Down bad enough to ice the red wine
I’m on the floor
half drunk at noon
Merlot
with ice
A sin in wine world,
but it’s hot.
I want a cold drink.
Wine works
best for heartache.
Something about the way I
want to die after too much,
and how that feeling lingers…
yeah, that resonates
in my
stale bones
today.
I want to roll around in
my own shit,
my back against the
kitchen island
as my cat nudges my hand
I have a half full
bottle and an
empty heart
again
...

chain rattling assbags of the past
The cloth ordered in our size
had beatings
and poverty
woven in the grain
and our makers cut us
arm-and-neck from that single
cloth before burning it
with our backs still in it.
I saw you in the shards of
the mirror I hated myself in.
And you.
There was no one like you,
like me,
like you.
We were as funny as
as smart as
as sexy as
as damaged as
as widly passionate as a moment
snapped from a workvan of the
rising sun on an alien ocean
we were...
had beatings
and poverty
woven in the grain
and our makers cut us
arm-and-neck from that single
cloth before burning it
with our backs still in it.
I saw you in the shards of
the mirror I hated myself in.
And you.
There was no one like you,

like you.
We were as funny as
as smart as
as sexy as
as damaged as
as widly passionate as a moment

I love your plastic halo (lyrics)
verse]
You know I'm a sucker for pain
you make it feel so heavenly
got me wrapped around your plastic halo
love drunk on
everything you say
even when I know you're lying
but I keep coming back for more
[Bridge]
Build me up
just to knock me down
break me just to take me
all my resolve is
a house of cards
and you're the dealer
you're the dealer
(of everything I need)
[Chorus]
I'm just a pretty little addict
another silly little addict
stick around so I can take ...
You know I'm a sucker for pain
you make it feel so heavenly
got me wrapped around your plastic halo
love drunk on
everything you say
even when I know you're lying

just to knock me down
break me just to take me
all my resolve is

and you're the dealer
you're the dealer
(of everything I need)
[Chorus]
I'm just a pretty little addict
another silly little addict

Scotch on the Rocks .
She does not know she is the drinks before the last drink the ones for the road. You had been drinking pints of beer the trusty old routine solid to familiar.
You know the taste smell texture the consistency needed to get out of your mind.Leave behind your mundane life at the door with every drop of nectar.
It is not enough the more your relationship has
matured you do not come so easily its lost its magic so you physically need another one.
You flick the switch to scotch on the rocks. It kicks you alive as it slides down your throat.
It is dark mysterious...

Mirror
we are standing
bare
skin on skin
the night thick around us
our shadows move
dancing
slowly
like they’ve done this before
you press against me
I wrap my arms around you
your breath stirs the air
warm
like something half-whispered
half-forgotten
you lift the camera
click
click
the flash stings
a split-second of daylight
before the dark folds back in
our lips meet ...

a different kind of faith
I don't need Gods in my chest
to make my heart beat
when you've been there
for years
like an electrical current
tapped directly into my veins
shocking me back into life
when all I wanted to do
was walk off the edge of the Earth
and leave nothing but
a blurry photography
and a playlist of sad songs
for everyone to remember me by
I don't need Gods in my chest
to make my heart beat
when you've been the
hope I needed
even when you stripped me
of everything
and left me chasing...
to make my heart beat
when you've been there
for years
like an electrical current
tapped directly into my veins
shocking me back into life
when all I wanted to do
was walk off the edge of the Earth
and leave nothing but
a blurry photography
and a playlist of sad songs
for everyone to remember me by
I don't need Gods in my chest

Shangri-la Besot
In the glen of her Seraphic honey
I found splendor in bilabial wings
far more rewarding than the freshet springs
one may chance upon when hot and sunny
and prone to the worst of an Earthy thirst
that only the best oasis will quench;
like the sweet aether from her yearning trench;
a sacred vim exuberance dispersed,
to claim a soul, as by a siren spell,
far beyond Circean in its power
to see ardency in all manner swell,
like midnight love into a moonflower
or the paradise where a love may dwell...
...

Vulnerability
Have you ever loved someone so much you want to submit everything to them?
You want to make sure every angle is covered, the hunger you have for there touch and presence more than anything. Knowing you shouldn't be so vulnerable but oh my the feeling of vulnerability is something else. You trust everything with this one person, everything and everyone else becomes a blur and a distant memory.

Porcelain Dreams
Empty days drift in a world made of smoke and disguise,
Made-up lies, a life of despise while she hides.
A castle of echoes, a throne built on fantasy,
Her lack of reality—this is her majesty.
A queen in her kingdom of neon-lit haze,
Words set relationships ablaze,
Pretending to raise while seeking pity then praise.
Where nothing is real, yet she basks in the sunlight, acts brave.
She dances with thoughts of grand junction, whispers her name—total dysfunction.
Plays puppets with fate in her self-written game.
Muppets...

Where nothing is real, yet she basks in the sunlight, acts brave.

Plays puppets with fate in her self-written game.

dance with me
will
you dance
with me,
your needs
next
to mine,
we can
lay naked
in the
security
of
our songs,
i match
your moves,
this passion
joining,
reaching
beyond
returning,
midnight
watches
while the
stars blush.

A Conundrum
Illusions
Visions dreamed and enveloped in fantasies
Parodies and tragedies played on stage
From page to page you keep on writing
Reading and feeding
Thriving on the idea
This will come alive
But
You’re disengaged
This is not reality
This is a game you shouldn’t play any more
You made her up
And sold your soul to her
You created her
And harm yourself so she’ll notice it
You hurt yourself to prove
You’re worthy of her…
And for what?
This delusion of yours
It’s odd
It’s...
