Im on cloud nine

problem is

You're on cloud eight

Dawn
breaks on an unforgiving world
as night takes flight
in leathery wings transformed to feathers
sonar becoming sonic boom
as ****** reigns
upon the carrions mournful cries
flames burn blurred horizons
as trailing smoke
transmutes
into a flock of fowl tempered crows
seeking to pluck out the eyes of the blind
that cannot see
that the end of man is not if and when
but simply


HOW

Broken and beaten
and yet...

you only make me

stronger.

You didn't rock the boat

you merely sank it ...

deep

In ones kiss may hidden truths be found
by touch and feel devoid of sound
and in these moments let this silence reign
where er' my love we two have lain

---x---

So hush my love and close thine eyes
for what can't speak can ner' tell lies
and let my lips with gentle ease
a tender sigh from thy lips tease

---x---

Lie to me not but lie to me
hear of my heart mine honesty
and know that all unsaid is true
that I will lie always to you

Laid on the floor

spine broken

words like blood

spilt

See that carbon footprint
the one stomped on the earth
the one that you've been treading in
since the moment of your birth
it's the dog **** on the muddy boot
that stinks of gasoline
it's the plastic bag and broken glass
it's the poison nicotine
it's the mattress in the hedgerow
it's the paint can in the lake
It's the acid in the raindrop
and each promise that we break
see that carbon footprint
the one stamped on liquored breath
that's the one you never noticed
until too late the earth faced death
