Sinkhole

Sinkhole

Memory's as dark as pitch

With a sinkhole for a head

Well I try to fill it up
The bottles crowd my bed

People come and go as dreams

Or nightmares to be drowned

And drinking alone through the day

Is the only peace I've found

In my dreams you're still wriggling

But my human being has died

And in the place of myself

This toxic dump abides

People come and go as dreams

Or nightmares to be drowned

And drinking alone through the day

Is the only peace I've found

Let me sleep an alchie's sleep

Bring me the pill-head's crown

Let me fall into the world

For evermore down

As Shadows The Sun Bred

As Shadows The Sun Bred

Prepared for

My night's work

Killing like

Hare and Burke

Smothered till

Blackness comes

Deep abyss

I'm your son

In my dream

Altar's laid

Virgin's called

To the blade

Sacrosanct

Murder scene

Rubbed down with

Vaseline

Fools fools fools you bloody fools are gonna die

Fools fools fools drooling fools

A lesson

In justice

A talent

You'll witness

As shadows

The sun bred

We'll be cast

By hatred

Worship my

Collection

Waiting for

Perdition

Missing folk

Some surprise

In a blink

Of my eye

Once you pass

Through death's jaw

Stripped to bones

By my saw

Early morn

Surgery

We'll be cured

You and me

Fools fools fools you bloody fools are gonna die

Fools fools fools drooling fools

A lesson

In justice

A talent

You'll witness

As shadows

The sun bred

We'll be cast

By hatred

Like echoes
A voice rings

You'll vibrate

On my strings

As day breaks

So will you

Stood in light

I'll be new

Fools fools fools you bloody fools are gonna die

Fools fools fools drooling fools

My Dear Paralysis

My Dear Paralysis

Do you dream of caves, cold and dismal,

Deeply buried far abyssal,
In utter trance, black as the lakes,

Which drown that esoteric place?

Once hours throttle limp your will,

And your hot blood has cooled to chill,

Your pulse has slowed until you're still,

Then dear, you must dream further.

Our planet is a spiny rose,

You pluck its petals as you doze,

You're the summer breeze, and blossom you blow,

My dear, you're adorable sleeping.

Beneath those vaults of inhuman gloom,

Below the mantle of Earth's bloom,

Under the waves of fiery doom,

There is a vale of nectar.

And in that valley was told a poem,

(Like this, but better known,

Published in a collected tome)

And the people dreamt of caves above them.

It related how she dreaded in sleep,

The ghastly dens of that aerial keep,
How when she woke, above her looming,

A paralysis towered, black visage fuming,

His voice was hallucinatory booming,

And so he spoke:

“I am your creation; I cannot die,

A cure for your problem; I cannot apply,

For I am a phantom and I am a lie:

You are alone.”

Re-Emerge The Exact Same As You Are

Light shines upon that river free,
And incandescently bright;
A Moravian forest scene
Trapped within my head at night.
We used to hide, smoking weed,
In the transcendental day;
There was no festered evil bleed,
Youth was a tourniquet.

That waterway's a tributary
Only for my dreams.
Were those years too, fantasy?
Crooked memory, buckled overhead beams.
Those sunny banks are lost to doubt,
Though you may trek through country far,
You'll never find that river-mouth,
Re-emerge the exact same as you are.

I remember your post-coital banter,
You said it didn't make you cute,
It just meant you were a massive spanner;
I still disagree with you.
Can you imagine how distraught I'd be
If you did yourself harm?
Don't bide beneath that river free,
Re-emerge the exact same as you are.
