Street lamps burning waiting for the morning swell
Lovers closing curtains from the moonlight gold
We pressed and folded dandelions today
Bitter lemonade secrets spoke
Pathways of gardens laced through
I hung on a thread, eating kitchen knives for dinner
As sadness wrapped me into a familiar blanket
Wandering around with button eyes
Trying to ******* own soul

A widow's vine with wool lips and arrow teeth
A stranger to whom, I no longer  know
You once loved literature and putting words to print
Now I'm stifling unconsciously, in silence painting our home with strain

*******, I love you
*******,  I don't have the nerve to call
*******, I have nobody to hold me
No **** me

Smashing the bluebird to wear his color in my wounds
Feathers like fingerprints washed out to sea
Let his beak peck away my aortic
The rifle rests at my feet

It was only tonight
That while kissing my husband
That I remembered that I despise wet lips and kisses
I removed his saliva with the back of my hand
Whiskers rubs is what he called them
At first it was playful
Eskimo kisses
Daddy's lap
His tight jeans
Some soft lotion
A movie
But why again tonight?

God's spokesperson
Disarrayed hair, untouched nerves
A science teacher as well
David, Saul and Noah
Men I learned about
I trusted the words of the parish
Until the words " Gays are evil where spoke"

I did not mean to hurt you
Nor was it a surprise
That I shoved you away
When you begin to love me its so much to take
With you by my side I want to stand alone
I have an inner fight
Will I be alright?
I feel like I don't belong
The world made us collide in such a place
I try and love you
I try my best
Wallowing in the corner of my heart
I would rather be abused
Then admit that I need you

I'm an old photograph that has no place
Black and white, no color,  no space
The world has drained
I can't stay

Sipping on that juice
You are tripping
Screaming and laughing all at once
I'm flying getting my game on
Mystifying you be wearing your *** kicking boots
Smoking one, putting that roach in a jar
Popping vicodin  just to stay alive
Not even sure if I exist
Selling Adderall's so the ******* can stay skinny
Sweet little boy shot down on his big wheel bike
All I can do is grab the mic and send the message on
People on the street begging for money for addictions
******* **** just to get high
What if that was your daughter?
Hoping the soup kitchen is open
Do they have a empty bed for me to sleep tonight
Dressing in color
It's a true story this town is in demise
The water is not even safe to drink
Lake Huron to the Flint river
The town showing no love
Then Rick Snyder declares a state of emergency
The first person to come forward Sasha Bell
Was found murdered in her home as her small one year old son was left to roam
She had a law suit against the Flint water crisis
She is now silenced a baby without a mother
Nobody is winning here
90 people were sickened from exposer 12 died    
Delivering  bottle water to Veteran's, as they are losing there homes
People who have worked there whole lives
People just trying to survive

The secrets penetrated the lips of townspeople
Painted widow's weeds, now sketched with despair
Flames in the cellar, stale with wool pansies
Suppressed as weeping willows

Don't worry about me
I have just enough oxygen left

The wars of love
Stripping my skin
Leaving me useless and afraid
I found my tooth on the clean kitchen floor
I miss filling your mouth with mine
With blood on my face we made love
You sepreate my flesh, blindfolding my mind
An incision seeping scars

A Sun sculpted face
Gentle lights
Guide me through the night
As the ink of nature dries
Praying into the skies with earth at my side
Dust of the flowers on my finger tips
Shadows upon my cheeks
Glowing stars born before our eyes
With a kiss of hope
You can see the gardens song
Faintly on the shore
It's a gleam that not everyone can see

When the others leave
The voices swallow me

It's warm and wet on my lips
I take my time to savor the flavor
I desire the most
Salty and sweet
Tonight I'm yours
Were free
Tell me what to do
I could work it for hours
With the candle light dancing against my behind
I can give it to you nice and slow
Let me begin to show you how it works
Our lips exchange an embrace
As I look into your eyes
Working it down
I'll be your sweet baby
What ever you desire is fine

