Cooking
Tomato,
The blood of revenge;
I shall mourn until tomorrow.
Carrot,
Thy roots of evil;
I shall mourn until tomorrow.
Zucchini,
The hardened - softens;
I shall mourn until tomorrow.
Basil,
My will upon yours;
I shall mourn until tomorrow.
Potato,
That which rots will yield again;
I shall mourn until tomorrow.
Last joint,
Bring it to boil;
I shall mourn until tomorrow.
The blood of revenge;
I shall mourn until tomorrow.
Carrot,
Thy roots of evil;
I shall mourn until tomorrow.
Zucchini,
The hardened - softens;
I shall mourn until tomorrow.
Basil,
My will upon yours;
I shall mourn until tomorrow.
Potato,
That which rots will yield again;
I shall mourn until tomorrow.
Last joint,
Bring it to boil;
I shall mourn until tomorrow.

Yesterday
Where do you go,
do you hide away in
the latest darkness?
Before leaving us
sing out
from behind the stars.
Maybe you are a dream
that has not yet
begun.
From tomorrow's
ample breast,
you may arise.
do you hide away in
the latest darkness?
Before leaving us
sing out
from behind the stars.
Maybe you are a dream
that has not yet
begun.
From tomorrow's
ample breast,
you may arise.

Where once , a timeless gap
Looking into
universe
of fjords
Deep wind
cries
Wind cries
deep
Beyond peace
chasmed chaos
afloat
this sea
Metal mimicry
Zink sinks
in
Creating anew
evolution
of'numb(ers)
Gathered
in 77
lives
There is
a dried drop
of blood
upon a
stainless
flag
Today
remains
framed
it never
goes
away

My first love
You came to me
Like dew
I fell into
Topaz
pools
Feeling the magnetising
glow , a place I knew
Opened from within
My love lay down
your head and let me
shake feral winds
from your hair
Let me devour
each demon
darkening stranger
beside us
From shrines
dark soot blew
out a candle
I watched you fade
and even sea\s salt
could not brace
my tears
I would quote you...

Go (Instrumental by ROSE)
I'm
Ready to go
Straight to floor with it
No ending I go got twisted
I'm
Ready to go
Straight to floor with it
No ending I go got twisted
-
Burn the cross as saviors die
Hold the thought then cut the line
Cut it all up then peal right it back
Keep it G'd up we fuck I'm on that
Shattering mind ya may like right
Only one left but fade with the night
Blowback under pressure
Tempt to test me tell my brother let me
-
Creep I'm coming off the knife ...
Ready to go
Straight to floor with it
No ending I go got twisted
I'm
Ready to go
Straight to floor with it
No ending I go got twisted

Burn the cross as saviors die
Hold the thought then cut the line
Cut it all up then peal right it back
Keep it G'd up we fuck I'm on that
Shattering mind ya may like right
Only one left but fade with the night
Blowback under pressure
Tempt to test me tell my brother let me

Creep I'm coming off the knife ...

under the lamp post ..
the dog is caught in the light of a lamp
post chasing moths, not knowing that a moth
is attracted by light, or that a ghost only shows
up at night, he barks at them both ..

Fools against the wind
Single creator of air will never need to breathe it
So temple Aur emerald flame wills to conceive it
In rearranging symbolistic prototype paradigms
Via coalesced abstract in a journey near rhymes,
No such alchemical wedding without a reception
Interdimensional time never mirrors a reflection
Dark energies to shatter every line but travel yet
A darker matter pretends to shine without effect,
Frequency resonance making a song just for two
Practically at rest high vibrating spirit world view
Per soul string played across the...

Love all "this underground" wordsmith
Temple tower of sight and sound
Man, ya gotta love all that dark inside

Blowing fire while abstruse wandering adjacent yon stargate
Assign all seams this vortex ring that nevermore degenerate
Creating this new round, the kind that spins a perpetual day.

Harm.
Watch the blood form in to little lumps,
Feel your heart as more of it pumps,
It goes from one to three to four,
You can’t stop, just one more?
It starts to sting but the burning comes first,
Little do they know that’s what drives the thirst,
For the first time in forever you feel at ease,
Your mind falls silent, a moment of peace,
The blood drops and trickles down your skin,
A feeling of relief escapes from within,
The scars have sunk deep in to your thigh,
...

Your mind falls silent, a moment of peace,
The blood drops and trickles down your skin,
A feeling of relief escapes from within,
The scars have sunk deep in to your thigh,

Threshold Season
Feeling the calling of the dusk,
Full moon rising in my blood,
Silhouetted against the sky,
Twisted between the thorns of being
and unbeing...
Gateways between gateways,
Thresholds between thresholds....
Breath of my breath.
I smell you,
Something wild on the wind,
In the drifting shadows of the season.
Aching for the call,
The belling of the stag,
The first crisp nights,
Bare feet melting frost between my toes, ice crystals rimming the grape leaves,
Hinting at intoxication.
Grape skin, sweet and supple...
Full moon rising in my blood,
Silhouetted against the sky,
Twisted between the thorns of being
and unbeing...
Gateways between gateways,
Thresholds between thresholds....
Breath of my breath.
I smell you,
Something wild on the wind,
In the drifting shadows of the season.
Aching for the call,
The belling of the stag,
The first crisp nights,
Bare feet melting frost between my toes, ice crystals rimming the grape leaves,
Hinting at intoxication.
Grape skin, sweet and supple...

The Golden Grain
You, your shell
Is one of them;
Its words echo distantly
While your grain floats like a star overhead,
Appears separate, tied by a thread.
It’s what speaks, what looks
Around the world with wide open eyes,
A body that shines so bright
In a flowing colored myriad.
And your substantial form
Is a gray toned shadow
Whose eyes are dull,
Whose voice is a whisper
That echoes over the mountain ranges
Of lonely windswept chalk.
The worlds should switch;
The one unseen
Bursts with the colors of every dream....
Is one of them;
Its words echo distantly
While your grain floats like a star overhead,
Appears separate, tied by a thread.
It’s what speaks, what looks
Around the world with wide open eyes,
A body that shines so bright
In a flowing colored myriad.
And your substantial form
Is a gray toned shadow
Whose eyes are dull,
Whose voice is a whisper
That echoes over the mountain ranges
Of lonely windswept chalk.
The worlds should switch;
The one unseen
Bursts with the colors of every dream....

Nightmares.
There could not possibly be a place worse than this one
Hiding in the damp underside of bed, waiting for horizon
I thought she said she would take me with her
But when I approached, she stopped me with a finger
No words escaped, she just shook her head
Then started peer into mind with no words said
Showed me a world of fire where there was nothing
The truth was, I'd stay there infinitely suffering
Where no hope, love, or any light would be seen
Stuck in the inevitable suction of in between
'Come with me'
She said...
Hiding in the damp underside of bed, waiting for horizon

But when I approached, she stopped me with a finger

Showed me a world of fire where there was nothing
The truth was, I'd stay there infinitely suffering
Where no hope, love, or any light would be seen
Stuck in the inevitable suction of in between
