September,
Remember?
It was her
Or was it her?
I'm not sure.
September,
September,
I can't forget her
Could you forget her?
You're not sure.
September,
Remember,
It was right next to her.
Why did it have to be her?
They couldn't be sure.
September,
September,
What could you have want from her?
And why, oh why did you have to leave her?
No one knew for sure.
September,
Remember?
You had to take it away from her.
You knew you could not have her.
But you were sure.
September,
September,
I can't remember who it was for,
And I can't remember, remember, remember.

Burning
The clouds melted,
From above our heads
And fell, onto our world.
The leaves drenched in grey,
Hang limp from mossy limbs
And looms, over our heads.
But how long must we stay here?
Beneath their world
Beneath it all?
The melted grey doesn't reach
Our hot world, and our
skins keep burning, burning
Burning.

Farewell
Darkness falls, darkness crawls
Shadows creep and I must weep.
Scarlet life in my vein
How many more must die in vain?
Death, lined against the sky,
More must die, more must die.
Fire overhead, and in my hands another head.
One more pump is all you get
Don't waste it, don't you forget.
Cower in fear, I am here,
In my hands all life must fade.
Feel my tears on your skin, feel it burn, feel it hurt.
Feel the fire beneath my feet, fell the fire on your skin,
Feel the kiss of the fallen one, feel your heartbeat just once more.
In my hands your life I hold, your precious life that I fold.
Watch the stars, they all burned,
Shameful lust filled your heart, and for that you are condemned.
Walls of heaven all collapse, walls of hell all collapse.
Time escaped my finger, but your heart will always linger.
Shadows creep and I must weep
Darkness falls, darkness crawls.
Kiss me farewell just once more
Make my heart beat once more.
Shadows creep and I must weep.
Scarlet life in my vein
How many more must die in vain?
Death, lined against the sky,
More must die, more must die.
Fire overhead, and in my hands another head.
One more pump is all you get
Don't waste it, don't you forget.
Cower in fear, I am here,
In my hands all life must fade.
Feel my tears on your skin, feel it burn, feel it hurt.
Feel the fire beneath my feet, fell the fire on your skin,
Feel the kiss of the fallen one, feel your heartbeat just once more.
In my hands your life I hold, your precious life that I fold.
Watch the stars, they all burned,
Shameful lust filled your heart, and for that you are condemned.
Walls of heaven all collapse, walls of hell all collapse.
Time escaped my finger, but your heart will always linger.
Shadows creep and I must weep
Darkness falls, darkness crawls.
Kiss me farewell just once more
Make my heart beat once more.

Return
It fell through my fingers,
Like sand. I tried to hold
Onto you, onto it, onto
Anything at all.
But still it escaped me.
So I waited beneath the yellowing
Clouds and the fading sun.
I waited silently, patiently,
Thoughtlessly.
But it never returned to me.
The Earth, it seems, now stands
Quite still, perfectly still.
And I'm still standing, still
Waiting. Patiently.
And in time I too shall
Return.
Like sand. I tried to hold
Onto you, onto it, onto
Anything at all.
But still it escaped me.
So I waited beneath the yellowing
Clouds and the fading sun.
I waited silently, patiently,
Thoughtlessly.
But it never returned to me.
The Earth, it seems, now stands
Quite still, perfectly still.
And I'm still standing, still
Waiting. Patiently.
And in time I too shall
Return.
This thing
It crawls beneath my skin
It makes my skies purple
It sets my flowers on fire
It turns my dreams to bubbles.
It crawls beneath my skin
Turns my brain into a whirlwind
Sets my fingers to sand
Makes my knees collapse.
It crawls beneath my skin
I see it in your eyes too
And it looms over our heads
Dictates our every move.
This thing

This love.

Daylight
With limbs wrapped tight around each other,
My skin melted onto yours, and yours onto mine,
Our hearts racing as one, side by side,
Your lips kissing its way into my soul.
All the mountains crumbled into the sea,
The sun dropped into the desert,
And the rivers sank to earth's core,
Time stopped running, and I stopped chasing.
With you in my arms I close my eyes,
Run my fingers through your hair,
And smile for all the world to see,
Look at us basking in our imperfection,
Fighting all their doubts and fears.
As the moon sank lower into the ground,
The stars shone with all their might,
So that we might glow just a bit longer,
Held together by nothing, and kept apart by daylight.

Here
where the angels weep blood
where your warmth leave my body cold
where reality doesn't exist
where the sky melts in your hand
where the sun grows pale
where your kisses burn
where the rain falls like sand
where you swept me off my feet
where the stars turn to ashes
where you left me
where the moon burn my eyes
where you don't exist
is where I fall.

