You

Posted on 06/19/202506/19/2025 by admin

The stars eclipse with sombre lightcompared to your dazzling charm.Nothing could outshine that bright,or captivate my beating heart.An absolute truth, a subtle balmholding you close, arms entwined.Negating all emotional harmsStilling the vortex of the mind.As night follows day in rapturous timelove breathes deep into our soulsI gaze into your eyes to findthe stories of romance…

Love

Posted on 06/18/202506/19/2025 by admin

No artifice could ever make so pure,hearts entwined in a rapturous grace.Light, loving, forever dancingevocative rhythm carries the tunefilling the clouds, lifting to the sky,echoes across the land our love to behold. Those who turn their heads to beholdsee we have been touched by Eros’ grace,arrows sent over the hazy clouded skyfilled with a purity…

Heatwave

Posted on 06/18/202506/18/2025 by admin

Heat perpetuates it somnambulant tonesDrawing all to yawn and yellAgainst the day bleaching our bones. Temperature spikes as climate tellsDissuading those that understandThat the heat will rise in our new hell. Drilling more fossil fuel as plannedPlunging the realm into a fiery heartMelting ice caps, turning earth to sand. The planet lounging in inferno starkProfits…

cPTSD

Posted on 06/11/202506/11/2025 by admin

Sanity scrapes in soldered formsFetal positioned, the floor adorns.Depression bleeding from a battered mindPoisoned by anxiety laying there entwined.Mewling at life mistreated againDosed up on more cerebral pain.Self inflicted gray dysmorphiaIn hell, a solitary sightseer.But still not able to leave the floorAnchored as if wanting more.Addicted to all these dark dismal thoughtsTrap of my own…

Immaturity

Posted on 06/11/202506/11/2025 by admin

You were a wankTill your mother got in the way.And you smell of poo and weeIn a bucket of sick, on a hot day You’re a vaginal scrapeA manky clogged dripping cervixSomething green and oozingWhich is your “go to” flex. Funnily enough you remind me ofA septic syphilitic cockWeeping sores adorned but becauseOf the diseases…

Skin deep

Posted on 06/10/2025 by admin

Don’t judge me for the skin I wearI’m human not some other thingI have thoughts, feelings ready to shareA culmination of living and breathingWhich has you positively seething.I guess that makes the racists cryTo hope another person dies. You burn an effigy or a flagI’m seen as something lower than slimeFrom my home you’d like…

I’m nothing really

Posted on 06/10/2025 by admin

I’m nothing reallyJust that waste of spaceThat small solitary speckA faecal spot around the place. I’m nothing reallyNot worth any time spentThe culmination of uselessnessA plot to circumvent. I’m nothing reallyJust a shadow in the darkHidden away, left behindLike a badly painted art. I’m nothing reallyThat often broken cogRejected from the machineLost in the thickened…

Positive Vibes

Posted on 06/09/202506/09/2025 by admin

Fuck off with your positive vibesGo stick them up them up your arseI’m not interested in smilingSo I think I’ll take a pass. You’re still keep mouthing offFor me to put on a happy faceBut I’m plotting your fucking downfallTo see your fall from grace. That’s when I’ll accept being positiveIt’s nothing that can be…

Not broken

Posted on 06/08/202506/08/2025 by admin

I’m not broken,Just slightly usedA worn out bagA man confused. I’m not brokenNot exactly crapJust someone who worriesabout being a sad chap. I’m not brokenYou can see from my smileIts not really a facadeSomething I’m trying to style. I’m not brokenI’m functioning at bestNo longer tied to other harmsOf which I can attest. I’m not…

The speaker

Posted on 06/07/202506/07/2025 by admin

The speaker spoke in a guttural cryScreeching against the dayDooming us all to lay down and die. We all uttered a final sighNothing for us left to sayThe speaker spoke in a guttural cry. Trembling, our fates cast and chideUnholy it takes us down one wayDooming us all to lay down and die. No longer…
