Rain makes the yearning ache, Infinitely harder
Show me your bruise and I’ll show you my scars
Time wasting, lay back along the lavish Sunday routine
He tells her a story to drown out my screams
Side issue, roundabout regret,
A mistake for both, annulled, solidified
I erupted when she bit her lip
We all have needs he cried
Hold back the crap and the fear fucking trauma
Try writing like a real man
Crab apple pies and weekend blues
Bitching up the sidewalks they’ll haunt you
Play the right track or feel it fight back, five times intensified...

To want is to wonder
The mind never stops

I think I can remember
When we were almost…
So dubious and hot

But how much better it had tasted
Then, even in my mind

Dismissing love in anger we denounced it all
While your tongue lingered longingly somewhere

And I’d like to hear your name
In between my screams

I’ll whisper it, then shout it
To test its authenticity

I love the alien
And I crave the unseen

You woke me like a shot
And dragged me from my dirty daydream
Dared to make it real

The beats beckon
Hanging off the stack
Clingers on
Sway
In broken unison

The life force resonates
In regulated rhymes
Wild starry eyes
Hungry for happy times

Acid hectic heat wave
Hold onto that lover
Lean
Into other lives
Teeter on the brink of existence
Poppy fields
And hay bail sunrise

Artistic hedonist with their head in the clouds
Fighting for the right to live
And learn
Just forget
Or waste all they have to give
Hands rise
Stupified by enlightened highs
Susceptible minds seek trips...
