In the eye of Shai’tan

My minor misdemeanor is

As devoid of the embrace as

Counting the raindrops

Not falling – on my cheeks

In the eye of Shai’tan

Your minor mindemeanor is

As obvious as

1

2

3

I’m not counting

There is no need

RUN

I did a runner

Left them all behind

I did a runner

No apology to be found

I did a runner

Icicles waving

Unshaven faces

Trembling legs of

Precipitation

Frowning

Light Stalking

Light stalking; balaclava covering his

face – the filthy whore no longer

begging for

more… Solitude, silence,

screaming whore

Doctor’s order; slowly, slow, low

Left at the altar

She never forgave

The fcuking whore

stalked

no more

The realisation that sleep can be an adaptive process made him confident enough to relinquish the decision as to when to sleep to the body rather than the mind. He would stay awake until the body shut down by its own device. No harness required, most likely

The Explicit Insights of a Tormented Soul (via circle-no-10)

bull’s eye

I shall f*ck you sideways
like the tears of infinity
slowly dripping down those cheeks
I shall f*ck you sideways
In the forest of old
Shivering cold and bleeding
I shall f*ck you sideways
with every part of me focused
your shakes and shiverings
my primary
target

Being Me

Once again I feel I am reaching the edge of

Being

The urge to remove myself; delete any trace of

Me

So strong

Uncaring for all that is

I am salt

I am bleeding

I am fed up of

Being Me

arch bishop of truth

I no longer care 

the cigarettes killing me

the hole in the ground; accidental

the revelation of coffins

arch bishop remains; aging

they once were –  I am now – though not for long

unfortunately

we will meet eventually

without nicotine

coffins ahugging

the crown dull 

shaking

cinder girl / our destiny

cinder girl – the lack of tinder

those horse shoes never embraced your wickedness 

my fire never matched her solitude of silence 

the see-through bra a size too small for comforting

I saw it not coming, no

She only became a woman coming, though

we never merged our lifetime of opportunity

we only prayed – the next time 

we’d manage better – our destiny
