#disillusion
even when my lungs have shredded and my throat is dried to the extreme, i'll tell you over and over. but still you refuse to adhere to your ears and you carry on anyway. will it take ten thousand others to have you give me even a decibel? or maybe if beg and beg you'll feel a pinch of responsibility to listen? i think i'm about to tip over from the disillusion that's accumulated. i ask you yet again for once would you just listen?

for once would you listen?
All those years i flew alone longing for comfort but rejecting your illusion you were my best together inseparable separated and judgmental i always hated your confidence wishing you detested anything of mine i let you go on your way you must have known i couldn't keep up years and stories passed by our meetings seldom then one night far from our forgotten friendship i met the devil he offered me a body and i injected it freely he gave me confidence and i smiled thinking heaven hazing into a person I found love all while keeping the devil tucked into my pocket when time went by and stole away my love the devil changed he took away a piece of my soul leaving me blind in the dark all those years i flew alone today , months , times later i can see it all so clearly what a marvelous failure i lived faltering and falling failing behind flash, trash becomes sight set, picture taken flash, flash flash, and done but to the devil i can only say i'd do it all again whisper into my ear lie away my lust give me all your sin.

Then one night I met the Devil
You came to me again, Quite suddenly and unwanted, Into my humdrum life, So chaotic and disheveled. You tried to tell a lot. You hurried up, your thoughts were scaped. You told a lot and sputter But even so you weren’t lightweigt. You stood firmly at the window. You believed in your own myth. Your fingers nervously tugged the curtains. I prayed “Go away”, but you didn’t leave. The sunlight stroked the top of your head. And you told and told… I knew it was lie. You looked at me ******* up your eyes As if I was your longed-for pie. I was silent. I didn’t break in. You told, no look somebody else. I was in pain and I picked out That you loved not me but only yourself.

Unwanted
I run away from myself. I don’t know where. Maybe where no one can find me, never. Maybe where I can be myself as such. Where it doesn’t matter whether I’m genius or nothing much. I run away from myself. And I don’t hide. Even though no one will think of me, if I’m not specified. Even though no one will regret or sadden. I’m like a ship: it’s sailed and totally forgotten. I run away from myself. Don’t follow me. No need to! I really doubt that my future truly suits you. Stay here as if you didn’t know me at all. I’m like a ticket: it’s simply to lose me in whole.

I run away from myself
I’ve had enough I’ve almost broken. I’m not in pain, But peace is gone. I won’t believe So blind and thoughtless Forget all hurts I’ll close my door. I’ve clear today The love is dangerous. You’re banned from love Mindless and fool. It is taboo To give so stupidly, To agonize And to betray your soul. It is taboo To love in spite of Your mind, your fear Against yourself. You must remember Don’t forget that You’re the one! Don’t give a **** I’ve had enough No faith, no love at all. I’m not in pain, But calm and emptiness in whole.

I’ve had enough
I’m walking down the street alone. My glance is listless into vacancy. My heart is now a granite stone. Nothing can hurt it more. It’s blessy. I’m walking freely and no-fault. I am alone and I’m forgiven. For blind and reckless love for good, For life devoid of mind and meaning. I’m moving forward and don’t care That nothing is in front and rear. Only a silent emptiness is inside No whisper and no groan… All died… I’m walking quetly and slow. I have no faith, no hope, no love. My love is tired, weakened whole. It moved away from here. No half.

I'm alone
Ela é o motivo de estarmos aqui Ela aprecia Ela despreza Ela recorda Ela desvanece Ela tem saúde Ela adoece Ela cura Ela fere Ela ama Ela odeia Ela cria Ela incendeia Ela é minha Ela é nossa Ela é o motivo de nós partirmos Cuide da imaginação.

