Closed Circuit – 25th March 1986

March 25, 1986December 18, 2023 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Cameras in the corners
Follow you through the hall
Watch your every move
At my every call
Watch you when you sleep
Watch you when you eat
Watch you turn on
Watch you in complete
My perversion
Closed circuit TV
Watching you
Watching me

Face To Face – 19th March 1986

March 19, 1986December 18, 2023 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Face to face
From place to place
Man with two heads
Contradicted what he said
Face to face
Two-faced

Reality – 17th March 1986

March 17, 1986December 18, 2023 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Is it really real?
Is this how I feel?
Have I done it right?
Have I done it wrong?
Reality’s all right
If it doesn’t last long
My name is on their list
Does reality really exist?

Gave Up The Ghost – 16th March 1986

March 16, 1986December 18, 2023 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Ladies and gentlemen
Hold your glasses for a toast
For the man
Who gave up the ghost
Left it all behind
Looking for new things to find
Always wanted the most
He gave up the ghost

Horizons – 15th March 1986

March 15, 1986December 18, 2023 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Look beyond your means
Look into your dreams
Go in search of space
Broaden your horizons

Filth – 13th March 1986

March 13, 1986September 2, 2024 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Love is, love is
Love is, love is
Love me cos I’m dirt
Love me til you hurt
Love me til you bleed
Your filth is what I need
Love is, love is
Love is, love is
Love is barbed wire
Filth is my desire

2nd Sep 2024 – Submitted to Ragtag Daily Prompt – barbed wire

Good Guys Always Win – 11th March 1986

March 11, 1986December 17, 2023 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

I watch my television
The bad guys don’t get a thing
Why is it, oh why is it?
The good guys always win

Identity Crisis – 10th March 1986

March 10, 1986October 5, 2024 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Identity crisis
Who am I?
What am I?
Urban guerrilla
Sniper, killer
Woman, man, spy
Who am I?
What am I?

Identity crisis
Empty room
Empty head
Foreign instincts
Being bred
Kick in the teeth
Violent crime
Identity crisis
Life is time
Urban guerrilla
Sniper, killer

Slipway – 7th March 1986

March 7, 1986June 2, 2024 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Slipped through my fingers
Like a slimy snake
I’m standing on the slipway
Standing in the wake
On slippery turns
The pressure increases
You fall away
As the slipway releases

Sorry – 6th March 1986

March 6, 1986December 17, 2023 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

I’m always saying sorry
Me and my big mouth
Every time I open it
The wrong words come out
I’m always saying sorry
Even when I’m quiet
Even with my mouth shut
I can’t get it right
I’m sorry, I’m sorry for everything I’ve done
I’m sorry, I’m sorry for ruining your fun
