See you there
Maniacal Escape Jan 2022
Into a world we've seen before,
Our shallow world remains
Slipping on razors
Clean on the inside
A blender filled with bleach.

Louise
Maniacal Escape Apr 2022
My Louise,
Chaos when you're near,
Madness when you're far.
Never too far away from me.
My Louise.

Benign blessing.
Maniacal Escape Oct 2020
Triangle praise
clappy happy shapes.
Tall librarian,  robes slipping underneath his own worth.
pennies to donate, salaried sanctity.
Precious metal prayer.
hatred of man, verse cursed, line lynched.
And thus begins todays mass sin.
turn to page three hundred and hatred forth.
196 · Apr 2021
Happy man.
Maniacal Escape Apr 2021
Bouncing on the sofa,
His tired eyes sing a song
He bounces and speaks.
Comforting strange man.

Maniacal Escape Jul 2020
Press forward!
Going nowhere.
Fire!
On a civilian standoff.
Count the dead,
10, 9, 8
0 casualty’s sir.
Great maths, soldier.

Bad packed bags
Maniacal Escape Aug 2021
The anxiety and excitement is palpable,
Gnawing at the mind, claw finger probing.
Who cares which entrance just shove in!

'please take a seat and wait sir, your journey will begin soon'.
Relax and take in the scenery as light comes alive.
Is the expectation.
The reality is crushing and humiliating.
Dreams shredded. Hopes shattered.
The plane did not leave the run way and disintegrated into a heap of disappointment.

Time to book a different flight.
185 · Jul 2021
Shhhh.
Maniacal Escape Jul 2021
Say goodbye.
See the lonely way out
Disappear.
I am your never
Your ever
Your cries
I'm your whenever,
Your quiet
Your byes
I'm your wherever
Your eternal
Good night.

Fizzy frustration
Maniacal Escape Aug 2020
Glass half empty,
because I drank the other half.
Drinking emptiness to fill empty.

Bloodstained Smurf.
Maniacal Escape Apr 2022
The mood is blue,
The day is blue,
The red has taken over.
The red is clean,
Close and pure.
The red washing at the blue.
The blue is true,
The red cuts through,
This purple mess is mine.
Its royal blue, as red bleeds through,
My blue man walks on by.

Absolute queen
Maniacal Escape Nov 2021
She sought her ciggies
In her dressing gown of glory
She lit up
And said
'you alright?'
Maniacal Escape Jul 2024
Time running away
In a slow motion quagmire,
Rotting away
In an addiction wasteland.
Look in the mirror
Wrists to the sky
He looks back
On your lips
Only salt.

Maniacal Escape Jul 2020
I’m saved.
Sad I meant.
What does it matter it’s done now.
How done though?
Spillage?
Fallout?
Nah, they’ve ****** off to pudding.
And it’s not me so happy days.
Fucksake, turns out they hate apple pie.

Sad boy
Maniacal Escape Aug 2021
Silence boy
Silly boy
Try it again boy.

Taint it boy
Let it all flow boy.
Daft boy
Silent boy
Swinging with tinsel boy.

Internal
Maniacal Escape Jan 2022
I dance in the garden with the newly insane,
Singing my own name
I slice up the surgeons that cleave into my brain
Laughing as the breath leaves my veins.

Princess
Maniacal Escape Aug 2023
When I get home,
Cloaked in all my anger from my work
My wee dogs paws, brush it all away.
All I have; is you, your wee paws tacking on the floor.

A shimmering masterpiece

Happy family.
Maniacal Escape Mar 2021
Living rooms,
Dining rooms,
Welcome hands.

Hateful glares,
Sneering smiles,
Open arms.

Lazarus
Maniacal Escape Aug 2023
Blood of my blood
Sins of my sins
Wrists are everything you need.
Cutting board cutting stains
Hold them out and let them renew
The world is so alive
For a zombie.

Dancing queen.
Maniacal Escape Jul 2023
Busting a move
On my sofa dancefloor.
Just me in my room
My hand jive
My breakdance
My cushions
My home.
Me and my songs.
My cigarettes and my wine.
My good time.
And no-one else around.
Maniacal Escape Jun 2023
An adult discussion.
A slave to his name, as long as he's happy.
An axe to the face. A wound he can warm in.
A slash to the heart. A cave he can scheme in.
An ******* he can dine in.
A feast for his ego.
No raised words.
No arguments.
He can't unfuck me.
An adult discussion.
163 · Aug 2023
Red roundabouts
Maniacal Escape Aug 2023
Muffled. Sated. Play.
Titivating the field with wine.
Game changing moments,
Clouded in a red haze.

The poison needle hits the turntable and spin's me round again.

Objectifying paranormalising
Scaring the feelings away.

Tell me what the instruments say
Tell me what the probes feel.

Let's go round again.
It will always be there the second time.
Let's make rounds again,
One more time.

