I travel through your brain waves
The static distorts your words
Emotions blow like pollen
Creating opposite reactions

Years of being a recipient
Finally I’m immune
‘‘Tis all fleeting you see
Shallow and brief engagements

What I seek was never outside
Never inside another either
‘‘Twas always beyond you and I
Somewhere deep and far

I travel through your brain waves
The static distorts your words
Emotions blow like pollen
Creating opposite reactions

Years of being a recipient
Finally I’m immune
‘‘Tis all fleeting you see
Shallow and brief engagements

What I seek was never outside
Never inside another either
‘‘Twas always beyond you and I
Somewhere deep and far

Heart broken full of anger and rage
All those moments that were wrong
Words resound like demonic screams
A fool you think you are; rage

Time passes news is cut off
Tears fall for those moments of one
The day you got caught in the rain
The time you sheltered in their arms

Pain somewhere in the chest
You’re breathing but so dead
Nights are the worst without them
You do stupid stuff to forget and move on

You’re losing yourself in all the wrong
You’re both in separate black holes
Hope fast fading away as legs get heavy
You’ve burnt all the bridges

Resign and sink into this doldrums
History stays but mostly as stories
Trying to open your heard it’s locked tight
Nothing moves you beyond a smile

Rage, sadness and resignation
These I know well
What is next I wish I knew
Someone please do tell

Another desperate and dark night
You cradle your pain and resign
Trade hope and joy for this pain
Guilt dances with regret

You took a dive into the magic glass
The space of nothing that numbs
There she was all laughter and dance
Strobe light to your lost soul

As you reach to hold her in your arms
Like a breeze she slips till morning comes
Running the track of your mind
The wild woman captured your heart

I did everything to forget
Chased the sun until it set
Swam across the oceans
It did not quell my emotions

My tears fell till they dried
As my heart ached till it died
Nothing took me away from you
No matter what I did I was blue

Every breath I take in my chest aches
Memories of all the pain and mistakes
I left everything and walked your path
Now I can’t clear the mess of the aftermath

I want to be good and feel kind again
Love was never supposed to be a sin
But you left me only a destroyed heart
I’m too old for the razor and body art

A million sunrises will not erase
My memory of your beautiful face
Time in its entirety won’t move me
From the greatest love that wasn’t to be

If only I could go back in time
That moment when my heart
Beat loud like a Djembe drum
When I danced under the moon

I was a powerful wind
Going through everything I saw
I touched and changed lives
With a kiss and a gentle smile

The serpent from its burrow slithered
Into my naïve unassuming arms
Venom slowly seeping into my veins
Turning my breeze to acid rain

My freedom stolen and my touch a burn
Nowhere to turn and no way to give
I hide in the burrow with the serpent
Waiting, waiting for one of us to **** the other

We could have stayed in Eden
In that garden small and hidden
My poems and your strings
Verse and rhyme our offspring

How they play happily and laugh
The perfect postcard photograph
Looking lovingly at each other
This happiness my love is forever

The stars that lit our night
How we danced till day light
If only I read the words in the sky
This was our end, our goodbye



Now Eden has transformed to HellDen
