-
Drown out the drone to the crackling of smoldering cloves;
-
Why do you sit there with your dark eyes blazing,
-
Darkness leans in to kiss closed eyelids
weary from watching the world
-
Fickle clouds roll in and out of view
of sinister caverns as bitter winds say:
-
Burn the haunting image stitched upon her naked eyes-
emblazoned photographs of cyanide curl and whisp away,
-
-
I hear footsteps in the rain, but maybe I’m insane
-
I shatter my reflection and crawl amongst the mirror’s fragments
-
Caught in the lights of big-city splendor,
Wrapped in synthetic webs of veracity;
-
Let’s drink pinot noir in languages I can’t pronounce
out of little paper cups
-
Hear the tell-tale whispers of lovers’ hearts
br
-
Rosy petals curl
in lacy whirls of noxious smoke.
-
-
Tear the frayed blanket of security-
And throw it all away.
-
…Where petal slippered pixies dance with carefree fervid passion,
And crystal coated lilies sparkle in a blissful fashion;
-
Invest in love and you'll drown in debt.
-
Thunderous waves are crashing,
bashing,
-
I'm forgotten to the world, alone and lost
There's nothing to comfort me.
-
I edge the cold metal closer,
Caressing the inside of my wrist.
-
People will suffer and people will dream,
All your miseries are not what they seem.
-
and our days are surely numbered,
we may start counting on our fingers,
-
-
Sometimes I look into my mirror
And ask, “who are you?”
-
Trickle through my veins, connect me with the seas.
Fall downward from the heavens, stiffen, and freeze.
-
These illusions from the past are making me senile
Voices in my head say I'm in denial.
-
Love me today
Hate me tomorrow
-
-
-
Angels with filthy souls,
demons with hearts of gold,
-
Bury me in memory
release me from my agony,
-
-
-
I wonder why most human eyes
Can’t see such special things,
-
It’s been six months,
You’re still not mine.
