Myth thy chariot
   Sons and hours
Away in a minute
   The queens do scour
Frightened by the pen
Ambient daughters
Frightened by the pen
The sword does slaughter
Paul Rousseau May 2012
Sound pulsates like gelatin from the
Mouths of the starving
Funding for this program was brought to you by the
Mouths of the starving
Torture would be given to the
Mouths of the starving
Power is inpatient because all of us are
     Starving
Paul Rousseau May 2012
The camera fixates on a face
-closer
Dampen the impeding surrenders
September daydreams of Jade
     Natures force was made
For mass production
Paul Rousseau May 2012
Awaken my demons, I’m always at
Bay
Stay
Faces turn slightly, they know me by
Name
Stay
Over the mountains my free will
Escapes
Stay
Guarding you tongue when it likes what it
Tastes
Stay
I’ll let you know
I’ll let you hear
When it falls
When it falls
Paul Rousseau May 2012
Well I’m laughing and I know I
have a choice
static is, and static likes the noise
things may pass so up you shouldn’t dwell
static burns and static likes the smell

all the bee’s are dancing in the air
kiss the grass and I haven’t got a care
it’s funny how the world, it spins so slow
why it does I surely do not know

purple is the color of the sky
love is the answer to the question “why?”
it’s funny how a life, it grows so fast
time may tell but time will never last
Paul Rousseau May 2012
Everyone
In my head, said
In unison
Is everybody in, said
From down here
You mind appears, said
Street lights change
You’ll rearrange, said
Things look different from the ground.
Paul Rousseau May 2012
She loses herself within the pages that he writes
Never knew life could be so bitter through someone else’s eyes
Stabbing you in the back, but what’s the plan of attack
Just to be watching from a distance, the disturbance that you lack

Motionless stuttering aimlessly to the ground
Overwhelmed by the filth that nurtures and surrounds
Your dream-like disorder
Learning as you get older
Not to shake hands with the strangers whose immaturity seems shorter  

Nocturnal
And breathe before the anxiety sets in
Don’t stop just because the direction you’re following could bleed sin
It’s the flow
Of the fluid
To let be
And swim through it
So let’s just smile as the rain hits and keep this ship in movement

No creo
En vivo para su asilo
Ven conmigo

Dynasty dwells on the richer man’s lawn
As she chooses her words carefully
Lips like the pawn
Of the black and white lifestyle
She nods as she sits while
The pulse that once harbored takes its turn to stand trial

Anointed, at last
The shock theory stood chance
But tell me how many licks does it take for you to understand
You’re ignoring too much hurt
The beauty of disturbed
Until god whispered in your ear
The pain fled dispersed

And at first with unreasonable doubt
It felt good to feel new
Empowered by the strength and the wisdom that it grew
Overseen by the temperament
Not knowing where December went
And all I saw within the darkness was a reflection of you
