My name's Tom, these are some scrawlings from the recesses of my cavernous head. I hope you don't think they're too contrived, pretentious or lame. Say hello, criticism is very welcome.

The Earth Is Evil, We Won't Need To Grieve For It Pendulum pangs, Lucifer's fangs. Pain will end. But probably not. Each step is closer to the comfort in the cemented thought that will not be ever. Falling from rock. Pulse quickening then slowing, Heartbeat slowing then quickening. #life never made sense, commence o' black hole, o' mighty and merciful doom. #life as spoken through a gramophone, underwater with acid filled goggles. Emotionally deaf, dumb and brute. I seep bad blood. I'll tempered and vile. Sowing poison. Welcome Death, I ride Your horse.

    Ghost My mind fell down a hole. Deep and dark, It won't get back up. Wraiths slink by, wretches seep through. This hole is a labyrinth. No minotaur, just me. And sometimes trying to deal with myself, is too big a gamble. I don't mean to dote, I just need an antidote.

      SMOTHER If I could only smother myself in nostalgia, never clean myself from my memory's sludge. Everything in the past is far brighter than it was in the present. Everything in the past represents everything I was. Everything, always, always, always. Youth is wasted on the young. Will I expire looking back? I wish I could look forward. The present rots and erodes at my feet. I want to jump from the cliff it creates.

        Judgement I signed up to this to get my poetry off the pages of a book, and into a writing community. Yet all I see are Jesus freaks and One Direction lovers. And the top posts are all Twitter worthy. Still, I suppose I haven't seen it all yet.

        I think once you manage to get through the dregs there are some real gems to be found

          Sonnet 666 A sunny mire dowsed in the sun's warm rays, A sunny couple travel a beaten path. A baleful storm pursues their new born days. A path chosen in haste, idiopaths. Ignorant to travellers before them, They revel in each other's ritual, They need nothing else to occupy them. Nothing material, just spiritual. The blizzard has caught up with them, Sun turns to red and bleeds out so forlorn. Beaten path always leads to the same fen, Their new born steps have fast become stillborn. Stagnant surroundings have dealt all their wrath, Fork in the road, they take separate paths.
