convention
ridden
crimson lips
speak words of bore
I have heard
it all before

A sense of
utmost entitlement;
a being so impure
lacking the desire
to stir
the melting ***
for life
handed you it all
never once had to fall
into the abyss
of emotional pain
no disorder
no disdain
deep in
the lies of society
you will remain

Razor sharp
glass
cuts deep
blood
stained
sheet
dark eyes
glisten
under the
illuminated moon
you speak
filthy lies
I swoon
trembling hand
grasps
poisonous
wine
salty tear
drips
whisper
I'm fine
clock ticks
eerily slow
I put on
a show
dramatic
undercurrents
flow
air
thick and toxic
we
waste away
You and I
could never stay

Archangel
Michael
warns me
for I must
stay away
&
keep my mind
right
today

I did not
listen
I never do
My innocent
ideals
done for
they're through

Shot of
love
free &
wild ;
carefree
as a
child

You caress me slightly
hold me too tightly
I can’t let go
can’t quit now
Too far in the
depths
anyhow

Show me the path
it’s crooked down
I fall many times
walking through
the  danger town

streets of desire
streets on fire
hands
of pain
take me higher
& higher

Mind
    swirled
    into a
chaotic
turmoil
twirl

electric
& eclectic
dizzying
Indeed

incessantly
seeking
longing
to reach
the
    abundant
overflowing
stream
of
consciousness

Plight of
the artist
twisted
fate
eternal
chaotic
state

My soul
is on
fire
with hellish
intent
burning
& yearning
in the
land of
lost
angels;
lost
dreams
I
no longer
glisten
nor gleam
solace
in
flames;
echoes
of
lost
fame

Tongue
twists
eloquent
lies
dark
night
of the
soul
brings
our
demise
shaking
lips
whisper
goodbye
to
my
bitter
sweet
honey
drenched
love
of mine
