Good intentions
cast aside, scattered to the whims of wherever they fall.
They'll be discovered soon,
shamed memory will cosh my mind.
My good intentions on the floor,
my good intentions laying in the gusset of your knickers.
Your knickers laying stripped and forgotten,
with my good intentions,
on the dirty, dirty floor.
I stood proud with good intentions,
Yeah, we know what goes before a fall.
With those good intentions I would be home soon.
Guess I clung with vain hope to those good intentions.
I had good intentions, but I needed good deeds.
The first beer was not a mistake,
but after the fourth not to have a fifth would have been the mistake.
Or so it seemed.
Not sure a drunkards perception counts for much,
not as much as the credit limit on this card.
As her hips gyrated and the music thumped,
I ordered another drink.
Well I tried, the order was lost between the hoped for promises of her surgeon sculpted breasts.
I ordered women and wine,
my good intentions falling closer to the floor.
I never made it back to your door.
Got lost along the way.
Had good intentions,
they got crumpled and spoiled on the floor.
Hit by a car,
smashed, up-ended killed against the floor
Walking back, at that hour,
trying to salvage good intention.
Scraping what I could from the crumpled gusset of the knickers,
of some whore.
You never knew what kept me from your door,
what late night errand had me in that part of town.
Do you suspect of my sin?
Or,
Is all you hear a silent din.

Wolf
You can hear, can't see
If you'd stop you'd smell
That is your own fear
Not stopping
Always hunting
Not in forest or wilderness
In your mind
All teeth and snarl
Claws sharp too
Etching in your mind
A primal fear
I'm strong and wild
Free and lose
You're caged and weak
Bound and restrained
I can smell the morning dew
Touch rays of sun in morning's reveille
Become alive with nature
Know who I am
How many shackles jangle when you wake
Do you yearn to forget the identity that waking reveals
Can you feel the golden glisten of nature
Do you know who you are
?
I am the wolf
Predator
Wild and free

Vice
and we all pay our prices.
Treasure 'n' blood, or maybe just psychosis.
Million reasons not to,
just takes one to do.
Our honor and pride, we just let it slide.
Under the rug,
We fear a revealing tug.
Exposure is closure, yet it makes the vice more nicer.

Fallen Angel
nothing to see.
Heard only whispers, and
touched only dreams.
A deed to be done,
commissioned and flung.
For an itch needed scratching;
a rash not yet sprung.
Temptation is torment, and
release will reveal.
Tis a foolish fandango,
that speaks the sins of your soul.
Waiting, and waiting.
Fidget and think.
Fingers get creepy:
when they can't keep still.
Up and down; over - across;
the terrain of the table.
But that is no relief.
So plunge not yet taken.
Transgression tomorrow?
Will the light be the same as this dark electric hum.
Fear the rocky, rapid moment
that wrestles, rips and tears.
Taken, taken over, the edge.
To the abyss.
You'll fall down, be pulled down:
down deep, down quick.
No rest, nor release.
Just a broken, fallen angel.
An echo, like so many, that have fallen here before.

Where were you my brother?
when our mother died?
Where were you my brother,
when the walls came tumbling down?
Where were you my brother,
when the rape and torture came?
You cursed and marched,
burnt flags and cheered,
at the foreigner far away.
Invoked kith and kin,
claimed all was one,
and told of how to fight.
Were once united
and marched 'cross sand, through heat:
a hazy dusty trial.
Yet united and myth created:
of a family arm in arm.
Now my brother,
our brother is at my door.
With evil eyes and blood stained hands:
he's hammering to get in.
Your lie was sold.
I believed as told,
that we were all as one.
When evil's done and at our door;
Your silence speaks so loud.
A foreigners help is blunt but needed.
And yet you would curse at him.
You my brother were not there.
Your lies are just like theirs.
No helping hand,
We fall not stand.
A family? No, we die alone.
So, where were you my brother?
