anotherdream
Writing down words,
Left from deception,
Finding no worth,
From lack of connection.

Finding my sight,
But losing my strength,
Feeling its bite,
Breathing its hate.

Pain is still there,
It never deceases,
Leaving me bare,
Always to feed it.

Some use their swords,
To fight their own battles.
I build my fort,
Riding life’s saddle.

My mind’s a warzone,
I’m constantly fighting,
Not trying to own,
I’ve lost my own sighting.

Pain finds its way,
Down to my bone,
It screams out my fate,
But never will show.
I started writing this in class because I was so troubled by my own imaginary deception.

The sea looks bright today
The sun keeps on shining
The world is still revolving
Yet
The hand of my clock
Seems to be not working.
What are these emotions?
Flooding towards uncertainties
Giving clues to every traveller behind.
I think I stopped,
I stopped my own time
Not letting the world know.
Yet
The sea still looks bright
But now the gloom of the moon
Gives its shine.

Conflict
 Feb 2018 Lot

My neck noosed
My legs loosed
I witness the tragic
It seems so emphatic
I feel entropy
Enter me
Centering
Around love and pain
I wear gloves of shame
Toxicity taints touch
My reaction is to cautiously recoil
For I feel a great punch
When I expect them to be loyal
A tear rolls down my cheek
Navigating scars
Like a man who is meek
Navigating bars
It starts and stops
Then keeps going
The tears drop
From what I'm knowing
That my time is evaporating
Dealing with the exasperating

I feel I can be caring
I just need the chance
We'll see how I'm fairing
On the end of your lance
Penetrating deeply
The pain is unceasing
Like a thousand bee stings
While you stand there feasting
Making me feel alive
From the pain inside

I guess things could always be worse
Sometimes that feels like a curse
Because I have problems all the same
But it's true
The sum of our troubles equal this game
That we lose
Even though I'd rather deal with *** and silence
Than to be vexed by violence
They're all just ways of imposing our will
Whether it's through who we birth or ****
Conflict is how we get our fill
Every day a different fire drill
We hate each other
We date each other
We underrate each other
To deflate each other
Pain is used as a tool
Until blood lays in a pool

These things that annoy us
Are met by avoidance
These things compound
Until I can't be unwound
I live in a world of contending intentions
It's a world of our own selfish invention
A world that burns bright
So I can't sleep
When day turns to night
I hear death creep
Seeking to take me from a life I never asked for
But I'm grateful to have
Life is about experimenting with opening doors
And I'm stuck in the lab

I...
I hide my light
In a cloak so tight
beneath the black and white
scarf
the diamond in my heart
locked deep within
to let it go?
to let it show?
and all the TVs read
for the whole world to see
"A monster."

I fall apart
apparently
Yes it was me
"A monster."

I hide my pain
inside lyric
its as if the notes I sing
set me free
I keep my love
under lock and key
I'm so afraid it will go,
go away from me
"A monster."

and all of me
is not enough for this I sing
They call me a monster
a freak of light
for I do not lie
for I only sing
A monster
in pain I hold myself
so tight
alone
I breath

Cataclysm

The Noose
Bodies on the floor

                   strewn.....

Like vermilion

                    martyred roses

The ****** handprints

                         On the wall

Could pass for contemporary art

It was a colourful cataclysm

                                   In red.

Mystic Night
 Feb 2018 Lot

the sun goes down
as the moon comes up.

the children sleep
as the critters creep.

the river flows
while the ocean glows.

its a peaceful night in
the town.

every one is sleeping
peacefully into the
night.

while the wolves roam
free in the mystic shadows.

a baby cries in the
night.

the wolves search
for the cry of the child.

the baby stops as the
wolves appear.

the leader sniffs than
picks her up to carry her
to the family of no child.

they scatter as the
sun rises.

the child cries out
for love.

when out of no where
the doors opens.

the baby is taken
into the warmth of
a mother and is at
ease.

as the town sings
the baby closes her
eyes,

and drifts into a
warm peaceful
dream,

with her guardian
angels of the
mystic night.
