She sells love with chains on her ankles.





The sun scorches and hits her sleepy eyes,
The window near  her bed shows her the afternoon skies...

She looks for a cigarette on the bedside shelf,
"Another night was survived" she thinks to herself...

She slept in her heels, like the last hundred days,
Usually the clothes fall off in a flash, but the footwear stays...

That last sick bastard didn't tip her that well,
Her brows frown, her temples start to swell...

She walks out of that hell hole, out in the wind and the sun,
This is all the freedom she can get, her smile has just begun...

Though she walks in the street like any other,
Her feet are heavy, chained by her pimp and godmother...

She eats what little money can buy,
With a side helping of stares from passers-by...

As dusk arrives, it starts again,
She takes a few hits to numb the pain...

They come one-by-one, and have their way,
She lies quiet and half-alive, with nothing to say...

She was traded into this world which allows no amends,
She lies underneath him & dreams of the day when it all ends...  

Carpe Diem



I keep my thoughts locked inside, as I sit beside the brook,
There are people with judging minds in every place I look…

I look to the east, and see a flower which will one day slowly die,
That flower is seizing a day and smiling before living out its lie…

Is there a way to lock these sights, these smells, these sounds so complete,
Is there a way to sit alone and witness the cosmic theatre replete…

Walking on the grass, my thoughts take me to a place so pristine and pure,
I look around at the pandemonium, the noise of greed and gold’s lure…

The hunger for more, sickens me, is the end that near?
Pointless gathering of resources, is death the only legitimate fear?

Where are we going is the question oft’ asked, but do we really know?
Can we sit in wisdom’s chair and have a real answer to show…

Is Carpe Diem just a phrase, or can we really seize the day?
Experiences so rich abound this life, we aren't very different from that flower in more than a way…

I die every day if I don’t live out the day, I die if I live for tomorrow,
I die if I miss out on life, and there is no bigger sorrow…
