The Magnitude of Love
The Magnitude of Love
Every sentiment has been written before,
Every ounce of love mentioned
In prayers and wishes;
Done in deeds and actions,
But we are born again
To say it over and over,
And I’ll never tire of repeating it -
Will never succumb to
A weariness that defies
All emotion!
They play and
I am humbled from
Their high vanta...

A Worlds End
Hello guys, I have a poem here that I have entered. It makes reference to space and distant galaxies and such, so I have included the latest track I have produced to go alongside it. It doesn't have any vocals to the track and is only there to add to the experience of the piece. I hope you like both the track and the poem.

I sit here, my quest stone - broke

A Crimson Respect
A Crimson Respect
A poppy – red bold in bloom
Hold’s sorrows head low and stooped,
The wilting pride of yesteryear now
Besieged by conflicting forms of politics;
Still bleeds the same as every death -
Every ‘Ypres’ since then,
They argue,
Instil the battle never dies on foreign fields
Or,
Upon the souls of Britain’s
Sacrificial lambs,

The Death of All Hope
The Death of All Hope
There is always the counterstrike,
A reply to anything and everything encouraged,
Every altruistic benevolent deed,
Any reference at all to gestures of good will,
It has always existed;- teasing and tarnishing a good many -
And make null and void - every positive thought,
No choice but to experience its wrath,
None understanding...

Such Fallacy As This
Such Fallacy As This
There is nothing but the obvious,
For from the obvious we’re born,
No more heroes,
No more true delinquents,
Just distasteful decomposing memes
With visions that tease a humanity
Bereft of skills!
Should we care,
Should we dare dream
That feelings remain
Intact after the keel haul,
Are we, like those we pay pass...

Chambers of Death
Chambers of Death
The duel,
Makes liars and cowards of each,
Sends us brave into quarrels bold of design,
And it’s very perplexing but oh so fulfilling,
Killing the gospel, for shilling and fare,
And we’re -
Daring the speak of the masculine soldier,
Not wanting neither the truth or the falsehood,
Battling the conscience for doubt or for ego;
Scann...

A Violent Snub
I know music with prose is not everyones cup of tea. But I do hope you give it a go.
A Violent Snub
So,
You believe in God do you?
And state that all existence is down to karma,
In your eyes, if you are the recipient of bad luck,
It is Karma.
For the child that had his face torn open
By a Machette in Rwanda, It is karma.
For the refugees of Iraq that cannot scream f...

To Dust
To Dust
How I walk,
How I stumble, fall
Then gather my senses,
Get up and stride again,
only,
only,
Now I see the dead before me,
Slouching, crawling,
Staring and vacant,
Their last look of fear
Tells all; Quatermass
Be once again upon us.
Ghosts,
Ghosts of Mars extinguish
All life, and I see them too,
The same vacant look upon
A grotesque and disfigured face,
A...

The Vile, The Disgusting
The Vile, The Disgusting
We have a new PM,
A burning of injustice fighter,
An unelected with assets that,
That wreak, of injustice.
But what does that mean to you,
What does it mean to a soldier?
Those willing to lay down
Their lives for freedom of country,
For freedoms of the Vile,
The Disgusting;
‘The Rich!’

Beyond the Bunker
Beyond the Bunker.
There is a contender - a threat to Man's
Disgraceful history born of self,
It doesn't belong to Id,
But seats itself firmly in a house
That comforts the lazy,
It totes a spliff of ignorance,
Getting high as it passes with
Kindred that have 'done'
With themselves,
Shining their eyes with only
Murder in mind for anyone
Keen to disturb their pret...

A Worthy Fellow
A Worthy Fellow
One day in deep regret,
With no affection upon myself –
I declared;
‘I have not done enough,
There is yet more I could do upon the world.’
Is that you my friend?
Is that you?
I shouldn’t have gone,
Shouldn’t have left,
Should have kept the two twenty-six
SLR rifle for mine own and robbed -
The four by two to drag...

The Dulled Compass
The Dulled Compass
Humanity has not recoiled,
It’s still gorging on new found psychologies,
New found violations that incarcerate a soul;
New found paradoxes,
New found sentences for innocent rejoice!
There is no rebuke,
No counterpoint - no random assertions,
No incriminations – just you, and I.
And you’re there,
Pitching a battle for authori...

The year was never meant to be,
Not this year – it cannot possibly,
For deceased is how I am -
Dead before the man,
At least, that’s how I thought!
Pain killers make me retch,
The taste repeating an event
Outside this loan of life,
And my God I am married with wife,
Children too - all of whom I adore,
Yet I cannot help bu...

