Are you ever so full of it
That you need to flush
Halfway through a dump?
That's where we are with Trump.
Two more years of BS.

There's a darkness tempting you,
I stood still, thinking why
You'd be gone so soon.
I collected my things, my cap and mac,
And you said, Don't go just yet.

Go where?

You slapped your ruby gloves
Against your outstretched palm;
You turned that look of regret;
Then was heard what we knew was absurd:
Please, don't go just yet.

The one truth in this life
Is that matter of fact
One of these days
You're gonna die
So just
Live

another door closed
another community mourns
a macabre picture on a frame
for a tear stained love to find
once crafted by his own hand
not twelve months since
now a final resting place
marked by a note in steady pen
and why should it take
an angel of the epihany
to deliver a man in a plastic bag
to teach us of cbt
of an emotional intelligence
to be mindful of ourselves
while church, state, school fails
this country's young men
for generations and on
the silence does creep
so many futures in the past
too many paths closing so fast
there are so many questions
that sustain this male disease
silence never speaks in answers
or hears society's griefful pleas
today in another village
tommorow yet another town
a young man fits an attic joist
with silent eyes so cold
for jesus he was a carpenter
or so at least we're told
death by suicide continues to a nightmare visited on so many towns and villages of rural Ireland for generations and on with next to no supports of state ever prioritised to tackle this disease of predominately young men

Keep your secrets
As long as you can
Keep your secrets
From your best friends...

Keep your *****
In the dark
Out of sight
That's if your smart!

No reason to lie
No reason to tell
Keep your secrets
It's your own Hell!
Traveler Tim

Spider webs
These weren't the walls
Before the fly
Sticking to my wings
Playing those strings
Of hungry
Sinking into fangs
I tried not to shriek
As you kept wrapping me
With your arms
Not in your arms
Battling your army
Caught me by wing
Sticking to your web
Spinning me
**** my ******* blood
Take everything
I knew I was your meal
To eat
You spun your web
And caught my wing
Before the fly

I lit a fire
In the nights iris

And upon a star
I cast a thought

I
wished

It burned in the flames
Of the atomspheric change
While the temperature rained
My sweat

Into the ashes
My dust to dust went

For my oxygen lost the wind
As I melted in flesh

I lit the fire
But it was my desire
That conspired
With my lust

Witch tempted me
To jump in
Gasoline
And burn what I was
