Here I am alone again
In my bedroom with the ceiling lights
Flickering in the rain and thunder
Your phone call is the only thing
That keeps me awake
Away from a handful of pills
We had our fair share of pain
I know I'm weak, but the high
Is all I can get
You're the only thing
That's in my way
To a peaceful eternal sleep
That thought keeps me awake
'Cause you're beautiful
And the sun looks wonderful
In your black hair

wondering
do you ever wonder why,
as i drive by,
how i throw my cigarette out the window?
so violently..
it's because i dont want it..
to fly back in.
sometimes i think,
you're just like that cigarette.
you fly back in..
unbeknownst to me
and burn my carpet.
leaving another mark,
so subtle.
yet another reminder,
of my black lungs
and black heart.
no thanks,
to you.

There's never a dull moment
When the fires of Hell are alight
The children of God peer at us and lament
Ignorant of the drivel of souls in Styx
Pluto oversees with apathy
Breathing draconian air, that is no escape
We are on the cusp of death even when we are alive
Our sadness is sweet
Like Orpheus to Eurydice
Like Patroclus to Achilles
And Hades receives peace from seething fiery torment
No pain receded, yet there is no dull moment
When Cereberus breathes
As the slaves lay and cower at some kingly darkness
Sinister as the unseen force shattering the hearts of Greeks at Troy
Euphrosyne shall no longer dance for joy
That beauty poisoned by viper and ****** to tragedy
The warrior, Ares-like, who seeks salvation
****** to revenge
Orpheus plays his Aeolian harp to soothe his lover
His hair donned by halo
Achilles seeks eternal glory
Unrelenting to dozens who lay at his feet

I'm a fish in the sea
The sea and ocean are worlds apart
But, there are a plenty of fish in the sea
I guess I am in such beauty

True as ice and fire
When Prometheus set fire to the sky
Zeus the Thunderer ties his chest to a rock
Zeus is cold
I'm in such beauty

I'm a writer
Who makes a few cents
For his nonsense
They call it Gonzo and he made a name
Cause in such beauty that's only open to some of the hippies

I see beauty all these weird people
The universe is so diverse and feeling
That pigeons crowd the steeple
Every evening to talk us
Biden's won and there's such goodness in India
But we lost the rich to the count

Better income, tax breaks for the middle class
Much more beauty on Planet Earth
Just what we need

The sea breeze touches my parted lips
My parched throat longs for water
My aching body hurls itself on the shore
The spinning shoreline suddenly darkens
As if the hounds of hell ascended
It's insensate, paralyzing screams penetrate the sky
Her eyes are the first green I see
They permeate my body
And she closes her arms
Around me, lifting me to the crying heavens
The fish will always swim beneath

Poised is the night
Relaxed is the sultry tide
Sun is like a speck in the sky
Moon is like a pebble on the shore
One covered by horizon
And the other blanketed by the ocean
The skyline extends and she kisses my cheek
Trees rustle in the wind
And obstinate leaves fall hastily
Her kisses mean so much
Her body lies on the water and sand
Life's always a constant rush
But, the strands of her hair envelope my face
I get lost in her scent
It smells salty and like freedom
I have to free myself from such dreams
That make me laze in the sun as I look at her auburn skin
The sea breeze touches my lips
