about

There is no Heaven for a never known poet

After drowning in a world of cliche

Soaking in, so much hate

Collecting memories, dripping with sarcasm

Tasting fear, thick in the air like the scent of death

There is no Heaven for a never known poet

Hiding behind philosophy books and news articles

Art, and photographs of suits in gas masks

Hitchhiking near a yellow sign, an exclamation mark

A heart like barren planets

Alien moons on fire or made of frozen water

Surrounded by cigarettes pressed into dirt

Lying like bullets in the aftermath of battlefields

The afterbirth of the future - of tomorrow

When there is no Heaven for a never known poet

When today is perfect for the spill of blood

Today seems perfect for a pill

When all we have is each moment

Ever changing and new

A pulsating now of a throbbing headache

Repeating itself into oblivion

Screaming over and over again

There is no Heaven for a never known poet

You are lost in a dark cloud of political smoke

Your light is a slight spark from flint and rock

Cave-dweller tech

Sticks stabbing Earth

Stone honed and writ against walls

Breathing in, the pain of simply existing

Swimming in regret

With the nearing feeling that this is it

Bone meets flesh and flesh is possessed

With instinct, not intellect

Survival and the lack thereof

For the ghost with the hollow pen

This catalogue of sense

This museum of emotion

The penniless beast

Whose only wealth is the knowledge of self

That there is no Heaven for a never known poet
