While you were sleeping I crept in and took a piece of your heart. The piece I was supposed to have. I'll use it for bait to draw you back in to me. Once hooked I'll seize a second piece leaving you gasping for breath from my kiss and trembling at the charge of my touch. You'll surrender and forfeit the last portion of your beating core so that it will merge with mine. THUMP THUMP...thump thump.

# There are thrones that are not thrones;   but instead, are ones built on the counterfeiting of substance, where hands grasp at weightless scepters, mistaking empty air for authority. There are crowns that are not crowns, forged not in fire, but in absence; polished not in wisdom, but in hunger; worn by those who mistake imitation for inheritance. This is the kingdom of voided substance— a palace where the Wellspring does not flow, where no roots drink deeply, where no walls hum with the resonance of truth. And yet, they gather. They gather in circles of shadow-- parched tongues speaking of rivers they have never touched, fingertips tracing the echoes of power but never the power itself. They weave words like veils over their thirst, drawing others into the orbit of their illusion, stealing what little water remains in the ones who have not yet fully entered the Source. They feed—not from the Well, but from the moisture of the lost, sustained by the remnants of those who still carry the trace of what is real. And they call it life. And they call it wisdom. And they call it love. But the crown they wear is hollow. The weight is an illusion. The throne beneath them—an image, projected; a structure that exists only so long as no one leans too hard upon it. They fear those who see. They mock those who refuse to kneel. They rage against the ones who have touched the living water and now speak of its taste.. of its cooling replenishment. Because they know. Somewhere, beneath the gilded artifice, beneath the hollow performance, beneath the empty sound of their own voices, they know. They were never given entry. In fear, they ran from the cost of true substance. They hold no access, only illusion. And so, they take, and take, and take— Until the weight of their own emptiness crushes them beneath the throne they have built from rust. But rust does not hold..    it deteriorates. And when the kingdom crumbles, when the crown slips from their grasp, when the illusion cracks beneath the weight of what is, what will remain of them then? For the hollow cannot stand against the gravity of the Real. #

The Hollow Crown

Small nations? Who cares! Unless you're Israel. Who else? Why spy and steal Just slam the steel Gift in hand, suggests Your daughter - or son - or else? Small nations petty thieves spy, steal from small nations. Big Boys see and laugh All of mine is yours If you worship us You'll be one of us. But Big Boy wannabe China, will never be; Splurged fake money by the ton But none worships Dragon's son.

Small Nations
It will protect you from my demons and me from my dreams. It grasps at hollow beauty and piercing lustful eyes. It guards me from the outside through wire disfiguration And laughs at their ohh so horrid haunting humor. It stabs through my back the ones who want me closer And chants a hundred times for sleepless nights and seventy two nightmare perfections. But you see this is all just for me So no one can steal the light that threatens to turn itself free The one that is dimming through my very own thievery For when I put on the mask It stops me from being me.

The Mask of Light and Misfit Demons
You're searching for even the slightest validation for your inexcusable actions, transient in both values and the physical realm, collecting conquests and usurpees like how one might collect trophies from animals they hunt, faces frozen in a false expression with unseeing glassy eyes as they are forever immortalised in your sick collection to be made a mockery of long after the passage of time takes it's toll on both the images and the subjects. A calculated maliciousness disguised as an indecisive personality, you are a bottom-feeder grafting onto the bellies of whomever are blissfully unaware or trusting enough to swim by you; but your own is yellow as a summer's day is long; not from just cowardliness, no, but from **** (sans the vinegar), and I wish I could compose this prose into something a little less hateful and a little more tasteful, but I won't spare you another second of my time, I'll erase you from my mind.

I'd Fight A Gemini
What a beautiful fiend That crept upon my sleeping form To ****** a heart not fully formed What a vicious tyrant To take what I was not ready to give Stealing in cruel dealing my love With her precious lips Full red and ready for a kiss With her fulsome chests And her eyes afire with an emerald quality What a mean sprite to slip through the night Making me desirous of her touch Making me long to hear her musical voice Hair afire long and exploding free For my pleasure and mine alone to see What a gift she chose to give to me For when with nimble fingers She did deftly burglar my heart This paragon of desire plucked her own And laid it gently in my sleeping hands
