There Will Always Be One

2013-03-26T21:35:00.002-04:00

It's a vicious circle
A vicious cycle
This lovesick heart
Will always know
No matter if you're here
Or she's there
I'll always love one

Out Of My League

2013-03-26T01:54:00.002-04:00

In a short time you've come to mean a lot to me
More than I think that you can see
You've got thoughts floating through my head constantly

A girl once told me, "Distance ain't shit"
Those words I hope she won't forget
Because, as far as I can see, we're a pretty good fit

You make me want to be a better man
To do the best that I possibly can
In such a short time, I don't understand

I hope you aren't put off by how I feel
I hope this is the start of something real
You are a woman for whom my heart can heal

My Heart Will Be Broken

2013-03-25T14:07:00.002-04:00

In the time it takes
For two to conversate
I felt a quake
In my soul, so great

The thought that this might
Be slipping out of sight
Frightens me to my core
But I could not ask for more

I spent two days
Learning different ways
To make you smile
And to make you frown

I spent two days
Only a heartbeat away
From an apparent kindred soul

Now I lay awake wondering
What could be lying ahead
All that could have been said
And what it all means

I'm at a loss for words
As this poem winds to an end
I've found a girl worth pursuing
And I no longer have to pretend

The End

2013-03-07T11:31:00.000-05:00

He hides in the shadows as she reaches her car.
Swiftly he comes up behind her,
Covers her mouth
Puts her in a blood choke.
"Go to sleep, bitch."
He hears her muffled cries from the backseat when she wakes up a few minutes later.
He has no sympathy.
There is a fear in her eyes unlike anything he's ever seen before.
It's exciting.
She finally feels his pain.
His sorrow and loss.
Or at least she will...

Upon reach the cabin,
He drags her by the hair out of the car.
Pulls her into the shack.
She looks around,
All over there are pictures,
There are memories.

He pulls a knife from his pocket.
Draws it across her face gently.
"You scared yet?"
Slice.
The first cut.
The blood trickles down her cheek.
Slice.
Another cut.
The blood trickles faster now.

"Don't worry. I'm not going to kill you. Yet."
He smiles as he looks into her eyes.
It's the smile of a man with nothing to lose.
A smile that shows pain.
A smile that shows justified hate.
A smile of insanity.

Just when she thinks she sees
A glimmer of humanity in his eyes
The spark is gone.
More cuts.
A thousand tiny cuts.
Until she is screaming in pain.
Writhing, bound to the chair
SCREAMING IN PAIN

No one can hear her.
No one is there.
He is there
But his soul is empty.
Nothing to lose.

With her bleeding profusely from every inch of her skin,
He pours a bucket of salt water over her head.
She screams in agony.
He has no compassion for her.
He makes sure she's bound securely
Before he leaves for the day.

"I'll be back tomorrow
to pick up where I left off."

Societal Sickness

2013-01-27T04:35:00.003-05:00

--THIS IS NOT A TEST.--

YOU ARE SICK.

YOU ARE LIVING A LIE.

YOU NEED THE ANTI-VENOM

YOU NEED THE ANTIDOTE

YOU NEED TO BE FREE.

SAVE YOURSELF BEFORE THIS GETS WORSE

THE BIRDS FALL FROM THE SKY

AND THE GROUND TAKES THE EDIFICE BACK

THROUGH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE

WE WILL ALL FALL.

--I REPEAT:--

--THIS IS NOT A TEST--

DO NOT TAKE THIS AT FACE VALUE

YOU NEED TO THINK

LOOK AROUND YOU

WHAT IS HAPPENING?

ASK YOURSELF A QUESTION TODAY

TOMORROW WILL BE BETTER.

--THIS IS NOT A TEST--

I Hate The Smell Of Cinnamon Air Fresheners

2013-01-27T04:30:00.001-05:00

Neurotic pain spews forth from the interhemispheric fissure
Choking optic nerves with strength reserved for immortals
Zeus' bolt shoved, destroying the basal ganglia with pressure
Vomit usurping the...
...fuck I lost my train of thought.

I'm just going to unplug this fucking thing.

