Rough hands
crush a menthol
cigarette
stained
with red wine
& my red lips
he crushes
it slowly
& crushes
my dreams
as he inhales toxicity
and exhales my love

brimming speckled
eyes of gold
we trek through
the
labyrinth
crossing
thresholds
from earth
to ether
low & behold
for there are
others seeking
a dream they
once sold

I sway
side to side
my pale grasp
holding a
violet
stem
one hand
in earth
one hand in
the ether
one foot
in the dark
one foot
in the light

He said
tell me more
but maybe less

Self fulfilling prophet
master of none
move towards the sun
& far away
from

mystical moon
where lies are told
Broken dreams

angelic mind
innocent eye
gal of the night
Will swoon
self fulfilling prophet
master of none
have faith
for the morning sun
will rise
& the illusions
of the night
will disperse
encompassing light
will immerse
into your life
so let there be light

Flying high
above pink
clouds swirling
into the cotton
candy skies
from earth
to ethers
like a prayer
in the night
closer to god
close to the sky
close
so close
to all that
is mine

Make them wonder,
wander,
question
& Seek
beyond
the illusionary
life
placed
at their
feet

Serene
dream
divine
god
speaks
through me
gold
speckled
shine

Infernal motives
hellish intent
mind was twisted
& bent
Where art thou?

I fell deep down
with a wicked
frown
dirt
& blood
on my party gown

I once lived
in the wild
with beasts
sun shone
as
I danced
recklessly
through the
street
embodied
the presence
of warmth
& heat
had a heart
of
gold
and thoughts
of fleet
