Be free my love
Wander the nights stars
Roam planets asunder
From yonder he called for the thunder
Goodbye to my late lover

step onto my ladder
that ascends into the inky sky
stark and dejected i stand
in a senseless void
unawares amongst the black matter
light rained in on no man's land
a dream, a fire, a meteoroid
do trepid fingers dare
reach for a golden dream
whose brilliance may blind?
welcome to my mind

murky water swim forth
days passed and i can't decide
swollen and shiftless along a river due north
her shores speaking hallowed words to me
keep your pride
in our lies did we collide?
give me back my ****** earth
cleanse my body rinse my mind
a rebirth

the end
is nigh

when ink blots drip on stark white pages  
curling and crawling along
the crisp white of paper
telling a chilling tale
of something sinister

it lurks in depths of devilry
heavy darkness scraping down strong
dragging its spiny black fingers along
the remnants of cordiality
puncturing at the corners of rationality
drowning all logicality
for you know it writes scouring all identity
building demons in intensity
peaking in tantalizing brutality

its contempt robs the light of your pages
albeit, this is a story familiar to all ages
for you know the chronicle of this beast
he who bloodies his teeth
as a begrudging and hateful feeder
whose name

is Jealousy
dear reader

theres a dreamer who likes to dream
and what else can make the realist scream?
i’ll paint you a world you don’t need to believe
just play along with me
walking contradictions, i know
yet these dreams feed my soul
don’t mistake the game for naivety
its multidimensional, theres worlds we can’t see
so come with me down the rabbit hole
lets play at free
don’t be afraid, we’ll return. I have that **** phd.

autumn leaves and the summer breeze
will you keep me in your dreams?
broken, stolen
how fast the snow brought us to our knees

midsummer nights 
the stars and moon to hear all our dreams
falling apart in a bar with the tears and the beer 
and the breaking of our seams 

passions producing the end of sweet esteems
dishonesty and disinterest or was it my dreams?
running wild, you or i?
who must be freed? 
don’t say bye
leave it be 
why pretend you don’t know me
we were lost even in proximity 

feeling free we ran into the ocean 
the stars honeyed light on our skin
clothes lay on the sand laughter lay on the air, so open 
so open
let it all begin 

drunken nights dancing in bars 
kissing in cars 
your touch giving me life
under the covers on days eve
you told me i promise ill never leave 

disentangling from your disappeared embraces 
poison mind leave me free of your faces
it was you forever i guarantee
but i guess i was the bird 
And now I’m free

you cry for the both of us

your demons so ******* treasonous
ill hold you tight on those dark nights
please live this life in that firelight
remember me
carefree
laughing and dancing
before a black sea

rest your head on my shoulder
ill keep those demons at bay
closer now the nights getting colder
give me your demons we’ll parley

look now
a moody sea conjuring composure
behold her
stars light on that night enfold her

promise me
you’ll be
eternally leading those demons astray
come to me
resting 6 feet under our cherry tree
since they'll search for your tears on my deaths day
but o, i’ll be sheltering you from amidst the stars
where i wait in heaven’s archway

i smile for the both of us
