Spending the World's Last Night With You
I will do my best to make you smile
Ply you with wine and victuals to sustain
Your gasps and soft moans
Heighten your glow with many candles
Hopelessly vanilla but that's another good snack
Pale, sweet, and rich as I imagine you to be
Open to life as all life ends
I'm sure God will forgive considering His situation
At my age I'll do the best I can
However many times before it all ends
Which should be true however long we're given
Sometimes funny but never casual
Dedicating my all to you and you to me
The sacrament of our bodies...
Ply you with wine and victuals to sustain
Your gasps and soft moans
Heighten your glow with many candles
Hopelessly vanilla but that's another good snack
Pale, sweet, and rich as I imagine you to be
Open to life as all life ends
I'm sure God will forgive considering His situation
At my age I'll do the best I can
However many times before it all ends
Which should be true however long we're given
Sometimes funny but never casual
Dedicating my all to you and you to me
The sacrament of our bodies...

Betrothal of paper ceiling hearts (as decorations to appease)
I remember shadowed
catastrophic
warmth,
leisurely peeking,
cutting through
the
tree
line
overhead;
we blink to bed.
fatally wounded,
we hung you
upside down
to dry ,
shriveled in your
memories.

'Self-conceived' love in a twisted mind
Leave your shadow on the wall
your scent in my pillow
stains on my sheet
forgotten clothes on my floor.
Our photos on the ground.
your secrets for me to find,
like a pirate on waves looking for your treasure.
I want the key to your heart, win you over.
Please leave your shadow on my wall
Let me smell you, even when you disappear through the window.
your lips on a empty bottle,
a sweet reminder of your tenderness.
Let me get to know you, like you know my body.
Every inch, every bend.
It's still on my...
your scent in my pillow
stains on my sheet
forgotten clothes on my floor.

your secrets for me to find,
like a pirate on waves looking for your treasure.

Blocked - Internal Affairs
People Leave you because of the Core they understand their own sense of misunderstandings.
How can they present such vile increment?
What solutions have they but to cease you from growing on.
Their stance is the summation of the core.
Little do we let the stance untaint unknown.
For whatever Reasons do we Cease them into Growing.
But such was written of before ahead of time.
They will Dismiss you in the Conclusions of their Mind.
Because they have ceased believing into the One Same Core.
Because they wish not to realize thus you adore;
Them...

Assimilate
You're a plague, sweet filth
I'll take off my mask with joy
To welcome and to breathe
Your ethereal contagion in
Infect my existence, consume it
Insert the midnight blue
that bubbles and boils inside you
Inject your sanguine seed
into my plasmatic streams
Become one,
deranged and strange
with me
You are the everlasting sickness that I crave
Assimilate with me
I want to taste your soul
Make believe that it's my own
Let me hibernate within you
Hold on to me
You keep the neurotic delusions...
I'll take off my mask with joy
To welcome and to breathe
Your ethereal contagion in
Infect my existence, consume it
Insert the midnight blue
that bubbles and boils inside you
Inject your sanguine seed
into my plasmatic streams
Become one,
deranged and strange
with me
You are the everlasting sickness that I crave
Assimilate with me
I want to taste your soul
Make believe that it's my own
Let me hibernate within you
Hold on to me
You keep the neurotic delusions...

Who's Got The Sauce?
I love me some hot sauce
It's an unrequited affair
Like being staked to a cross
It crucifies my rear
Man it ain't fair
We use to be so in love
Now that I got gray hair
She doesn't show me any love
She turned into a thug
I ain't about that life
Instead of giving me hugs
She brings nothing but strife
Like an ex-wife
Going from sweet to bitter
In the afterlife
I won't go nowhere near her
In the here and now
I still keep her around
But when she goes down
You'll...

Did I love you
It's been years RAM.
I'm no longer afraid of the nights.
The way It conquers the days,
days of endless waiting.
Your face , a broken shade of grey, fading,
as the celluloid unfolds like silhouettes dissolving with the sun,
The mountains, the busy streets and the silent corridors of my hostel dorm somehow always leads me back to you.
We are strangers Ram.
I'm not that girlfriend who will sprint at the sight of you,
No, I won't be able to recognise your voice from miles...
I'm no longer afraid of the nights.

Brief Relapse
This was not
a moment
of weakness.
Knees did not
give way here,
I pursued.
Was looking
for something
known to me.
a moment
of weakness.
Knees did not
give way here,
I pursued.
Was looking
for something
known to me.

Would You Love Me
Would you Love me if
I gave my Love to you
would you really care
would
you always be there
I am aware that Love
comes and Love goes
away at times that's why
I want to be sure Love
will stay around before
I give my heart away
I gave my Love to you
would you really care
would
you always be there
I am aware that Love
comes and Love goes
away at times that's why
I want to be sure Love
will stay around before
I give my heart away

Nice Guy Chronicles VIII
It was the new year
Holiday season was over
And everyone had to go back home
I enjoyed my time away
It was great to explore a new area
However coming back I knew what I had to do
She had been on my mind all the time
It did also help that we always kept in touch
Now here's the crazy part
I started to have a hunch that she actually liked me in a romantic manner
Not out of the blue
But since we were young
I've always been a bit oblivious
to people liking me
which has lead me to some funny situations
Yet...

Web of Time
You keep telling yourself
You're gonna get hurt
Get caught in a web of time
Two people trying to free themselves.
One trying to recapture lost youth
The other trying to escape their reality
They are of different times
A common soul, trapped in the web of time
Time separated them long ago before they were apart
And will continue to do so
But time is not a straight line from beginning to end
it is a web of interconnected moments,
Though appearing seemingly random,
Moments are organized beyond our perception. ...
