Becoming.

The journey does begin when to this measured plane of
conscious time and dust came forth a travelling spirit
seeking warmth and love. Alas the love that willing wisp had
wished came not to he and now a soul on wing his light does

Remembrance.

This journey does begin
When to this measured plane
Of cosmic time and dust
Came forth a traveling spirit
Seeking warmth and love
Alas the love that willing wisp had wished
Came not to he and now
A soul on wing his light does range

Address to a mother fucker

Touche parry thou literary
Cream of its cleek society
Does air the grace disparagingly
Devoid of all hilarity

Who cross the street by rapidly
Quite apt to do so happily
As if that solved a riddle
Of what was in the...

OCD, Tourette's and Asperger Syndrome as a rap

I don't do anything anyone states
Who go into places through herding gates
There in I go through the out doors
And leave that same way at super stores
I'm a super sheep
I walk upstairs backwards
Counting the steps
5 steps, left foot first...

Engines blare, a blaze somewhere

This mystery

Cups of coffee, losing sleep
Seems the only thing to keep
Is the sanity, which seeps into the bewildered vanity
Creeping into my tears
What was found is ‘lost’, a realm of confused black
Ghosting persona, diminishing willpower
Until all is wholly...

Penitent

Oh what a fate doth lie in wait for all the evildoers

For a terrible troll stilled a soul here in the North...

River regardless

River regardless where am I, you flow on after I die,
rushing streams in full blown spate, meeting deadline fate.
Sometimes we just flow peacefully
and at some point we reach the sea,
you’ll still be there and so will I,
but you’ll be somewhere in...
