#45 – And it rained all night

These years are like waves
That ebb and flow out of me
Gently carving meaning from life

The stars in the darkened night
Guide the babe emerging
From the ocean of the womb
Into a world in need to it’s light

#44 – Whale songs 1.0

Here I guide to the gates of nirvana
Past the streets of woe
And the hills of desolation
To the lands were angels do weep
In praise of manifold glory

To journey into this elysium
We mustn’t toast nor feast
In the halls of Valhalla
Waiting for that which comes in peace
To rescue you and her

#43 – The Keeper

Can you find the keeper of secrets
From high above the castle walls
Will you know the fate of the King
By divining with the bones below the keep

Can you hold your own
Against the will of the whole
Would your body listen to you condone
Acts that eat at your very soul

#42 – Ani, would you pause time?

If I allowed you one wish
to pause this being
and return to a previous time
would you remember
how lovely the mess we were was

the fragility of this easter egg
we this fleeting thing called happiness
that we find in midst of rubble
from a forever ending bloodbath
gaddamn, it’s fucked up!

So if I allowed you a second chance
what would you change
or what would you like to watch again
would it be about the fabric of your soul
the mistakes that made you whole?

This thing we cherish so much
and want to hold onto
how would you manage to stay here forever
perhaps we could find away to make it work
i know you never say the word never

#41 – Waiting

What do you think about the way I smile
Crooked teeth like uneven floor tiles
Lady please feel this heart in front of you
A touch me from a million miles away with your glorious view

What if I don’t awake to your kiss good morning
Snuggled safely in my cold blankets
Make me some tea
I’ll be right down if I sensed you waiting for me

#40 – Hushed Feelings

She got so high
Floating into another world
And everyone says hi
From all around the world

Hey mama,
It’s the dawning of a new age
Wouldn’t you like to know
What I’ll write on this new page

I’m going out of my mind
Ripping at the seams
Those were his final words
That all was not as it truly seems

Then Goodbye.

#39 – To Madeleine C. Claire

I’m not going to disappear
When you say my name
I want to be with you right here
Each and everyday

Whether in the same
Or in different places
We will laugh in the spirit of play
A huge grin on both our faces

Take me to the ends of the earth
And swear that in life where adjoined so
We shall only be asunder in death
Find me in the next life like you always do

The spirit was dramatised
And the sun was incarnated as man
Just to be next to you
According to the original plan

Look for me darling
I’ll be waiting in the dark
Trying to ignite some light
Say my name when you’re near

Forever Yours,
August J. Baudelaire

#38 – Pretty Penny

Take the money and run
As far with it as you can
Maybe later you’ll have some fun
If you find yourself a better man

Take the money and run
But don’t leave me hanging
Without my Molly and the gun

#37 – clock

Do you scroll on tick tock
Laughing or crying
As the time goes tic tock
Living closer to dying

Would you swipe right on me
After a long tiring day
And I wrote about anime and ice cream
And the board games I play

#36 – Not too early

What is the truth behind the way you roll your eyes
And what will I tell from your hips which tell no lies
I don’t know how much longer I can keep this going
But hey, these were hushed feelings all the fucking way

Do you think I remember your favorite flavor or ice cream
And what necklace your wore on that night we talked about loss
I don’t know if it even matters to you
But could it have been too early to learn how to love

#35 – This little heart of mine

She spoke softly
Like the light of sunrise
But to those who understood
It was the middle of the night

Young heart of mine
we have reached the end of the line
of what it is to be
so forgive me if I set you free

#34 – Ever Afters

Wake up Prince Charming
Your sleeping beauty awaits

Lady don’t run away from love
I know that what we shared was romantic
But leaving me with just a slipper is a bit dramatic

Will you forgive the skeletons in my dungeon
And that I trapped you all by your lonesome
Will you stay until the heart of this beast blooms
And perhaps show him true loving too

I’m coming back to retake the throne
I abdicated when I ran away from home
Thank you for believing in me

Let out your hair into the wind princess
And call out all the colours that’s you see

#33 – Elvis and suicide (part 2)

I know you want me
That’s why i’m hiding away these days
But I promise to show myself
If you swear to be good and kind to me

What if I died
Will you mourn my absence like a friend
Or will you forget that I ever was here
Just say a little prayer for me

#32 – Elvis and suicide (part 1)

Late night s**
And a longing induced cardiac arrest
Couldn’t hold me back from the end
But I needed some long deserved rest

Smoked potatoes
And a side of tomatoes sauce with gravy
Couldn’t make me forget the bile
You left when you spoke falsely of destiny

#31 – someday

The world began in a similar fashion of how it will end
And i’m sure someday we’ll figure it out
And we’ll laugh for a really long time
Because after that it wouldn’t matter

I just want you to read
And have a good time
Writings should be enjoyed
At least the good ones

#30 – time marches on

Steadily recollecting words
I wrote in a book from a long time ago
Looking at pictures
Of me smiling with an Afro
‘Does time not stop for no one?
Onward marching never quitting’

I’m so sleepy
Why is the bed so cold?

