"deathblow" poems
(The sound of breathing)
I am the air / unseen
a breath
underneath
the rush
the coffee
the traffic
on concrete streets
I am lifting the dirt
the grime
the dust
polluting us
I am adding wings
to the speed of your feet
to where your dreams may meet
I am the sigh
in your quivering lungs
inside your heart
such self defeat
when you concede to its
deceit / disease / cease to breathe
never to notice me
or listen to our song
Time’s
Wind chimes
a summer's relief / a breeze
strides along
cooling your face from the heat
Do not say you blame it all on me
Don't say I'm the purpose
the reason
or the space between
Wound of flesh, lips compulsive kiss
The mindless lies
Loss of will
between the heart & the eyes
unable and refusing to see
It’s why our love
retreats
Dagger / plunged
the deathblow
a quick hands woes
A heartless man goes
so neat and clean
so discreet
hiding in the bleak
uncaring
so...
I am the air
you never notice me
touching
your sorrow
your skin
yet never being / your glee
invisible
that is how despair begins
I am the air / unseen
waiting for you to care
to notice
to open eyes, see!
I am the air, here / with you
a friend that is always
there
invisible
waiting to be / seen.
do you notice me?
(The sound of breathing)
A heart is beating.

Did you notice
The life we misbelieve …
Us
The invisible
Unbecoming
Unloved

Pyramid's mania
Languid pink lotus-eaters
Ominous and luminous
Faded to darkened scars
Eternity held the stars
My how you spoof yourself
Your puerile ferocity
Scuds' untamed velocity
'neath fearsome thunderstorm
Loving before you were born
Now you've gone too far
You're caught in vertigo
Spinning with nowhere to go
No one here you can call,
Nowhere else to hide at all
How's it feel all alone?
Just two inches tall, you stand
Onstage in a cold, strange land
Singing in a silver thong
Quirky tunes grace the throng
Laughter, hisses and boos
Chorus of ridicule
Pomposities of smug cool
Blinding radioactive rage
Taught in a tight cage onstage
You're clamoring now
Your timid voice starts to crack
Look to sky, no one looks back
Blood and sweat fuel the swarm
Furious scuds preview the storm
You ***** a mumbo
APOLLO Coventry hail
The Black Pharaoh wields his flail
Advent of El Diablo
Swiftly comes the deathblow
Aroused by gravity,
****** ground spins before you
******* tingle tango for two
Nobody is calling
You're fearlessly falling
The wind roars in your ears
Ridicule's easing winnow
Distorted faces in windows
Adagio Eternus
Virtue and Disgrace Opus
Beadle cleans the sidewalk
Of a Swan-song's human rubble
Whistling, he's forming a riddle
Dangerous timeless Sphinx
Bested by the modern Kings

Are you my shade or are you my shadow?
Will you bring me to life or deal me the deathblow?
Am I crazy for loving - crazy for needing?
Insanity leaves my exhausted brain bleeding.
You keep me at arm’s length,keep me holding
Waiting and wishing,through all of the scolding
My mind tells me something; I know I should listen
But my heart is at war... death is its mission
Death of the pain and death of the lies
Death of this ****** hope,death while I cry.

A passion was awoken
That could not be tamed,
And what once was a spark
Has now left such an ugly scar
Maybe,
It's one of the love trademarks
To build up a thing
Only to watch it fall apart
So fall not
For such foolery,
Magic, these days,
Is often trickery.
Fragile as a flower,
It will softly walk in,
Persistent as a ****
It will never leave.
There is a fine line,
Between love and madness,
You're bound to cross
If you don't keep yourself in check
As light as a wing,
It can still make your heart sink,
As tempting is its invitation
The result might still be horrendous
And the worst of all,
A deathblow,
What if the leaving stars,
Take it all?
As concrete as the ocean tides,
lasting like a kid's attention,
To fall or to take a flight,
It's your and only your choice.

