Instability

there’s a fire slowly dying
next to a heart that pumps its last pint
deep in the depths of darkness
a child cries
seeking meaning and understanding  
from a cold dull knife
 
when all the world is lost
trapped up in its own instability
I find myself held up by angel wings
from ashes to ashes
to star dust to star dust

 
a succubus moves to hypnotize
drunken good ol boys trying to unwind
taste of flesh is what’s on the menu
glutton for sex
but nothing meaningful  
love is her kryptonite
like the youth that was robbed  
now the high is her only way of survival
 
when all the world is lost
trapped up in its own instability
I find myself held up by angel wings
from ashes to ashes
to star dust to star dust

 
hands of time can be unkind  
an elderly man lets go in pain
the woman he spent his whole life with
only helpless to be victimized by gods
until the day he dreams his last dream
body returns to earth  
soul returns to her
 
when all the world is lost
trapped up in its own instability
I find myself held up by angel wings
from ashes to ashes
to star dust to star dust

 
my world is riddled in past pain  
yet I find myself held in a moment of bliss
love beyond measure, a house I call salvation  
gifted from the heavens  
but the angels whisper in my ear
“be grateful for the paradise
take in all the scenery
for things could be much worse
and one day, they just might be”