#29 – fly through the air

Let our minds mingle
In a wrestling match
And our ideologies have it out
In mortal combat
Let’s both have
Equal standing
Without regard for our age
Sex or our race
Let’s make a pressure pot
Filled with the best
And toughest of ideas.
When it begins to bubble
Tip the lid and let it blow
So that perhaps
Our thoughts would travel
And fly through the air

#28 – The great danger

Everything has been getting better
Through science you say
More food, more money, the poor people are getting fatter
To more data you pray

The different narratives are fighting
And we shall be wept by its flood
The noise and lights will be blinding
And all that would be left is our blood

Everything is getting better
I conclude to retort
Just look at the weapons we have to kill each other faster
Sarcasm is a last resort

The ways we live our lives
To prevent elementary catastrophe
When the greatest one stares us back in the mirror
A mind with the power to make both,
and bring forth hell in pursuit of heaven

#27 – Hello you

Hello world and all that you share
Hello world, the life we must bear
Goodnight void and all the space you take
Goodnight void, the price of heartbreak

Hello you, my loyal friend
A cozy pillar I knew I could always depend
Goodnight me, your sleepy traveler
Dozing in and out listening to Rammstein

#26 – don’t point

Will you crack under the weight of
The load I must bear
Will I rest if I really must give
To the abyss, all my fears

#25 – Dear Gus,

If we were able to grab the meaning of it all
what else would we have for a purpose?
If we were privy to the secret of the mystery
would it not tear us apart from within?

Perhaps this question of evil we like to ask

Isn’t about how a god can permit this to occur,
but how can man will it,
knowing the pain and reality of suffering
choosing for someone else to die instead of him?

This seems to me to be the crux of the crucifixion myth:

that we must sacrifice for our fellow man
and each bear our cross to atone for all of evil.
this morning I tried to imagine a world
where we did our very best to accomplish this

It lead me to thoughts of Armagideon, but it could be Paradise.

– Yours sincerely,
Madeleine C. Claire

#24 – V.

Forget love and our sickness for connection
Deny me sunshine and the seeds of salvation
Touch me once and I shall be newly reborn
Remember me even after from our mothers we are torn

Forget love and our date by the river
Under those stars you made me a believer
You spoke about your little girl and I wanted to make you my wife
We kissed under the moonlight of that greatest night of my life

#23 – Broken Hits: A Description Poem

I can hear my heart beat indecisively,
Sometimes I am such a Jerk

Unsure of what to think of
In Shadows that surround me

Till I sought out a passion
To nourish and be my Soul Food

Most of My dayz are spent
Make out who I am beneath the noise

High to the fucking gills
Sirens cry a Fantasy Opera

On that High M3 Ride to BP
Happy as fuck
I couldn’t wait to see you.

– Inspired by ASM-SAN’s Broken Hits

#22 – Gnostic

I’m going outside
And I don’t care if it’s raining
Mi o bi wọn leere
jẹ k’awọn ọmọde mi ṣere

I stepped faraway
To connect with the old gods
O le so nkan fun mi
Ma teriba si anybody

I feel in my element
No filter on these thoughts
Mo ma pada wa
titi di igba naa

Ke kọrin ke kijó ṣaaju ki o to
fun ogun pẹlu awọn oriṣa titun

#21 – Dancing

Would you like some coffee
To go with your toast and cheese
I’m pretending not to hear
Staring at the hobo about to freeze

I put some extra cream
Is that how you…——
His blasphemy broke the daydream
But I choose not to argue

I drink and smile a little
I have a bite from my toast
Let’s have the rest to go please
Sure, it’s always nice to see you.

#20 – 02:22

I’ve turned out all the lights
And i’m feeling a little blue
It’s the middle of the night
And darling i’m thinking of you

Will you be here soon
Radiant Sunshine
Beseech the green moon
To find something better to do

Love is a four letter word
That rules the world
Love is a four letter
Lethal, but you may have all of mine

#19 – Wounded by fear

The dawn is breaking in

On Sunday morning

It’s nothing and all

Save me from my falling

Don’t let it break your heart

I don’t want us to be apart

Night haunts me

Will you hold onto love

Murder, is just a kiss away

Bite me.

#18 – BE

For second I thought
Thou must be
The most beautiful creature
In this world or any others

And for all the seconds
And years since
I’ve had very little doubt
That if one knew
How the world was governed
One would know,
That not all of beauty roams free

Even the moon, the stars
And the sun
Are bound like leaves in a tree
But compared to you
In ecstatic glee
Most else looked like pitiful tar

So I consign myself
To be a satellite for thee
That thee may give life
To me.

#17 – Octavia’s dream

If I asked
What you knew of fate
You may say
It’s a door or rather the gate
That one will pass
Whether struggling or with poise
For no one can change
What was at the beginning never a choice

If I asked
What you thought
About new beginnings
You may say
Stop with the foolishness
We both know
Such things do not exist
Except in dreams

#16 – D.D. D.D.C.

Send for the diadems
To be placed on his head
He’ll be ready once
That girl leaves his bed

Send for the maids
to water seeds
Before the sun comes out
But not more water than
the plant needs

How does the beast feed
From our thoughts when we sleep
Memories of secret deeds
That we intend to keep

#15 – It’s not empty

Perhaps the angels are all sleeping
And heaven will not hear this
But there’s a little child weeping
Questioning creation and all of this

In all likelihood, we’re in hell she said
But don’t try to reason you way out
You’ll only keep flailing till you’re dead
Then you’ll see there’s nothing to fuss about

I’d venture a guess, but I don’t know who’s listening
And there’s clues for those who wish to find it
First, within a forest grave you’ll find treasure glistening
Lastly, the ink on the page will not blot.
