Truth,
Do not quoth love & hate
For,
They are spoken too often.
...

This ancient opaque Palace
Walls running red
Of regret & malice
As blood..
...

Death,
Follow the leader,
Wisdom bleek,
Name thy deity,
...

Can you speak to your soul?

Am I alone?
...

Tribal Phoenix's
Shake their spears,
Empowering weaknesses
Shunning hate & fear
...

We've bled out the clocks
Can't run,
When butterflies stop
Father Time was a son.
...

I ain't sleepin' baby..


The light just stings my eyes
...

Two things proven right
Together,
May not be true.
Let me remind you..
...

Angel in my head?
Not a halo.
Demon's caress the dead
Far..from fatal.
...

If my soul made a noise..
It'd scream for release, depart..

Yet, sound like a Muzzle.
Porcelain hearts, broken apart
...

Death,
named Miss Understood
Married Life,
in the Coffin's rosewood.
...

Rogues & Pharaoh
Interlope & toast.
Drinking to living dead Deity
Everlasting, loving, luscious hope..
...

The sun beats down
With a tribal sound
Onto Love's bloody battlefield,
The Knight of Chivalry,
...

Opaque oasis,
A small pond
& Oak Tree.
...

I stared through her eyes,
Tears fell from her cheek
Under the bridge above the creek
Downstream to collide with tides
...

One last caress
Expand my chest
Breathe out the rest
Spit blood from these lungs
...

Can't see everything that you breed,
Only believe,
In the color that you bleed,
What you inhale,
...

HEY!
There's a door,
Angels crying
No wings to fly in.
...
