Twirling on an oil slicked floor


Faster
Faster

Never stopping to see for sure

Faster
Faster

If what you want is the cure

Faster
Faster

For your pulsing heart
Faster Faster
Growing close

STOP


as you slip
and your feet
are no longer
beneath you
and in slow motion face the ground
beneath you
and it swallows you up
the darkness intruding
on your vision
closing in
on your dreams
as you slip
past the incongruities
of destiny and fate
of love and lust
of passion and gentleness
and all
Is Still.

the good thing about love is it has this speed, so rapidly hemorrhaging the skin
to dye the eye take a peek in the scope
a prism, spectrum, cycle of bursting shades
it's no trick, darling, beauty is decked in these striped halls and passageways
fasterfaster now, light must go, to meet its fragile fate
(it meets your eyes and lives through you)

We write poems and songs
Of romance when our hearts beat
Faster and f a s t e r

It's beautiful
It's romantic
It's poetic

Unless the fast pace
Doesn't stop
Hours and hours
Pass me by
It gets faster

There's no calm in sight
My chest is clenching
Not for love
Not for beauty
Only cruelty

Days and days pass
It still last
Fasterfaster
Beatbeatbeatbeat

I can't win in this life
No matter the precaution
I keep falling
Into new depths
And deeper crypts

Of terror
