it begins as a series of unfounded berations on everything; which in itself is a statement against nothing. what really was needed was a place to begin. there will be the ones who are forever lost in the maze of one's drunkenness. in a way she feels like a drunken thought. spurted out without thought and then carried over to sobriety. together with the ***** stained denims and the borrowed t-shirts (were they borrowed alright) she can't be churned into the washer like the rest she's out there burying herself in deep resentment because she can not forgive me she gave herself that disease when she refused to grant forgiveness for sins committed in anger since when, though, has the truth ever been an offense? cuts deep deeper that the most merciful lies one can serenade her with we can not have anything if we refuse to confront what is real but ke? what's done is done. these berations on nothing itself are all that is left most of these things remain unexplained the story in itself is synthesizing, everyday, unwittingly. unauthoured, playing itself out like water lazily floating down a river towards a fantastic waterfall or right into the mouth of a gaping, yearning sinkhole - where it will not die, but steadily keep propagating itself beneath all observance and veneration and perhaps sip out from a well-meaning spring somewhere deep in the uncharted lands it's like that. it should be like that. just as all else is what it is.

Hiatus.
A pile of dead embers Glow In the void Of my empty heart. Black fire burns eternally in my body The memories we were yet to make A time on the edge of forever in Which we spoke of life and things to be. Black flames race through my veins leaving me Cold and afraid. This cold fire that once was the beauty you inspired Sustains me and keeps oblivion away.

Cold Fire
Like a pathetic attempt at Grabbing visions of beautiful Colour, beautiful violence Of rainbows dancing in the sky, tingling the belly of the horizon Lost in the glory of happiness. Placed in blinkers and thrown into the search. And it all completes When all that is held are memories. At last fake hope goes away When lost in the maze of regret...

The Search
I have buried you and filled your hole with dirt And on your grave I've planted This ink. One day a tree will sprout and on its leaves they will read: 'here lies memories unmade here lies many things unsaid here lies a lie here lies me too, inside with me is the man I was waiting to become' I have buried you though you never lived For now you are dead, dad.