On My Altar Of Bones

2013-01-07T01:17:00.001-05:00

Secret sex tears nations apart
While underlings scrape by
Societal difference causing waste
As humans die on the sidelines

Covet thy neighbour for this is capitalism
Covet thy neighbours wife for this is healthy
Honour thy father, thy mother be damned
There are many gods before me

Philosophical minds breed contempt
For governments that know best
Just follow blindly, all my sheep
The organization won't lead you astray

Drop to thy knees and worship the Dollar
Exalt the Pound and Euro
For thine kingdom is and ever will be
A hell upon the backs of the people

Dreaming of Your Divinity

2013-01-07T00:49:00.001-05:00

As I close my eyes and drift off to sleep
I begin to dream of you
There's so many things I want to say
And so many I want to do
If you give me a chance
You could clearly see
That I am a captive
Of your figurative divinity
Not everyone thinks
The way I do
A good thing, I bet
For the world too
But there's one thing I know
I know how to love
I will always give
And I will never shove
This is the man I want to be
You helped me finally see
I owe you everything,
But everything is gone

Don't Lie To Me

2013-01-07T00:35:00.002-05:00

I love flowers.
And I also love death.
There's only so far to go
While holding your breath

So take a minute and smell the roses
As the chlorine gas creeps up through
Seeping into all of our noses
Before we know what to do

It's nothing to be ashamed about
This fascination with dying
We all just take a different route
And being honest is better than lying

Drugs Don't Dull Pain

2013-01-07T00:32:00.001-05:00

The smell of pussy lingers long after you leave
As I sink into sweet opiatic bliss
You left your stained panties
Laying on my nightstand

I hear the typewriter click in the kitchen
And I know you're not gone
Just writing another line
To just one more song

Stumbling I work my way towards you
Help me, I cry
I'm falling away, I think I must die
You cradle me now, forever

I feel stomach contents in my throat
As you drag me out
Nothing feels good anymore
And no one can help

It's cold outside is all I think
I hear a siren wailing
They're coming for me I know
But they'll never make it in time

It's Me... I'm The Artist

2013-01-07T00:21:00.001-05:00

A fucking burst of inspiration
Is surging through my veins
The best drug I've ever smoked
Is pure creativity

I can't help that you are vain
I don't know how to help you
My hands are clenched in fists of rage
But I'm happy nonetheless

I'm off-the-wall and entirely
Confused with the mediocrity
No real artists anymore
Just pimps and their prized whore

But I have words I truly believe
That will never be any use to me
Take them use them as you wish
Just remember who the artist is

Tomorrow Is A New Day

2013-01-07T00:17:00.000-05:00

Tomorrow I leave
I know this is wrong
But there's nothing left
Of this old song

I need to find new
New places and things
Fresh beginnings
And no diamond rings

The heart will lead
It always has
And plants the seed
That crosses paths

My goal is west
Or possibly north
Never knowing what
Life will bring forth

But fear not friends
My new home is grand
It's a place without ends
A place for me to stand

I'll be tall, with respect and love
No one will again belittle me
And I will always thank the man above
For showing me what I couldn't see

Escalation of Force

2013-01-07T00:09:00.000-05:00

I am at peace
I need to rest
The battle has started
For this young vet

You'll soon come to find
That I have been nice
I have been kind
But it came with a price

The price was devotion
Which has been thrown away
With one little notion
Of things gone astray

But niceties are now gone
The happiness is past
It's a brand new dawn
And only one of us shall last

With this new day
There's only one thing to do
And nothing to say

Pretty Pretty Girl

2013-01-07T00:02:00.000-05:00

Pretty pretty girl you know how it is
I'll give you my hand, you give me a kiss

Pretty pretty girl I know you know
You see in my heart and guide me slow

Pretty pretty girl won't you walk with me
Teach me how I'm supposed to be

Pretty pretty girl now don't be shy
You'll give me your hand and I'll wonder why

Neverending Story Of My Life

2013-01-06T23:58:00.001-05:00

I had no money, nothing to give
I had no reason, none to live
You gave me a chance
You let me speak
I made you laugh
All tongue-in-cheek

This soon escalated
To something more
God closed a window
And opened a door

Now here I sit
Right next to you
A million miles away
But closer too

You're in my head
And throughout my heart
Always thinking of me
When we're apart

Now all I ask is to understand
All I can give, is to hold your hand
If that's all you need then you're in luck
I'll be yours, I won't run amok

Just A Chance

2013-01-06T23:46:00.001-05:00

My heart beats harder
The butterflies flutter
When I see your face

My palms get sweaty
Knees feeling shaky
When I see your face

But like anything, given time
I'll come around and you'll be mine
Tell me a story, I'll spin you a rhyme
Just like Cash, I walk the line

Nothing's ever made me feel like this
I wish I could feel just one kiss
I'm okay with a long hard wait
Because you'll be there, you are my fate

Color me jealous of the ones before
But they're not knocking on your door
I am here, as I always will be
Just give me a chance and you will see

Climbing

2013-01-02T01:21:00.002-05:00

There is a box
High on a shelf
In it contains
knowledge and wealth
The higher you climb
The more you lose

The more you lose
The worse you feel
The more you need
The box to be real
Keep on climbing
You're almost there

You're almost there
It's straight ahead
One more decision
Or else you're dead
Do you throw it all away
In an effort for glory and fame?

