Poet Introduction
My name is old man adeus, I took this name after I forgot my own in my path to bring the world back to the light. (Real world me just wants to know if I should try and do this or give up and go home)

The thing that you face
The thing that you see is a Caliban
parts of 2 creatures, different feet and hands
a creature created by vile combination
so dark and so horrid to any imagination
The creature you meet is a Caliban
parts of 2 creatures, different feet and hands
it talks as though its voice box has been flushed with sand
and most of these creatures were created by man
The creature you face is a Caliban
parts of 2 creatures, different feet and hands
It will throttle your throat, and eat as much as it can
Why the fuck are you in the same room as a Caliban
parts of 2 creatures, different feet and hands
a creature created by vile combination
so dark and so horrid to any imagination
The creature you meet is a Caliban
parts of 2 creatures, different feet and hands
it talks as though its voice box has been flushed with sand
and most of these creatures were created by man
The creature you face is a Caliban
parts of 2 creatures, different feet and hands
It will throttle your throat, and eat as much as it can
Why the fuck are you in the same room as a Caliban

I wrote this for my sister today, she had a baby boy about 2 hours ago, my sister was told she would never have children.
This universe is your place and your time
this day proves that line
I have watched the problems, the splits and nightmares
I'm sorry I hurt you when I ran to the other side of the world without care
But you are now the universe of one small being who will love you triple just for me
and I will love you triple because you gave us all him
Welcome to the first day of the rest of your lives
it makes my smile so high and wide
because...

My life is my diamond
I look myself in the mirror
critical every day
I don't see myself as wasted
But I know a better man in my heart doth stay
So I'll keep pushing and try make it better
Ill polish my diamond each and every day
The saddest part to me is that some of you will giggle
but I promise you now that's not a euphemism for my wing dingle
I will stand up proud when I am done
either grey and old or young laying cold
my crime will be being undone
by life and time probably lived in rhyme but now I'm left with none
The greatest love affair you...

untitled
I'll rip and I'll tear and I'll burn that place down
My mind body and soul are so sick of that town
the place full emptiness and lonely old souls
where everything keeps bringing you back to its fold
I have never held sickness for the place I call home
complete detachment from the roots that are my own
The road can save me and set me free
The place that I return to has never been the place I want to be
Where I am right now you see is where I want to be
To watch you sleep, wake, stretch from your eyes to your feet
then roll your ass...
My mind body and soul are so sick of that town

I forgot and I'm sorry
We just had a day that I will never forget
Everything went upside down and fell completely to shit
And now you lay here next to me naked except
I feel like I'm unworthy of the affection you give
I forgot you were amazing today
please never forgive me for that moment my mind strayed
To darker places made to rip us apart
Even though it's known to both of us so deep in our hearts
35 Days till I go away and the 35 before those
I broke my heart every day
I never want to leave you, by your side I wish to stay
I can see it in your eyes...

The pumpkins prayer
The pumpkins walk from dusk till dawn
to settle on new pastures
Hiding till the sun is gone
Then moving even faster
If only we had wings
said the pumpkin king
Or the horses of our headless lords
but instead we walk and run and flock
like a nightmare hoard
What if we made our bodies into kites
and have the birds pick us up
Said a pumpkin blessed with intelligence But little foresight
That we way we can travel through the day
with out discovery's fright
So when the world slumbered
they found any lumber and strung...
to settle on new pastures
Hiding till the sun is gone
Then moving even faster
If only we had wings

Or the horses of our headless lords
but instead we walk and run and flock
like a nightmare hoard
What if we made our bodies into kites
and have the birds pick us up
Said a pumpkin blessed with intelligence But little foresight

At my funeral
How do you feel today?
Is the world your oyster
or is your life dismay
Or are you looking at it from both sides
Smiling and suffering equally each day
I lived my life on all sides of the equation
but happiness is never something that wants to stay
And yet I smile and push myself on
what other choice do I have
My life's not the important one
Its the ones who remember me who have that say
The feeling of growing older is creeping in
and I start thinking about my life cataloging every sin
So that if I'm wrong and the rapture...
Is the world your oyster
or is your life dismay
Or are you looking at it from both sides
Smiling and suffering equally each day
I lived my life on all sides of the equation

The life
The scarecrows stake is left alone
the scare-er of crows has left his home
to wander the lands and fields of gold
until his roaming brings him home
The Pumpkin's fate is more of a moan
From amazing carriage to mouse dinner and home
One day he was looked at as elegant and divine
Now he had mice teeth gnawing at him all the time
The filthy old soldier walks back from war
And a stubborn young woman screams from her door
"You smell worse than a camels breath"
The soldier replied "yes most do in camps of death"

What are you if not alive
The dirt the roots had crept through
the roads I couldn't get too
The chances past me by
and the good times that left me out
I say fuck them
I'm not just another name on a registry
we are not just another number on a board
We are faces, we are love
better than all those above
who sold their souls and all our lives
for riches and plastic wives
I say fuck them all
Dragging my own name through the dirt
just so I can spit on yours
I am the tragedy, we are the left behind
but we will burn you down in ways you will...

Pain
I'M OUT FOR BLOOD
this hot night will end colder than it should
nothing more than ripped up soul of another will please me more than any woman could
You won't see when the darkness falls
for we are the shadows of the light creeping over you walls
dark armies emerge from the places deep inside
the end to an internal battle and victory is mine
Accept your fate for the love another
but Ill be honest you may never recover
from a nightmare orchestrated
by someone you will never see
I could be anyone...

tall tales
Sit down my friends
we have so much time
so let me regale you with songs and rhyme
stories and fables and tales of blood
to turn your stomach as quick as it could
I tell you the story of the flashing blade
so covered in blood red light it gave
but it exploded into pieces the day it killed a babe
The warrior holding it got sucked into the blast
the last thing going through his mind was his ass
Or of lady Dementera the queen of the witches
a goddess so I'm told and one of the wickedest riches
She tore a mans soul from his...

attention
I cant control myself like most other masterminds
my life is bleeding out destruction but I cant help but smile
I try to be my own lock and key
but sometimes sufferings too much fun for me
I cant hold back my wants, my needs
I'm craving torture and its torturing me
I've never felt such a deep need for tyranny
turning others to darkest form of blasphemy
But the sickest thing is when I lay my head down to sleep
There is an angel breathing just about an inch from me
her skin is soft, my blood runs cold
How much beauty can an evil...
