Malfunction

Shutting the systems,
Closing the mind,
Kill organisms,
Thoughts unwind.

Close the vessels,
And the valves,
Cripple the muscles,
Limbs devolve.

Snap the cycle,
Activate defences.
Turn on psycho,
Sever the senses.

Matter condenses,
Slay the soul,
Cut the nonsense,
Cloud the goal.

Meteorite Storm

The meteorites soared ahead,
Leaving behind a trail of electric blue,
As the spider wove its silvery web.

The leaves rustled in the breeze,
The eye stared down at me,
As the stars shone with all their glory.

Nocturnals creatures,
Out they came,
Awoken form their slumber to hunt.

The clouds crept across the sky,
The dew glistened on the grass,
As the meteorites soared ahead.

Kiss, Kiss

Driving down the highway,
In her brand new Porsche,
Big sunglasses on,
Her silk scarf blowing in the wind.

Her jewelled hands,
Clutch the leather wheel,
Her big white teeth,
Grin through her big red lips.

The brakes malfunction,
And the car flips,
A cloud of dust and dollars,
Her silk blood stained scarf billows in the wind.

Doppelgänger

He’s stolen my looks,
And read all my books,
He’s stolen my clothes,
Yes the basics too!
My underwear raided,
He’ll need smaller sizes,
He’s copied my walk,
And now knows how I talk,
He’s mirrored my hair,
And captured my flare,
He’s worked for my build,
But he isn’t as skilled,
He’s got my posture,
And pulls it off well,
My shoes he has,
That he will never fill,

My identity stolen,
It is time for a change,
Let’s shake things up,