I'm out of time
To feeble to climb
The words of others
Ring into my ears
Do not be frightened
Your at peace here

My soul expires soon

At the age of eight you blew out your candles
At the age of eighteen you blew out your veins
At the age of twenty eight you blew out your brains

Silent eyelids on  galaxies of wings
Spinning meteorites entering my tears, into the white scented moon
  Pockets  full of soft kisses and kaleidoscopes strings
Weaving stones and heartaches into my muse
Spoken through poetic teeth

Linger and embrace as I bleed champagne
Slowly broken haunting this place
The desires recall the poison
We gulped the liquid *** when one night was never enough
The salt of your skin on my tongue
Sweet words that caused morning tears
I yearn waiting for your return
As the lonely wind rustles I try and wander free
Its moist beneath my hips
Between her spirit I know you have to return
I quietly follow your soul as you go out the door

Follow me to the seaside
We can gulp the ocean air
Weave fireflies in my hair, so I can finally shine

I have danced with strangers
To keep warm
Sand and lighthouses  decalcified  me
Frozen from the sea
Repels  me
Winter defrauds me
As wool blankets irate my skin
******* full of milk
Stains of madness making me alive
Snow forms flatly on the surface of the sea
Salt floats burning my skin
Realizing I love some one I never even knew

I'm a guest in my own mind
Swallowing spoonfuls of fire
The devil found a room for me to rent
As my fetishes landed me in court

He wrote plays and tears them up
Smoked to much and talked to fast
I would curl up on his chest as he spoke of old  English literature
I admired his mind and lusted for his knowledge
His skin was defined  every furrow told a tale
Deepset eyes with a whiskey tint

Living  a life that is of no use
I didn’t learn a lesson for everyone to know
I can’t  bury secrets and just pretend
I’m  a picture without the frame
Water that don’t flow
I shall be here with my pain

I'm on the edge
I'm tired
I'll grow wings and go
Blue lips and cold hands don't faze me anymore

Tonight we make love
To the same old songs
In this bed where we are emotionally unfit
The wood stove smells of wood and pine
It's so warm inside
I feel peace when I look at you
This is the place that I know
In fact it's all I know
It’s all I got
But I wish I didn't know every corner of you
Every turn of your heart
I wish I didn't
I wish I never had

Tremulous stars on the raw moon, kissing the grief away
My absent lover ran toward the Northern lights
I begged him to stay, I will paint visions inside your head
Azure coils with bands of seafoam with orchid shine
I can inflame ,swirl and glisten
We can find the skyline and live upon the atoms
As my paint brush bristles faintly float away

This chemical has you skeletal on a downward spiral
This is not incurable it's repairable

Antique brain and, willow trees fenced inside my mind
Wearing my conscience like a cinder block around my neck
Speaking eloquently from a smashed mouth
Wandering through life's hallway, burning out the night

Without a word I fell in love
You looked at me
I forgot the past
With razors in my hands
And hate inside my heart
You gave me the reason to survive

Prisonor of fire
Bloodbath fevers
With mouthfuls of bourbon and trembling convictions  
A lovers gaze upon her midnight *******
Wandering through starlight fields  
A womb of silence holding the recipe of my tears

What is good morning even mean
When you never sleep?

Yellow embryos famished
Shadows gnarled oak
Thickets of winter ambush my walking feet
Wooded ghosts begin to appear
Thinking of surrendering to death, So I can feel alive
Unbalanced earth swarming and sunken
Living in the corners with the voices  
Covered in patchwork and books
The dance with death is relentless

He died you hated him
He beat you ******
Mean *******
Mom gave you his compass
Always come back son
If she only knew you would never return

Sweltering groins in the church pew heat
Dolorous gospels outcry
Lines of blackberries spread as the morning grows
Daylilie's hanging on for dear life
Men's brows wiped hastily
Silence that deafens a room
In this temple of my homestead

My portrait so fine
Teeth made of veins and apple cores
Reeking of steel