Shitty ditty do-dah time
Maniacal Escape Aug 2021
When you wake up in the pits
And you remember, life is ****
It's a ****** ditty do-dah time for you.

And when you clamber out the pit,
And you really smell that ****
It's a ****** ditty do-dah time for you.

Looking back down at the pit
Thinking down there was the ****
It's always a ****** ditty do-dah time for you.

Pillar
Maniacal Escape Aug 2023
Now when I think of
My mother dear
That she can be
So full of cheer
Though she knows
Her life ends near
That she can be so
Full of cheer.
She coughs her lung's up
A mucal smear
She ***** her **** out
The end is near
But all my my mother knows
This simple thing
She lives her life
With all she holds dear.

The kings feast
Maniacal Escape Apr 2023
Hungry are the hands that claw out the brain,
In a fit of absent envy for the thrill of yesterday,
Slickened in blood and wine as it congeals around the mouth,
It pours into the toilet, a buffet consumed, destroyed.
158 · Feb 2022
Chillin
Maniacal Escape Feb 2022
Hands around your throat
Side by side
Watching the sun go down

A moment of clarity
Maniacal Escape Jan 2021
So. I look like a massive *******.
When all is do is self deprived nonessential cuntish behaviour.
Those outside can see with clarity.
What's happening to me.
But on the inside those outdoor eyes are always so unfriendly and hostile and, just, well, ******* nosey.
158 · Oct 2020
Meanwhile, elsewhere...
Maniacal Escape Oct 2020
I crawl to bed , a silent dream to a melodies' prayer,
off I whisper, my begging, to clouds.
and you know the sound of sin.
happy he is, the fruitful snake,
the life that terminates at a humans gaze.
soundless sarin. gaseous respiration
out of necessity at the manufactured devil as he smiles
his job is complete
he always gets his mark,
if you believe.
its always hands that strangle the throat.
Maniacal Escape Sep 2023
My best friend moved in with me today.
His life fell apart,
Shattered to nothing,
And so now, he lives here
With me.

I should be happy.

The Monster bath.
Maniacal Escape May 2023
Crying into the bath
It soaks its sponge.
The pink lather writhes in its fingers.

Bleeding from the wrists
It dabs tentatively.
The sponge adds red to pink

It soaks the sponge again,
In the vat of redder bubbles.
The copper scent claws up its nose.

Its arms loose grip
Of the cleansing sponge
Its mind fades red to black.
156 · Aug 2020
Obviously oblivious
Maniacal Escape Aug 2020
Crushing reality.
Crashing around.
Lightning blinds the sky.

Trivial toad
In your pond.
Lily pad layabout.
Ignorance it would seem is indeed bliss.

Maniacal Escape Mar 2022
Bonfire shower,
Scrub the life away,

Burning bridges light my way.

Nightime shoreline stroll.
Maniacal Escape Aug 2023
The sea drinks at the shore,
Moon in hand, the waves dance.
A slow silent samba.
Lazily. Shyly stealing sips.
Black and endless.
Timidly swallowing the world whole.
Maniacal Escape Aug 2023
The wedding bells struck
As lady Veronica marched down the aisle.
Her gay boyfriend stood still in his shoes.

'my love?' He asked tentatively.
'you're doing just fine' she smiled.

She laid her hand on his chest.
Togetherness in all.

'my love.'  he replied.


Veronica drew up her dress as if a sword.

'We are to be wedded priest. Make it happen'.

Or do you hide behind that white nose smile?

You'd never say.
All I know is,
It's a white day. A good day.
For you and for me.

Pantomime.
Maniacal Escape Jul 2022
Falsetto feelers,
The audience is deaf.
Crescendo seekers,
Tone ******* deaf.

Mind your own business,
Screams out the crowd,
The deafness is deafening.
The artist now bows.

I know you,
You know me.
Who knows who?
Knows me and thee?

You know them,
Do they know us?
How do we know?
What they say about us?

I know they say
They know us well.
Do they really know?
The lies I can tell?

Empty home
Maniacal Escape Aug 2022
Calling from our home,
Ghosts are spooking over,
Hands holding the cold.
Our exorcist gazebo.

Strawberries and cream,
Mouth is chewing toenails.
Bucket full of smoke.
Smoke alarms enabled.

Disaster will unfold,
Loneliness without me.
Calling you from home,
Calling home without me.

It hates me to.
Forlorn hope for?

I hate it all.
Hatred haywired.
Call me a cyborg.
But truth hurts aswell.

I'm helping you. You're helping me
It's a crackhead two way *******.
Scratching out the pit we loom over.

As deep as our retribution arc unravels.
See you on the other side fellow acolyte.
Studiously staring into the abyss.

Laity massed around.
Sip. Sip. Drip. Drip.
Pray the sun doesn't rise tomorrow.
