Garlic Breath

Just one fatal flaw, a broken cog

The machine doesn't work, function failed

Cannot compute, legends born

Bravery, boldness, malice maiden

Return the child, crackling pig

Return the baby, we have a penchant for forgiveness

Paper Cuts

Fading slowly, last leaky daylight

Not lost, out of reach, sofa deep

Touch the tip, icy feel, reeling dampness

Periscopes, squinting, distant shoreline

Heaven modes, broken codes, nucleus cracked

Did we all fail him?

Fanned Flames

Swelling cells, pressured pain

Twisted wood, green, unsplintered

Piece by piece, hour on hour

Trickle, drip, flow, no relief

Tighten the screw, unholy screech

Lifted, light, energy bright

Full function, happy gem, smooth

Graves

Unleashed beast, infantile insomnia

Point the finger, laughter trigger

Distant mountain, fire signs

Gather round, tiny whispers

Secret sounds, shocked stages

Have You Seen It?

Hope grows, creeping, consuming

There is no squeak, no greasepaint smear

Darkest thoughts, pencil shaving stretch

Fumbling, groping, echoing, you know I'm here

Dropped doors, lenient guardians

Return it unharmed, polished, caressed

Flat Heels

They tried, contorted faces, subtle anguish

Clawing hands, smashing stones

The cracks appeared, shallow at first

Loud rasp, hollow head, bled

'It's empty, there's nothing, gone'

The finder had kept, crumbs and dust

Just insignificance, just futile dreams

Cumulative Frequencies

Edge of Earth, distant precipice

Seventeen points, missing reasons

Contracted, dampened soil, failing

Sparks, twinkle, curls, smiles, revived

Starvation, remonstration, hurled abuse

Mindless ignorance, twisted love

Governance

Faint fragrance, deathly stench

Synapse snapped in two, electrical impulse amplified

Ping, ping, ping, that incessant ping

Grinding, eroding, destroying my sweet resolve

The wasp bites, strives to undermine

Feign your illness, you are not the helpless one

We've made plans, they warned us about you

Plastic Horizontal

Heathen highlander, sniping wretch

Stab, stab, stab, back biter

Pump the ball, deafening echo

Rock gently, pivot, damp fuses lust

You were wanted, you were helped

You thrust it back in our faces

Such contempt, no solace

Plant your feet firmly, remember, grow

Infinity Blossoms

Sweet marionette, bowed head, frayed strings

The darkened stairwell, daunting tasks

Orchestral fervour, safety sounds, synchronisation

Muted cries, mumbled worries, tired tired eyes

Too young for such worries, too young for such fear

It hurts, it pains, chastise with love, sweet dreams little one
