With wings of steel

I cannot fly away with you

So leave me here alone

as I drag my wings along.

With a heart made of stone

I cannot love you like you wish me too

So leave me here alone-

As I listen to the slow beat of the

Living in this stage of wonder
with wanton lust I ponder
mysteries for the investigation
imagination dancing in the atmosphere
a dance we dance somewhere out there
a closeness yet so far away
the unknown beckons calls from afar
the world of possibilities are daunting
your secret

Ode to the wisdom of the weary

With eyes wide open and hearts closed off

Who thinks of love with thoughts so dreary-

who knows exactly when to let go.

ode to the ones not willing nearly

To ever say anything other than

                  Crisp Ecstasy.

    Consuming Devouring Delighting

       Smiles Eyes Screams Tears

   Consuming Decaying Fighting

               Me. alone

             he is not here.

        A fierce storm invades

    from where his warmth denies.

   Watching his words fall like lies

   his stoic mask falls to the ground

   eyes betraying with a single tear.

  I close my eyes so it's only a

Slumbering trees

The world awakens

But the sun don’t shine-

The moon sets fire to the world

A glow of silvery power.

The river ahead me

Beats at the ground

But can’t replace the warmth

Everything so cold around me

Perched upon the swings and slides

Children both; one hides one finds.

Sluggish children no where to be found

where metal and iron shoots from the ground.

and best of all the screams of glee;

from the child upon his knees

He closes his eyes and counts to three.

Thinking where is he?

I've been one to run with the moon
so the world can't see the undoing
that has
become me.

Barbed edges frayed linings;
coupled with lipstick traces
spent gazes
is what comprises my countenance
these days.

I stumble by
while the world sleeps
remembering home
but all I long

At the back of some diner
out in Etoile Texas
Jimmy plays an out-of-tune Stella
(the kind Montgomery Ward once sold
for twenty bucks a pop).
After a swig of Busch Light
from a red plastic cup
he sings “Your Cheatin' Heart.”
There's usually a few folks around
when he holds court.
You'll

I feel the heat rise up from hell

Breaking through the concrete street where I lie

Reminding me of the perpetual pain I will endure if I do not wake up

The ground starts to crumble around me

Leaving me with nowhere to go

I feel their claws tear up my insides

I look down

As my hands start trembling

I can feel the world crumbling around me

Am I dreaming?

Or have I lost all control?

Visions of black snow

Feeling of blood slowly dripping down my chest

Are these eyes no longer mine?

Has the silence once again taken me over?

I will never again see this world in

Die in my arms

This heart of lust

Travel with me

To the never ending

Kiss me once more

Before we vanish

Cover my soul with darkness

To hide my scars

I wish we could be together

Can't we just hide from reality?

Live
