Sweet Dauphine
Haute bouquet of flesh
narcotic headiness
of Neandertal
with a hint of seduction
tasting of death's carrion
sweet Dauphine
whispering, undressed

Life forever erased
I can't see my lucid dreams
Blindfolded
Thoughts abandoned in empty frames
Climbing stairs to chaos
I fall before I awake
Visually dying
Life forever erased

Unfed
Over a cold bosom grave
oysters buried unfed
twilight's dead
pale cheeks bled
what beauty we shed
as screaming fades

twilight's dead
pale cheeks bled
what beauty we shed

Gloom
A single dragonfly
could spark joyful words
in this glacial gloom,
instead,
flies darken the sun,
the glowing hive
I once called home.

Despair
I have a friend that never goes away
No matter what I say
He lingers there
From the shadows to the fray
He never goes away
No matter what I say
He lingers there
From the shadows to the fray
He never goes away

Hindsight (1-liner)
In hindsight, it all makes sense. The gun in his drawer was not for defense.

Winds blow
Wings aglow,
In the night they glance, so free,
Winds ablow,
Stars above that softly glow,
Butterflies in twilight's trance,
Bats in flight, in starry chance,
Wings aglow.

Time to discuss death with your child
Mommy, come look!!
Daddy pointed a gun at his face and fired it!
He won't get up
Mommy, he's funny looking, come look!

Nearing the end
Will I see the light?
If so, I hope it ain't bright
Curtains will soon close
If so, I hope it ain't bright
Curtains will soon close

The Devil
Devilishly,
Destructive darkness
Devoured dynamic dimensions

Foreverness
Within my flesh
My spirit torn
Lost in a day
Not for the strong
Broken
Dreams I can't follow
If I die forever
Everlasting sorrow
My spirit torn
Lost in a day
Not for the strong
Broken
Dreams I can't follow
If I die forever
Everlasting sorrow
