Maverick
when the duties done
you don't serve anyone.
Only by fighting alone
are skills honed
strength infusing bones
morality is toned
Only by fighting alone.
Your Armies Corrupt It's Very Soldiers.


The Last Honorable Man Alive
where has your honor gone to
hidden with your self respect
Your words may seem trustworthy
But your acts do not;
I've Always known that,
actions speak louder than words,
because actions cannot lie,
Like your lips do.

I'm A Criminal.
I don't know what you're tired of
"...I'm tired of being treated like shit
by my own family..."

The Burning,
The Rind,

Michael, Son Of God
a day spent in red
terms
straight flat
slouching wrinkle
Covering in silence
Can't help but feel
Sorry.


Jonathan's Wish
whimsical prog
Excuses-
Tools-
A white seagull
rides the wind, it's
wings unfurled. Outwards
to sea, to die.

Medicate
Somehow releasing
finding relief in
what you see before
you
Only you


Winning A Race

Matthew 3:13
How can one
be confident,
if they have
nothing to
confide in?


Twenty-Four Hour Cycle
Now sleep consumes you
darkness fogs your room
closing your eyes
You try not to think
Questions, regrets,
all return.


A Maggot's Story
Drastic Decisions and
Hasty Hands
Torn between 2 worlds
Fettered to decide which
shall be home.
From Now on there will be nothing
Except Needs- No desire.
Efficient. Accurate. Eating
the rotting discards of Others.


Foreword
As words are shuffled into place with
Vaseline grip, certain shapes are formed.
Behind every letter lies exact meaning & reference;
however the words are presented in abstract ways,
to provide the reader a change to relate and interpret,
also to approach new areas of writing and creativity.

RONOLD M. BERCHING
Red for only now when paths diverging
Gray a case a part of strength
While the light of shades pulling in rays
Green my color of sober states
Purple lessons of Gaining Silence over loudness
Peach of skin dying without sun

A Night With Bob Segar
Taking a glass in hand pressing the
hardened sand to cherry lips,
releasing the liquid it slides down
the throat & esophagus,
coating insides with it's viscosity.
He stares downward into the empty cup.
What could he be pondering? Rest assured;
you don't want to know.

Sherry's Woe
feeble minded individual
driven by sex and greed
no power over animalistic sides
no control over one's own wants
no care for anyone else's.

The Dracolord
  what is art?
 what is trash?
where do I fall into these categories?
   taking away memories
 to replace with momentary pleasure.

St. Sebastian's Cross
   Do words exist
  if no one sees or hears them?
 or do they only exist
for their creator
in a separate world,
Since no one acknowledges them,
How can they exist?

What if, you have certain talents,
but you've grown weary of using them,
they're too much work.
Should you tap into these skills?
or not?

The Almanac Is Wrong
when I think of you I think of hate,
consuming my being inwards to
unquenchable flames. You have triggered
this cataclysm. Yet I am
the guilty party; of all sins. Killing
me so someone else can shine
through this skin.

Quitter
How long can I last? can I become
a worse person? who can I hurt? will this
make me a better person? what will?
Apologies are for the weak.
Congratulations, you've made it to level 2.

ATEAR
A sea of life is in your tear
as you tear it from your face
the organisms quickly die
just as fast as come to life,
they forget this place.

Where Is Waldo
is this ending foretold,
nullifying all prior actions,
no matter their course?
if so, what importance does
this choice hold?
surely only short term.
