From creation’s fire— flying higher and higher— on currents of invention— literary Lazarus in ascension— firebird burning bright across the endless night, creating evermore— a far-off, lonely shore.

Literary Lazarus
twilight dreams fade into others your shape fades rain says, screams screaming silently clashing quietly mellowness is misty nights under theory

rain floats down here wishing to be free from this cycle cycling around in this phase rain slips through the streets the first cracks wish to be told dreams the second smiles sweetly hoping to fade away and reincarnate quickly this life has treated the rain nicely yet it isn’t selfless so it didn’t acknowledge

rainy reincarnation
Standing on the seashore—crashing, the breakers roar Scanning the horizon for a glimpse of my forever.

Liminal
if it all went away today, would you still be mine? if it all went away today, will i be fine? the clock just ticks away, and these wasted years have left me astray. i can’t re-live, and live in fear, but i don’t know how to set myself free. (is anybody there?) i’m not well, and time will tell when the pieces finally fit together, and i make sense of this hell. if it all went away today, would you still be mine?

would you still be mine?
one step forward, two steps back— one step closer, and I’ll fall in the cracks. hurry now, boys, time won’t wait. the judgement of past conflicts decides my fate. a song and rhythm I didn’t choose— the beat’s got me hooked, and I’m about to blow a fuse. greeted by the monsters in my head, trying to make sense of this existential dread. I just want it to fast-forward— to end. hypnotic, so hypnotic, it’s hard to unwind; every twist and turn makes it harder to find— and get back to baseline. hurry now, boys, time won’t wait. the judgement of past conflicts decides my fate.

judgement of the beat
are you looking to save me— or just trying to betray me? beyond that crooked smile, i see the cracks, the lies. paint me a picture of my future, show me how you fracture and divide. your words from a past life cut clean like a knife— tell me, when did you ever think you were right? 'cause all you do is ruin my life. lay it to rest. let it die. i’m not falling for this fight. i can only imagine the day you move past it in another life. and maybe then you’ll see the light. are you looking to save me— or to save yourself?

Save Me (Another Life)
i’ve been here for days, a constant state of panic that keeps me awake and my nerves frayed. unable to fall asleep, my body can no longer take it— until i crash under the weight, running for cover, scared of slumber where my thoughts plague me, and force me to surrender— a bleak surrender, where the future’s bleaker and i’m too weak to see the other side. they say with thunder comes the rain, but the rain can’t wash these thoughts away. i’m on autopilot, baby, and i can’t feel a thing. i’ve been here for days, a constant state of panic that keeps me awake, that i keep trying to pinpoint, ascertain— why i’m in a constant state of flight or fight when i just want one simple, peaceful night.

a deep slow panic
my heart is under attack and i am hanging by a thread i try to cope, and now i choke on words i should regret i set my boundaries, and now i feel imaginary like an unfinished painting, the brush lays there just dripping reds and blues just looking for a different palette, a different hue, to give me a clue it’ll change for the best now my heart is under arrest and i know life is full of surprises and tests the sun will rise, and the clouds will lift i have to keep my spirits up open my eyes, and hope i won’t collapse— but rise instead under the stress

you've got spirit, kid
My eyes are my truth Two deep ponds, a crystal bright blue They may appear shallow at some angles But the more you get to know me, my soul with reveal itself And only then will you see the ponds are deeper Deep as can be Two never- ending craters, of regret and apathy I’ve spent so long, drowning myself That perhaps I will never make it out The deeper I drift down, the more I think Do I belong on the surface? For what is my purpose, if I mess up everything?

Crater Eyes
I Can't accept the truth baby, ignorance is bliss. I can't escape the memories of all that this is. Rather let them fade away to champagne thrills, falling off the edge of abyss. Rather let them fall like I fell for you. Like the ashes, burning off of this cigarette. Cause I knew it from the start. Every second, every time. I knew you'd break my heart every time we spoke a rhyme. I knew it'd fall apart. Couldn't say that you were mine. But that's just want I want to say because I know it's time. So ask me how I feel. I can't tell what's real. Insist that we would fall apart until you sealed the deal. I wish you said loved me like you said you used to feel. and I wish youd call me baby cause you know I'd hope it's real. But how can I love you if I never loved myself? Like everyday I wake up wishing I was someone else. Cause everyone I know has seen a better side of hell. And you know I fall apart, in the darkness by myself.

She said baby pick your poison We'll silence all the voices we'll **** the Paranoia we're hopin' we're hopin' We don't know where we've been goin' but I know that we've been glowin' we're rollin' we're rollin' we're floatin' we're floatin' Shorty you and I was getting high and living up the moment saw your eyes and they had me feeling golden oh hold it Didn't know where it was goin I'm broken I'm not one to tell a lie, my cup was overflowin' hit my line a couple times and I was falling for it Falling oh **** I just want to freeze this moment I just want to hold it I just can't leave this moment and now I'm frozen I said shorty pick your poison, all the **** the we were smoking all the fear and all the loathing Wasn't loving only coping And I been feeling so numb pale skin n frozen blood nicotine in my lungs falling in and out of love And I know I ain't living right but you know I'll pull up when it's right and I won't deny I'm living quiet on the low dreaming coast to coast. She said baby pick your poison We'll silence all the voices we'll **** the Paranoia we're hopin' we're hopin' We don't know where we've been going but I know that we've been glowin' we're rollin' we're rollin' we're floatin' we're floatin' and she's been living on the low said baby pick your poison if it's me then I'll be goin' if it's me then I'll be goin'

Poison
If gestures be great wonders, I'd build you the pyramids. They'd be as vast and grand as when we gaze into the universe, telling tall tales of stars. And It'd be just you and me. We'd connect the dots in our hearts Well past twilight, in the charm of the dark. and pick our thoughts apart. We'd dance like pups and sing our songs like the foolish children that we are. We'd ride the same frequency revel in our indecencies We'd breath winds of nostalgia. reliving vibrant memories. We'd laugh and joke Listen to rock and roll, smoke northern lights and boundless joys while music vibes with our souls. We'd fall asleep trading treats and body heat. We'd dream of fairy-tale love until the next time we meet. And It'd be just you and me.

You and Me
My love     I will not ask you to be a pigeon or a dove cooing your pleasures away in our liquid moments of love. I will not ask you to be tender or to be a timid voice, suspended in song. If you must be anything, my Eve please be thunder, and shake the foundation of our union with the audacity of your desire. Unleash a cry from within with a purity that vibrates glass. Do not let your touch become ordinary like words uttered without meaning or intent. Do not be a sapphire sky filled with birds in flight. If you choose to be anything, my love, let it be lightning. Yes, be lightning, and write your name across my chest in fluorescent text. Show me what it means to be electrocuted by your nails.
