There's some leftover gasoline
A few ashes too          
          Inside my heart
From the last loser      
Who tore me apart
                You could use that          
       To light a fire in my soul
               Just grab a match      
     Make a tiny little spark
       Love me right    
Brighten my heart              
Keep my flame burning
   Treat my love
Like priceless art              

*All you need to do
Is breathe oxygen in my vicinity
To keep it lit

Olivia Kent
She broke her heart.
She snapped it.
It was a little fragile.
She let him play with it.
Teasing and tormenting it.
He used it like a rubber ball.
Bounced it round and bruised it.
He made her pretty eyes sob an ocean.
His eyes were terrific.
Her eyes were too.
His eyes were her main attraction.
His hair was thick and black.
Hers was reddish and shiny.
Glinted in the morning sun.
Evening tumbled from the day time sky.
As she smiled and kissed him goodbye.

Silence Screamz
Cry me a storm like summer's past
Your treacherous winds never last

The streams of hue color my face
Naked and simple and broken lace

Stepped on confusion just walks away
Facing it up, leaving today
Arguing in my eyes

We are all broken a little
Life is never that simple

From one simple  breathe of life
our tragedy is but strife

To the last breathe we breath
sleeping now is such reprieve

i see a fire in the sky above the pines
on the side of the house
this early morning

and on the front
the water is burning -
burning

i used to go to work in the dark
before the time changed - affirming
and conforming

the radio man recites last night's results -
a new day has dawned
- it will be long and disconcerting

there is a fire in the sky above the pines -
and on the front
the water is burning

- burning.

"The future's so bright
I gotta wear shades..."
From a song about a kid
Going into the field of
Nuclear physics... to work at
A power plant.
Very tounge in cheek...

The Noose
Regret slithering in
Toxic waste
Sitting on my lungs
Truth corroding convictions
Suffering for my ideals
Stifled screams drowning out
In the aftermath
As vermilion trickles
From the vacant heart.
VERMILION ANGUISH (PART I)

Bathed in vermilion anguish

Hollowing out the delusive notions

From the catacombs of the mind


Ensnared in the quagmire

Of disgruntlement

Pulling an endless string

From the throat.
