Footsteps echo
in trodden paths
Somber replies,
cold hearts.

Still,
you steady
your course,
my boy, Oye.

Gutless backstabs
leave no wounds
don’t bleed forever.
Heal,
my boy, Oye.

Ashes of fathers,
promises to keep.
If you fall
always,
rise up,
my boy, Oye.

Misty haze floats across
My brown eyes to black
A flurry of melancholy
Begun as a pleasant reverie
Then the dark shadows
Crept way on in

Sun kissed days
Picnic baskets
Strawberries and cream
All crushed to #ash
All berries now taste sour
No longer are you mine

My heart still beats
to rhythms deep
real friends I’ve kept
the roots that sleep

crushing
crashing
dreams outstretched
forever clashing
waiting for a pass

Through fate’s
deep mire
I navigate
still chasing high
some distant gate
that elusive arête
that unmet date

The new moon sighs
Where’s the wisdom
Once, apricity reigned the skies

I think this
From my abode below
Haunting mausoleum

#Clash I, with celestial spells
Tainted desires savage
Fighting like a dark lord titan

Summer a myth
Wisdom sighs content
Within darkness

The Silence of a Stone

endures grit
the hush of worry and concern
Its rest is contingent on nothing
dismissed and forsaken
yet it will not seek
nor forget
nor blunder
it simply endures
unmoved in its quiet truth

I've never seen the moon exert its power this way before. Beyond the tides, its pull invades realms deep within our souls, attempting to draw out the unknowable evil it assumes is plaguing us.

Artwork of cracked face glaring up, moonlight tinting it.

"They fomented a great divide, instigated hostilities, and having no dignity, they showed no dignity towards others, causing riots, then they yell riots, riots, riots to send in the troops. It's despicable."

My nose
Starts to wrinkle
Cuz I think
I smell a rat

Know why my
#Associate
Don’t seem
To have my back…

Oft I’ve thrown him
Neath a bus
His back
Tattooed with tracks

Guess this is
His payback
For the loyalty
I lacked

Dis gone be
A rough ride
If my little
Lackey scats…

I am exhausted.
My mind is full
Of things I wish I'd told you -
Feelings, desires
Wishes, dreams,
A desperate need to hold you.

Why am I so fucking weak?
I should be letting go.
Instead I'm holding on
And hoping that you know

I love you.

Here's my effort

#vss365
London Crawling

London crawls
eats me raw,
spits back
clash-stains, vowel-bites.

History’s zipper
stuck halfway.
notional anthems
rewritten on the skin
of petty vacant revolutionaries
who graffiti
“I Was There Too”
on post-fact
walls.

But
none
of it was true.

I've never seen the moon the same way after loving you. I often wonder which of us is the moon and who is the sun - whose love is stronger? My conclusion may #clash with the scientific view. I think both of us are the moon, reflecting one another's glow.

You pulled the
heart from me
like excalibur
from the #stone.
I hope
you are worthy
of the #power
bestowed,
ensuring it's
not #abused.
Since, I can be
as the Lady of
the Lake,
clothed in
#ribbon & silk,
come to claim
it back.

we associate with masks

first came big-bang
life sparked dirt
one cell, no skirt

then came two
grapes & shrooms
beat it to #pulp
gulped the truth

some rubbed leaves
prayed to Juana
hellucinate!
mind went loop

supa whoop

Seductive fingers
trace my skin,
as darkness
seals my lips with hush.
My heart stalls
caught in the quiet pull
of unseen warmth.

The #elastic softness
of the night slips in,
silent and slow,
swallowing thought,
as if it had always known
I would come undone.

"In my dream it was a bit of a blur, but then I walked into an #oasis with women... all dressed in beautiful lingerie," Bob mused after waking up. "Really, and did they like your Y-fronts?" Nora replied, while she watched him yawn and scratch himself.
