Reincarnation

Locked in the centre Vibrating through the mind Through the soul Eons pass Night folds to twilight Pain dims in the story of birth Rhythem nature, nature rhythem The cycle begins The cycle ends within itself Pitch building Fear of the unknown Growing, dimishing Towards the end Towards the beginning Black, white, red, black, blue, […]

Modern Day Life

Wage Slave Trapped in mental annialation Within this hell Achiving nothing on the scale Working endlesses to strike a balance That others unthinkingly tip A painful realisation Within this role Everything relies on you But only in civility And your potential is eroded House Slave Trapped in this plight Within this domestic domain When something […]

The Secret of Strawberries

Tuesday, November 11th, 2014

Sweet, not cloying like chocolate Skin scaly smooth Seeds crunch, insect carapaces Juices tinging the end of the tongue Tart, hurting pleasure Ice fire benieth the ears Large read and heart shaped Waiting to ensnare Lighter at the core Soft and succulent A summer treat Coaxed to a sad perfection Over priced Engorged and watery […]

Punishment