In an effort for glory and fame
You left yourself behind
There's nothing left
But an empty shell
A hollow piece
Of whatever remains

Sharing It All

2013-01-02T01:00:00.000-05:00

My heart is open, my mind is free
Nothing quite like serenity
An open field, a hidden vale
Our ocean boat with billowed sail

My back is strong, my hands don't ache
I have learned what I can take
A frigid brook, a thorny rose
A loom to make our own clothes

The life is simple, the happiness true
Never again will I be blue
The sun will shine, the rain will fall
But I have you to share it all

New Renaissance

2013-01-02T00:55:00.001-05:00

I'm back with a vengeance, it's a new renaissance
Nothing to lose, left with nonchalance
I was backed in a corner, but I am free
Nothing to lose, yet less misery

I yearn for peace, but understand
That no one's found it without a stand
I must fight, and I will win
So that you won't live again

I will stand strong and fight today
Behind the scenes and in the fray
Yelling commands to all my help
From elders to the new young welp

We will come back, we will prevail
Over the hills and in the vale
These rivers will run with the blood
Heads will fall with a resounding thud

Eventually, you will see
The mistake was not me
For you alone had it all
Thrown away with one last call

The Queen

2013-01-02T00:41:00.001-05:00

Sitting on her throne the Queen glares down
As her servants scurry around
She barks and she screams to all who can hear
"Do my bidding, you have nothing to fear!"

No one believes, but does as their told
There will be none to break the mold
But one soldier stands tall, he makes his escape
To flee from the pain he has come to embrace

He runs and he runs until he falls
Looks to the streets and the shopping malls
There is a woman, her name unknown
But in his heart, their tale is sewn

They go to the castle and storm the gates
Finding the Queen that everyone hates
They use their tact, they use their skill
Steal it all for their own thrill

"Your time has come, it was obscene,"
The soldier cries to the Queen,
"I stole your crown and your prize
I took what's mine, now no more lies!"

Your Time Is Now

2013-01-02T00:30:00.000-05:00

i am counting down to your embrace
the feeling leaving from my face
i do not hear i do not see
but that is no tragedy

i long for what i can not have
the prize that's just out of my grasp
a yearning for the one that's dear
that bullet placed behind my ear

a sanctified bitch's scorn
and the devil's bright red horn
i'm falling far from your grace
into her love embrace

the calender falls of the wall
as they say, time heals all
but wounds that can not bleed
will always be to plant the seed

the seed of doubt sown on the ground
leads to folly, the fool's around
lead him, drag him, he will stray
no one will be there for your day

A Soliloquy To Last The Ages

2013-01-01T21:37:00.000-05:00

A soliloquy to last the ages, a dialogue to express my fears
A dream to last a fortnight, an dialogue to express my years

Camphor and chamomile, a shaman's delight
Rid me of the dreams, save me from the fight

Squelch the rumors, the hate, the lies
Kill the rats, the traitors, the spies

An epiphany to last the ages, a speech to express my tears
A vivid lucidity to last forever, a love to express the new years

Happiness Is Knocking On My Door

2013-01-01T21:11:00.001-05:00

My dreams are becoming realities, my fears are finally realized.
Even now, while in limbo, I yearn for you, standing at the window.
Cradle the baby, I'll be by your side, no more running, no reason to hide.
I flee the home where all I know is pain and sorrow, defeat and woe.
To go to a place far down below.

You're waiting for me, I will run into your arms
Southern belle with your witty charms.
I crave thee now, forever I might,
Too soon to know what end is in sight.
But yet I chase, more intense than you know,
Oxytocin explosion this much I will show.

No one to follow, a true partnership found,
The sweet embrace wrapped all around.
I sink into nirvana, sweet serene bliss,
As I wait for your voice, your touch, your kiss.

Old Lady

2012-12-24T23:26:00.000-05:00

The old lady tossed me out on my ass
No more living large or spending cash
On the down and out and on the mend
I've only got one more message to send

Gotta tell you how I feel
Tell you the things I know are real
You kill me with a look
And you know how to kill
No shame, just the thrill

Bitch

2012-07-30T15:20:00.000-04:00

There's a woman
The fucking bitch ruins me with a look
All she needs to do
Is to put the lead in my head
I'm waiting for her to kill me
To put me out of my misery

One day I will be eased
The great divide will be ceased
She will rip off my face
And dissect the mind she can't understand
