Welcome to the Abyss

Welcome to the AbyssDawg A chilling howl of windechoes through the barren landscapeof your imagination —a mournful sound carrying the weightof lost souls. It wraps around you like a shroud,tugging at your consciousness.The world is draped in unforgiving darkness,a deep black seeping into every crack,every pore, every thought. Each breath feels heavy,laden with dread.The only […]

What a Joke

What a JokeDawg I did my job admirably,the prime court jester clown.Even as things fell apart,I never let them down. Hungry eyes pierce the air,a smile across my face.They dance and sing and summon me,invite me to their place. I watch the world struggle onand make light of every scene.Nothing is as tragicwhen you can

Two Plus Two is Five

Two Plus Two is FiveDawg I give my love so readily,wear my heart upon my sleeve.I always speak with honest tongue,never meaning to deceive. I live in perfect virtue,not a blemish on my soul.I never lose my temper.I never lose control. I would say I’m perfect,if I wasn’t blessed with modesty.An ideal specimen —everyone should

Under the Floorboards-Acrostic

Under the Floorboards (Acrostic)Dawg Script written in shaking handsHold the only answers to the liesEternal secrets written downHidden away from prying eyes One old spiral notebookLines forged in blood and tearsDescriptions of every single momentSecrets no one hears The moment she betrayed my trustHer indiscretion and my rageEngulfing every syllableBurned into every page One simple

Turning (Double Acrostic)

Turning Lovingly kissed, Each breath upon her neck goes stillOne shiver, And she becomes mineSweetest sacrifice, There is no turning back from thisThe hopelessly lost, Mine now to find Aphrodisiac lips on Young fleshNo fear, She resigned long agoDamnation blessed, I drink to her eternal healthForsaken, No mercy left inside One pause, She whispers softlyUseless

Twelve Thirty Four

Twelve Thirty FourDawg Thirty-four minutes after midnightand sweat runs down my brow.Another restless nighthas become the norm somehow. I’ll lie awake for hourswatching the day drift away,letting the sun set without stirring,time slipping like it always does. Mind wanders to darkened placeswhere shadows dance and play.Lost in a heavy haze,the days just float away. I

Took The Sun Away

Took The Sun Away A chill blowing in on the breeze,shaking me to the bone.Stars snuffed out, sky gone black,clocks stopped ticking,no turning back. Night wraps around meand I can smell it —rain moving in,a silent peacebefore the storm begins. I’m not sure I want to go on.I’m not sure how everythingcould go so wrong.

Tragic Comedy

Tragic ComedyDawg Stop me if you’ve heard this one.I’ll try to make you smile.Maybe my sarcastic humorwill keep you smirking for a while. A rope walked into a bar —“We don’t serve your kind.”So it walked out, unwinding in its mind,tied itself into a bow,walked back in and took a seat. “Aren’t you the rope

Through My Eyes

Through My EyesDawg You read my wordsand get a piece of my mind.You hear the rhymesand try to finda way to see things the way I do,a way to make it all make sense to you. You glance at the paperand the words cry out,telling you there’s meaninghidden deep inside.You try to see beyond the

Ticking Away

Ticking AwayDawg There’s a sound trapped within my head,the haunted rhythm of a metronomeechoing between my ears —present for me alone. Signaling the passage of timein measured ebbs and linear flows,the rhythm of my own pulse beatingas each day comes and goes. Constant ticking inside my skull,never-ceasing percussion —comforting and disconcertingwhen I feel how time
