Reiver

I wish to declare, to protest my love

I can no longer resist your ineluctable charm 

My thawing heart has been conscripted to your command

Violent and careless in self-possessed pursuit  

My feelings lack decorum, smuggled like contraband

A prowler and a bandit in lawless terrain

An allegiance born of similar descent

This love burns defiantly against one’s will 

I must confess my compunction and misfortune  

To yearn and covet another woman’s name

The unspoken solicitude of a mutual torment 

These artistic sensibilities are crude and untamed

I Desire

Woe, woe what shall I make of this

Parched land, infecund lamb, a season amiss

This transient love, a momentary respite

The maniacal and obscure scatter of twilight

I’m no longer a friend to love and to life

My covenant is bonded to the shadows of my might

I fight against the blight, a sickness of the mind, of the mind and of the sight

I want what is not and what is not exists in me

My deliverance of self, an unceasing soliloquy

I have gone against my nature, that which is unknown

The sustenance that comes from the marrow of cleft bone

Defile my body and gather crust and supple skin

I long for days that bare my soul open to sin

Resurrection

Shards of broken heart

Away with you and so we part

Torn apart for unrequited love

Hear me plead the one above

He lives again he conquered death

I bury the memory lest he sought her breath

Power resides in deranged men

The ravages of my soul, godforsaken

She is bruised again the untainted maiden

Undue penance for that which is mistaken

A sin I conceived at the birth of the obscene

Which pestilence is this, a love unforeseen

My soul may be lost my body your own

For these crimes you commit alone you atone

I need not stay where I am pained and enraged

In my departure I still fear you have me contained

Crime scene

I can never truly love wholly

Not until I find what my soul is searching

What comes to me unholy

Shattered and broken, subverting

A memory I am learning

A truth crippling to the core

It leaves me so undeserving

My mind and what it bore

My heart diseased, impassioned

Rebooting, she’s a fascist

I succumb to such distraction

A burning soul reborn from ashes

Contending with forgetting

Insatiable yearning when I am lurking

Bring me to my discerning

A vision, unconscious in my state

The tyranny how psychotic

A future I will dictate

An illness so demonic

There’s more, just wait.

While we are young

I’m symptomatic in a bad boy’s maze

I keep sedated that heart inflated

By a brooding male with eyes ablaze

My mind I’m losing, were we not fated

It seems our planet even in its orbit

Could not align above our shrine

My songs are empty and just so morbid

His words well stated will bring me mine

Have you not travelled these distant lands

Have you not left your lifeless being

To wander aimlessly on desert sands

In search of what is always fleeting

We are just human to claim ill season

Alive and burning so too just dying

Your lack and mine is truth when reasoned

There’s no real treason I said while sighing

I gave you wings and so you’ll soar

I made you king, I made you roar

Away from me and more to yours

I’m now alone with you no more

Bitter sweet

Love looks better abandoned
Never touched, never famished
I had a sour soul a stench of madness
My actions were innocent, pure and blameless
Then I killed, I took another life
I claimed it mine a life full of strife
The day I touched your smell
The day I prayed, for in you I fell
Decades came, decades passed
Time never reveals, it polishes the farce
Although time sure does taint the saint
All your doings remained in eyesight faint
Known heroine is caught once more
With her heart on her sleeve she foretold what she saw
Seasoned heart or quite the other
I’d choose another, a yours truly lover
Love makes me wither
How can I stop this endearing fever

Wild I run

I am a wild thing
My bones rattle in my skin
I wear the sun between my thighs
Here I am born too soon he dies
So like the wild of the sea
I think it’s empty inside of me
My skin flows as water boils
I am a root deprived of soil
Her gaze brings forth escaped thoughts
Nothing can wander where it was brought
Too soon my intent is infamous and known
Against change I am best unknown
My words are long and remain curious
For they do seek what seems oblivious
My arms they dare to borrow tomorrow
Soon then I expose the hollow to sorrow
I carve myself as an undiscovered mystery
All those who come are mentioned in history
The days are short and always unseen
I wonder where I am, I wander where I have been

What I am

What had come in the guise of consistency
I thought I had planned against all contingencies
Our inconsequential rendezvous was fortuitous
In your mysterious approach you were but marvelous
Every word exchanged had a modicum of candour
Reckless and careless inaccurate in my blunder
I fell only once on my consistent weakness
When it comes to love I unveil all my meekness
I felt it at first when you came a bit too late
To fornicate, be my mate I am jovial when intimate
My passion is my muse it is where I reside
My highs and my lows take me for a bride
So I belong to myself but I give myself to another
You take me and have me then ask why I bother
I crave to be felt the way I create my feelings
Is it more than you can give, men and their dealings
I am all too woman all too powerless
I take what is mine in all my abruptness
When I am wasted in your corruptness I am powerful
Only then I made whole, magnificent and wonderful
I fear my passions when they call to you
Soon enough they exhaust and reach for what is due

Known

When you leak let your soul reverberate

Speak to demonstrate a love that resonates

Converse with your inner state

Knowing oneself can conjure hate

 

Known flaws don’t define creation

They cloud and cripple the imagination

You believe you’re incapable of pure revelation

Let me tell you, son, the damaged being is the most profound manifestation

 

I’m leaking so let me speak from my pores

So many times I’ve opened hearts and shut my doors

So many moments I have loved through defining laws

So few are days where I healed my own sores

 

I am raw I am stripped of my rotting  bandage

I am naked in my wild I am known to be savage

Held and tortured by my own I am ravaged

No more of this clone, I swear I can manage

 

I can manage the moon as I walk I leave a dent

A dent, an eclipse is more of what I meant

My love will be written on scrolls and honoured in monuments

It only took a soul one so very fervent

End

I’m comforting my demon

I made him growl last night

We hurt each other for no particular reason

As thick as thieves, an honourable knight

His black blood on those rusty chains

Why do I sympathise, why do I stay

My hopes seem dead, a thought remains

I feel him breathing every day

My third self, a loathed artifact

My brain is old a decaying fossil

He is my bind in all his acts

Benevolent  he keeps his teeth behind a muzzle

Manipulation is key in our relation

There’s a game for two, I hide he seeks

Be warned a devil labyrinth is quite the sensation

I feel his claws damned as a freak

Crawling up my spine, a fetish abuse

He lived, he lived for the life in reverse

So I find myself asking if running is of good use

What conjures such monsters, such vile a curse

Why does he love me so, in my head he resides

Severed emotions, what a selfless deed

He bows before me but I’m the one to abide

Carcass inside me, the black raven feeds.
