you came slithering in my room dressed in mysterious shapes finding dark corners to play in whispering magical thoughts of illusion you shake the soft spot of my foundation I fallowed you down by the lake where you show me that the water is really green you caught an odd colored fish and ripped the meat from its bones you showed me it was nothing but the skeleton of my dead grandma lost upon my last fading memory in the woods we found messages carved into trees they have been blackened by the souls of dead lovers hard to read we try to decode their passion what destruction lies behind beauty's door? so mysterious that they were forgotten before ever written we walked upon these empty roads for days losing all signs of amity you stopped where the hills ended and said: *love is a perilous journey of all sun and no rain when rainbows are destruction to sad faces how can I ever find happiness?* she kissed my lips then said: my kisses are like land mines tick, tick, tick, your heart stops. my shaking bones fell to the floor as I watched her vanish into the thick mist I came upon a bare oak tree still chard from its last message I chipped away the ashes and carved happiness is only the beginning

Where the Dead Things Grow
you came slithering in my room dressed in mysterious shapes finding dark corners to play in whispering magical thoughts of illusion you shake the soft spot of my foundation I fallowed you down by the lake where you show me that the water is really green you caught an odd colored fish and ripped the meat from its bones you showed me it was nothing but the skeleton of my dead grandma lost upon my last fading memory in the woods we found messages carved into trees they have been blackened by the souls of dead lovers hard to read we try to decode their passion what destruction lies behind beauty's door? so mysterious that they were forgotten before ever written we walked upon these empty roads for days losing all signs of amity you stopped where the hills ended and said: *love is a perilous journey of all sun and no rain when rainbows are destruction to sad faces how can I ever find happiness?* she kissed my lips then said: my kisses are like land mines tick, tick, tick, your heart stops. my shaking bones fell to the floor as I watched her vanish into the thick mist I came upon a bare oak tree still chard from its last message I chipped away the ashes and carved happiness is only the beginning
