You can’t let the loss outweigh the memories
So when it aches - remember
And when it itches just perceive
We have been here before:
There is nothing as common as a broken heart
And when it’s all you can think about
Turn your burnt soul towards the future
Another mind gone round the bend!
Another loss of jobs and friends
Began to seem like enemies...
Another broken set of days
To mend the fences set ablaze
And turn the stones of bridges burnt again
We have witnessed our true horror...
Harder still for how they ignore us
March!
Unending March
You survive
Though weakened, defeated
The Hunger necessitates life!
Rolled like dumplings towards survival
Beaten and indoctrinated
Squirm
Fail
Lawless, temper, transform us
As we ride away from the Forest
Flawless, from which we came formless
And We Cry
At the hands of all our darker nature
No Lion would ever jump off a cliff
Our Pride will die in a dreamless slumber
This violent kind was raised on tides of blood
In the eyes of our Mother

God Raise The Sea

To tire of the world
The Fire and the bones
To flee through an arbor
Unhinged and alone
Then I cut some trees
Then I built a boat
May God raise the sea
So I’ll float
What they said, I’ve unlearned
A withering orchard
My presence profane
The blisters from hogsweed
I burnt in His name
A vanished and wretched ascetic
In hunger beneath blue clouds
Choking
Foaming
Writhing
Devout
They’ll drown like waterlogged ants!
Drown, down
Empires etched by waves in the sand
And I admit I cannot forget them...
In hunger and wasting away
The dusk of my journey erases the stray
Failure, forever
And yeah, I should have known...
A novice can’t build a boat on his own
So rise the tide!
Commence this slaughter
To fill our lungs with salt
And water
Come every son
And every daughter
To choke on ash
And salt
And water

It’s true that tests can and do come in time
The mind in fracture is a special kind!
It gets us all, to the last standing village
Cast in tar, mockery of self
Flesh computer - You should seek help
She couldn’t do it
I couldn’t blame her
Known Loss
Bone deep
Marrow fields
Cast in relief
Deprived of my family
Lost
Satan isn’t scary
This desperation repels
The newfound life I’d leapt inside
Impending isolation
Drowned!
A curse of aging is a shrinking mind
A tariff mania takes in half the time
I’m wilting now
Fade into the future
And here is where we may hear/grieve the lyrics written:
I’ve never loved someone as dear as you before
This void that I carry, I may implode
And yet I understand
