soul food

audio


I declare I am an island
    
I will live on bread alone

no time will be spent
     with friends breaking bread

Just me
     myself
          and bread rolls

Was content in my own company
     stewed in my own soul

Till I became too comfortable
     and contempt grew strong
Ingrown.
    
     Your misery surely needs company
Said a voice wise in its hunger
     There are forces unseen that change our direction
In time a path is shown
    
     Forces unseen
nudge creatures to coalesce

     saint meets sufferer
a starved heart draws it's lover
     soft minds for the teacher
old friends come together

So there was I
     jammed in a cold hole
unexpectedly
     time reminded me
delivered food for my soul:
     familiar company
how did I forget the warmth
     grub amongst friends is so much more

For the occassion
     a toast to the newlys
Clink
     we laughed over stories

I chewed fish
     a fresh feast
the sun shone
     my heart beat

No longer surviving
     living not lacking
The laughter of old friends
     The joy of overcoming

The peace of understanding

Natural born killer pt. 1

You know me well
     my name my rep
Angel death follows my step
     my presence has a strange effect
Great and small all hold their breath

     My heart is stone
eyes and skin
     Immaculate black
I am old as sin
     my armour gleams
encased within
     Cold flesh cold blood cold soul

I walk the line of malevolent kings

     beware my path

Grotesque my sting

     I have punctured, pierced

fools have bled

     look close

see stains of faded red

long

     time..

I have resigned

     to the quirks of my design

madness surely drives my mind

     a passenger I am

Am I..

     Cursed to kill

god's will dictates

     murderous impulse

guides my fate

     A scowling corpse left in my wake

this part I play

     is how god made

I cannot dissent

     I am.

'the behaviour of some creatures is irrepressible, no matter how they are treated and no matter what the consequences'

three poles

When I am happy

The world is in motion
Stars align
I have all the time
small cogs grind
in grand design
We turn..

But, When I am grim

The whole world is my enemy
Me against it all
even wasps plot to get me

Baited traps around me
Clouds are out to wet me
A season of despair
For the fool and his conspiracy-
Sods law dictates

When I am manic-

Time is my tyrant
Running through my fingers
I must accelerate

Surrounded by meaning
I pause to pick the locks
observations beckon
Yelling me
connect the dots

The pace of thought wears down my mind
I pay the price in ache
A frame of mind to taste
but to dwell is wretched fate
