Come To Me It Said

July 31, 2017 Matthew Tonks Leave a comment

Come to me it said,

the demon beneath my bed,

let me show you what darkness I have hidden inside,

then together we will join,

together we will spill the blood of the innocent,

together we will bathe in their innards,

together we will share immortality,

as if it was nothing,

as if it was common place.

Come to me it said,

the demon beneath my bed,

come to me and see,

that no one,

ever,

is truly free,

of me.

Stipulated By The Passing Of Time

July 30, 2017 Matthew Tonks Leave a comment

Passing light,

fading star,

glowing embers,

that was my heart,

distance breaks,

the tides of time,

goblets full,

the blood is mine,

the clues all point,

to the killers knife,

with prints aplenty,

most of them mine,

the intent was simple,

the perfect plan,

the perfect riddle,

wrapped in the darkness,

for all to see,

staged for an audience,

dressed up for a show,

the answer was hidden in plain sight,

for my killer was me.

I Am Tomorrow, You Are Yesterday

See me smile,

my teeth,

shine in the darkness of your being,

I am unlike anything,

I am more,

be ready,

be prepared,

sin negates sin,

blood washes over blood,

bleed for me,

wash it away,

cleanse my sin,

feed my soul,

renew my forever,

as your tomorrow,

will never come.

What Awaits Around The Corner Of Ones Mind

July 28, 2017 Matthew Tonks 5 Comments

Simplistic days,

darker nights,

my life seems full,

and empty,

what waits around the corner,

what lurks in the shadows of ones mind,

twisted,

distorted,

time is no friend,

you hunt,

you stalk,

you whisper,

you stand,

breathe me in,

and I’ll burn you,

from the inside..:

Notice My Name Written In Blood

July 27, 2017 Matthew Tonks 4 Comments

Wishful thinking,

seeded with hate,

my sins,

my mistakes,

played before me,

played for all to see,

bitterness grows,

which cannot be sedated,

I want my vengeance,

the guilty,

the innocent,

all,

and none,

forever,

and a day,

what is mine,

is mine,

what is yours,

is what I’ll repay,

in rivers of blood,

in seas of red,

so come my child,

come my one,

it’s your turn to shed.

Do Not Resuscitate The One You Hate

July 26, 2017 Matthew Tonks 1 Comment

Pass from one side to the other,

across the endless sea of space,

the vast emptiness,

that is between me,

and you,

but I do not fear it,

I do not shy away,

I fight,

forward,

pushing back that which tries to stop me in my tracks,

I am determined,

I am resolved,

nothing is without,

nothing is within,

blood,

sweat,

shit and tears,

I’ll shed them,

I’ll spill them,

I’ll bathe in it all,

and in the end,

when the night comes for you,

I’ll be waiting,

I’ll be watching,

I’ll be,

you.

Stay Within The Lines – Day Seven

July 25, 2017 Matthew Tonks Leave a comment

Today is about motivation, not starting new things, but continuing things started that have yet to be finished. Today is motivation to do something for myself, do something I want, life runs quickly past us, our time spent on our own ventures is little to nothing, when we’re young, life is before us, life is something to grasp, but, life gets in the way, things happen, work takes over, suddenly you’re old, you’ve done none of the things you wanted, you’ve done little for yourself. The years that come after will rush by, and then, where will the time be, where will your dreams be?

Life is ours to live, live it for your dreams.

Day seven, one week since I started this trip into unemployment, a tip I knew would eventually take place, a trip, I am now thankful for, I have come to grips with the change, I haven’t grasped what to do with it all yet. But, it’s going to be fun to find out.

Winds blow us down roads we never chose, we let it take us, without fighting, but the fight, the chance, to dream something real, to make it with your hands, to achieve, well, that’s a dream worth attempting, but, how many of us just dream and dream, and do little to make it reality?

Making Mine Something Wrong

July 25, 2017 Matthew Tonks Leave a comment

It was darkness,

it was void of light,

I felt it,

I touched the space in between,

and was then pulled back,

to this place,

this place of feeling,

of pain,

I wanted to go back,

I needed to,

but they kept me alive,

on machines,

doing what they thought was right,

when I all I wanted,

was for them to let me die.

Stay Within The Lines – Day Six

July 24, 2017 Matthew Tonks Leave a comment

Monday used to mean something once upon a time, last week in fact. It was the beginning of the working week, jobs needed to be prepared for the week, boxes needed to be ticked, and rosters needed to be arranged for the various shops. All that ended for me on Tuesday afternoon, when I left my former workplace for the final time. A lot of things have traveled through my head since that moment, but none of it regret, I don’t regret any time I put into the work I did, I don’t regret any of the blood I spilt, or the sweat I dropped. I don’t regret one thing, not one, for without yesterday there is no tomorrow, and tomorrow is a brighter day for what I have become.

It’s been six days now since I joined the ranks of unemployed humans, six days is not enough time to get used to not having some ungodly job to do on someone else’s dime, but for someone who’s never really taken the time to wined down in the ten years, it’s a start.

Tine, our bitter rival, we fight against you constantly, with no hope of ever winning, we fight on, towards the horizon, in hope that one day, when we’re able, we can reap what we have built, of course by then, most of us are closer to being in the ground to enjoy it, so strive for your dreams, sacrifice your future, be who you wish to be, not who society judges you to be.