Incognito
incognito I stand in the corner where the undistinguishable crawls where
the stars look away and the heavens frown down upon the
unnamed sin and the shameful lust that lurks beneath me me standing here all
ready to die ready to give up to give in to collapse unto the unforgiving
ground that so readily swallows the dead the undead and the living into
never ending darkness that envelopes everything in sight in reach in mind to
torture the living soul into the infinite penitence and the
night turns into a knife that cuts that spills crimson life and the
red rose stain the dirt and slowly fade away like the smoke from
the fire I set in my sleep in my nightmare in my head where the gasoline and the
match in matrimony create a deadly creature that takes away everything everyone and
incognito I stand in the corner where the undistinguishable crawls where
the moonlight begins to fade and the sunlight betrays me into denial

Hope
Pluck my wings off my back and
let me fall into the dark, where
the rejected and maimed lie without
hope, only despair and sorrow.
Salvation lost, never granted, forgotten to
you and I, so we must endure all
the darkness and loneliness, alone, together
alone, forever, for all eternity.
Doubt fills my heart as it does
your, full of doubtful hope, full of
unfounded hope, full of longing
full of maybe, perhaps, and...hope.

Dead giveaway
He's blind. I know, because he is walking with one of those thin white sticks with a thick red stripe around the tip. It tells people he's blind. It tells the world he's blind. And people either look in the other direction and pretend he doesn't exist, or stare in awe at the surprisingly graceful way he maneuvers about all the people.
Maybe he doesn't want anyone to know he's blind. Maybe he doesn't want to be ignored, or stared at. But the stick is a dead giveaway.

Today
I was walking where werewolves walk when
Pink pandas pounced powerfully, proportionately
Blocking by backing backwards backed by bears.
Today together, tougher, turtles think thoughts
About abundant aardvarks adjacent as aardvarks are
Crouching cowardly, crowing creepily (at) cows.

Invincible
When the stars burn and fall from the skies
When the grounds fall apart under our feet
When the heavens collapse onto us
And there's nothing tying us to these lands
I'll be by your side.
When the colors fade to nothing
And the red Earth explode all around
And chaos descend upon our worlds
Obliterating life as it should be,
Don't fret, my dear, I'll hold your hand.
When it feels like the world will certainly end
When it feels like time becomes meaningless
When everything and everyone falls
When you're left in dark with deafening silence,
I'll be the hand pulling you to light.

iii. fading
the stare in the night stars start to fade
as the sun starts to rise from his hiding place
slowing pushing away the jealous moon
and slowly illuminating my world-
silhouettes against the night sky
start to take familiar shapes once again
and with the fading stars, I fade.

ii. hoping
The clock takes one step forward two steps back
The starlight that once shone bright now a dim speck
The heat of the sun couldn't bring him down
One woman brought destruction to two great nations
And another turn men to stone with a glance
Pandora's box should've never been opened
But hope endured through it all.
The clock takes one step forward two steps back
The pale sunlight create silhouettes along the horizon
Of a fallen angel with great desires
Of limp bodies littered over brave blood
Of frozen shock and reflection of death
And remains of destruction that brought sorrow.
How did hope endure through it all?

i. love
Standing in the darkness
Vast emptiness spread
Head into oblivion
Pained touches pained tears
Suppressed pains suppressed fears
Closed eyes unknowing eyes
Eternal fall eternal devastation
Salvation lost
Degrading stares unfaithful lies
Questions unanswered questions denied
Cold shoulders cold words
Lost love lost hate lost hearts
Broken love broken lives
Growing hate
Mended heart hope renewed
Warm touches forced warmth
Oblivious words fading heart.

Litany
The stuffed animals
The black and white pictures
Of you and me
The gray sweatshirt
That still smells like you
The brand new cinnamon candle
The Christmas cards
The red Valentine Cards
The pink anniversary cards
The purple birthday cards
The half-eaten ham sandwich
The empty beer bottles
Is all that's left of me
After I kicked you out
Of my house.

Color Fades
Red lust
Orange skies
Yellow lies
Green faces
Blue moon
Navy sun
Purple hearts.
The shameless lust fills
The hopeless skies
with deceitful lies
Told by faceless faces
Under the fading moon
And the cold sun
That broke hearts.
Two more kisses
One last glance
One last word
One last look
No more light
No more heat
broken hearts.
Colors fade.
Heart in thousand shards
in cold hands
Sight becomes useless
Expressions are forgotten
You spoke silent words
Saw right through me
Pulled me off my cloud.
Broken hearted
Cold
Dark
Lost
Deceived
Hopeless
Shamed.
Purple hearts
Navy sun
Blue moon
Green faces
Yellow lies
Orange skies
Red lust.
Life fades.

Prince Charming
Dashingly smashingly
Handsome Prince Charming
Brandished his sword
And took on the bet
But when the beast came
Antiheroically
He ran with his horse
Into the red sunset.
