the job was left undone

I would be remiss to ommit

the stars allocated at the start

tall tales from error to embrace

household memories cherished

in time of need ember to fuel detail

in  the path untouched ahead.

to kisses and warm words we rush

heaven must be composed of gifts

shifting sand that defeats war and brings peace

to the safety of shore:

I would dare imagine this is the easy bit

once beneath the salute we must act

kindness can smoother and change

a poison chalice develops resistance

should one survive the ordeal or be donzo.

the fear of mortal recoil drags suspicion

static these secret

a poison to the eyes

of those that wander

ever lost in darkness

desolute this house we abandoned

revolution, vibration, meant to strike true

failed all together, a repulsing drug addict knows too misery

irregardless of weight the sand runs course to the skin still

drugs haze, sun blade become the mercy:

ultimately, love grants peace of mind

for it rings true, bar exile blessed be

home takes root and the forest can be burned to a crisp

just as swiftly as grudge can petrify once dopamine runs dry

at night the monster explores, crawling under my skin

sanity a freedom ever repulsing, lingering on the reflection in the mirror

the creature locks stares and it compels my bloody knucles into a pulp

flashes of past, reality overcamed, overwhelming:

visions that bother sleep, steal precious clarity in time of need

we falter, we fall

those hungry may double down and choke on the mere opportunity

buried outside where it is cold.

killer phenomena occur once the crocodile tears get you no results,

the struggle tilts sideways, rage a flame

sin a darkness pitch black, absolute. 

ride the wave inner child,

new highs can surely only occur by bold risk

falling backwards warrants a risk that hands cannot placate

by all means Do dive in.