Between Scenes
Between Scenes
Between scenes there are pauses to recollect,
To regroup, rekindle, revisit, admire and replay again,
But not for the reluctant actor!
The reluctant actor,
Never ‘acts’ the norms and values
Determined to ridicule life,
He’ll not conform to sadistic
Undertakings written with desires on wit,
She’ll not surrender the question –

So what are you dreaming,
What visions are keeping you entertained night, and day??
Loved ones, hated ones - winning ones - losing ones.
What’s on your mind?
That’s what ‘they’ want to know!
That’s the secret see, keeping it to yourself,
Keeping it all to yourself,
Your dreams, your fantasy’s, no matte...

Life's Own - Ill
Life’s Own - Ill
What World we could write,
If we valued all life,
A tenacious understanding
To protect all that’s living,
Be a human worth being!
Then what of death?
No longer a morbid curiosity,
But the celebration of what had chance,
What breathed and gave fruit,
What lived by the Sun, Stars and Moon.
What is here and now?

Apocalypse Song
Apocalypse Song
The human offering to war is quick,
Never fully thought through or negotiated,
It is the dullest of symposiums
Where bombs blast the ears,
The body, limbs and head,
And it’s always bought and paid for –
Always money to protract
Its insanity,
Always a labour force to
Manufacture the bullets,
Always a queue of fresh faces
To add...

Wood, has life,
Has meaning beyond the browns and greens,
And they talk,
Give alarm and signal – danger,
Animals thrive beneath -
Above and beyond and I;-
In my loneliness have met
With their solitude and know
The roots that tether,
The roots that bind to places
Outside of their belief,
Are never chosen for their own.

No Intellect of Mine
No Intellect of Mine
I am not so terrible,
I am not what you call ‘twisted,’
But I am disturbed,
I am touched by so much pain
That in some way,
I can only recognise it as love,
For love is not all roses and chocolates,
That’s if I am to believe those
Whom have wielded the whip!
Frightening!
So frightening I do not
Inflict so much pa...

Don’t surround yourself with negative people!
They say,
Tones of propaganda and brainwashing
Committed to the none committed
And,
Let’s take a good look at what
This cliché known as Earth expects,
Expects of each and every citizen,
Citizens born upholding compassion,
Now trained in each and every kind
Of killing.

She must be so tired –
Plotted all along
To move this way,
And she’s big,
Too big for rings – more-so
Her moons can never tether
Tails to secure her,
And yet,
She is not so free,
She twists and bows daily,
And she is neither cold or hot but both,
But if wanting for reason
To her existence I am sure,

Never A Lie, Never A Lie
Hello you guys, please see the art in this before labelling it grandiose.
Best wishes from Noetix.
Never A Lie,
Never a Lie!
I like it so – when things are natural,
When we don’t need ask what comes next between us,
When we latch each other’s gaze and never look away
When our union ventures the psychic realm -
And we know,
We know the love ...

Out there I found my calling,
Loud, voluminous shining
Singing bright and wide!
See the World they said,
See how the third World lives too,
For it is tougher than the
Ghetto speak of Manchester,
Rougher than the drug dens
Where the lens of an eye
Claims its prize of blood upon
Rooms filled with offerings
Of scag;

Breathing the same air
And walking the same ball
As they, tolerating this

While destroying everything;

And God save me from

History be written
As heresy for
We all change
The nearer personal
Outcomes we become.

A narcissi they call him,
They cannot see the neglected
Offering of youth,
More is to the point,
(it doesn’t serve their ego)!
He never knew -
His father,
His mother;
He once begged her to write
To him, write all she knew
About the world that rejected,
Alas,
She didn’t care,
Didn’t care at all!
He watched the...

I could grow my hair long,
Manifest a beard,
Wear a robe and don a crown,
But then,
I couldn’t be a gimp like that,
Taking it up the arse for all humanity
To try impress a father,
Alas, I would rather
Watch the world pray
To an absent God as,
End of days is now upon us.
I could protrude some horns,
Change the colour of my ...

It isn’t new,
Except if you’re at year zero
And we talked, really talked
Of having more,
But the thought
Of bringing another child
Another lifeform
To this world,
Sparked only nightmares
And fear for the bairns
Already born,
Let alone,
Let alone; a new soul.
Twenty-sixteen
Has been condemned already,
