The Butcher

Colorblind, undiscerning, he sees not love, he sees not hate.
In the end he’ll collect us all, he does not discriminate.
Sinners, saints, rich or poor, men without conscience, she who atones,
He butchers paupers and peasants and harvests kings from their thrones.
Worldly possessions be damned. He is not enticed by raw lust.
He is incorruptible, methodical, moral and just.
There is nothing certain in this world, but in Death we can trust.
He anticipates impartially our expiration date.
We are identical in his eyes, merely flesh upon bone.
Our destiny is equal, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

Beautifully Broken

She is beautifully broken,
A stunning mosaic of shards,
Her undoing was foretoken,
She is beautifully broken.
Her fate is sealed but unspoken,
Her psyche is a house of cards,
She is beautifully broken,
A stunning mosaic of shards.

Behind the Mask

You can’t see me crying behind the mask.
You don’t know I’m sighing behind the mask.

Adorned to society’s standards,
For I am trying behind the mask.

I embellish with a painted smile,
Endlessly lying behind the mask.

My performance so believable,
You have ceased prying behind the mask.

The girl you know is a fallacy,
And she is dying behind the mask.

Feathered Brushstrokes

Feathered
Brushstrokes flutter across the sky,
Traveling on a breeze,
Destination
Unknown.

Burn It to the Ground

I will burn it to the ground
If you won’t say you love me.
You’ve never seen the crazy
By which I’ve been crowned.

Reducing life to an ember mound
On a serial arson spree.
I will burn it to the ground
If you won’t say you love me.

Just three words or I am bound
To make this thing get nasty,
I will dispense carnage vastly,
I’ll hunt you like a hellhound.
I will burn it to the ground.
