My Warrior Woman
With every inhale I pass through you
each cell of your radiant body ignites
with your every exhale I am reborn
as a vague image in a mirror's light
held in the eyes of a single Angel
and so I ly my head in your arms,
close my eyes,
and awake as a single syllable
passing through your lips
grateful to spend a mere moment
within your mind and mouth
and even as my flame flickers and fades
as your breath blows it away
I search your longing eyes like scripture
for Salvation never present,
never saved.

I'm seriously considering blowing my brains out,
Gray matter that used to hold my consciousness
now plastering the walls behind my carcass.
       Blood Art,
a new cultural norm for an over populated planet.
Euthanasia be dambed lets ****
the innocent,
the consumer,
the ******.
I could cure this planet of all it's problems
if only I had more ink in my pen
and more shells in my Shotgun

It starts as a small voice, a quiet whisper
at a pitch just outside your conscious thought
then it's slowly building steam
The drums get louder and coal is shoveled faster
the idea begins to pick up speed
and its voice gains a bit of volume
You hear it and dismiss it,
not even a fleeting pulse
Selective hearing in the emotional spectrum
Keep stepping forward it will fade
We don't talk about it
It's just our way
But that little demon has some great ambition
to pull you off your cloud.
You've told your every love goodbye
So you reach for the Sun
and fall from the sky
Cause you never had wings
that could reach that high

We think it's more than instinct
humming streetlights sing another song.
So we stop with the excuses
cause its just two of us tonight

What's a little bit of snow (when its)
Tomorrow's tomorrow,
Tomorrow, we'll forget everything we know.

Did we misplace that feeling in the dark,
the O.C.D. of a mimicked memory.
Reaching for the single night stand,
cause everyone needs a little light to bath in.

What's a little bit of snow (when it's)
Tomorrow's tomorrow,
Tomorrow, you'll forget everyone you know.

There's still the echos of the squall,
and save for the smell you're gone.
Long ago left out in the cold,
another spell that came out wrong.

What's a little bit of snow (when it's)
Tomorrow's tomorrow,
Tomorrow, we'll forgive everyone we know.

Oh what hopeful prayer i send to thee,
In this my hour of misery.
A belligerent death has done so wrong,
A wind has blown with brothers gone.
A face not mine in reflection i see,
and mirrors now they frighten me.
A voice of better times sowing mines,
and my eyes kept missing the growing signs.
The sight of razors such a heavy weight
this stretch of rope and a growing fate
It takes fifteen feet or five minutes of blood
the thoughts come on like a raging flood
so I raise my sword to fight this more,
though one day life will lose this war.

Such a sweet lack of simplicity in what i feel for this desire.
A voice, a push, a lust bellowing from the bowls of my experience,
while wisdom binds my hands from behind.
such a sweet torture we all endure from the glances we give each other.
Yet the leap, the faith, the touch is too much for any to bear,
when two souls collide.
So we look down, look away, look again
and a frustration of emotions rises and falls like a cruel yo-yo.
Then we accept what we cannot want, cannot think,
cannot do in this kind of lifetime.
So we gather up and offer our illusions and keep passing unseen through little moments of other people's lives.

This is... well this is an awakening
the fifth step for all you flagrants out there
I realize a lot of things about myself, about my life
I'm a luckless *****
without the sickle or the sores
and I bleed for every moment that I get
and I drink for those I don't
Time
time is something I always had
yet couldn't put it in a bag
and sell it to the masses
so I spent it
frugality was something misunderstood
and we saw all we had fade away
money my new greed
a backwards creed for a backwards need
to be more than content
the tones and tapping of the fingers and well lets face it, Satan *****
I want metal, I want steel, I want rope burns
decadence
such a sly word for something you need
its not the *** its not the drugs
its the bugs and hugs
and the people you meet
so send me away make me more
mold me I'm yours
but this is a confession and not salvation
nothing I say here will ever matter
yet I'm writing for an audience
so believe me or not
but let me show you the brew
a dash of daring
a splash of liquid courage
an eye of lustlessness
that's all it takes for me and you
and these sheets
and a flower and a fleeting emotion
so I disappear
between a blink and a tear
and I wish you all a fond farewell..
