Fuel and frost in potters field
their differences long since revealed
recognize the lonely fleeting flame
darkened by the freshly frozen rain.

Her

Maiden love

Casting out dark chards of a broken heart

Pure heart falling off edges of stunning love

She flutters into the cold caves of clouds.

Loves scent gone!

Virgin walls fall calling out his name

No name returns. All alone tears salt her shame

About the way I rub his back 

He likes his life in order

And his shoes all in a line

I suppose I have gotten better

About always being on time.

No slips no mistakes

For the grace is

You might think that you’re so happy
and so pleased with what you been doin’
But I swear some where somehow
It will all come down to ruin

Right now you’re singing
a low sweet love song
but I believe you’ll change your tune
And you’ll see you done me wrong

I love you your body so perfectly bound
Your neck burns feverishly between my lips like ambers aglow

I am the wolf in sheep’s clothing

Slowly I stalk this death

My tongue sweating with the desires of life’s meats.

Playing coyly but in the end: It’s the gun – I’ve met