The phantom assassin picks up her blade of blood
Having ended the war with the demons
Thanks to the one who backed her hood
After ceasing the battle through the obstacle
Magina has done his role...he conquered the meadow
Then to ancient, his soul remains bleeding
But he can not see Mot-red's shadow
That the eye of her never blinks
She can not believe in anyone’s cry
For the demons still dwell in her shadow
As been caught in their evil’s macabre
Trusting only time can make her whole
The sacrificial of who holded them at war
Cries in the triumph of battle end
Avenged and laughed at those who tried
But never ends the duality raging within
The blood on her death sword below
A sequence of cries he cried
Her power to hide his soul at deathblow
Reigns the dawn of the glory
He had killed and been killed for his glove
Giving hand to the shadow princess
Searching for the meaning of sacrificial love
Soul always holding behind her shadow
Strength confirms but the war doesn’t dies
By the tears in the edge of her blade
With eternal rays from his eyes
The blood still fall from the heaven
Those who shielded under their stand
Bows before the tears in her eyes
His back to her soul at the demon land
Breaks the secrecy of the her mask
She lay down beside crippling soul
Rubbing his hand to let out genie
Wanting to let out the console
Only to see him smile over blushing mask
Will she never weep in the rain
Of this blushing magic killer
Knowing he always will be in pain
Fighting the joy that has never existed
There is never a higher word
To define his hand for her
Some only understands partial
The tale within the past time

Sell out a million for a billion
Bloodflow, cashflow all im feelin
Keep pumpin till oblivion
Aint no ceilin and corpses pile on
Unapologetic ******* cash rules everything now
Pathetic stay low and when I pass you better bow
Autokrat choose when the deathblow hits earth now
Fully automatic sell to to the Congo, cash for ammo
God is cash and im feelin like money
Only one I'll let in to heaven is me
Peasant blood best remember fealty
Best worship the ground beneath me
I Keep pushin on the system till it cracks
While its delegates write me a paycheck
They lick my boots while I crush your neck
They watch as you suffocate fear the plutomaniac

I see you sitting there with a thumb in your mouth
and you wonder why the words wont come out.
The kid's too stout - he's too proud - too loud.
The type to carry around a pouch of sauerkraut
then pout when everything tastes south. Outstanding!
He's damming the river to prevent the peasants from swimming,
and doesn't realize the only thing keeping him afloat is down below.
Hello? Turn them sky highs into clout, boy- make it snow!
Lord of the purple prose - (what does he mean) who knows?
Not me - I'm too busy dwindling the last of the rations;
irrationally casting matches at a long list of parched cabins.
How can you expect me to feed in an orderly fashion?
I didn't reach the top link to eat without sending a message.
Savage patch kid wielding lightsabers for utensils -
We're a rare breed bred into existence to resist all that is vintage.
Equipped with shark fangs and griffon wings,
we're here to free the underlings from redundent sufferings.
Please excuse the reign, it follows me wherever I go
like a little lost dog caught up under my toe,
gravitating towards my end-all deathblow.

The grinning dragon leers
with lascivious intent
it's all seeing eyes
take me in
from head
to toe
tasting me
grinding it's teeth
with just the sight of me
it wants to be fed
and in my trembling hands
i hold my sword
it lays heavy
pulling at my shoulders
but it's weight gives comfort
a credence
to the damage it will cause
to the salvation it will bring
a deathblow
with one strike
and the dragon's black heart
will be removed from it's chest
once and for all
of mankind
but it sees my fear
smells my vulnerability
as it licks at me
with it's black shining eyes
feeding from my disquiet
my back touches the door
the cold wood
is hard against my skin
but it keeps me standing
it was the last place
that he
my salvation
had touched
and still
that place
it burns through my back
giving courage
to my fearful heart
the dragon steps forward
towering
flames licking
from it's flared nostrils
moving silently
it approaches
*"We meet again Little Bear..
not so brave today
are we"*

You ask me,
Why I'm angry all the time?
It’s no simple task,
To put on,
A straight face,
When I’ve been,
"Hurt",
By the people I hold close,
To my heart.
The biggest deathblow,
To me unknowingly,
Was you,
When you decided,
To leave me "angry".

