after all.....
I remember me begging
you were naked
beautiful
in the bathtub
our children possess so much of me
you will not be able to handle the repercussions
I will not be able to handle the days absent from them
shallow refusals
stubbornness
broken promises
you were the most real woman that i ever met
twenty-two years later
change was inevitable
adaptation so it seems
complete transformation was
never part of the agreement
I still couldnt hate you
Its been seven years ...

Inside out
exhausted
this is ten fold
whatever the want
my past haunts
like a ball bomb rolling behind my every turn just waiting for its chance to explode
trying to attain that historic honeymoon faze
atomic fascination
blast us open so we may tread
Inside out
decaying hands grip every organ
pulling
yanking
lessening
terminal
bludgeoning
such divinity
belongings lay at the tips of my feet
masked converse khaki creeps ...

Art of war
Is it a darkside
here is just me
not even trying
comfortable in what i understand best
I don't run off at my lips
well perhaps
the saliva and blood that drip from them during my steady realizations of disillusionment
so
i entertain with my most
extravagant
chameleon
attire
I enjoy watching army's of leaves wage war among each other in the swirling sharp wind
in the middle of the streets they charge one another
many a number laying defeated along curbside
heavy the honor leaving...

We speak in tongue
in fear of
what truth reveals
what truth
Oh Edgar you son of a bitch
your not the darkest motherfucker out there
such a jealous dead man
a mentor ecstatic at having someone just
like
YOU
I hope that mason jar does more than colostomy bag
Pretentious

Contaminated
I caress this garden
full of succulent fruits
Hours
Months
have ensued to produce such habitual perfection
So that you may feed on its
Ripened tranquility
.... ...laced above with As2o3
I run for miles on the same path
Studying its composite landscape
I can hint your scent around mile #2
Routine
Fascination
Studied smiles
telltale eyes expand mediocrity
.... moonlite shimmers across
this straight razor
Atop this ledge housing fowl
Entranced by the streetlight
It...

Pigsty
Sluts in the city become me
Hearing the voices
joining the chant
Lowlife creatures of
Eternity
We are the used
Forsaken
Mistreated
Underestimated
The lion has always slept next to the dragon
shall we
wake them
Sanctioning reality
Kings of disaster
Survival from rage
Mastering destruction with every confining twist
The rope dangling well within reach
Remaining stagnant...

WHEN...
walls keep chipping no matter how much paint is applied
minutes instantly bring you days
surroundings imobilize
escape is non existent
your next breath seems impossible
I want to be there
you reach for so much more
it's so out of reach
pounding fist is never enough
your gripping the ledge with finger tips
I want to be there
trials are full of flaw
scars can't be covered
hope is so redundant beginning has always been the tragic end
I want to be there
you lose faith ...

I want to be there
trials are full of flaw
scars can't be covered
hope is so redundant beginning has always been the tragic end

Crazy Streak
crazy white boy never walking with shame
down to brawl with any who deface our name
wear a sarcastic grin weild knuckless of brass
nights spent behind bars with our fellow outcasts
come from a school where hitting hard is
the rule
try to live in peace but i got a short fuse
never bought in to standard life drills
exploring the good times till we get our fill
All my life they called me a freak
Never cared at all I'm on a crazy streak
Social snobs condemn what I say
Crude behavior everyday
only...

Dig it
Generation nothing when it all boils down
Pitch black heart attack
fire foaming at the mouth
Switch blade serenade
butcher knife ballet
Artist crafts his artifacts
molding perfect purgation
Prove his mold the story told
habitat of purification
Asylum temptation
Ecliptic meditation
Ecstatic suffocation
The lunatics medication

Lily of the valley
Sparkle Crystal plague
Spread across this mirror
Insulfate power
rolled into
a decaying friend
Watch as the cumulus images blanket the sun
Plant next to poppy
tower bells ignite
Lily of my valley brings poison to adhere
Nurture every movement and consume this freedom
It is I...
The WHITE knight
Shaking like a leaf
The horse
The theif
Spread across this mirror
Insulfate power
rolled into
a decaying friend
Watch as the cumulus images blanket the sun
Plant next to poppy
tower bells ignite
Lily of my valley brings poison to adhere
Nurture every movement and consume this freedom
It is I...
The WHITE knight
Shaking like a leaf
The horse
