Darker Alliance
Excuse the delay, I just dare not impose
For I can feel the decay from my mind to my bones..
Until this subsides, I'd rather keep to myself
For a stranger resides in this weakened hotel.
The decorations are plenty, sorrows hang on the walls.
But the lobby is empty, declining your calls.
The signs are apparent, but most cannot see.
So I might be transparent to nobody but me.
I'm good for vacations, because nobody stays.
I've provided temptation but they're not willing to pay.
So don't cry at my...

Anxiety
Up and down
Back and forth
Laying on the floor
I don’t wanna think anymore
I’m ready but I’m not
It’s a lot
and it won’t stop
I’m being cropped
Out
From this picture

It Takes A Rose To Light A Tomb
Rising to greet the morning
Darkness slumber washed away from the night
Eyes of sorrow, eyes strain to open to greet the coming day
Throw on the cloths that cover the vail of empty inside
Step out to the overcast day, a chill creeps inside these bones
A light grey covered the sky, a light rain fell
Clasping covered hands to warm,
A hat pulled to hide, to shade from the pain
A while has passed from a light now gone
A warmth from whence a rose bloomed
The pedals of a heart closed not to open again
A memory, distant of a...
Darkness slumber washed away from the night
Eyes of sorrow, eyes strain to open to greet the coming day
Throw on the cloths that cover the vail of empty inside
Step out to the overcast day, a chill creeps inside these bones
A light grey covered the sky, a light rain fell
Clasping covered hands to warm,
A hat pulled to hide, to shade from the pain
A while has passed from a light now gone

nothing to find
oh, what are you seeking
little man
of the big town
as you ramble
out here in the midday
the bright sun
what is your day dream
what do you run from
or imagine you'll find
sweet little heart
walls have enclosed you
breathe in the air
and the affection of nature
will soothe you
and heal you
but there is nothing of meaning
nothing to find
little man
of the big town
as you ramble
out here in the midday
the bright sun
what is your day dream
what do you run from
or imagine you'll find
sweet little heart
walls have enclosed you
breathe in the air
and the affection of nature
will soothe you
and heal you
but there is nothing of meaning
nothing to find

Once resolved
On my little green body
I donned my
Fedora and tie
And went deep underground
Down I went
Beneath rubble and blackroot
Until I
Could hear no longer
The crass noise of my mind
Darkness broke
To incandescent cavern
Where dreamers
And brooders dance to
Seductive Siren song
Nymphs, satyres
And lithe beautiful creatures
Make love, fuck
Scratching desires
On luminous tablets
Scribes and clowns
Youths raging red teenage angst
Fan flames high
So all...
On my little green body
I donned my
Fedora and tie
And went deep underground
Down I went
Beneath rubble and blackroot
Until I
Could hear no longer
The crass noise of my mind
Darkness broke
To incandescent cavern
Where dreamers
And brooders dance to
Seductive Siren song
Nymphs, satyres
And lithe beautiful creatures
Make love, fuck

Agenda
How can a mortal try to achieve
that tick box hidden is a secret brief
the normal that has no purchase
the distain that passes for romance
for you can never jump that high
the painted nail the mascaraed eye
just window dressing with no sale applied
a world of handbags gigantic size
designer label brownie points
"your worth it" pefume that anoints
sensibility scores no stars of credibility
fake tan the premier with no film
the red carpet men with second bill
that maze we wander and are lost
the candy floss that covers all...

Spiders
The floor creaks
When she steps down
From the sheets
In her night gown
Spiders crawl
In the morning
Watching leaves fall
When it is pouring
I get a call
To do the chores
Her heart stays alive
Though she pulled the chords
How long
will this go on
What is her prize
For not having what she wants

When she steps down
From the sheets
In her night gown
Spiders crawl

Watching leaves fall

Her heart stays alive

How long
will this go on
What is her prize

Destiny
Again last night you came to me
With tales of the end of your latest romance
Asking how you could possibly bear the pain
With your head on my shoulder
I dried your tears
While assuring you that tomorrow
Someone new would come along
When you were finally comforted
You kissed my cheek
And returned to your world
As I looked around my apartment
Now empty again
I thought of my walks in the park
Watching the couples
Of tables for one
And movies alone

Mom’s Pinball Machine
Long days started at the wake of school.
A mind was taken over by the location of the afternoon.
Another bus ride awaited but not home.
Saw these people everyday but still never knew them.
Quiet the boy stood at the machine for hours at a time.
At times there was a path to pace.
Independent young at times activities sparked interest.
Never grasped the concept of art but participated anyways.
Fear of swimming challenged him young.
Did it.
Soaked from the water of the pool he’d return to that pinball machine to wait.
Was there a...

Heart-O-Aether-Gram
When you see her and shes not there
When you feel her and shes far away
When you can touch her but dare not
When your heart says yes but your mind says not
When love reaches all the way to her
Nipping her heals with all fire for her
Soul is drawn and follows your heart
You watch all converge then halt the start
When you feel her and shes far away
When you can touch her but dare not
When your heart says yes but your mind says not
When love reaches all the way to her
Nipping her heals with all fire for her
Soul is drawn and follows your heart
You watch all converge then halt the start

Afraid
A touch to my skin
and I'm already burning.
She looks in my eyes
for a sign or a warning
I know that
she knows how I easily
choke up and break down
black out completely.
A whisper to my ear
and now I am smiling.
I hold to her tightly;
her embrace so calming.
She sees that
I see when she so carefully
brings her lips up to mine
and I part almost instantly.
A glance to my eyes
that I might be avoiding.
She sighs to herself
for what she knows I'm fearing.
I...
and I'm already burning.
She looks in my eyes
for a sign or a warning
I know that
she knows how I easily
choke up and break down
black out completely.
A whisper to my ear
and now I am smiling.
I hold to her tightly;
her embrace so calming.

Small Cafe
We went on different routes
meeting same in the night.
Drinking wine - an easy way out
drowning turmoil of separate plight.
The den was crowded so a table we shared,
Our hearts so lonely, risking no care.
It must 'ave been a miracle
that guided us this way.
You needed me, and I You
at the time in that dark cafe.
Out of the voided blue,
my love left me for another
my heart burning with pain.
You said you lost a brother
your heart felt much of the same.
