Days go by at the speed of life Tick after tick I feel the slow knife One more wrinkle upon my face One more reminder of my fleeting place I started out stronger than the fire of hell But not long after began the toll of the bell The spirit leads and the flesh shouldContinue reading “Built to last”

I watched Death
I watched Death work tonight The victim’s eyes lost their light Have you ever witnessed anything so mysterious as this There’s a finality and quiet as one slips into deathly bliss “Don’t use your teeth when you bite me, please” I said as the fangs ripped through me with ease I wriggled and writhed toContinue reading “I watched Death”
Twilight’s Last Gleaming
It’s all poetry after all We saw the rise We saw the fall Come to me amidst fiery skies Choke back the smoke Killing one another over lies We never cared about fallout Only winning Cast away all doubt What is this travesty we’ve become? Left with two paths One, murder and the other, martyrdomContinue reading “Twilight’s Last Gleaming”
Black angel Black angel
Black angel Black angel We come in two’s Just to abuse See the imago Dei Watch it fade We hunt in pairs Setting snares Black angel Black angel Can you not see? Forests before thee? Life will outlast you, dear Death conquers with its leer Speck of dust are you Here and gone in justContinue reading “Black angel Black angel”
The World’s Changing
Look up to the sky Cause tonight we gotta die and I held your hand in the summer rain Kept you warm in the winter pain but It doesn’t matter in the end On our own we must forever fend so I fell in love in the glow of 1980’s neon light As times changedContinue reading “The World’s Changing”

Swallow the Horizon
All of humanity begins and ends feeling only desire We want for food, shelter, water, crawling in the mire We grope in endless black clinging to each other Hoping for comfort only when not killing one another Some refuse the abyss in favor of hard upward ascent While others disbelieving in peaks elect for eternalContinue reading “Swallow the Horizon”
Dead On Arrival
I smiled as my blood poured out of me The wounds gushing forth life effortlessly The priest frantically sewing me together Neverminding my body now light as a feather My soul slowly leaving as the light of my eyes dies I found the death’s truths easier to bear than life’s lies So I gave upContinue reading “Dead On Arrival”
Suicide
So what’s left to say? In the end if I hate less and love more I think I’ll be okay I made the wounds in my wrists so deep I watched the crimson rivers begin to seep My memories flooded like the blood Triumphs and failures clear as mud Ever since I was a boyContinue reading “Suicide”
