A woman is the marriage of heaven and hell.
She will love and hate you in the same instant,
Praise and criticize you in the same sentence,
Save your life and condemn you to sin in the same moment,
Bestow untold wonders upon you and never allow you to appreciate.
She will sing angelic and pierce your heart with screams in the same voice.
Beauty, luminescent, yet motives malevolent.
She will keep you alive long enough to sustain her
And cast you aside, useless and drained,
At your weakest moment.
Unable to resurface in happiness.
The tenderness of her gloved, supple fist.
The irony of the ulterior motives in her kiss.
The nakedness of woman is the work of God,
Yet the woman as a being is the marriage of heaven and hell.
Regurgitation of the spoon fed, unintelligible dribble supplied by the media is not intelligence.
I walk in the rain
It disguises my tears

We walk hand in hand
Disclosing our fears

I walk in the rain
Hiding my sorrow

We walk hand in hand
Planning tomorrow

I walk in the rain
So you can't see me cry

We walk hand in hand
Blind leading blind

I walk in the rain
My eyes filled like pools

We walk hand in hand
For lovers are fools
When we meet on the shores of afterlife
Reliving painful memories and a history of sin
Will you see my face and know my name?
Or will you walk by me with chagrin?

When we meet on upon the mountains of tears
Where my soul is frozen in time
Will you greet me with smile and comforting eyes
Or will you punish me for my crimes?

When we meet within the depths of sorrow
Amongst the traitors, deceitfulness, and lies
Will you happen upon me with forgiving words
Or will you tear out my undeserving eyes?
I'm like the furthest star from your being
I've already died and faded out
You have not begun to realize it yet
My eyes grow cold and lifeless with doubt

All you see is the resonance
Of what I once was and what I had done
You will soon see my flash of brilliance
An explosion of wisdom in foreign tongues

My neutron star imploding
Blinding all non-believers
The deafening cries of a lifetime of heartache
Knowledge bestowed upon righteous receivers

I have become one with the myths
A shadow of my former self
Mere vestiges of all my thoughts and invocations
Permeating the infinite with stealth

"Tell me a secret," she whispered
There are no shadows on the sun
The moon is a vestige of our past sins
I'm dying for a chance to live as one

I can't rid my mind of misery
Heaven knows I lack control
No matter how fast and far I run,
The devil still finds my soul
Underneath cold, blanketed stars
We suffer alone, together
In between the sweet tidings
Of never and forever.

However far you may lie
Forever in my mind when we're apart
And the sweet thoughts that you may dream
Compare not to the feelings in my heart
Crazy feelings flood my paper
As my pen begins its
Ritualistic dance.

Insane voices fill my head
Upon the possibility of
Second chance.

Silence speaks the truth
When angel choirs sing
Their songs.

It’s not what you have,
But who you have
When you no longer belong.
