The sidewalk hums a song

As street lamps buzz and whirr me on

Tapping me in to play along

Though the band is long since gone

With only my echo to slightly encourage

I belt a chorus and silly little verses

Reaching a bridge as I come to the bridge

Another song spawns as this one surges

Playing out the melody that I now tread

A thought never crosses to go to bed

Untill another song starts t...

Caress my mind and treat it softly

Mend my thoughts ever tender still

Steeped in sensations often costly

Cradle them as a babe if you will

Kiss my lips with full surrender

Callous hearts are made anew

Hoping to capture or remember

A lasting sense or residue

Branded with a love I’ve broken

Brandy sweetens the cards I’m dealt

Crass are my words unspoken

I’m quite entitled to what I’ve fe...

All that glitters is not gold

Midas sparingly slits his wrists

The prophecy soon to be foretold

An age of bronze achingly persists

Doctors frantically rush to his aid

Maids begin reaching the next of kin

Relatives come to enact their charade

The feast of wolves is ready to begin

Treachery abounds as the master is tended

Serving interests that are wholly their own

Machinations sewn and knees ...

When joy scrapes onto my face

And epiphanies are all I taste

Why can’t I preach it for everyone’s sake?

When my heart drowns in fright

And I’m blinded by the night

Why is it dimmer when she shines her light?

When I give my loving affection

And she won’t run my direction

Why does she limp with a lasting affliction?

When our story’s started the same

And she claims to be insane

Why can’t I...

When blood splatters on canvas

And melancholy stains my skin

I slowly feel the Madness

Of unatonable sin

Tearing through our distress

Ignoring what they tell me

problems willfully unaddressed

Filleting my flesh as a remedy

When my blood runs cold

And complexion sits pale

Would my memory grow mold ?

Would thoughts of me grow stale?

Can fragments once again join?

Are they simply too maul...

Will you give in to your wrath ?

Do your eyes project hatred ?

To Destroy anyone obstructing your path ?

Sin only acknowledged with intentions naked

You seldom show any victims mercy

Maidens simply more morsels ingested

Women whimper after you’ve been surly

bruised daughters and innocence infected

Deceptively plain exterior makes you seem cordial

Demons lay their perversion with a single...

I’ve viewed my life through a rose tinted lens

Rewinding my favorite roles in this movie I’ve led

The alley lights flicker in their rhythmic trends

Frequent scenes in the street instead of in bed

A match is then stricken as the smoke starts to billow

Illusions played out onto clouds I’ve projected

She beckons from her staircase to come to her pillow

Morality plays turn out just like I’d have...

Temptation’s calling ,is often mauling

Soothing whispers are spoken to me

waters churning ,keep ships turning

Sultrier still I’m beckoned at sea

Intense labor ,crossing glaciers

I’ve become deaf to the taste

Hauled by chains and tainted remains

Trenched to twilight,Anchored in place...

A bell chimes in the distance as a hot tray made its way upon a shelf amongst a myriad of other platters. All the food had a corresponding number,letter and color sitting next to it waiting to be served and eaten.

“Are you sure this place is up to regulation?” I whined.

Trevor snarled back “You always hate on my suggestions whenever we’re in port”.

He began to hiss his teeth as he smiled mena...

A very merry unbirthday

When lost is found

And square is round

I simply couldn’t make a sound

with all the things I’m saying

A very merry unbirthday

To you and me

and every living being

Let's all celebrate with another cup of tea

To share with mice,and hare and bird and bat

A very merry unbirthday

Simply seeing can keep you from knowing

Of cabbages and kings

If you don’t know where you’r...
