Rambler In Need
Coca-Cola Eyes
With Heroin Tongue
I Inhale Your Lies
Though It Kills My Lungs
Who Needs To Breathe, Anyways?
Certainly Not I
I've Been Dead Too Long
Come, I Need This High
I Need To Do Wrong
Baby, Let Me Feed This Phase
Because, When Dawn Breaks
I'm Out Of This Place
To Find Higher Stakes
In The Folds Of Lace
But, I Won't Forget Your Face
With Heroin Tongue
I Inhale Your Lies
Though It Kills My Lungs
Who Needs To Breathe, Anyways?
Certainly Not I
I've Been Dead Too Long
Come, I Need This High
I Need To Do Wrong
Baby, Let Me Feed This Phase
Because, When Dawn Breaks
I'm Out Of This Place
To Find Higher Stakes
In The Folds Of Lace
But, I Won't Forget Your Face

Sonnet To Night From His Reckless Lover
My Lover Has Bare Lips and Starry Eyes
Which Mirror Me So I Can't Recognize
The Gentle-Faced, Long-Fanged Femme Fatale
Bearing All The Careless Mercy Of Hell
For I'm Not The Same Person In His Bed
Or, More Likely, For Once I'm Not As Dead
As I've Been Under Day's Autopsy Light
Because My Grave Lies Open In The Night
And Out It's Mournful Mouth Trots A Dark Horse
Plaited In Steel And Lacking All Remorse
For What She's Done And What She Will Become
In The Hysterics Of Her Sweet Succumb
So, Let Me Plummet Into The Night Sky...
Which Mirror Me So I Can't Recognize

Recalling A Child Hood Memory #1
People tend to cry over Spilt Milk, but they'll Beat the Fuck out of Each Other over Spilt Pepsi. What was so Significant about that Artificial, Sugar-Pumped Liquid or how it was even Knocked Over, I'll never Recall. All that comes to Memory is the Fact that it was absolutely Bound to be Tipped Over and when it did, All Hell Broke Loose. It Left a Terrible Stain on Everything, as well. Dark on the Dining Room Table, Scarlet on Her Skirts, Red on His Rough Hands, and Black on My Being, all of which is Still quite Sticky with the Unrelenting Syrup and Clings to Dirt, Dust, and all Damned Things...

What Night Left On My Doorstep.
Gale has a Black Wing
and Widening Eyes
A Voice to Sing-
to Drown Out the Lies
She Cries Out so Clear
the Pain of The Free
The Night leans to Hear
The Night wants to See.
It Was Her
It Was Her
On The Wind
In Night's Arms
Breathless Flight
Reckless Night
It Was Her
In My Path
Flying High
Starry Sky
"Won't You Die!"
"Can I Die?"
It Is Her
Dead At Dawn
On My Lawn
Blue In Face
Breathless Flight
Reckless Night.

Generation Nostalgia
Full Pout pressed against an Empty Wine Glass
Ornate, Sad Eyes envying a Lost Class
Gaudy Gold has long since grown Tarnished
Dancing has Stripped the Floor of it's Varnish
But We Don't Care about the Condition
We like Vintage and Sturdy Tradition
We'll Tread the Track until it's Bare as Bone
Because Luxury is all We've Known
We have been Partying since '99
Built the Palace up for the End of Time
Filled it with the Finest from Past Decades
Playing Loud Music and Ballroom Charades
In the Evening, We Drink Blood and Rust...

Passion's Sonnet
Glittering Chrome on Black like Stars At Night
Ageless Old Man with Narrow Minded Sight
In a Nineteen-Fifties Time Piece(Nameless)
Go for it. Smile at me. I'm Shameless.
Devil Horns on Hand, Devil Horns on Heart
Posed Elegantly for the Throwing Dart
And I Stand All Set but I'm Not Ready
For a Drift so Perfectly Unsteady
But, alas, He moves to the Passing Lane-
A Fleeting Line of Reckless and Profane
I trace with my fingers Still-Hot Skid Marks
As Distant Chrome glitters like Dying Sparks
...and fades into history's hysterics...

Waltzing With Oblivion
Dying Breath caught under a Raven's Wing
Born Again, I cast off my Wedding Ring
My Divorce with Life is Finalized
My eternity has been Crystallized
(To Romp Wildly Across This Frontier
Madly Free Like A Stallion Without Fear
To Laugh And Cry For My Past To The Night
And Find Understanding In It's Star Light)
Catrina doesn't know where Beauty ends
And where Death's fantastic Dream-Scape Begins
She only knows that one leads to The Next
Like the Gradual Ombre of Love and...

Summer Storm
Genuine Leather and Interstate Thrills
That brewing Storm in your eyes gives me Chills
So I run like a Mad Horse into It
Hair like a White Flag in your windy Fit
Tear My World Apart
Set My Heavens Free
Kill My Hateful Heart
'Cause It's Killing Me
I'll meet you at the End of Existence
I'll meet you with Perfect Resistance
Plowing head long into your chest, Your Soul
Because we both Hate that we can't Let Go
Please, Just Dance With Me
On This Brimstone Road
To Eternity
Onto Streets of Gold
No Midnight because...

Supernova
Celestial Dew in My Eyes
atmosphere of weary sighs
I am My Own Gravity
the source of my tragedy
mortal amongst Perfect Stars
struggling marriage with Mars
He knows War and Clearly Sees
It Rages Inside of Me
A Balance Perched on My Back
I'm Measured by what I lack
these scales are weighing me down
But They keep Me off The Ground
"I'm Libra" Is My Torn Cry,
"And I Am Going To Die!"
For My Burden is My Life
It's all My Joy and Strife
I'll Burn Out on The World's stage
In my Self-Made...

Succumb (A Sonnet)
Your ghost tosses blooms into my Bed Head
Satin flecks on a restless Sea of Red
My waist cries out for hands it Never Knew
Gripping me, Bruising me, Reckless Spring Blue
Possess me, because I'm careless enough
But don't cast me away when I get Rough
For my heart is a Blanket of Roses
That seeps Heroin in heavy doses
Prick your fingers on my Venomous Thorns
Let my Vines get tangled on your Great Horns
Gather yourself over me like A Cloud
Powerful and Thunder rolling so Loud
Lightening strike me, set me A-Fire
Inhale me as my...

Damnation and Discontent
I'll break the bird's neck if he doesn't sing
Because I can't stand his willful silence.
I welcomed you, yet you act so rudely
In regards to my lovely violence.
It's a Libra thing.
To find satisfaction in dis-mem-ber-ing
what initially did not satisfy you.
A fantastic fling
To free-fall carelessly in a structured way
Disguising planned sin as legit accidents.
Then straighten the string
And collide abruptly, flawlessly with track
Proclaiming to the crowd it was free-style
So, Little Bird, please sing fondly...
Because I can't stand his willful silence.
I welcomed you, yet you act so rudely
In regards to my lovely violence.
It's a Libra thing.

Capricorn's Fall (A Sonnet)
I knew I'd find you there standing alone
Amidst a sea of dead stars and dry bone
Hands down at your side, pale light on your face
You've found Earth's end, I stand at Heaven's base
Welcome to The Desert, Babe, welcome to Death
Life's much better when you've drawn your last breath
The grey in your eyes never shined so bright
As it does here in the thin, airy night
You troubled yourself with climbing higher
Hell-bent on it, until Hell caught fire
I watched you shoot across the ev'ning sky
As you fell to Earth and...
Amidst a sea of dead stars and dry bone