Vida
the light through the window and pours past the wooden floorboards, flowing over the walls and stain-glass and here I am again, hands clasped tightly, and the open air and breathing deep as though the taste is somehow different here though I know it not to be true and the hush which I am afraid to break; to break is to bend and I, unyielding, cannot fall here – what else is there – a failure of faith in the faithless and beseeching someone out there to listen. And the stone that falls the other way and I am witnessing another day and it perches upon the watch and it must be Tuesday again.

A Focus whence magic once shone Rainbow beams from beauties sown Focus shifted by my play of light Thence shadows made nurture the blight I am searching (darkness creeping) I am searching (drowning, choking) For what? For what…?

En the beginning's falsehood, a soul astray, He shared his nights with another, hearts led astray. Series watched with another, a tale untold, Deception woven in the stories that enfold. May's end brought us together, a June so bright, Yet beneath the surface, shadows took flight. All that glitters, not gold, I came to see, In this web of deceit that entrapped you and me. Speaking of her ignites anxiety's fire, In his upbringing, a lesson dire, Not taught that one nail can't free another, In a house where truth was smothered. No innocence pure, I admit my part, Playing with fire, I knew it from the start. Into the volcano, I dove with no care, Knowing its flames could only ensnare. Before slumber claims me, his voice I hear, "High to Saturn, we'll journey without fear." Planning to escape to distant skies, Where our energy as stardust flies. Yet I confess, mistakes were sown, A tale of errors, both of us have known. Clumsy hands break all they touch, A metaphor for the love that meant so much. Selflessness masquerades as love today, "I love you" weakened, its strength decayed. My wish was simple, to match my devotion, Yours to mine, a reciprocal emotion. Expression falters, truth often veiled, Deceptive words and stories curtailed. But mark my words, love never ceased, From inception till now, it hasn't released. Age might be a factor, youth's lack of grace, Or maturity's absence, in love's chase. Could I reverse time, a wish so keen, To never cross paths, erase where we've been. Loving you shouldn't demand a cost, A mutual bond, not forever lost. Perhaps you've moved on, my name erased, In a new story, a fresh path retraced. Still, as sleep takes hold, your words resound, "Never leave me," the echo profound. If time rewound, those three words I'd say, Unspoken affection finding its way. At the same hour, on the same day, To our meeting spot, I find my way. Should you pass by, a simple "hi" to convey, A hopeful heart lingers, come what may.

Composed
The hubris of Man, to think we matter, that our acts or life have any worth I proclaim it rotten like so much mirth The poor get poorer, the rats grow fatter so spread not your lies, for I know better The Void left our values a still-birth We're cells further growing this cancer's girth climbing higher on a failing ladder Thus let us burn, we don't deserve a knife let roam the terrors I dream of nightly, open Pandora's box now, loosen its clasp Let the End come now, there's no after-life it'd change nothing, most just stare on blankly And talk not of Love, it's out of my grasp

The Hubris
This room, a field of shattered daisies Stalks of withered doubt break in the breeze Wishing wells of hope lie drained and rank It all falls to the rhythm of your lies Storms melt the ozone above Stippling the rain as it falls on my tongue Burning me with fire cold as your blood And the dark cadence of your voice Raggedy songs twist like vines over the rooftops Shivering me as they echo down forever streets Drawing musty shadows from forgotten gardens Lavished with neglect While l, clad in dry withered leaves and A sulk of brambles Fall with the Seasons, trembling like a leaf Under coverlets, sewn with promises of comfort Stitches undone by deceit Night’s peace yields to floods of unquiet Squalls of questioning And a tree tap tapping staccato sympathy On the window, the wall, my bones Time slips through tangles of sleep And stubborn naive obsession My heart beats a hailstorm of disillusion Watching mirrors fox all your reflections My innocent love lies crucified In the orbs of your Narcissus eyes

