Aphrodite for lost souls
Aphrodite barters for lost souls.
A facade of sunshine from twilight unfolds.
The siren sings songs in Lucifer's name
Angels fall from Heaven like a downpour of rain.
What dreams you've suffered from another's sleep.
Won't save your eyes from the ghosts that you seek
Taste the wine, bare forbidden fruits
Say your prayers, still the joke is on you.
Save the child, just to sacrifice yourself
The fork in the road leads straight to Hell.
Hear their whispers, feel their screams
Tune it out,...

A conversation with Luci (True story bro entry)
A conversation with Luci" (speaking to my inner child)
Hey Luci.....Yeah, I know it's not your real name....... Yeah, I know why she calls you that too. ......I know because she still calls you that..... Yeah, I'm future you...... "old you" You say? I like future you better, but Yeah we can go with that. I guess from where you're at 34 seems pretty old. 1987 seems like such a long time . For me it was a long time ago. I know you can't wrap your brain around it right now, but you're going to get through this. Your Mama doesn't really think you are the devil. She...

Down
Desolate, this island of darkness
born of lucid dreams
Time, slips away
Astral planes shifting
Defying gravity
As I drift along the abstract
Against dull, robotic movements
of the void
Take a pill to stay awake
Another just to concentrate
something else to take the edge off
While I keep pushing it's envelope
Anything to avoid sleep
Because I don't want to watch
All these memories I'm hiding from
And, I don't want to miss a moment
of what's left of this borrowed time
That's already gone ...

Secret garden
I turn to stone, like these statues that surround me
My longing, now monumental
with feet firmly planted to the ground
Desire that once burned within me
Now decorative.
Vines of roses shine so vibrantly
Encasing memories of hope, and youth
Beneath the morning sun
Beauty is the dew that dampens cold cheeks
Like tears that fall in mourning
When need so faithfully departs
I sink into the soil
cast away with best laid plans
Good intentions forsaking me, lingering
Against oblivion, behind the turned back
Of Fury's abaddon
Into this...
My longing, now monumental

cast away with best laid plans

Moment of truth
The heart drinks her sorrows away
to convince herself she's not afraid
to break, while stagnant
rivers of blood lay still
The temperature drops again
In the meantime silence makes
it's self known
Frozen, this moment of truth
When the fact of the matter is
She made her last beat
Before emptying her glass
to convince herself she's not afraid
to break, while stagnant
rivers of blood lay still
The temperature drops again
In the meantime silence makes
it's self known
Frozen, this moment of truth
When the fact of the matter is
She made her last beat
Before emptying her glass

Suffer for you
When I gaze into your eyes
I can feel your energy change
It's like I'm standing inside the
abyss with you, looking
Into the void.
It's like an apparition on my back
with this ominous feeling I get
When you look me over and smile .
I can feel you take me
No need to be touched
I know what you're thinking
So you don't have to say it.
You tether, taunt, twist
Got me wrapped around your
Finger...
Bind me to your will
So around the bend
You can watch me break.. ...

I'm afraid (a dribble)
I'm afraid...
If I close my eyes..... I might forget your face.
If I fall asleep I might want to stay there.
Blissfully unaware of your mortality, and that
Secret you like to keep.
about how you're already gone. ..
Before having the chance to walk in this dream of mine.
If I close my eyes..... I might forget your face.
If I fall asleep I might want to stay there.
Blissfully unaware of your mortality, and that

A tear in the cloud
I saw a tear in a cloud today..
I thought of you..
When the rain fell like tears
I wondered....
If I'm allowed to miss you.
If it was your essence
telling me it's okay if I do...
I watched the florescent colors
Shift from blues and pinks
to powder white
And charcoal black
the sky was weeping with me
Washing away mascara
stained cheeks ..
I was cold...
You were warm..
Your absence is a quiet cloud...
Your memory breaks it's silence
With tears in rain
I remember..
For a moment you were...
I thought of you..
When the rain fell like tears
I wondered....
If I'm allowed to miss you.
If it was your essence
telling me it's okay if I do...
I watched the florescent colors
Shift from blues and pinks
to powder white
And charcoal black
the sky was weeping with me
Washing away mascara
stained cheeks ..
I was cold...
You were warm..
Your absence is a quiet cloud...
Your memory breaks it's silence
With tears in rain
I remember..

Blind
I inhale all the burgundy
hues of passion
that fuels my rage.
Love stems from my heart
like a wilting rose that's thorns
Prick my mind
Every time I speak.
My voice is an echo
Lost in the distance
Never making it's way to you
Because every time I move my lips
The words get caught on my tongue
Thick like the trails of my breath
I choke on my pride
Swallow my ego
wait for the colors to fade
Only to watch them ignite
then explode in the sky
Like a fire burning against my face.

Shadows
Over reacting again...
Hearing that voice.
The one that echoes through the night
Taunting me..
These cravings I can't control
Got me feeling weak.
And, I don't know if I'm strong enough to fight
This time...
"Hitchhikers catch a ride, come catch a ride with me."
She says
"I'll just bring my demons, they always find you anyway."
She's shadow walking the shadow roads
back to someone else's dream.
It still gets lonely there.
Transcending through the parallel of darkness.
Is it me, or is it her?...
Hearing that voice.
The one that echoes through the night
Taunting me..
These cravings I can't control
Got me feeling weak.
And, I don't know if I'm strong enough to fight
This time...
"Hitchhikers catch a ride, come catch a ride with me."
She says
"I'll just bring my demons, they always find you anyway."
She's shadow walking the shadow roads
back to someone else's dream.
It still gets lonely there.
Transcending through the parallel of darkness.
Is it me, or is it her?...

A loss for words
I can hear you whisper against the darkness
to this place where depravity, and longing
Collide into oblivion
I burn with need
My mind on fire
dripping with desire
Wandering aimlessly in desperation
I reach for you
haunted by
words that linger from your lips in hesitation
The silence consumes me
I fall through dreamscapes
Moments stacked top the edge of time
As it passes by..
Hours shift to days
I lost myself there
Somewhere in my
Fantasies
Clinging to the veil of lies
I hide...
to this place where depravity, and longing
Collide into oblivion
I burn with need
My mind on fire
dripping with desire
Wandering aimlessly in desperation
I reach for you
haunted by
words that linger from your lips in hesitation
The silence consumes me
I fall through dreamscapes
Moments stacked top the edge of time
As it passes by..
Hours shift to days
I lost myself there
Somewhere in my
Fantasies
Clinging to the veil of lies
I hide...
