In an earlier incarnation, Hayden Veil enjoyed a successful career in software engineering, writing late-night poetry in pursuit of sanity. On 2 February 2020, the world of Hayden Veil changed: Ghosts became real and with its soul laid bare there was no turning back from the perpetual path of poetry.

I AM KING

I am king

ruler

my voice is

law

my slaughtering

innocence

your scars

bleed truth

I am king

ruler

my voice is

low

my slaughtering

impervious

to

your dying

thoughts

I die

I claim nothing

no victory

grasping thin air

slippery slopes greeting

tired eyes each morning

I stand

facing you

you smile

I die

beginning the journey

the first step is always

the hardest

Drugs help in deciding

the direction

left foot first

or right

needless decisions

needles deciding

the path of resignation

chosen

Vestas

In the circle of

Light

A box

Vestas

Hugging

The crown jewels

Unpolished

Blemished

Scarred

Resistance is futile

The birds chirp

of death

The Poet Bleeding

Two

Another twice

Occurring

Recurring

Your scarred

Arms no longer

Comforting me

The shadows reaching

For the needy

Finding only

The poet

Bleeding

Get It Done

The task

If we choose to

Accept it

Is impossible and

We know it yet

Hesitation does not

Cross our minds

As we throw ourselves

Over the cliff’s edge

The desire to succeed

The overwhelming joy

Upon success we know

It was worthwhile

To get it done

cosmic rays unbalanced

The mirror cracked

from time woven

interference patterns

Straight A

flattened

sharpened

through the tunneling

of cosmic rays

unbalanced

The mirror cracked

as all

perished

pressure building

unshade those eyes

Brunette or red head

not sure but

matter it does not

muchly tho do

unhat what covers you

unshade those eyes

reveal those truths

to me

contemplating

Sat ur day

Lettuce brain

Nobody likes the

unshaved

cleansing hardly

makes a dent

the brain wave

stands alone

contemplating all
