Slave to perfection in your honor as you leave,
Putting together pieces that you broke can't give
The seed,
I'm realizing the love was real from the emotional
Decree of absolute modesty between you and me,
Do you agree?,
Crying hysterically,
And you know everything I think of,
And you know everything I dream of,
There's no other way to say your perfect only than the
Words I speak of,
You're practically covered up in dark endeavours
With your feathers,
Yeah their pretty long,

There's no other way to say that you're the one for me,
I'm coping , breaking out of insecurity,
I'm bound to evolution and my heart is buried in grass
But protected by glass encrusted figures in the valleys
Grasp,
I got not no way to see you,
You're practically covered up in dark endeavours
With your feathers,
Yeah their pretty long,
I say , "so long",


There's - No - Oth-er Way,
That I - Can - Make - You - Stay,
There's - No - Oth-er Way,
That I - Can - Make - You - Stay,
There's - No - Oth-er Way,
That I - Can - Make - You mistakes,
....just go.

Dreamy in your own complexity,
You sought out blood,
I'm learning about you more and more,
Even your scars and cuts,
I was a tyrant and were a goddess floating up above
Me,
Perfect kisses in the afternoon,
Defying laws of gravity,
Crumbling like grains of sand,
To create glass inside your palm,
We're as magical as they come,
I would take your hand,
And one day give you this ring
No stress , just be calm,
Just say yes for me,
I want to be your man,
This is beautiful what we are,
The futures ahead of us,
But you've lived along time trying to find love,
Your more beautiful than the stars,
And sometimes we can't get enough of each
Other enough to cope from the heaven lurking
Above,

Don't make me wait for this,
I can't move on from this.

blown that dream well down stream
ignited the fuse to a different future
took some chances won some hands
but in the end we all end up naked.

reflectively i
      opened &
closed
                regularly,
i was
petals blushed
        in the
height of
summer & a
           frostbitten
bud
in the throes of
winter, except this
                year
   the sky not
grey brought
a heat everyone
              could feel 
except me,
i waited
for an
          opening that
didn't come,
                  a flower
refusing to yield
to sun,
                limbs
staying firmly
crossed, lost in a
place where
             nothing
warm survives
for long.

South-by-Southwest
The boards creak and moan
from time and poor carpentry
The nails gripped by aged wood
have become crust collected and
shrunken to form

The bare walls once displayed
the smiling faces
of past eons but now
there are only the faded remnants
of square foundations
of lives that once
hung on the wall

The stairs complain
like an old man
from unsubstantiated fears
The second floor
seems solid only responding
to the remarks of my shoes

The old bedroom
once the center of attraction
overlooks the buckled sidewalks
and **** infested yards
of a street that now has no cars
or people passing by

I stand in silence for the moment
and the moment stands silent for me
And for that moment
I lay in time's eternal graveyard
in hopes of reviving dead dreams

maddening knowledge
self awareness
a crying shame

Years later
muffled like new snowfall
this ash
permeating teeth and skin.

Back then, I was still naive enough to trust
Old Jimmy when he offered to fly me
over the blast zone in his beat-up Cessna
the words Scenic Tours peeling off its purple tail.

His latent appetite would later manifest  
on the ride home in his musty Cadillac
the passenger door dented shut
preventing an easy exit.

That day
gray extended
as far as eyes could see
denuded trunks laid to rest
in perfect unison

we flew
for miles and miles
over nothing living

just ash
permeating teeth and skin
fallen matchsticks
and men.

she said that love was dangerous
in the way it cuts to the bone
and that love wasn't meant for the both of us
best if we leave it alone

she said love doesn't really break
more like tears your heart apart
she also said love gives away
all of the very best parts

she said that love is camouflaged
hiding out deep in the weeds
and what you most expect from love
is something you'll never see

when she said that love was dangerous
all of this i should have known
that love wasn't meant for the both of us
as i find myself here all alone

Bright lights and
Red suns
Sitting still
Cold night outside

Impossible to sleep
Unable to see
Think about nothing
That's something nonetheless
Laugh violently
Cry shamelessly
Miss and see again
Promise to escape this cage

Let me go
The windows say
Let the wind
Screech through the cracks
Fill your soul
Then leave
You alone

Hard to hear sound
When all that reigns
Is silence flowing in voices
That can’t fix
What's left
Of a broken soul.
