Thief (repost)
There is a thief Who raids my mind Steals my thoughts My ideas, my time Locks my knowledge away Rips it from my reach Feeds on my files Like a ravenous leech When I try to transmit Expressions of emotions The signal is jammed My throat becomes frozen It even blocks My ability to write… Continue reading

It’s Not Complicated
A lament There’s nothing complicated here It’s not hard to understand There’s no need to speculate This is not hard to grasp Take a person Work him to the bone Strip him of what he loves And leave him on his own He will dwindle and fade Fall into an abyss Be consumed by exhaustion… Continue reading

I am not a Zoo Animal
I am tired of people Trying to fix me Of prodding me With endless enquiries Of marvelling at my pain Like it’s an animal in a zoo And discussing among themselves Which techniques they would use Of trying to make me Their pet project Or seeing me as a challenge For their incredible intellect But… Continue reading

Stormweather Friends
A lament I don’t want Storm-weather friends Can’t they see the message That it puts in my head? That I am pitiful A charity case A way for insincere people To maintain face That I am of no interest Have no worth Except as some sorry thing To be picked up from the dirt In… Continue reading

Fungus
A lament Ennui is a fungusEating at the brainA wretched infectionOf unspeakable pain Beautiful paintingsMelt into grey mushAs soon as you liftThe cover to look At a brush of your handGlowing jewels fadeTheir serene texture convulsingInto rugged rock again Beautiful melodiesTurn to discord and bickeringAs soon as they knowThat you are listening The pen that… Continue reading

Bitterness (repost)
Stale milk Stagnating inside We harbour envy Then it rots our minds It darkens our corneas Until all is black It poisons our tongue Weaponises it for attack The world melts away Leaving only sharp edges The sun diminishes To darkness, it pledges Your flesh turns cold As the warmth disappears Your emotions embalm No… Continue reading
