Be someone you would want to meet.

Be someone you would want to meet.

Attract what you expect,
reflect what you desire,
become what you respect,
mirror what you admire.

Only Yours

Only Yours

I would've given up
A long time ago
**** it
I should give up now
But I can't
Its only because my empty hands
Hold a heart
And if I'm buried
I'm taking it with me
It's mine
As mine has always been
       Only yours......
I should've given up
A long time ago
I know
I could give up now
But I won't
Its only because I still have love to give
You as well
And if I get lost in darkness
Your light will fade
Its true
As truth has always been
Only yours
•••••••••••••√√√√√√√√√√••••••••••••••
I'll be your eyes to help you see
You'll be my heart to help me bleed
I'll be your shadow
You'll be my ghost
We'll share a body
~~~~~••••••••••~~~~~
We'll share a love
We'll share a house
We'll share the stars
That we're made from
                                I could be strong
                                    Without you
                                    But I'd never
                                   Be strong
                                    Enough
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I was born
To love you
Its written in the stars
You were made
To love me
Its written on your heart

Combined and taken whole

We all
ALL of us
Everyone
We all
Are slaves

SO
........let us build the pyramids
.....let us build the Parthenon
let us build America

And

Let us watch time make it all fall d

What we create
In the service of our masters
Is only temporary

Our Titanic on a very first voyage

The only thing
That last forever
Is what makes us most afraid

What makes me most afraid

We are all slaves
And it will
ALWAYS
Be this way

Cygnus

Cygnus

I see you in the stars
Somehow you have been changed
From how the mortal eyes have seen you
Your mouth which used to speak
Of hatred and hope oblique
Becomes a beak without your teeth

Rage was born
But it will die
When its thrown into the fire

A brittle constellation
An ancient observation
You invite your guest to **** them
The poison of your being
These wounds caused by your sword
Let Heracles avenge them

All night
I look at you
Such beauty born from hatred

The knives in your hands
Cannot be be held by wings
Your arms that change until you drop them
The blasphemous skin
And fingers meant for ripping
These are the feathers that replace them

The sound of blood
And ugliness
Becomes beautiful music

Cygnus the swan. Greek mytholgy. You as a reader, I doubt you'll understand.

The Angels Cry

The Angels Cry

The angels cry
I feel it on my skin
It falls as rain
I know just what it means
Wickedness and sin
Desolate pain
From the times when I've been wrong
All the things I've done

The angels cry
In morbid fascination
Feathers and freefalling
I know the reason why
When the sky breaks
So do I
And so do they

The angels cry
From whence they used to pity
Now they only grieve
They saw the birth of fires
The watched them as they grew
And swallowed us all
From the times when we were broken
And the truth of being hopeless

The angels cry
Only hoping their teardrops from the heavens
Will drown us in their mercy

An Ode To The Poet

An Ode To The Poet

I create life in you
You
Who I've never seen
And never spoken too
I paint colors on gray skies
And feelings on the wind

I give you dreams
You
Who only know me
As a name without a face
I trace lines in outer space
I give meaning to constellations

I teach you imagination
You
Who wonder mindlessly
Through lifes daily procession
I reach heaven and hell
Bringing you the better parts of both

I am your hope
You
Who knows that art will still exist
Even if unappreciated
I was born for a purpose
Even if its lost on most

I show love to you
You
A better thing I'll never do
A deeper truth found only here
In the words
Of the poet

Written for all the poets, what do we write for anyways?

I crawled into bed with death

I crawled into bed with death

I crawled into bed with death last night
I let her dark fingers wander my naked flesh
She whispered in my ear as she held my bones
                                                                         I let her have me
I touched her lower back last night
I let death climb on top of me and cry in pleasure
She moaned aloud and said my name with love
                                                                        I let her have me
I reveled in her cold embrace last night
I let her fall asleep heavy in my arms and my dreams
She became my tomb, my grave, my other side
                                                                        I let her have me
                                                                        All of me
She took my breath away
I rode her into the abyss
