#rival
you stare at me
from across the room,
like im your rival.
im still not sure
if you hate me
or just dislike me.
maybe you're just waiting
for me
to trip
so you can say --
"i told you so"
we could've been friends --
could've been more than.
what did i do
to get put in this position?
do you even hate me?
am i a rival to you?
because im too tired
of pretending
that there's nothing here.
because the silence
is too loud,
it burns my head.
i want to work this out,
where the static
can turn
to rhythm.
when the silence
finally
vanishes
and the burning
stops.

With the coming of the spring, i see your flower bloom.
Would that I cut off the leaves and do harm to you.

idle by my idols
practice like a recital
did not know your love was so vital
your ex my new rival
jealous and jealously
remember i am all you need

Longing for the land of my lineage
I am dying here, in Beggar Country
Here, where fools act the wise
Pseudo Intellectualism steadily on the rise
Where the disease celebritism has took hold
Forced out the tried and true for the shiny yet old
Where the idiom
The more things that change, the more remains the same
Is unquestionably fact
I long for Ireland
I long to go back
Give me land that's green
And rolling countryside
Give me tide to rival hell's fury
And people that mean well, amid gales so dreary
I miss fog
Like that kicked up by the mire
Give me land that's hungry
Give me people that's tired

No one to remember,
no one to forget.
I watch him take a final breath
and his eyes show no regret.
It’s the end of one story,
the start of another.
Just know, long ago i’d
naively call him a lover.

_Rival - Ruelle_
The tide is high
It's sink or swim
My only rival is within
Giants calling round the bend
My only rival is within
I won't let my demons win
My only rival is within
I will fight through thick and thin
My only rival is within
Kingdoms rise and kingdoms end
My only rival is within
This is where it all begins
My only rival is within
The tide is high
It's sink or swim
My only rival is within

You’ve given no reason
For me to feel this way
But all reasons aside
You’re such a cliché
The cheerleader type
You run and you play
But I remember a time
Your type would betray
Your voice pitch is high
Your IQ count can’t match
I really can’t see why
You’re considered a catch
But maybe I’m petty
Or jealous, or insecure
I think I’m just ready
To be called particular
I don’t like your type
I don’t fancy to be friends
I don’t follow the hype
You give me the bends

I am my own enemy
Watering fresh dreams
With stale efforts
I am my own foe
Reaping the fruits of
The dead seeds I sow
I am my own rival
Dying of thirst
But trying to drown first
I am my own nemesis
A perpetual decadent
A fool, A pessimist

OUT 4
Dave was his name and he plays rugby,
he wants to see you and share a drink with you.
Will that be all you share, as you see him every Thursday?
I know how these things work, two months as mates
“See you next Thursday Danna…” and then
you’re suddenly lovers.
He noticed me, the week before, needing to be with you.
Patience was his game and yourself was his cause
as he hatched his little plans.
Now he will think, when will she be mine?
I know it will work. All it takes is a little time.

OUT
So we went out to see a film, with cars and music:
The Fast and The Furious. It’s like old times, you know,
Nick and Danna, when we had that thing.
Now the film ends and we go to your house,
reality hits home in the usual way.
The bloke you met sends you a text “Hello beautiful…”
and then I know it’s time to leave.
The trauma starts as I realise, this is it,
it’s finally over and I have to move on.

Running for his life, he made his courage known
Turning to try to turn the tide, his strong stance surely shown
Frowning upon the enemy face, he waited for the fight
pounding, stomping around the corner, his foe came into sight
...Questioning the crying kid...
he hug'd his brother tight

The passion of my heart.
Could wear the river rocks to dust.
Relentless like the tides of moons.
The passion of my heart.
Could travel any distance.
It knows no barrier like the fading Ozone.
The passion of my heart.
Could melt with invisible fire.
Like the polar ice caps.
The passion of my heart.
Could feed the hungry.
Full of Endless substance.
The passion of my heart.
Could be inconceivably large.
Rivaling the Sun and the stars.

Ploratus
There’s nothing left to save.
Ploratus
The end has come.
Ploratus
Her elixir, eternal bliss
Ploratus
A nemesis of old
Ploratus
All the price of dalliance
