Migrated home
I first saw you
At the beach bonfire
Through flashes of light
Against your electric silhouette
We were opposing magnetic forces
Drawn to each other
For those long summer nights
We were inseparable
In heaven
As angels we trod the sandy Earth
Consumed with each other
But as the leaves began to fall
Ushering in the cold
We became cold
And migrated back home
At the beach bonfire
Through flashes of light
Against your electric silhouette
We were opposing magnetic forces
Drawn to each other
For those long summer nights
We were inseparable
In heaven
As angels we trod the sandy Earth
Consumed with each other
But as the leaves began to fall
Ushering in the cold
We became cold
And migrated back home

wasted
each night,
each of those
lonely
calling out nights,
a glimpse
of
invisible mirrors,
drinking
the darkness,
spitting out
the pits
of the stars,
the moon
tasteless,
all
going down
like fools
wasting endless
decay time
of dreamers.

Dear darling
Dear Darling
Said she
To some place
Let's flee
A trip to heaven
Do you reckon
Said he
It's been real long
That's no longer my song
Free from fatal attraction
Dear darling
You are nothing
But
A dull distraction
Said she
To some place
Let's flee
A trip to heaven
Do you reckon
Said he
It's been real long
That's no longer my song
Free from fatal attraction
Dear darling
You are nothing
But
A dull distraction

Object Permanence
Everything descends…
fallen angels & hail storms
broken bonds that cannot make amends
cubist surrealist symbolist dadaist nihilist post modern forms
The sacred into the truly dread
inside the mind
functional from sign to sign
from time to time – the magic show in the amphitheater inside the head
Tell me what is dead
& what has died
take me to the final resting places
to a face replaced by a stone face that outward faces
Into whatever you call the weather
that shifts & switches
in bipolarity...

Eternity
Think not of eternity as forever
unlimited amounts of tomorrow
Inhabit the seconds of present
the best ones can last millennia
Breaths before first kisses
ultimate highs of intimate pleasure
The moments after child’s birth
a soul ascendant after death
We strive in vain for immortality
unknown expanses of future
Better to consider the eternity
of time we inhabit right now.

Last Act Scene
Hell your a trip
An overpriced cardigan
A white crow among the murder
Splitting at both ends
No raft in the dark
Rolling clouds of memories
A hurting down deep in your heart
The absence of anything
Goodbye stars
So long sun and moon
This twilight is all that remains
All blown out
And there’s no return
But time never does looks back
Don’t know why it does
But heartbreak is just life altering
This hanging round vampire
Eclipsed in the fog
How sweet is your words ...
An overpriced cardigan
A white crow among the murder
Splitting at both ends
No raft in the dark
Rolling clouds of memories
A hurting down deep in your heart
The absence of anything
Goodbye stars
So long sun and moon
This twilight is all that remains
All blown out
And there’s no return
But time never does looks back
Don’t know why it does
But heartbreak is just life altering
This hanging round vampire
Eclipsed in the fog
How sweet is your words ...

Oceans Away
Wanna give you everythin' I have to give,
Cos you're showin' me the way I wanna live.
Now give me everything that you got,
Keep on loving and please don't stop!
Give all of that sweet love to me,
Don't keep me waiting, as you will see,
I won't be happy until we start,
I hate this feeling of being apart.
I'm happy to lie with you in the rain,
Please don't think I'm going insane,
Where every day just feels the same -
Wishing this distance wasn't such a pain!
Could anything be further from the truth?
Whatever...
Cos you're showin' me the way I wanna live.
Now give me everything that you got,
Keep on loving and please don't stop!
Give all of that sweet love to me,
Don't keep me waiting, as you will see,
I won't be happy until we start,
I hate this feeling of being apart.
I'm happy to lie with you in the rain,
Please don't think I'm going insane,
Where every day just feels the same -
Wishing this distance wasn't such a pain!
Could anything be further from the truth?
Whatever...

PTSD of you
Trying to escape from the memories inside my head
Trying to get away from your ghost that stays inside
I can't take much more of these flashbacks it's going to pull me back
To the state of anxiety and depression that will stay
Trying to escape is like finding the end to the labyrinth
I tell myself that I'll find the end to this labyrinth inside my head
Before the ghost of you travels back in to my heart and
We both know that is the last thing I want you to do.
Why can't you just leave my thoughts and my memories alone
I can just hear you now...
Trying to get away from your ghost that stays inside
I can't take much more of these flashbacks it's going to pull me back
To the state of anxiety and depression that will stay
Trying to escape is like finding the end to the labyrinth
I tell myself that I'll find the end to this labyrinth inside my head
Before the ghost of you travels back in to my heart and
We both know that is the last thing I want you to do.
Why can't you just leave my thoughts and my memories alone
I can just hear you now...

Never Enough
Here, you lie in silence of memory
Your tears have always meant nothing to me
No rain falls outside of the window
For the love I gave to you
Now, it's time to slumber in peace
My darling demon
Here's to you a lullaby
(Vale, vale*)
It was never enough when I cried
(Vale, vale)
You are the voice of maggots in the dust
Here's to you a lullaby
(Vale, vale)
So many seeds were sown within the dirt
Once blessed by a vernal advent we were
Wonder where the light is sleeping
With the love I've...
Your tears have always meant nothing to me
No rain falls outside of the window

Now, it's time to slumber in peace
My darling demon

You are the voice of maggots in the dust

So many seeds were sown within the dirt
Once blessed by a vernal advent we were
Wonder where the light is sleeping

horror of the night
The horror of the night
I had rented a room in the town of Puerto Lemon
in wonderful Costa Rica.
I was going to have an affair with stewardesses
but since the crew came from one of the shitty
gossiping little coastal towns in Norway,
we had to be discreet.
From the darkness of the night and into the light
in the room, flew a wonderful insect.
It was made of gold and the size of a cockroach,
the unsightly insect that once had been human
but had committed a grave sin and in his anger
God had turned them shuddering ugly...

Proved a liar
Of any creature • I've encountered
One is of the worst • of cowards
For the sheer effort • that's required
Covering • transgression with words
It sickens me,• how lies conceive
Painful still • what it proves to me
That you deserve • to be believed
And I deserve • to be deceived
This offence • I offer hatred
Of this • I can't rise higher
My truth of lies • that • you painted
Proves • not a man, • proves a liar.
