Nothing bleeds the system
Quite like fighting off demons

The Crux
No it isn’t easy
To find answers
In a complexed society
Applauding debauchery
With markets flooded
By avarice abusing sin
Won’t find a cure there
Where participants spin
No snake oil to appease
Nor balm to soothe skin
And aches with such hunger
Shield fangs from their grins
We Are Told
To not discuss truths in “polite company.”
(Calcutta – Sleep Token)

A Mother’s Love
The chemicals hit again
Combining withdrawals
Indicating she was infected
From the advanced heroine
Love’s trust having delved
Trying to save relationship
Discarded without recompense
Like a whore’s need left begging
Cast into poverty among
Liars, thieves, and beggars
She fought against sludge
Clogging conscript arteries
Refusing access or pursuit
Determined they’d overcome
Hell’s damnation unasked for
Would not take children’s blood
Kissed
Every wound
Would be
(Thread The Needle – Sleep Token)
Open Wounds
“There’s a place one cannot travel alone without being consumed by violence.”
(Fields Of Elation – Sleep Token)
Underground
The feast of
Many flavors
Once sampled
Infects blood
Craving skin
Beg-itching
Develops new
Vulnerability
For receiving
Mistreatment
Just for another
Sip of the divine
It does not matter
Which plate tried
Each chemistry
Creates desire
Glorious if
Partnered
Hell if one’s
Cast aside
(Love Will Lead Us Home – Oryn Etheria)
Exchanging The Years
“To feel it for real, on our skin.”

Paradise
The phrase “nature abhors a vacuum” is
An observation of its attempt to heal life
If humans stopped destructively consuming
The planet could repair and restore balance.
Pain
If it feels like you are
Losing your sanity
Stick quick
To an anchor
Tethered to
This plane
Legend
The planet
Was dying
Souls were
Being taken
To humans
Rapture as
Unknown
Predation
Warrior
Response
Restored
Balance
Enforcing
Retreat
Of fang
And claw
So Get Ready, Beloved
Candidly Yours
“It sucks that callous people are able to conscript time without reciprication and hurt others in their off-handedness.”
Query
She had thought that she had seen him before, walking alone into town, and had wanted to call out to him.
But she had not been sure that he would welcome attention, and so drove off to her other destinations, regretfully.
Cupping
“I am beginning to target zones to see if I can reactivate and smooth what looks like adipose tissue – but is really zones of trauma to fascia from the accident.”
Rights Of Passage
The adults had warned her to forget about the painting.
If anything, they said, she should only remember the conflict portrayed in the man’s face – and keep that as a warning reminder to never venture into exploring her ancestry’s history.
But one thing she knew had became undeniably clear to her the moment she had seen the man and the woman he carried in his arms.
The woman had had such a look of pure and content happiness in her slumber – like all of the world’s cares had been removed from her now smoothed brow, where only the faintest of worry lines could still be seen in the dimmed corridor lighting.
Somehow, she knew that this joy was because the woman had been given the choice to choose her own destiny.
And she had chosen to be with the man she loved – finding the choice to be worth any risks that the adults were warning her of.

Disclosure
Until my eyes
Behold you
Here, now
In my life
It will be difficult
To regulate how
I feel about you
In your absence.

Dear Alex,
“I am sorry if I have said anything that has made you uncomfortable.
I am working in a vacuum here, and also, still learning.”

Does this mean that the rest of the cat food contents are really bad?

“I am stoked that now there are colored stickers to place on the neck to help identify chord component placements, but this still seems visually overstimming.”
(Here With Me – Dido)
The beginning sound effects remind me of thematics in the movie, “Blade Runner,” when they are first flying over the city to get to the police headquarters.
Introductions
“I’m sorry you aren’t seeing me at my best,” she lamented.
“I think we might have this in common,” he gently reassured her.
First Meeting
“Are you afraid of me?” he asked.
“No. Although maybe I should be?” and she smiled playfully, with just a hint of concern over completely trusting without fully knowimg him, yet.
“The Goons are making me stressed, though. Are they yours, or someone elses?”

Tidal Surges
If evil
Actively corrupts
So too must
Good actively protect
Instinct
She wanted him
Like life’s blood
But she spoke
To the heavens
Instead of the gods
For she knew deities
Characteristically
To be treacherous
(Dangerous – Sleep Token)
Born To Believe
She was more than passionate
Celestial propulsion incarnate
(Look To Windward – Sleep Token)
Hard-Headed
What was it about warriors
Why did they always delay?
Females new the difference
Between dark and light play
Although she had to admit
She had limited experience
As catching the wind’s scent
His heat made her delirious
Love Worthy
It is not absence of scars
Nor perfect resilience
Nor conquered fear in
Hind brain’s insistence
But knowledge of lore
As two become as one
Strengthening
Both overcome
The Need To Feed
How could he walk
Tall and assuredly?
She knew that he
Must be starving
What efforts
To not ravage
Must be
Tolling
She carefully
Moved closer
For once her
Guard down
Entranced
In wonder
Day Strider
As she observed him
From safe distance
Ancestral memories
Illuminated evidence
Change as irreversible
Once man succumbed
She now witnessed a
Legend embracing sun
Recognition
She hadn’t had
A worthy male
In her territory
And was both
Excited and
Reserved
For they were
Rumored rare
To still exist
And he was
A proven
Warrior
With an
Intoxicating
Kiss
The Summoning
Time delves
Into fathoms
What will bring
True love to me?
