My armour’s off, love,
I have no fight left in me,
I’m too broken to raise arms
and battle my honour.

Pierce my chest, love,
stab me through my heart,
I am done with loving you
and not loving myself.

Take my soul, love,
the colour of lavender,
its glow has dimmed lately
and it wants to leave.

I can’t win, love,
I never could with you,
so claim another victory
and just let me rest.
I’m afraid to die,
terrified of the vast nothing
creeping up on me.
Lie with me, supine,
on the living room floor.
Hold me close
and tell me it’s ok to be afraid.

I’m afraid to love,
terrified of breaking my heart
when I open it up.
Lie with me, supine,
on our bright green lawn.
Hold me close
and reassure me that love is good.

I’m afraid to live,
terrified of never finding my place
in this huge world.
Lie with me, supine,
on the bedroom floor.
Hold me close
and let me know nothing is in vain.

I’m afraid to die,
terrified of the great darkness
just around the corner.
Lie with me, supine,
on the roof of our car.
Hold me close
and tell me it’s ok to be afraid.

It’s ok to be afraid.
It’s ok to.
Be afraid.

Angels in the filaments,
cracks in the ornaments,
flies in the liniments,
gossamer in the parchments,
devils in the parliaments,
and love on the rocks with no ice.

Someday, this beautiful world of ours will be no more,
love is a drug I want to overdose on.
The blossoms of the pink cherry tree
fall with a calmness through the air,
landing prettily on your coiled form,
this one on your rose red cheek
as you breathe with the universe.
Lying in prayer like an ammonite,
waiting for me to straighten you out,
and I am here, my sweetheart.
Coil no more, reach for the sky with me
and graze the great blue ocean
dangling above our beautiful heads.
I live far beyond the mountains of madness,
where the snow of winter gathers year-round.
I live in an ivory palace decorated with sadness
by a rushing river where many souls have drowned,
and as I gaze upon those stormy waters,
hostility arises from these old bones of mine.
A body came here from beyond the borders,
and left so soon, leaving neither mark nor sign.
How my heart aches for that tempest to return,
how my heart aches for a love lost and spurned.

But other thoughts begin to weary my mind,
her love was false and red flags were waved,
her claws in my heart, I was in such a bind.
There was no one around, I could never be saved,
a monster dressed in colours of summery weather,
a monster created from the depths of resentment.
She had anger in her wings, a blood-red feather
heralding my forthcoming discontentment.
The pen is mightier than the sword, so they say.
My pen will spill more blood than every sword in history.

All I ever was to her was a stepping stone,
“Chew on this for a bit while I search for myself,”
saw this old dog and threw him a ******* bone.
I have a suggestion, have you searched the bowels of hell?
You’re a ****, you see, that’s where you all come from.
***** like you come and go like days of the week.
Now you’re off getting your fix of another guy’s ***,
I hope he’s all you’re after, malleable and meek.
The Queen of *****, hell, the **** of *****,
always on the prowl and always on the hunt.

This is my love poem I dedicate to you,
a carousel of black lies and words that meant nothing.
I hope you find the time to read this, I really, really do,
but you don’t have the ***** to reply, to say a thing.
You’re a coward through and through, always ******* running,
handing out dreams and hope, snatching them back,
but that karmic wheel up there is always turning.
Karma has her eyes on you, you’ll get thrown off the tracks.
******* and all your dreams, your family and life,
my words are here to slice you like a very sharp knife.
Fall in love with a soul
that plays well with yours,
and the flowers of spring
will grow in your heart.
There is no thunder
without rains of August storms,
there is no silence
unless it is heard.

Walk the path you choose
and allows others to walk with you,
sometimes their own paths
join together with yours.
Hold hands with your darkness,
the sun will rise again.
Embrace the silent nights,
that’s when your heart speaks loudest.

Whatever you do in this world,
make it a story worth telling,
future people will look back
and grant you immortality.
You are at your strongest
when making peace with yourself.
Our souls are all connected,
everyone feels the pain.

Your life is blessed with persons
of every colour and creed.
Love each and every one of them,
we share a home together.
We are of the universe
and the universe is of us.
Shine bright like the sun
and reflect light like the moon.
I am made of stardust.  
How freakin' poetic is that?!
