Start to Finish
The day you were born I gave birth to love.
The day you died love exploded into the universe and you were everything, everywhere!
I am never without you.
The day you died love exploded into the universe and you were everything, everywhere!
I am never without you.

stagnant
innards paralyzed
numbles twinge, reverberate
break from the stagnant
numbles twinge, reverberate
break from the stagnant

Of Shades and Hue
I count the shadows
A collector of grisailles
I paint the darkness
A collector of grisailles
I paint the darkness

Daydreaming
Daydreaming about how awesome I am
So lost in thought I do not see the tram
Yes siree, I’m pretty good aren’t I ---SLAM!
So lost in thought I do not see the tram

Disembodying
A queasy stomach
Palms sweat, body shakes, weak knees
The fleeing begins

Panic Attack
I’m gasping for air
Arms flailing nothing to grasp
I’m drowning in fear

Requiem
Grave silence
Risen from
all depths
Floating
Into akashic ash
You were
my inseperable
reflection
Prospered
Into one body
we survived
Speaking out
Into
Earthquakes
Tongue tied
We taste
death's dew
Risen from
all depths
Floating
Into akashic ash
You were
my inseperable
reflection
Prospered
Into one body
we survived
Speaking out
Into
Earthquakes
Tongue tied
We taste
death's dew

Doomed
Our task as poets
is to feel and feel it all
no matter the hell.
is to feel and feel it all
no matter the hell.

eyes
intricate darkness
extinguish my emptiness
dance upon blue skies
extinguish my emptiness
dance upon blue skies

The Art of Madness
So he lied,
and cheated,
and wore his madness
like a coat...
and cheated,
and wore his madness
like a coat...

Persephone
To rise to Heaven
You must walk through your own hell
but I like it here.
You must walk through your own hell

pitch-black
gift me your black hole
envelop and tether me
snuff all lights within
envelop and tether me
snuff all lights within
