For Safety
Love, that old snake,
comes to thaw my heart
with its honey-sweet kisses.
I light a fire to keep it away
and my heart in the freezer.

How I Feel After They Demolished It
Those memories of
a happy childhood are dead
and buried with that old house.

Returning Home
Feel like a stranger
So many years have gone by
Where does this leave me?
So many years have gone by
Where does this leave me?

fire and ghosts
the fire
lit up
ghosts,
they glided
around
the black
sands
of death,
exiled
from home,
dancers
trespass
through
these dreams.

Pits of Ziost
I am that which grips the Heart with Fright,
Hearkens the Night,
and Silences the Light . . .
Hearkens the Night,
and Silences the Light . . .

scars
she is
too
far away
in distance,
to hear,
if
i could
give her
flowers
to speak,
a garden
of poems,
i will
be lonely
my mind,
my soul
will be
roped
with scars.

Never have I
I've never felt less heard
Understood or desired
Then I do, when with you
Understood or desired
Then I do, when with you

i cannot love myself
where is this
section
of night
that found
me sitting,
it began
to fall
over my head,
working
downward,
covering
my senses,
to misunderstand
the hour,
this is
the hours
of lovers,
for lovers
convenience,
i hide my face,
i hide
completely,
i can give
my love away,
but not
to myself.

Safe
Say I could go back in time
I would tell the girl that I was that the world can be safe
I would tell the girl that I was that the world can be safe

Rails
My life
Feels like a train
Sounding the horn in the dark
People know I'm there
But more than anything
I am ignored
It is safe to cross now
Feels like a train
Sounding the horn in the dark
People know I'm there
But more than anything
I am ignored
It is safe to cross now

bitter vines
i tasted
her flowers
as if
i were
a bee
i found
them growing
wildly
on bitter
vines
in
the closed
garden
of her soul
and
i drank
her poison
now,
i go off
and die
even lonelier
her flowers
as if
i were
a bee
i found
them growing
wildly
on bitter
vines
in
the closed
garden
of her soul
and
i drank
her poison
now,
i go off
and die
even lonelier

Tears of a new mother,
Soreness of a boxer
Hearing of an eagle,
Patience of a cat
Stomach of a needle,
Head of a brick
Feet of a runner,
Nerves of a shock collar
