valley stasiswatching stars through smoke and wreckage
another babylon burning down around us
wonder why such beauty is born from flame
with decimation eyes lit like the sun
we're only dreaming
feels like another day in the life again
within the chaos groping for security
dusk in the valley as hills turn to ash
met the world with fists made out of clay
only wanted to touch and be whole
falling down like flying
feels like another day in the life again
welcome arms wrap tightly about my head
dagger tongues wag and wilt away
resignation laugh and shake the grounds again
watch as babylon falls apart
another day another hour
one more year

grandmotheri don't remember your face

i only remember your shadow

turning away

three days long iupon a damp night
in late early hours
i paced about a modern hall
amongst what they'd all called
the finery of life,
through seas of chanel and versace.
watching,
for that is what i do.
i
watch
him.
adept at filtering out all other stimuli now
sic'd on the bright king of society
as if there were no other in the world.
he held court like a rock star
wearing a mask of handsome flirt
had fawns gathered about him
while his close-cropped gray hair belied his age
but no matter, they swooned like
perversions of salvador dali women
all the while i'm hunting him
achingly.

three days long xiif skies could open up
and drown me in cleansing rains
i swear he'd have never been the death of me
i swear i'd have never dared
wandered cross his zigzag path
and maybe i wouldn't be
sleepwalking after him
reliving rivers of curious wanton abandon
another lovesick minion
tied at the neck to his whims and desires

echoes of youth 1echoes of a youth abandoned
nowhere sentries stand
just barren flatland
skinned knees
broken heart

we, left behindonly when we echo sentiment
among a rosebed of human shadows
do we know loss

faces casting away
a summit of needling troubles
we spend so much time searching
for something tangible beyond our grasp
something real to hold to fast
there then do we lose our footing
and find ourselves tilling the soil
of irrepairable lives

three days long ixin all of my weaknesses
with hardly much strength left
i said i wanted to go home now
three days too long now
he told me it was too late now
that i should've known better
than to fuck with a monster
he grinned like a fiend then
and brushed my cheek softly
he covered my mouth with his
he tasted of wild champagne
his mouth devouring like wildfire
hands insistently clawing
like he was hungry and starving

i'd be lying if i said i was still
i'd be lying if i said i'd fought back
in all bright truth in dark night
i responded in kind

water and skyThis is what it's reduced to:
Looking for mercy in murky waters
Solidly holding frayed rope
To the skies and praying
That the winter season descends soon.

don't it make my brown eyescoppertone
still seeing still life in my eyes

live damnit live

simply put?

i am doing everything that i can.

beauty is relevent

i am not beautiful
but i know beauty

three days long vifingertips
covering contours of my plunging throat
in greedy digital detail.

he said,
"so soft skin
smooth
strong
and warm."

when he speaks
his words are intercourse
in poetic discourse.

.chaos.the world is off its axis.
that's why we keep falling down.

three days longit was just a moment.
a weak moment where i was just only
gazing at the madness of beauty embodied.
and as it were
i stared into the eye of the needle storm
where three days passing
became like three years in limbo
and my body filmed with nerve-sick sweat,
from within a shell of brittle flesh
i could only watch with 72 hour eyes .

'll be the death of meif the heavy-lidded oceanic eyes don't get me,
the dream of flight will.

aye, geminiwe're another frightened monster,
gliding on the wings of suppressed fury,
smaller than the needle,
greater than the atom,
and split down the center
one,
two and three.

dear kidno one's keeping an eye on you, i've seen. you play out here in the dirt. the suns too hot and the asphalt keeps calling your name--they travel too fast on this surburban street. you have no friends, you don't socialize correctly. your studies don't interest you. nothing does. you have no direction.
you live entirely in your head.
you wish you had a father. you wish you had a mother. you wish you had a brother. like you used to have years ago.
but all of those are just characters made up by someone else, you know. blood related but none of them really seem to care.
i've been counting those headlights with you. thank god you know nothing

4 ur love i'd destroy the sky

scathing bullets on angel dust
of stars blown to smithereens within your eyes
when you look at me
the galaxy obliterates itself
and i crumble to the floor, slip thru the cracks
your igneous eyes lit true upon my skirting form
delighted you grin like cats eyes on a mouse
a sheen that defies water and diamonds
and just as venomous
hooked addicted like a helpless junkie
savoring the psychotic string section
dizzying on grated nerves vivisected
i'd destroy the sky and all it's havens
to be submitted to your madman means
unable to control the scream of ecstatic voltage
feeling as though i’m standing in the middle
of hot high tide sped up on the 405
the moment you touch me
pulling me through these seas
laughing unstoppably in the confusion
ignited glittering insanity in your love

I love the words and images you evoke. Kind of un natural and gritty. "savoring the psychotic string section
dizzying on grated nerves vivisected
i'd destroy the sky and all it's havens"
Great inspiring stuff. :]
