Cold Candles
Lies stay alive as I lie alone again.
A life worth the time to win within.

No truth will live through isolation.
We face our demons with desolation.
Look without open eyes to separation.
Know why while wanting real communication.

Nothing becomes your desire with only needs.
Remember, forget failure after you deceive.

Cold Candles taunt my fears.
Paranoia has brought it near.
Accepting the whispers we hear.
My still emotion stops tears.

Better days will have to greet me.
Feelings grab a hold mocking “be.”

Freedom is slowly dying with every mark.
Blows them out with it's morbid love for dark.
Yearn to simply warm a candle
Begin to finally grab a handle.

Watch my shoes come off my feet.
This time I do not want the seat.

By all means find worth in the fight
Try to discover reasons to see light.
Fly with me throughout this night.
Sly are those who are never right.

Weakness shows you the room to grow.
Strength guides this journey to know.

Respect my Sun, but don't look directly into it's eye.
Love my Ocean, but know the infinite limits that lie.
Heal my Earth, but don't waste tears with your cry.
Find my Wind, but only ask, in the moment, why?

THIS VICIOUS CABARET!
They say there is a broke light for every heart on Broadway.
They say that life's a game then they take the Broadway.
They give you masks and costumes and an outline of the story.
Then leave you all to improvise their vicious cabaret.
In no longer pretty cities there are fingers in the kitties,
there are warrants, forms and ******* and a jackboot on the star.
There's *** and death and human grime in monochrome for one thin dime
and at least the trains all run on time but they don't go anywhere. 
Facing their responsibilities either on their backs or on their knees.
There are ladies who just simply freeze and dare not turn away
and the widows who refuse to cry will be dressed in garter and bow-tie
and be taught to kick their legs up high in this vicious cabaret. 
At last the 2014 show the ballet on the burning stage!
The documentary seen upon the fractured screen.
The dreadful poem scrawled upon the crumpled page! 
There's a police man with an honest soul that has seen whose head is on the pole
and he grunts and fills his briar bowl with a feeling of unease.
Then he briskly frisks the torn remains for a fingerprint or crimson stains
and endeavors to ignore the chains that he walks in to his knees. 
While his master in the dark nearby inspects the hands with brutal eye
that have never brushed a lovers thigh but have squeezed a nations throat.
And he hungers in his secret dreams for the harsh embrace of cruel machines,
but his lover is not what she seems and she will not leave a note. 
At last the 2014 show!
The situation tragedy!
Grand opera slick with soap!
Cliff-hangers with no hope!
The water color in the flooded gallery. 
There's a girl who'll push but will not shove
and she's desperate for her fathers love.
She believes the hand beneath that glove
may be one she needs to hold.
Though she doubts her host's moralities she decides
that she is more at ease in the land of Doing-As-You-Please,
than outside in the cold.
But the backdrops peel and the sets give way
and the cast get eaten by the play.
There's a murderer at the matinee
there are dead men in the aisles
and the patrons
and the actors too are uncertain if the show is through,
and with sidelong looks await their cue...
but the frozen mask just smiles. 
At last the 2014 show!
The torchlight song no one ever sings!
The curfew chorus line!
The comedy divine!
The bulging eyes of puppets, strangled by their strings!
There's thrills and chills and girls galore,
there's sing-songs and surprises!
There's something here for everyone reserve your seat today!
There's mischief and malarkey,
but no queers or yids or darkies within this ******* carnival...
THIS VICIOUS CABARET!
worth the read from one of my favorite comics

Have This Threatening Heart
The hound howls in hunger approaching me with care,
without a concern for myself I choose to feed this monster.
All I have to offer is my useless heart so I hand it over whole,
without a lapse of time the creature chews my toughest muscle.
Though the beast doesn't seem satisfied still it struggles not to waste,
with that I sense such a relief that my threatening heart can be of use.

Crushing Crystals
The dust sparkles up above
as I smash gems down below.

Coated with divine shine the air is
filled with energy brought with water
scotching as hot as necessary for fire to
shatter and entangle this enchanted earth.

The foundation is broken by what is spoken
when you have the token taken from cooping.

So, let this wreckage wind west knowing
that all you test is of your own mess
and try harder to say yes to happiness
with less than the best of the rest.

