as it shivers now in pain 
   
   I will try one more time to fall asleep I must try 
   For I am alone, so I thought, must be the birds that’s why 
   I convince myself its so, and I close my eyes slow 
   But that knock comes even louder as it did before 
   
   Again no one in sight not even the birds 
   I look around and I am now truly alone with my words 
   It must be a demon coming to claim what is hers 
   That my soul is her prize taking me back to disperse 
   
   I will not go without a fight I promise you that 
   I will not give up my soul for your relentless tact 
   If I must I will cut my own throat before I fall 
   To your spell I won’t dwell I will no longer be appalled 
   
   
   The knocking grows so loud it deafens me yet 
   She is coming; the soul of lifeless demeanor is spent 
   I made up my mind I will not let her take me alive 
   I will do what is best and decease my own life 
   
   As I take my humble blade, and cut into skin 
   I feel my soul escape low and laugh out loud with no grin 
   I am free no more knock; for I know she is here 
   To take my soul from my desperate loving care 
   
   That is it I did the deed, but where did she go? 
   I have not seen her come let alone stare into my vacant body’s tear 
   Why does she not take a look before she disappears? 
   But I still hear that knock of effortless jeer 
   
   As I fly around my ship trying to locate the ghost 
   I hear the knock coming up loud as I seem to approach 
   There it is I can hear it clear she must be inside 
   As I open the door my spirit turns white without pride 
   
   There it stood, a clock that was given to me 
   By my daughter to fear off the spirits of evil deed 
   It lay on its side with the hands moving constantly 
   Against the table of my choice it was "knocking" at me 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   The carrion and the vulture 
   
   
   The news was brief so take a breath 
   My "be aware" vision peered its head tonight 
   Poetry died a tired lonely death 
   And those damn poets caused the death of might 
   The carrion of poetry lay still with blood of ink 
   After years of neglect it finally gave in 
   As the "poets" unite to slay the beast 
   The "poets" unite to set it to sleep 
   Together they committed suicide 
   Together now turn to genocide 
   For "poets" forgot to feed its soul 
   Now the carrion of poetry lies down low 
   A bird of prey sits on a perch 
   The bird of prey from poetry’s church 
   Now cleans her head of former blood 
   As she looks down to see the "poets" flood 
   She sees them cry so desperately 
   Sobbing their ink of insecurity 
   She perches high to see the show 
   Of silly poets who killed their own 
   She elongates her wings to free 
   As they have been waiting constantly 
   For moments like this are natures call 
   For moments like this bare souls to all 
   Her claws of might clutch to the sky 
   Grab a hold the tears of Gods cry 
   For HE created man to see 
   The death of them self from poetry 
   The vulture soaring high in awe 
   Creates her spine to prepare the fall 
   As though a bullet from the gun of HIS hand 
   She flies down to the Carrion of grand 
   The poets now flee as she sets sight 
   They run and scatter from her diving bite 
   She sees the weak and focuses in 
   Her beak enters first, on the "poets" with sin 
   The "poets" rely on her constant cry 
   For help from above as more come to fly 
   One after one they enter the chest 
   Of poetry’s carrion they indulge in the best 
   The ink from the soul of poetry bleed through 
   On the face of her cleaner as she stares at you 
   With those eyes so black they could eat the light 
   From the page and the sage of your poetry’s dear fright 
   As she sees her baits killer staring in awe 
   She realizes her job is not done at all 
   The "poets" she admires with her beak draped in blood 
   Are the fools that allowed this to happen with no judge? 
   She removes her beak and sees herself 
   In the reflection cast upon the "poets" true shelf 
   It is her that she sees as her eyes focus in 
   Convergent Evolution is the answer from HIM 
   As she raises her wings high and lifts her soul 
   She is now "poetry" as she did engulf 
   The thoughts of man as she fly’s away 
   She does carry them high from the "poets" true play 
   "You are now scavengers like I was once" 
   She replies to the fools on the ground in dunce 
   "You will now kill yourself for the one is in me" 
   True scavenger are yourself as you peck each other’s feet 
   "Poets" I laugh for you killed your own 
   "Poets" I cry for the future in a drone 
   "Poets" I am angry for there will be no more 
   "Poets" kill yourself and your carrion will be slow 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   The motherless child 
   
