Sit with me brother
Watch
As the world turns
And burns
Breaths filled with smoke
And the broken hope
Of machines
As our very last friend
Taste its pleasure
As I laugh at jokes
Inside this heart of solitude
Seeing the patterns
Of a morphine drip
Lead straight to your thoughts
Life's last request
To be held
Till your end

You could leave
But you can't go
I can still feel you in my soul
And for you to carry this away
I guess you'll have to stay
Or you'll end up alone
Please know
I can still smell you in my clothes

All
Window storm
Refraction of opal hair
Gatherings of a salvaged flock
Incomprehensible
A series of melted bruises
Final lap of my somnolence
Short of my hands around your throat
You may promise nothing
Stop us

Your breath held undying
Cloned eyes
Gazing a solitary entrance
Loneliness sequence
Capturing a scarab in synesthesia

Just keep me alive
Sleep pendulation
Deluxe cell reincarnation
Mercy lays upon you adept and compatible
Subliminal narration
Your recurring shadow children
Unfiltered anguish
Disillusionment
Cruelly I recall

We wish to know our own names
Sounds of thunder move you inside
 Jan 2016 John B

I still would not believe you
A smell of damage
Laughing as your nightmare flickers
Vague proclamation to destroy
Asleep on a girl's hips
Our insanity has fallen by the river
Why must it be like this

Let's pretend you love me
That your eyes shine just for me
Let's pretend we're happy
That our love burns bright and free

Let's pretend the world
Is what we want to see
And every time we close our eyes
It is only you and me

Let's pretend the struggles
Are all in our past
And we are in the future
Where we can never move too fast

So let's pretend you love me
And I will play along
Because baby you might not realize
But I have loved you all along...