Motor Mouth
The tips of my lips are tearing
from talking entirely too much
so time to take a break for my
tongues sake and use thought
to communicate without hate
and though never late is fate
when I debate whether or not
to shove love above or below
the flow of my expectation
as I row what you tow on my
back moving forward in circles.
I fear you love me far more than i love you,
only because of how easily I can be fooled.

For what you wish is all I can seem to see,
by which I know for you it is meant to be.

Ever wondering when may my dark desires
casting a shadow on your mind evenly shine?

Find your worth through this tongue though
I say nothing it can still reveal what we conceal.

You claim my time as if to silenced my sounds and think
have I been blessed by sickness or cursed by happiness?

Upon this quest I yet remain without an end in sight,
grown away from the thought all us fools were not taught...

This ideal of love might be meant for more than two, but
tired beneath the weight of this worlds hate, we settle.

Much of Nothing
We have plenty to pile with our fire although it will go nowhere.

I had enough time to sell my soul on sale before I could close shop.

You will know everything eventually upon evolving after each end.

He fights for his freedom forcing worn shackles on the others with ease.

She suffers though sacrifice safely saving life until weight lifts her away.

I Enjoy Feeling Cold
we try to simplify why we die
so its hard not to cry
when we lie 
just to get by 
and nobody, we know, can fly.

When there are 3 choices
on what to reply
with 1 decision.
Once you untie the lie
within the knot of time
you will see 42 outcomes
to any chyme or rhyme.
So, live now, have fun
and when you get a chance 
to run, run. Run from
people like me that don't
know wrong from right, dumb.
No mercy will be granted, won't.
Be careful with who you dance.
Learn to let go of common romance.
Push past your distraction 
with energy off your action.
Follow me, it would be alright...

Though if you simply think 
I would be aside you in link 
then perhaps I can sail to sink
drowning until my last blink.

The only thing that separates this love
is everything blocking our connection 
to what knowing feels like in a desire.
I wish to destroy all matter in the way
and walk my path knowing the direction.

****, why not fly bye?
Game Over, then you die.
Greetings from the other-side.
I will be learning here too...
Accept the changes you ride.
Do not quit on your heart.
Fight for your life anew.
Love is the answer for all.
It can be known to start 
you up after your fall.

God doesn't desire his followers attention 
God's attraction is to the hearts of sinners. 
God's will is for all of the convention 
in heaven dimension after the rules 
and hard work ascension has arrived 
with prevention from the detention of hell.
If you are right 
believe insight 
tonight.

Magic flowing though us
all, always will, is
working with every move
toward something to prove.
Know when this monsoon
can consume all the room
along with hope, doom,
and allow more room
to create desirable boom.

In Need
Spending precious time
pending moments to
find them only ending.

Breach this place to
reach chances to fix
each of our mistakes.

Strain to locate the
gain in breaking the
chain binding me safely.

Start your hunt tasting
**** until the sweet
art provides pay off.

Indeed I'm in need
to feed the seed
feeling to be freed.

Indeed that greed will
grow from the ****
with need for fuel.

Indeed we are in
need of the help
to recede our plead.

Indeed you must then
concede if you can
lead those in need.

Routine Changes
Blending my soft spirit
deeper towards the core
sending this ego sinking
slowly below soul flow.

Strong grasp of the will
to overcome your fear
while successful self love
infinitely guides you near.

I am everything words
try to describe like
a lost mind wishing
to be forever hidden.

Do not stop my tears
giving me this relief
supplying the room to
store more secrets.

Does it matter how
a dream can create
your life with endless
energy taking on shape?

What it means to
live freely and play
while working a way
that turns time divine.

Yesterday was
why today I
plan for a tomorrow.

Play is to Work as
Focus is to Random.

Go is to Come as
Away is to Close

Lost is to Found as

Flawed is the Perfect part.

You are just as Boring.
Try to Excite Me, please.

Soul will shine as You.
Ego is likely all Me.

Simple as We
Is this Simile...

Somewhere Saved For Freedom
Go someplace special
then leave knowing
you won't return
until you die.
Don't search for
this wondrous land
ever again for
you will die.

Dream of paradise
each night lonesome
and cold longing
for final sleep.
You will feel
cursed lacking the
will to direct
your tired body.

Let go of
what it is
you call kind
finding you don't
mind being bind
to Death's time.

Though with each
second of freedom
you learn to
grow with wisdom
as you fix
the mistake you
tend to make.

Sly is my...
Shy was I.
Why we die?
Bye with lies.
Eyes tie then
deny high flight.

— The End —
