Lawrence (who goes by Lars)
Went to India
And Contracted SARS
Damped his spirits?
I think not!

His best friend is Lou
Payed his taxes and went to church
Alas, 'twas not Jesus
That he found on his search

Lars and Lou
One day had nothing to do
They crowded the streets of the city
In Bangladesh
In Timbuktu
They never found something quite as pretty

Lars had bandages on his eyes
Lou chose not to see
Turning a blind eye
Turning the cheek
Say what you will (makes no difference to me)
Dante Blades Jul 2011
I am a Knight
Put here
If only to fight
It's not my business
To say Right or Wrong
In the end
I am but a pawn
Dante Blades May 2011
You** and your good friend
They make love out of paint and clay
Worlds without love we cannot mend
Many feelings-all cheap-with no waste to lay
Dante Blades Feb 2011
Exes and Ohs
Litter the page
Sprinkled around in a random matter
Without age

Relative to time
Persecuted for that one word
That one crime

Exes and Ohs
Meaningless apart
Like a left ventricle
Without the right heart

Two halves  
Of the same bilateral organism
An awkward moment
Nervous laughs

Eyes forward
Minds in each other's pants
Forget needless pleasantries
Deposit in wilting potted plants

Hugs and kisses
Sincerely yours
Tell me why
It's me you ignore
Dante Blades Jan 2011
Lost at sea
Without a home
Caught within
The subduction zone

Come and feel my radiation
Revel in universal segregation
Robbing the king of his throne
Safely from the subduction zone

Run for cover
And Higher ground
The Hurricane's coming
Leave this town

Millions dead with no survivors
Where's your god now?
Smirking probably
The man is very Proud

What is the world but one big catastrophe
Catastrophe
Catastrophe
Dante Blades Jan 2011
A few strokes of bad luck
What else could it possibly be?
A ****** up coincidence?
Or lack of empathy

Fingernails grow like ice crystals
Lying by omission
Aiding and abetting
Vandalize all that's beautiful
In this world that's not worth living
  
Love letter in calligraphy  
Doodle in the margins
Images
Of something that's just not me
We're just friends

Lies and and false emotions
Follow you like smoke follows beauty
I wanna hate you
It's not easy
We're just friends

It's not easy
To hate someone you love
I wanna hate you
Like I can hate myself
Dante Blades Jan 2011
The little voice inside of you
Directing decision
Trapped
Unable to envision

Success
In rapid succession
Reverting
In sudden regression

Sewing shut
Your mind's eye
Blame your loss of contact
Contact with me
The romantic deviant

Your love is beautiful
With all it's conditions
Scolding the masses
For their mental carbon emissions

Unpopular
Is an understatement
What do you expect
Pushing for a decision
When there is no answer
