Shiny Shoes, you stomp on me A soul, a helpless road Your heart a heavy burden My back a strongman's load Cursive Hands, you draw me well In bed near death once over My heart on canvas midnight black My dove a wretched lover Cherry Smile, you dance with me Near fire and mighty cliffs I sold my ships to grapple Your deadly siren's kiss Curly Hair, you blinded me My eyes I cannot give You want to learn my story I feel I have not lived

(POETRY) Red Eyes
Red Eyes, come closer near I see what they cannot You blinded them with grace Their view- your malice blot You lift your legs and dance Like ashen rose near wildfire They light the limbs and raze To burn the child they sire Oh shed a tear and cry And damn the world once over To death and blackened Hell One deafened note all over Now press your lungs and sing Give birth to joyous tones Of how you love the chaos And fight the world alone You breathe and give me life Your vice is all but mine Your lips and smile are toxic But toxic like red wine You give me strength to stand And look upon the mirror I dream upon a foggy hill With you the haze grows clearer I wish the world to glare at me And beat me to the ground I hope the wind shall guide my way And lead me to your sound Red Eyes, your words are soft And I shall know your name They never look behind the mask You're smiling all the same
(POETRY) Old Elixir
When actions roll and all is joy When life is dull and praise a toy When eatings done for eatings sake When easy come and easy take There is a hope for one and all When daggers poke and life' a stall Come one come soon, and have a beer That one did brew with blood and tear An ale of tread, it dims the pain Get drunk on sweat, and praise the rain 'Cause rain is snow with leather shine Work hard to down, the sweaty wine A drink so swell, it breaks the clock Damn beds to hell, come work, we knock A broken chair, we come to fix'er We sing of men, the Old Elixir
(POETRY) There’s a hell so chaotic
There's a hell so chaotic It burns at your soul A want of coherence A void full of holes To reach for your body The crisis of being The ultimate failure To think too much thinking You need to stay steady But turn off your head Close off your perception To that bloody red For 'tis the sole road That trekking is cozy Think not of the dying But smelling the rosy
(POETRY) The Absurd
To be an unbeing The slashing of wrists A finale unclever Yet I see no shame A life full of choices Yet outcome unwanted? Take charge of one's life Don't hang up the curtains To take away life Life that's your own Decision ungiven Yet real as it gets Crime unchargable Life creeps and taunts The final rebellion An end to the anguish Simply an ending The galaxy stands You're merely a nothing In the ocean of stillness But if life provides Tangible meaning Hold and grab and swing Do not give slack Jump high for it Do not be defeated The difference in meaning It's called the Absurd
(POETRY) An ending so clever
Songs without singers They sit on the shelves Tomes of heroics Stocked by li'l elves A graveyard of thoughts An old mausoleum Paper like grain flakes And no eyes to see them A pity- a shame An intellect crime Content so wasted They're battered by time Years spent in writing A lifelong endeavor A bonfire of vowels An ending so clever
(POETRY) Time is the railway
Time is the railway Onto the next day Pushed on the infinite In perception it lay A useless ambition To wind back the clock 'Tis here for the long run To tease and to mock It takes back your skin Your ears and your eyes It looks at your journal It sees through your lies Single minded machine It shovels the graves It knows not of bias It slaughters in waves
(POETRY) Our fatal flaw
With borrowed air, the trumpets blast Doth killed the foe, vic'tree at last But now we sit and stand and think With thought- our flags and arrows shrink Our fatal flaw- I'll tell you now We rack our brains- too shamed to bow To think of thoughts- you'll come to see Food for fools- futility The wondrous world- too large to grasp Our tiny brains- we watch and gasp Living, breathing- 'tis all we need Eat the food and spread your seed You see I share- in this new fault The end to all- a bath in salt You think too much- it's plain to see Kill the thought- take flight, be free-
(POETRY) Live and let stare
The sweat of lust A death, your own A lousy fate To sell your throne To wish of girls That dress in coal Lustful princess Devoid of soul It forms the man- A lifeless dog Flood of ticking- A pulsing fog To live and die Without a care Crime of passion Live and let stare
(POETRY) Farmer Frick
A tune so quaint It tame the horses It drove the day In all its courses A hat so tall It give them shade They gathered 'round They ain't afraid A smile so straight It point the way Down the foothills- Fields of hay A laugh so true It makes ya sick All adored him That Farmer Frick
