Exphoria
If my sins had a smell would you sit near me?
I Wouldn't.
The tangy odour of deceit
A concoction of broken promises
The web of lies
A stench that embeds itself in ones skin
Needs more than a fix of TLC
Sorrow is my PLC
Yet it bothers you none
Through the shadow of my heart you see my smile

The Year of the “Dead“ - Gloomy end-of-year thoughts
A year unfolds where silence reigned supreme,
A hollow life devoid of hope’s faint gleam.
No voices called, no hands reached out in kind,
To soothe the scars etched deep within my mind.
So-called companions faded, turned to mist,

But met a cold, unyielding dial tone.

Companionship vacated, in emptiness to wallow
Loneliness unfolds, bitter is the pill to swallow
Sometimes I yearn to rewind the days, erase the sorrow's tide
For you to ...

Sorrow's Bounty
In a world of plenty, where joy should reign,
A soul wanders lost, drowning in pain.
He has it all, or so it seems,
Yet inside, he's adrift in shattered dreams.
