What’s “edgy” in a poem? It’s not as though  
I shoot someone or launch a missile swarm,  
And say, “I think this moment wants a poem!”

Do you remember, days of innocence;  
To gaze above at stars in firmament;  
With wonder of heart that knows not vengeance?  
Living the summer days without torment.  
I took the one way ticket to fight for Home;  
Left you alone among the fallen leaf;  
That broke under foot, my dreams to roam;  
Together with you, my love and my grief.  
I build the walls of my winter garden;  
From the stones cast down in a ruined life;  
Where nothing grows in dirt ice will harden;  
As the flower of my hate blooms in strife.  
Bury my bones forgotten in the snow;  
When the winds blow, of me no one will know.

Comrade! Share your drink with me by the fire;  
Of love lost, and battles won down to the wire;  
We’ll drown our life in sorrow’s bitter cup;  
To fill the urn with ash fresh from the pyre.

What is good in life? Wine, whores and fighting –  
That is why I arise in the morning.  
Disagree, but such are the salty cucks;  
Whose lives of ease I submit are boring.

Keep to a sense of fun, and the pleasure;

“As capsuleer,” you say to me, “this means that I’ll do as I want, to buy out men and rule the stars and in the souls of foes I’ll haunt,” but really, friend, if you were me, and saw your facial tells I caught, you’d likely sit on down a moment; give yourself another thought.

Or two. Or three. Man, I don’t know. Iambic rhyme is tough, although in rhythmic verse I’m not adverse to cooking up some inane stuff. My judgment flows like river streams to call you on your silly bluffs and metaphors for egger scores where blood of men is not enough.

A home,  
A hearth,  
A place to laugh.  
A debt,  
A door,  
A broken floor.

Memories of my  
Belonging flow like water across  
Sand, slow and dirty, sinking away.  
Life has long been different and the  
Fields I once wandered now lie withered and  
Dead.  
I cannot remember.

A sister,  
A brother,  
A missing lover.  
A mother,  
A father,  
But, would you rather?

Distant birds circle above  
Me. Once I was raised among them, now I watch them through my  
Rage.  
For a City built of dreams,  
Heaven has been good to me, in its way.

I apologise for putting you all through that. Decent rhythm is not one of my many talents. Inspiration strikes at will however!

A distant night swallowed up in the endless river of prickling light.  
Life is a continuously pained existence made up of the endless fight.  
Yet the struggle is as much a part as the comfort of a lovely sight.  
In the end it is seen cooperation is the true sense of might makes right.

Warlords, mutineers, pirate queens and dewy tears.  
Baseliners line up to die while we fly, eternally lie.  
‘We warn them’ it is said as every single one winds up dead.  
But if we were true we would rue our patterns of recklessness hitherto.

For only the reflection is left, death after death.  
Myriad parts of memories assembled eternally.  
Some think this is why we are left bereft.  
I think I am whole, but an entirely different soul.

How could you do this?  
She was your child.  
But men and  
women in robes  
Said that your girl  
Is just a vessel.

The mind it has  
Is not yet formed.  
Memories of another  
Will flood her brain.

One who was  
Will be again.  
The one who might  
Will never be.

They did not know  
All seemed well.  
Memories once saved  
Are now lost.  
The potential mind  
Is also gone.

Something new  
Both but neither  
Lives in this shell.

Which daughter  
Did you want?  
The one born  
The one restored  
Or the one who is?

Blah blah they go