In that moment, easily manipulated; yanked
I am spinning
It doesn't matter
As I wedge myself between barely visible and “God, I’m cursed!”
No restoration... when forces tear loose from their axis
And then I was reminded, "But did they inject and inspect every single part of you?"
Whirling up and swirling blackness
Stepping over a threshold
Tumbling me over
My heart maneuvers through a block of ice,
Some kind of arctic daydream
Strangling, a wearied me
Choking whatever warmth I had left within
awakening the nightmare
And far into my space I go
My flickering space
Jostled by pulsing fingers of tumultuous
And then I was reminded, "But did they inject and inspect every single part of you?"
Thus I am dark
The end note
Now
Pouring out all things without destination
And I barely stir… Then
Snap, crackle n pop
Out at its end
Where there is nothing else
I was nuthin’ more
The coup de grâce
A slave of this -
S
W
I
R
L
I
N
G
Lunacy –
A prisoner of this cartoon that’s me, Shackled too... To dark cloud Demons - No doubt!
And then I remembered that they injected and inspected every single part of me...

(The sound of breathing)
I am the air / unseen
a breath
underneath
the rush
the coffee
the traffic
on concrete streets
I am lifting the dirt
the grime
the dust
polluting us
I am adding wings
to the speed of your feet
to where your dreams may meet
I am the sigh
in your quivering lungs
inside your heart
such self defeat
when you concede to it
deceit / disease / cease to breathe
never to notice me
or listen to our song
everything
Wind chimes time
a summer's relief / a breeze
strides along
cooling your face from the heat
Do not say you blame it all on me
Don't say I'm the purpose
the reason
or the space between
knife and slice of skin
between the heart & the eyes
unable and refusing to see
why our love
retreats
Dagger / plunged
the deathblow
a quick hands woes
A heartless man goes
so neat and clean
so discreet
hiding in the bleak
uncaring
so...
I am the air
you never notice me
touching
your sorrow
your skin
yet never being / your glee
invisible
that is how despair begins
I am the air / unseen
waiting for you to care
to notice
to open eyes, see!
I am the air, here / with you
a friend that is always
there
invisible
waiting to be / seen.
do you notice me?
(The sound of breathing)
A heart is beating.

So before we prey...I’ll hang my head...loathe
Undeserving of loving you...I know
The chastised evil will come home
So before we play pretend...I’ll string up my neck
Sow the undiscovered halo back again...I know
The cherished death blow will be beautiful
When should I go...underwhelming...I’ll hang my head...low
For I know my blackened eyes glow
The silent sirens break the windows
I know what I’ve done is miserable
So before we prey...I’ll play pretend
I’ll hang her head next to mine
I promise the death blow will be beautiful

Twilight’s Shadow
I’m lost in my thoughts and In the
Silence of the night hear my heart beat
Life always finds a way to knock me
Down but I’ll never face defeat
I’m not a wise man by any means
But I’ve managed to survive
Ask yourself if you feel dead inside
What will make you feel alive
Take a pause feel your heart
Know the joy and know the pain
Find your reason to live
Enjoy the Sun enjoy the rain
Don’t decide to find happiness
With artificial stimulation
Search yourself like a dead poet’s society
Find your own life’s translation
Your life was a gift so live and love
If darkness hits you with a deathblow
Roll with the punch and
Dance in Twilight’s Shadow

The floor boards are torn
I hear laughter I fear noise
Red lights ring out so loud
But yet I’m deaf to the sound
With the windows blasted out
The rain drops drop
The boy sits still
While ropes hang low
He holds her hand
While he demands she follows
Follow him down to the laughing city
Where the people are changing all their minds it’s crazy
Hold on...don’t talk
The walk is dreary unpleasant
But just know this one boy would do anything
For you...for you
I would for you...for you I would loose control
Not look back nor think of tomorrow
Just trust me I know...
We’ll walk for what might feel like forever
Just know the deathblow will be beautiful...
