He lives with his soul in the grave Popping buttons - ripping blouses Can’t resist the crave Loving in the shadows Preying in the light Bubbling with laughter While the world burns beneath him. Honey forget your dread Slip and slide those hands all over All over - want that fire lit Get that fire lit Take me hard Take me down The words exploded They raked at his insides And ripped their way out There he goes laughing At the shards of tears And glint of ****** streams.

Wanna show you
An empty hospital bed The race of those two drops outside the window The growl of tires on the gravel Fading though As those lines etch themselves into the face of the people And those rivers and potholes carve through the crust of our universe That blank stare as love fades from your gaze And this empty room And this space – suddenly so much bigger – What happens now? What happens when I don’t even feel Like wondering? And we forget everything about ourselves and have to find our Relationship to others But through ourselves In other words, how do we find ourselves alone in the dark? Well we feel And I feel through art. So stop poking and prodding And just try to let it fill you Like it does me with anything you can feel, anything at all.

How about you
My lonely voice wobbles out Into the Universe to find you In the seeping darkness. As our world crumbles and the tears fall With our skies Their edges eroded by these Cages they pretend we can fly out of But then I look to you and you listen to me And together The system can't break us Kirara - oh- we're wild childs at heart And they ain't gonna bring us down no more We'll fly to that mountain peak over there And then taunt gravity after we launch without the plummet And take out over those billowing clouds and roiling sea But we don't care anymore, Cuz we're free! Until then though We pray That the Universe hand us aces instead of the jokers we've been getting And philosophy and reflect and become buddhas While staying Edward Scissorhands by all appearances and feelings... Oh my darling Desperation makes a poet Of even the court jester. If only such a power were ours We would rule the world And not only in our minds.

To my fairy fish friend and muse Kiara
I'm angry and I want the world to know it!!!! So that's why I write, Because the kids they die And the people don't stop shooting And the bullet holes Blossom - toxic red flowers - In the mother's chest as she rushes to her baby And falls short As he screams and squalls no longer Oh and then they sing about the drugs the money the *** the jaded When ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOOK AT THAT No use to shake them The world burns around them

Toxic blossoms - covered up.
They say to you be who you are And yet all of these nets and traps And tests they set to watch you fail The only way to get out Is to put up your own And rise above As you step on those Who suffer at the whip of your tongue And the lash of your words. They say the witty, the clever Survive. And they certainly do. Being survivors of a different kind, Of the subtle knives No one looks for as they turn around To face the oncoming train, Forgetting to step off the tracks And glance behind them.

Forgetting to step off the tracks
It's been a while No more words Amazing the effect that has I don't care I won't be crushed No, I won't. But isn't that the tragedy of it all? How all of this world spins on games And sassiness Money and irony Along with ***** skills. All of that is great But it builds these walls so high You think they've gone down Till you bleed your head on the sharp bricks As they fall, heavy, into your lap Staining you skin and your clothes As it seeps into you Then grinds you back into the ground Back into your home But I don't want to go! And on goes the grinding sound of those walls Coming ever closer With control.

With control
Well he wonders and he blathers And finally I decide And he goes sure And everything is good Then he speaks his mind And the indiscriminately honest Becomes what you don't mind hearing Until later, When you realize That a free pass has been secured At your expense So soon now Things will fall into place Because nobody can wait forever And nobody wants to wait long. I am one of the many So I am sending out a warning A message for whoever chooses to listen And deserves to understand it.

A message for whoever chooses to listen
They don't realize - None of them do Relapse Of a different kind Into the strife And the hate and the fighting And the tears and the pain And the so-called rebellion That tears us all apart with no end in sight Moral or immoral And there's no one There's no one for this kind of pain No one to hold To hear To cry with you Or to even see the tears. They're gone now though And tomorrow's another day.

They're gone now
They pass without time Through the glaring white light That blue chair stuck there wavering wobbling And then still Finally still Forever still As the light slices through Spreading and cutting Vicious and precise Those jabs of pity and melancholy That we send out to space to crush those stars So burdened from our failing wishes And shredded by the fading hope Of all the people watching the red sunrise Drip off the stars And into their waiting palms, The beads gliding down All the life lines of this world To finally seep into rest In a cool shady dusk.

Waiting palms
Pigments fall from the sky They swim in our skin Some would rank them By that God But he gave them all to us By natural superiority But that makes for inferiority Oppression violence abuse hate Always find outlets through these excuses *** color religion culture And those that do nothing Those that see the wrong and still do nothing Forge the way for wrongdoers Moderate the righteously inflamed And accept the abuse When rights are stolen Injustice runs unchecked All will suffer. In the end remains just the question What's next? When will you be the victim? When will you act? When will your sense of justice Cry out for rightful compensation For rightful equality and freedom? When will you scream and fall? For you and others With you and others And right the wrongs And take up that torch of liberty? As others before you That you have mocked And called impatient rabblerousers And ridiculed their cause Now just as noble as yours.
