A Special Kind of Hell
I lost again today
waiting for angels to fall down from heaven
I lost my way again
(there is no way)
and the facts have not changed
My heart
is wrapped up in a special kind of hell
You raise a toast
a poisoned glass
and wish me well
and
nothing seems true coming from you
Shut me out, draw me in
and pick a reason why
why not
whatever
Conspire to make an enemy of me
(a role cast sight unseen)
My heart
is wrapped up in a special kind of hell
You raise a toast
a poisoned glass
and wish me well
and
with friendship down, nothing is sound
One drink simply won’t do
I need numb through and through and then
some more, dear
I’m twisted from this head and seeing red and
facts that cannot change
My heart
is wrapped up in a special kind of hell
You raise a toast
a poisoned glass
and wish me well
and
the coldest hell is a wishing well (this)

The Flame

The Flame
Arrive through gilded doors
Approach the lusty noise
of bizarre girls and boys
Invited
slightly bored
"Kiss me again"
She feels her blood run blue
wishing it wasn’t true
taking hands I withdrew
pulling me far from view
"Kiss me again"
Departing from all mores
wayfaring upper floors
She leads a slow parade
towards a chance delayed
"Miss me again"
Beneath one thousand count
she challenges my doubt
My fears are not misplaced
only, somehow erased
"Love me again"

Seven Reasons Why

Seven Reasons Why
I’m stumbling through badlands
fists, hits and stone
Seven reasons why
Because sorrow doesn’t need a season
Because faith lays waste to reason
Tired (recovery from following)
Bait, hook, cry
Fears multiplied
Seven reasons why
Because seeds of fantasy grew to block the daylight
Because a backwards plan is my unclaimed birthright
Tired (recovery)
I’m cutting ties that bind
I’m putting down expired lies
Because my heaven doesn’t lie beyond the clouds
and all attempts to tear it down are further from me now
(and I’m tired) recovery from following

The One You Want
Born into infinite space
Father’s gone
Mother’s a trace
Create the world
Deny your fear
when teardrop rains are forecast here
Arm yourself with pain and regret
The one you want
you haven’t felt yet
Their eyes: alive
Their love: yours all the time
Starving days
Dreaming to feed
Out of bounds: substance for need
Create someone
a seamless disguise
a hollow shell
a feast for the eyes
Arm yourself with pain and regret
The one you want
you haven’t felt yet
Their eyes: alive
Their love: yours all the time

Fall

Fall
Will you have me?
In, out, everything?
Should I trust you
with my remaining few?
It only matters because I want you
Can we really
live this luxury?
Will you kill me
and leave me nothing?
It only matters because I want you

Whisper Tones
Touched by cold
Beneath grey skies, we play
in this town
a melancholy maze
Blush on white
and jewelry in the form of eyes
that plead for something
true
and more beautiful
than anything
that we’ve ever known before
A flowing canopy surrounds my view
freckles and cream
the sky above me
Whisper tones
falling from your lips and smile
are feeding something
true
and more beautiful
than anything
that I’ve ever known before

Hamlet and Vale
Never present silence wakes
in the absence of our entourage
And all I have
is all I want
you kissing me
kissing me
kissing me
