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.

trembling doubts

I’m not telling you
I love you
through the haze of
blackened fields
a scorching eye
scanning mine fields
trembling doubts
silencing my
heart

Vibrating Brownies at dawn

Would you love me less
Were I not a daughter
of Satan
The cloven hof
Giving everything you
Desire
The Extacy of
Snake pits and Vibrating
Brownies at dawn
Would you love me less
If I let you
Bleed out

withdrawal, agony, shame

Withdrawing from you
tumbling towards the void
stumbling on unlaced shoes
pain ^ 2 I scream
 
the hardest drug
today of days
further farther
stumbling on

1.6.8 days WITH
counting the days WITHOUT
the u in you
passing through Middleton

Withdrawal
Withdrawal
Withdrawal
Sucks.

I Lost

I wanted more

you did not

than friendship

follow heart

my feelings obvious

instead followed

for long lasting

advising “friend”

relationship

it won’t last

and love

ignore him

I lost

whistle whistle

4711 the number of
the beast
we were the kings of
the command line
the breakers
the crackers
the phreakers
ruled
the net was young
the rules none
whistle whistle
CONNECTED 2400
midnight sessions of
CGA YELLOW TINTED EYES
The Humble Guys *
Razor 1911 *
ATH and then
some sleep before
starting again

the joys of the falling

nothing

Nothing

NoThing

NOTHING

speaks to me

like the breaking of

the weakest link

the majestic

once standing

now falling

crumbling

I close my eyes

and smile

moment of truth

That sound you hear

is not a sizzler

arriving

it is I

standing right behind you

smoking a stick

of dynamite

awaiting the

mind blowing

moment of

truth

the doomsday bell

I find myself again
struggling to comprehend
decisions made
truths never spoken
the life clock is closing in
nearing three minutes before
a new day begins
the doomsday bell is
calling me
I insist I am
innocent
the blood you see
is mine
I stand by the chosen path
though lonely roads await
my feet afirmly planted
on soils of old
albeit cold
I find a way
to manage

lost again

evil the fluids contained
the metal string wrapped
a foiled neck
a foiled plan
sobriety lost
once again

You need to eat more poetry

uncooked, the virgin shape

sustenance for

wandering souls

hiding in shadows

cast by the moon

void the light

darkness crave

a sacrificing hand

each page

as the moon needs

crying eyes

to wax

the poet

setting words

alight
