i slept a dreamless sleep
for i knew i would awaken
to a dream in front of me

starry black curtains
that swayed in the morning breeze
i fear i have mistaken them
for the galaxy

and the dream i searched for that day
appeared before my eyes
but was as close and far as the milky way
a nightmare drenched in lies

and in my dreamless slumber
i guess i had hoped for too much
because the vibrant fireworks i had expected
were dull sparks
that i visioned were a flame
but were from a pile of ash
"man is the only creature who refuses to be what he is"
-albert camus
Music is language
Language tells lies
Deception is danger
Protection applies
MetaVerse May 27
There once was a bigfoot whose feet
Were shamefully small and petite,
     So he wore some big shoes,
     But the obvious ruse
Was a silly attempt at deceit.
In twilight's hush, where shadows play,
A whispered promise faded away.
A thread of trust, now frayed and worn,
A heart once open, now forever torn.

The wind it howls, a mournful sigh,
As moonlight dances, with a treacherous eye.
A path unwinding, through a midnight land,
Where echoes of deceit, forever stand.

The stars above, a distant hum,
A reminder of a love that's gone numb.
A flame that flickered, now reduced to ash,
A memory of joy, forever past.

In this dark landscape, I wander alone,
Searching for answers, to a heart of stone.
The truth it hides, behind a mask of pain,
And I'm left to wonder, if love will ever reign.

True love showed up  skunk as a drunk                    
slunk in upon itself   preyed upon
by a whirling brain
toiling effort against earths rotation
slept it off  on my sofa                                        
    True love stayed  got comfortable
smoked cigarettes and raided the fridge
True love made a **** Joke  and put its feet on the table
outdoor boots and all   lanky legs and begging breath
leaning forward  true love took a kiss
and a gulpy gup of energy
exchanged my breath for an arid fumigation
weak   i fell about silly and forgetfully naked
i forgot the day   missed work                 
to dedicate true to the night bedded and the bottle
nest of quips and extreme **** motional thoughts
monk no longer   stronger surely with 'love'
study-study and become sturdy with love
(after all 'true love' has most certainly been untrue)
'true love' could expand from me maybe ?
i'd **** the wooly beings who contacted me
sign them up  to the great contract                          
just as the previous monster had dominated me
and let me loose                                  
a ***** criminal  with odd 'successes'
now a true monster me   fiend freed                  
                              just pull back and go

In shadows they lurk, with deceit as their guide,
Claiming truths not their own, where their morals have died.
A hollow pursuit, in the depths of the night,
Seeking light from others, to claim as their right.

But truth is a flame that burns from within,
Not a trophy to steal, nor a prize to win.
It's the essence of being, the core of our soul,
Not a void to be filled, nor a gap to control.

So let's hold our truth, with compassion and grace,
And walk our own paths, at our own steady pace.
For the truth that we live, is the light that we give,
In a world of shadows, it's how we truly live.
They tell one lie,
They speak one truth.
'It's easy to heal,
But you'll remember all your scars.'

The latter of the two, a truth.
Though that which precedes,
Lies through it's teeth.
Fangs of darkness and deceit,
Designed to forge a man with a black heart.
If not for the comfort of the summer sea,
I too would've succumbed to the gray of this city.
Morphed from a young and happy form,
To a soulless monster,
'****-Malum.'
****-Malum=Evil Man
