you know you've gotten away with everything
except your mental health
the love of the world dies within you
and you rely on paranoia and stealth
to get away with everything
remains the only goal
looking for a tomorrow
to try and fill the hole
you feel within you
emptiness within you
no one else would live a life like this
unless they felt that gnawing
that screaming cursing burning, drawing
you to the brink
loosing your mental health

he walked so well, the fine line:
between humour and horror.
laughing at the broken people
do they not understand?
they are alive?

it would be easy
to leave a man such as this, alone.
hardest to keep him safe from himself

glowing in his eyes
a certain madness is defined
giggling. a well refined
lack of control

i didnt doubt his capability
in the sightless dark
i was afraid of what those eyes
were thinking

it was destruction
it was madness
it was a choice
it was a cheshire cat smile
and mad hatter speech

he was oozing the poison
of a snapping mind
dropping into the streets
at the ungodly hours
to wander...
remembering there is nowhere to go

my friend i cannot do
but hope and smile
and give you warmth.
but im so afraid that love
cannot patch the hole...
wherever it may be.

soaked deeply in sunlight's yellow
wandering nomad, travelling fellow
you follow the dust of another's dream
in the gravel crunch and rail yard scream

cigarette butts and unwashed hair
he's forever too far away to care
another sip, another bottle
hop a train and be gone tomorrow

no subtle emotions made the lines on your face
but you know every story has its place
following the light, nomad of the sunshine
heart wrapped up and your hands entwine

cream over lips
and grey cement
heart flips
rains do repent
chain links
spray of surf
soul sinks
into earth
lost connection
final birth
eyes in reflection
of frozen turf
blue hookah
cold sky
frozen buddha
silent why

i would have liked to say
something that mattered
but
there has in recent years
grown to be a hideous inflation
of opinions
and you will find, so many
that you will find
they are worth
very
little.
in fact maybe
worthless.
so
cast aside
such limiting thoughts
set to rest
the binding
of your mind
and i will take your hand
and explore
a world without
borders
a world without
opinion

the human problem seems to me
that we are, but cannot be
whole without another soul.
and to complete our heart
there seems to be a part
that we are missing.
... so fill it with kissing
or it may be your fall
dousing it with alcohol,
or substances, or god.
who remains a fraud,
but can fill the hole of love
though not all of the above^
for he cannot love you back
and you'll know this lack
lack of flesh is fact.
here you've learned
love needs to be returned.
and love should be spread
get it through your head:
love doesn't mean commitment
there is no reason to dissent
in love we are one being
one moment but fleeting
though the unity is there.
and what more can we share
than a naked mind, body, and heart
take this feeling to every part
of your life, and such strife
will fall away from you
for in this world, love is true.

move against my soul
smooth spontanious
sweet exhilaration
lusts anticipation
beautifully entwined
electric fire runs
blue and violet
through my mind
calm smiles
warmth in comfort
serenity and elation
graceful revelation
all you know is each other
you need one another
feelings uplifting
senseless sensation
craving you presence
