Sedens GyreNo more though I pine, may I rip from breast and thought
This blind obedience to kind that claims all that is naught
What trance belies and thus survives divided from the whole
Ere natures heart must thus depart from customary roles
As fleeting breaths do evanesce in splintered harmony
Bids archeus farewell to dwell in brief obscurity
What balm may...

Mirror's Grab
It's too dark for her.
She daubs mascara on glass.
The mirror has no arms...
Night's just in the morning.
There existing, the eyes ran
Upon former years, tears
The mood stops, reflecting
Make faces, she's mine
Broken embers from limbs
Vice and crash,
Both's empty blood —
She's twisting surfacing
Barbwire that
Blocks out
Shards...

Gonewhy must you be this way,
we came united and you know our ways,
you spreaded your wings and left,
you have forgotten of what we descended of,
and you left us ashamed,
i cry alone in the dark,
awaiting for your return,
but in the end its just stone cold,
i wish you came back but it will never be true....

Never Trust A Man With Sly EyesDoes your so-called honesty
only lead to tribulation?
Honestly,
life without you
makes me feel nothing
but blissful vindication-
indication of all the time
you stole out from under
me.
I was blind not to see
the slyness hidden
behind your eyes.
And my foolishness nearly
led to an early demise.
But if you're a fox,...

The DayThis is the day
We break the bread
Cup full of wine
To numb the head
This is the day
When truth reveals
The veil of lies
A mind conceals
This is the day
We knew would be
That thorny cap
Of destiny
Awaits the king
Of hearts and minds
Releasing all the
Chain that binds
This is the day
A final feast
Then walk to face
The mighty beast
A farewell toast
A hug...

Until Next TimeUntil we meet again
Not by chance
But by design
Not by accident
But by choices accepted or declined
Not by coincidence
But by the alignment of our souls
Not by a fluke
But by universal sparks that unite our unrelenting goals
Not by a stroke of luck
But by focus and a guided decision
Not by blind impact
But by stars on a predetermined collision
Until we...

Let GoWhen you feel you're always controlled,
Like you've not got a choice,
Always questioning if your ever enough,
Letting others drown out your voice.
Feeling like you can never win,
No matter how hard you've tried,
To be left sat stewing alone,
Annoyed how many times you've cried.
Forever the victim to their games,
Enforcing the blame on to you,
Eventually their mask will fall...

Pain Of You LeavingYou leaving me destroyed me
It's more than my heart can bare
All I want and need in this moment
Is a true friend who will care
Someone to help comfort me
But there is no one here
All that is here for me
Is a painful and growing despair
Why you wouldn't stay I don't know
But I can't keep...

YOU HAVE FORGOTTENThe house on the corner with the white swing
Candles, wine and dreams
The darkness that loneliness brings
To forgotten mountains
You no longer recall any of it
We once wrote letters to strangers
Pretending they were our friends
But now we leave the candle unlit
Because somehow it no longer matters
I'll be leaving soon
Too quickly to fit in a goodbye
You'll be angry...

Truth or pretend
They sing the songs of love to you.
Is it because they think or hope that you will love them too?
They promise that their trust is given to you.
In exchange of course they expect the same from you.
They laugh at your jokes and hear you out.
But did they really get the jokes and see your doubts?
They...

1amIt’s one in the morning.
I zoomed into Lisa’s room
and threw myself on the bed where she lay reading
in a near virtuoso, Fosbury flop.
She bounced, jostled by my mechanical bed wave.
“I hate goodbyes,” I said, indignantly.
“You’re not strong on hellos” she said, not looking up.
“They’re so bone-marrow deep,” I went on, “they steal hope away.”
“Did that...

If The Muse Bolts from Me, I'll Love Her MoreIf the Muse bolts from me, I'll love her more
still and pen heartfelt songs of forlorn rhymes;
yet, I'll still wilt within internal climes
of gloom from her forsaking me before
I empty her spirit, for I've sometimes
gone to cruel lengths to...

The waves gently caress my feet, leaving traces of sand as they retreatThe waves gently caress my feet, leaving traces of sand as they retreat,
A weight presses on my heart, leaving me still, bound to memories,
For I still see you beside me, as if you never left this place,
The sunset by the waves reflects the tremor in my heart, reminding me of you,
Here, buried in the sand,...
