The Lonely Man

The Lonely Man


The sweetest taste, is bitter now
My purest thoughts are poisoned through
The ghost of fate, keeps mocking me
From every scar I've earned, in every drink I've drowned
I've felt the joy of the thing called sin
I've stole and bought but never received
I've had my fill, my spilling cup
But now I'm empty, a shell of fear and doubt.

Stand not so tall now, my voice breaks up
I never believed the pace would slow
Now I feel the cold and I count the suns
The man who wears the guilty coat should realise,
That life will have the last laugh
You won't outrun your lies.

And now I feel what silence means,
In all its taunting
Looking to the heaven I don't believe is there for me anymore
I always was the bad tooth in a smile
But who I was isn't who I've become.

Every morning I stand in front of an unforgiving mirror
Life has the last laugh, Life has the last laugh.

Unpublished New Poem

World Of Villains Hive minded satellites, float above the seas of thought Impartial observers take bets on how long apathy can yawn In limbo as gigantic hands keep on spinning the globe Keep on confusing the sanity of certainty The soul of the nations is poisoned Some swear it came through the clouds Some claim it was dormant until hatched inside us We live in a world of villains It doesn’t make sense, because it isn’t meant too So we wait to be saved, it’s always been this way The merging of normality and super enhanced capability Because in a parallel world, a world where we are All Stan Lee’s creations V TOPP

To Be Continued

To Be Continued   So I wait for the calm to rise As I sink into my author's throne My eyes welded shut My breathing clicking to attention at silences glare. Outside noises become little gremlins That fade away like the dying breath of an echo My aura escapes me like the Northern Lights Flickering through spectrums in all the colours of my mind. This is the crossover, the moment I am at my most beautiful and vulnerable I have to give myself up to let my slate be wiped clean When I see the corridor I know I am entering the world of fiction But nothing feels so much truer than this to me. In the white room Empty apart from A white sheet of mental papyrus and my author's sword I stay here and take the flashbacks and flash forwards I write but never see the words just feel them The end I never write, Just to be continued.
