 if the eyes are the gatekeepers of the soul

they make for a sorry state of affairs

too transparent and tight lipped,

a treasure afloat that starve with reckless abandon

the heartbeat a raceless faceless laceless puppy

adorable at times but fundamentally an idiot

energetic, fueled by instinct alone and a stubborn beggar

pride cannot contest charity, it is a slow drip carved within

get out of my head I beg but rest assure the scars I mark myself.


the pot of gold is foolproof and I take issue

okay, maybe, you have taken the best of me

stripped of my dignity, disengaged and disenchanted

Life's script, tales, twists and spin-offs (a riddle)

my palms are peeling and somehow that makes me less lonely


sandbagging instead of developing better happier habits

feeding an hallow mood, picking crumps for a dream coma

feeling heavier despite good company for a change

 the sand clock stood no ground against the moon tide

a couch made of stone would have prevailed

the soul pull is remorseless, look at the carnage ahead

in a land where those willing do not fight for themselves

laboring away, slaves of a currency that poisons the land

they die but not to be confused with a sacrifice worth of prose

humanity greatest achievement is mercy, compassion and love

feeble suffocating weighted decisions that poison indisposed character 

the divine dice at birth came short and so bastards must act evil

I cannot believe it: I bite my tongue in anger and bleed

fathers past, some have it tough indeed, to throw the towel? be dammed

probable cause, just in the eye of faith behold and truth be told

I grow impatient of stomping the ground, powerless to connect

the blessed water cannot contain the taint of self-doubt

the poisonous chant is corrupted, the tune stuck on repeat

no guilty man ever confessed to a crime saved the objection being he is sick

egotistic and vain, toxic in both pulse and décor towards life (including his own)

why must gore and horror entice the mind, some fear the depths whilst others obsess


a rather bad romance, an enticing masquerade telling tall tales of wants and sacrifice (PS: everyone dies in the end for dramatic effect)

a lessons learnt in the hallways of visions, flashes and bloodbaths of what had to be (hostile hospitality)


must we do as we are shown? to decay in disarray as the gods watch over us in masturbatory curiosity

to ever rebel child a whip to which the vessel of pain can transmutation doubt into bought respect

to conceal sentiment trapped in a grin that cages the understanding that the scar is a viper,

it's sting an ache that vodka cannot quell, no reversal to downplay my misguided direction 

to take blood binds for granted in a fabricated bed story, such a shame to contemplate your tombstone   

we both now share bed sores in the undertow as the ocean past pursues forward without purpose

"Where to now? What happened to my fucking purpose? I am just a stone sinking Broken and numb Where to now? The way you made me, made me worthless Truth is in the end we all end up alone"
