sore suckers of the world are aching their tongues today more than ever, belligerent with ideas and reckless in their stride,
you wonder where they claim audacity, such boldness escapes those with palpitate heartbeats, severance offers an outlook which bathes in mud but hardens in golden air

the land of lazy losers is where i prefer to dwell
real radiates from souls who do nothing
they won’t lie to you, try to sell you
we offer you what we have, which is nothing
and you can see it plainly, no covert effort, never looking to pull our dirty wool through your packed wallet prison

bluesky i’ve missed you
it seems you can’t keep my attention
it prefers unbridled space
who can hold the reins now?
being with you is a choice to be made, and if so,
will you choose to be with me just the same?
i prefer not to court loneliness,
please offer your transcendent companionship

i’d like to feel like a fish in water
have you seen a snake wiggle on velvet?
coercion finds itself at a crossroads when it can no longer persuade the mind it holds
i sense my colors changing,
scales shift to retract the negative,
where does the transformation live?
hold it above breath

though i don’t know where i’m going,
i know what i’m leaving behind,
please wipe your eyes,
it is not the love i hold for you
that will be left in the passing moments,
but instead any remaining chain around my heart will no longer accompany our journey

follow me to a land of solitude
we can be perfectly alone, both of us
each sitting separately within the confines of one another’s lonely bliss
take a bite of your apple, juice runs down my chin
eyes filled with pride and joy bleed out into hungry mouths
languid souls have found oblivion

shine in the face of bright light,
darkness has its place, too
leave me in my ways which are unscrupulous,
it’s best to hope they don’t confront you,
unless it is such meeting that you crave,
if you too love where lives no brightness

why succeed as the keyless gatekeeper?
fall to your ugly, dishonorable death
break your bones to dust
tear your flesh to a million bloody chunks
veins and arteries strewn for all to see
die and disintegrate to your black nothingness
destroy what you are and have been
only then can you live
