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