Narcissus Eyes
In restful sleep I've wandered to a land far and beyond, Where banes, which, present, ******* me, have left me - far and gone. Where havoc and the woes of life drift off to nullity, And the breaths I took, for once, for once, came in tranquility. For, gone were my anxieties, and absent were all tragedies, Rubs of which make living a great bane on my reality.                                                         ... But, by morn's time, the waking from the dream blighted the peace I'd found. Worries and pernicious troubles, soon flocked back: a pack of snarling hounds. (From their mouths did drip my dreams, which had been tattered at the seams; Left in a state of disrepair, of which did cause me to despair - For nothing else I did much care, but had much longing for those dreams Which were now gone, ripped at the seams)                                                        ... Alack! what is this life to those who've cast their eyes on better things which lay, Beyond the fringe of this existence, a land which living keeps at bay? 'Tis but a walk of sullen gloom, of which feels much like hellish doom Though trying, never to break through, until you're sleeping in your tomb, Where all the learning, of the wise, are shut into your pallid eyes, Where all the learning, of the wise, are locked behind your pallid eyes.

walk in a wildfire
Three syllables should roll easy, yet sear acidic the tongue, refusing formation of empty expression. The sun shines no brighter than the struggling bedside light, and rivers flow no fresher than saliva leaked in sleep. The malodour of rank roses drifts from every kitchen, where flies **** on dishes of all the dinners not savoured. Inside we search for desire; in drains, under beds, between stale sheets.  The arid well resists fornication as we ***** for absent frisson, the floral miasma lingering, as if to scoff.

Mimetic desire.
may these words ignite shame in your throat so you can feel the red hot, of rage and disillusionment may these words, welt your skin, like apathetic whipping and bruise your pride with uncontrollable whimpers may these words flay and pierce your skin, like unforgiving shrapnel, staining your lovely supple skin, with the most beautiful crimson dye and feel the loss, of faith, of purpose, of love may these words set fire to your soul and feel the agony I know so well, because lord knows, you never had mercy on me

I've forgotten what it felt like being with you. Who I was when I was with you. The women I flirted with loving through your eyes.

w/ you
Rapt by prognosis, sterile elocution Acute halitosis, banal delusion Digital notice of distant retribution Thrombosis will move you before revolution Brash adolescent right-side part, Strand obsolescence, abstract art Pinstripe filaments, two turned backs Bowed in benevolence, borrowing slack Hieroglyphic ruminations, Plastered protestations. Muscle memory incantations, Aquifuge of patience. Future shock, feminists ride-centaurs Skin-tan hedonists reside-indoors Tin-can telephone spinal chord, Sings-an injured semitone final word 40 years since you were a punk

Thrombotic Erotica
What is the magic the aristocracy was entitled to rule over us? Binding us to society and the rules of the unknown and the unimportant, the weak and the lost only allowed to suffer. What is the magic where the thieves and fools fight for bloodless gold? Lulling my darkest silence to slumber, lest the compassion shatter like glass slippers that slay soft flesh. What is the magic of those forgotten words of corrupt innocence? Where birds were birds, monsters were monsters, the notion of humanity slipping away from my happy beginning. What is the magic that forces me to lust over every failed perfection? Prayers unspoken and thoughts from promises I’ve only begun to remember. But we can never go back to those times so long before. I can only hope that you’d come quietly in through that chained door.

My Stepmother's Peace
I remember standing 'round with the houses burning down around us-- --Shrugs. Not even ducking our heads. "Well, there goes the neighborhood and I suppose the timing's good," is all I can recall of what you had said. They never wanted compromise. And we were not too keen on listening in. We'd always ignore consequence's size. Now we're running, trying to mail our checks in. We want a means of egress. Yeah, just a means of egress. It's just a means of egress. That's all we really need right now. They're coming, cracking knuckles now, intent on cashing debts on our hides. They'll lift their dividends out of our loot unless we chase the setting sun to Telluride. We never wanted compromise So we put our neighborhood to the match. Our detractors sporting cross hairs for eyes are salivating for the thrill of the catch. We need a means of egress. We seek a means of egress. It's just a means of egress. That's what we really need right now. It's all we really need right now. It's the only thing we need right now. I remember standing 'round with the houses burning down around us-- --Shrugs. Not even ducking our heads.
