me oh me

i still very much feel last night
it was eternity experienced
through complete aural bliss

the day held slight forbearance
amidst it's mists, in no way
could i anticipate such as this

killed, buried, resurrected and
reborn in the lights and pageantry
i saw the angels, i heard them sing

i shuddered, i shivered as i tried
to catch the wayward glance of
the true goddess of wavelengths

the true queen of song, of dreams,
of energy, of life, of experience,
the meaning of a supreme being

there is no other tune but the humming
of my being, elated for once, set to drift
beckoned to float about the world now

my mind will struggle to comprehend
the catharsis that ended when your light and the stage fell empty and dark

but i will never forget how truly alive
i felt in the presence of such incredible
wonder as i did that vibrating night

merrill garbus you will always have my heart

Dad dayz

Normal dad stuff
That I've learned to do
I'd probably make a pretty cool dad
I could fix a thing or two

cannibal

I yearn for the taste of human flesh

fire tingling the mouth and
the feeling on my lips

mind you, though,
I'm no cannibal

sleepy

rolled over
past the entry of sunlight
no spark of lust
receded back to base
like an animal
nothing to gain
no one to concede
quietly suffering
could not go get
could not get up,
the burn
was painless
for I was already jaded,
no lesson to be learned
nothing to be redeemed
just the quiet anticipation
of forthcoming heartbreak
to engender upon
my delicate hands
just the stillness
before the unrest
the calm
before the cry

those can't be birds singing

you'll be all better
i'll repeat and repeat it
until you believe it
i'll sing it and dance it
and be and mean it

feet don't fail me now
it'll make sense somehow
i say in between
heavy pants and second
thoughts and undertones

it's all for nothing though
and that's quite alright
i'm one with the universe
and the stars out tonight

but don't try and make sense
of what i confess, it's all just
some ploy to get you undressed,
i guess, you said it- i'm a mess

you can see right through it
and if you do know what's best
you'll not spend one moment
and you'll avoid my caress

i'm just playing my part, though
it's all thoughts and undertones
and the cold air that breaches bone
the one thing i really own

is this senseless need to be what you
see, when you're laying in bed
and you're thinking of things
that kept you from flying
from dancing so free
a form of bravery an image
beautifully obscene

the chaos of all things drenched
in *** appeal
draped in fine fabrics
with nails made of steel

but look how you make an
impressionable mind rant

yes, i know, i should really just be in bed

fly freely, miss kitty

just know my friend
I'm not here out of pity

you don't have to admit
that right now you're needing

I'm here for a reason
that exists separately

I've been around because
you've been there for me

For Kyle, we're here for you

A Cell Isn't As Bad As They Say

I was supposed to be better
This time, I don't remember
If it was May, maybe September
Either one still held regret

A lighter I did lend her
As her eyes reflect the ember
I thought I'd might befriend her
Despite the cigarettes

There we sat, in a car
Driving here, driving far
Drowning gin in different bars
Words come through in blurs

I watched the lights, she watched the stars
speeding past the other cars
metal smashed, we flew apart
the blood on the dash was hers

Through all the trials never heard
Through the fade of morning birds
Through the pain of time obscured
I still have four stone walls to write these words