   
   Whispers in your ear you fear 
   The child with no mother is near 
   As she promotes her soul within 
   To see you lifeless cunning grin 
   The warped faze and constant glaze 
   Undress your body with ever rage 
   As she smells fear from near your maze 
   Your mind at ease is restless peace 
   The clock strikes 12 tic toc heart stopped 
   She warms you up as her baby soft touch 
   Enters your cloned state of mind 
   From the cloned state of time 
   When things where in rhyme 
   Of a perfect loves chime 
   Ticking away the clock strikes 1 
   The motherless daughter shows you her fun 
   And see where it leads as she shows you who won 
   And see her heart bleed as her mother did once 
   The clock strikes 2 she reloads the gun 
   Points it at you as she smiles you hear the drum 
   Her heart beats loud keeping tune in her womb 
   As the trigger from her lonely motherless gun 
   Come to halt as the clock strikes back towards 1 
   She sees you again as you where back in time 
   Back in time when her mom was around showing prime 
   Back in time when she smiled at others with a crime 
   Back in time as she 
feels her heart stop in rhyme 
   Tick tock the gun pulled her shock 
   Back to time it did her 
   As the motherless deter 
   Bring your pain 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Cold sweats 
   
   
   The shakes are flowing 
   The coldness in my veins 
   Tremoring as if melting 
   For my blood of ice will stain 
   I count the seconds 
   They feel like eternity 
   I lose track of time 
   As my mind is distant with envy 
   Why can’t this phase be over? 
   I guess its part of therapy 
   My forehead is beading 
   It’s very very freezing 
   It must be for I shake 
   My body is missing an ingredient 
   Evolutions I do hate 
   For it’s the reason I feel death surround me 
   Will this constant cold sweat disappear? 
   If it doesn’t I can’t go on 
   I will fight my lonely tear 
   As least that is warm from ever fear 
   Thank you pain I feel you again 
   I know that I am here for real 
   My shivers will go before my life is stained 
   And these resolutions of cold sweat contained 
   Will be my demise as I must refrain 
   From the evil being within my pain 
   
   The pumpkin queen 
   
   
   Extended bones of skinless hands 
   Reach out with tones of groaning man 
   They pull her out with growing fears 
   But she is different than her peers 
   The pumpkin queen with heart of seed 
   Makes skinless hands grow heavy with bleed 
   She dies unto our soul content 
   To smile no more as we descend 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   the white line of co-pain 
   
   
   To be or not to be, shut the hell up and join me 
   Ponder this, while you blow bubbles in your milkshake 
   Those bubbles you are blowing 
   Have more life than the good book states 
   So much for the Earth being flat 
   So much for the revolution, of the Suns track 
   You finally found a way to fly 
   With the use of drugs, so lay your dust on a plaque 
   Snort a line and wave to God, as you pass by 
   And when you see, the power of illusions have on thee 
   You wish hard, and pray to Donald Duck, "Let me in Toon Town please" 
   But soon you realize that comic characters are your friends 
   Offering you drugs, rock and roll, and the divine intervention 
   So sniff hard, take your mind elsewhere and escape, you hooded coward 
   Can’t stand to face life, so you get high with your nose powdered 
   When you return, take a look, at your family weeping so softly 
   Hunching over your grave, you dumbfuck you just o.deed. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   The ease of her mind 
   
   
   The ease of her mind 
   Presently in decline 
   As she knows we follow her move 
   She can feel your shame 
   As she heeds your pain 
   While her ghost of past sails through 
   She can play this
