Dante Blades Nov 2010
Beauty
Perfection
Wasted

I was ready to give myself to her
My heart
She cut and pasted

I was a simple prop
To occupy her time
If I was to leave
She would not mind

It haunts me
Her Child-like stare
Every strand
Of her red hair

Every plan
Every smile
It's been more than just
Alittle while

I'm not an artist
I can see her unattraction
Stemming from
My lack of action

Blistering boils of
Lethargic lust
In the end
Is there no one left
To trust?
Dante Blades Nov 2010
Little particles of dust
Exposed by a sliver of light
Dancing to the rhythm of the room

You could stop smiling
And they would slow
Slow to the motion
To the emotion

Moving in sync
Chaos personified
Little universes
Only exist in the light

Moving
Speaking
Shouting
The language of god

Speaking from an empty script
Dancing the steps flawlessly
Choreographed by existence

Beautiful

Pointless

Existence
Dante Blades Nov 2010
Licenses to ****
Permit to lie
It's illegal
To see through another's eye

Unified opinion
On touchy subjects  
God has forsaken you
Like other earthly objects

The lame
Are not to blame
But the smug
And proud
Listening to themselves talk
Alittle too loud

*** May sell
Alas it's a ticket to hell
******* and romance
Are in less demand
A bullet fired into the air
Knows not where to land

Band together
Like atoms
In a molecule
In the hand that pulls the lever

The answer to life is scribed on a note card
In a locker left unlocked
Left ajar
In the rain
Dante Blades Nov 2010
Waltzing to the rhythm of a steady heart
1,2,3  1,2,3
Growing tired of the same old shtick
1,2,3  1,2,3
Following her lead
1,2,3,  1,2,3
Keeping in time
Chasing the movement of coy subtle winks
1,2,3,  1,2,3
Godly crashes of endorphins bombard the love mucle
It counts aloud
1,2,3
Nothing to do with faith
Let the butterflies lead the way
1,2,3
Lest we die of anticipation
Relax and dance
1,2,3
Don't speak
Just dance
1,2,3  1,2,3
Dante Blades Sep 2010
Under the radar
Someone's daughter
Avoid the mainstream
Dwell in the backwater

Leading the journey
My flirtatious folly
Reflects a sense of melancholy
Raveling in romantic malice
Mocking the norm
Arm in arm

Amor in a twisted mess
A soul to caress
An unspoken liaison
A nonexistent list of excuses  
Explaining  all of it's practical uses

Who knows where we'll be tomorrow
Some place to scoff in the face of sorrow
I speaking from experience
Stop asking
When I have no defense

I will dare
You wont
If you have any sense
Dante Blades Aug 2010
She's the attention grabber
Attention all!
Her attention to detail
Is noticeable

Notice not me
The attention *****
Lackluster childlike smile
Is such a bore

The limits are nonexistent
Working like a piston
Notice me
I'm noticeable

Do not appreciate
My childish jokes
I'm here for your entertainment
I'm not a hoax

Cast a glance in my general direction
I'm only looking for alittle affection  
I'll yell it at the loudest decibel
Notice me
I'm noticeable
Dante Blades Jul 2010
I could have saved him
But he didn't listen
He could have just lost a limb
He doesn't know what he's been missin'

Goat's head symphonic mood music
Shan't bring him back
For he suffered
From a soul crippling mind lack

So go and say I'm without respect
I'm an empty can that can't reflect
Revel in the nostalgia
Of retrospect
