Somehow
Tonight
I know she's dreaming
Walking with me through the mountains
Of our minds
Hand in hand in peace
Not in a cold sweat
Waking up
In between nightmares
With glowing red eyes
And razor sharp teeth
All those demons
Have forgotten her name
Because angels guard her
I know what little light
I have
Has been given to her
It shines on her soul
And she sees the colors
Royal purples
Smiling yellows
Passionate reds
And tranquil blues
Hand in hand in peace
She walks with me
Through forests of loving greens

And just like always
She'll wake up in tears

I know she'll wake up in tears
Of joy

just a leaf left
on the pillow next to me
now, a whisper of smoke
vapor tracing your path

out the door
going back to the
limb I stole you from,
the place you must return

I rake my bed for more,
try to make
a place
for you to fall

again, next time.
We must celebrate the birth of the Lord,
Not the gift of a toy sword.
That's Christmas's true meaning,
Not a commercial screening.
I;m sure Santa Claus would agree;
He works for God, you see.
Saint Nicholas is his real name;
May our celebration and his be the same!
outside it's browns and greys
Inside an orange glow permeates,
skimming the surface
a Ravel march serenade.
the scent of burning pumkin.
You're in the garden planting tulips for
Spring.
when it arrives,
will kindness bloom anew
alongside the rows of colour..
or will we witness the beauty out there
Separately?
a snap shot of the moment. sitting at my computer, trying to make soup. :-)  in a light mood while it's grey outside. with a tinge of fall/winter blues

Your weakness
Your nightmares
Your demons chasing you
Through netherworlds
Blame it on me

And you woke up
By punching yourself
In the eye
And now your scars are even greater
Blame it on me

Your loss
Your sorrow
Your fear
Your tomorrow
Blame it on me

And you said
The most beautiful things
I fell in love
And I loved you like no one else could
Blame it on me

Because I am weak
Even when I am strong
You saved me once
And all I could do was save you
I guess I didn't

Blame it on me
I try to be abstract, a king and his onion rings. I know you can't stay away, from the crispiness. Whoever you love, you love me more. I'm sorry if I'm such a fool

Light hurts my eyes
What a metaphorical statement
But I find it hard to focus
Looking at the brightness
Of my telephone
Trying to type something meaningful

I can't fall asleep
I've worked forty-five hours
In the last three days
And with all my pain
I've decided that sleep couldn't heal me
But the ***** can destroy me

So I'm talking out of my ***
Writing whatever thought comes to mind
A drunken fool
Who just got off of work

A drunken fool
With love in my heart
But pain in my soul
And I'm reaching out
To whoever is there to
And reaching back

Could it be you?
If your the lucky one
If I'm lucky
There would be someone

I enjoy darkness
I need light
Die into me,

Every kiss is a prayer
As I whisper a prophesy
         To your body.

          The night will keep us
As we constellate our passion.

I die into you,

      I await you on the other side,
There open my soul
      And read the inscription:

   He died a thousand times,
Reborn inside her,
    The Sacrificial Lover.
