Scars

Scars
Burns, cuts, rips, slashes
Cinders, timber, tinder, ashes
Marks from white-hot seal
Cause wounds that do not heal
Leaving marks, pits, scars
Knotty white and red bars
Sinewy patterned arm
That reminds of self harm
Invisible blisters on the soul
A mental chainsaw rips a hole
The psychic wound opens wide
When all is quiet in the night
Amnesiac, ambrosiac,
A maniac, insomniac,
The knife still ready at request
To carve aphorisms into the chest.
Soul behind bars,
Visible invisible scars

Out of Breath
05:01

Out of breath
Close your eyes
And breathe
In out, out in
Not to seethe
I'm an outsider
Overweight joyrider
Polish, Turkish, Serbian,
English, Jewish, German
I'm your ally
I'm the good guy
Drags you out of trouble
Into a safe bubble
Where you can flourish
Happily nourish
I form a shield
When you're in the field
So
Close your eyes
And breathe
In out, out in
Not to seethe

RMS
Archangel ephebe
Clad in flowing light
In your wiry veins
Runs red hot blood
Prophet of submission
Clairvoyant mind
Razorblade tongue
Cutting through the concrete
You can criticise
What you love
You actually have to
If you want to be serious

Lockup

Lockup
Intimidation
Incarceration,
Incineration,
Infatuation
Bars drop from the sky
Zing! into the ground
Form an oval cage
The pigs in the sty
Barbed wired heart
Lash marks do smart
Saguaro on the cart
Bed-of-thorns art
Electric-fence spool
Gritty iron tool
Polished and cool
Soul behind ghoul
Anticipation
Self isolation
Self immolation
Hibernation

Deep Thought
05:25

Deep Thought
So profound
Devoid of sound
Starry sky
Milky way
Dark and bright
Luxless light
Blackest hole
Swallowing soul
Purposeless
Bleak distress
Sombre ground
Bright around
Water falls
Charon calls
You owe me one
Get undone

The Inner Child

The Inner Child
Behind your bearded wrinkly face
You're still the abandoned needy child
Tears dried up and sobs are choked
Desert sand and thoughts going wild
Clutch the plush toy, stomp the ground
Feelings trapped, tied up and bound
I'm responsible for my luck
I'm able to perceive and feel
I'm open for the new and change
I may be angry, I'm not made of steel
Clutch...

Matter

Matter
Our secret twin world
Mirroring ourselves
Keeping things in motion
From where energy wells
Night and day
Come away
Switch off and on
Fire and sun
Firewater
Teetotaler
Bigoted whimp
Helpless limp
Limp wrist
Beard kissed
Tightly embraced
Water's been laced
Evildoers
Stalking wooers
Bad dream night
Scorching daylight

Spite

Spite
The sun rises and sinks again
In spite of people suffering
There was sunshine and there was rain
In concentration camps
Day and night light interchange
In spite of coppers clubbing
The leather boots improve with time
When walked through pools of blood
The continents keep drifting
In spite of death and warfare
You fall asleep wake up again
And languages die out
Catastrophes do come and go
The earth keeps on revolving
Die in die out advance retreat
The world keeps on evolving
