Monsoon skies

monsoon crept up on us

while you were in tender sleep

arid skinned night dreamer

lost under feathered sheets

carried away into bonesless existence

with no time 

threathening to fleet.

The stars hid behind dark curtains

Fluffed and floating in unison

In the Universe’s sea…

Singing to you and I

Singing the galaxy to sleep.

Mother Earth surrounds us,

The soul gently weeps

Her voice wails through the rainfall

Until every drop is dead beat.

Monsoon crept up on us

The bums lay on the streets

They kiss the gravel

Thank the showers

Yet tomorrow,  curse these streets.

Monsoon crept up on us

The children stay locked inside

Craving to fit through the flap door

Restlessly passing their time.

Monsoon crept up on me

And I had no cigarettes and wine

Only tears and your memory

An empty bed, 

Oozing mockery in its warmth

To aimlessly recline

Monsoon dodged my sanity

And sunk into my core

Tapping things out of places

Stirring me from heart to toe

Monsoon came and so he will leave

Each season tuned to their time

But here on earth

the lonely forever weep

Here on Earth,

The blues of the heart never dies

With the passing melancholy of the skies.

Children of the noose

Your eyes glow against the darkness

Precious child.

Cataract mind,

You sing hymns of the damned

And build your grave in silence.

You put one foot in front of the other

And go nowhere.

Precious child,

It wouldn’t matter

If everyone tried

You build your grave in silence

You glow across the skies.

Your emotions are paralysis

Your touch is cold as ice

Your body breathes demise.

Precious child,

Love will never save your soul

You built your grave in silence

And left with a story untold.

Child of the damned,

Child of the noose,

You build your grave in silence

And smile to keep us fooled.

Beautiful Woman

Yes, you are beauty

The fiercest fascination about

You hold their frozen eyes

And control their gaze throughout

The tongues reach out to taste you

Your skin glimmers in their sight

You dance and drink

You live and feel

You take the holy ride

Their fingers ache to choke you

And smother you in the night

To toss and turn and unravel you

In craving lustful delight

You burn the ground beneath you

Your fiery footsteps entice

But you have lived less than the image

The mirror shows you tonight.

Things I would sing about if I were in a band

Theres no saying I will live

Its not certain if I’ll try

And I’ve got nothing left to give

It’s pretty certain I am dying

The lands are dark

The mothers weep

The crowds are large and lack sympathy

The dawn is aching

the lovers choke

We’re simply sailing on a passive boat

Drink to madness as  revolvers cry

Paralyzed dreamers wake to dirty lies

Chemical redemption is on the loose

Take off your sheep coats and run with the wolves

Wants

What do I want in life? You ask.

The small things, of course…

Rain clouds and drizzle

On a Sunday afternoon,

My window pane covered in dew

Hot showers and a candle lit bedroom

Four friends and I sharing the last cigarette

A joy division hoodie, a glass of whisky.

Bike rides across the hills,

With my love, talking…

And I move closer and lean on his shoulder,

So I can hear him better.

James Dean movies at 2 am,

Fluffed up pillows to cushion my head,

A text message or two from people I truly know,

Dancing wind chimes,

The floor stained with rainbow hues,

Cup noodles and Tumblr to soothe the blues,

Quiet evening walks to nowhere,

Moonlit lakes and the roaring ocean,

Purple and orange sunsets…

Dreams of him, when distance is all I have left

Children waving from a school bus,

The sound of a mad artist’s laughter

The words of a troubled poet

Before I drift into aching slumber

Herbal tea and fresh kiwi

Books by Kafka, Kerouac and Camus,

Quotes by Rumi and Nietzsche,

Stories of Gods and Goddesses

Who are Rock and Roll.

Black kohl to paint my eyes,

A treasure box of memories in my mind

Laughing aloud with his hand in mine,

A couch for us to sit on,

His chest to fall asleep on

Nestled by the fire place in his house

I want a lot of things in life.

But the small things; of course…

Menthol, Base Line

Addiction won me over

I ran through the streets

As the warning drizzle fell

The toxic cure beckoned me on

I ran away from the prison

That I made myself in my bed

Tied down in blue sheets

Restless control pounding my head

I thought of my well being

I thought I could fight it off

Until I could taste him on my lips

Bitter nicotine lord

The super market lit up

And my heart beat gradually dropped

I was 16 dollars away

From salvation in burning menthol

Puffing my way back home

In the drizzle still falling down

Telling myself I’ll never change

Addiction,

I will never last without.

Image

I do not love less

I do not love less

I love or not at all

For love is an endless fall

An abyss

Hearts beat faster

As the rogue claims his plunder

And it is not normal

To love the fall

It is struggle and anguish

Goodbyes and tarnish

Love only grows

As the fall grows steeper

And man in the end

Is a wreck from the fall

Death tenderly crawls  

Lord of the fall

This is why I love

Or not at all.

Singing in the void

Frozen specks of glimmering light adorn my eyes,

I rest and breathe.

I swim along the northern lights.

Panic melts in the bliss of chemical seduction,

In the muddled thoughts of dusk’s fiery lunacy.

Songs of lost horizons drift yonder into blackness and aging.

The magnificent heretics of euphoria rise,

But in the murky evident decay of rotting flesh

And infested organs, solemnly die.

Raw bloody wounds explode on tormented skin,

That defecates and boils in putrid smells of death and pain,

Disease and blood, blood, blood.

I am as you are this tale, this ride,

This holy apocalypse of love and blood.

 

I am as you are this contradicting state

Of the moon’s prophecies in the scarlet sky,

Of the cursed wolf’s soul,

A solitary friend seeking slow demise.

I am unheard, as you are,

Your hidden voices and desires are the same as mine.

But softly I cry and gradually decline

As ailments fill my craving veins.

This debauchery keeps me alive,

Through weak shivers and agonizing joys,

Through dead heart beats,

That drum their songs of madness into the sanctity of the night.

In the afterglow all our souls howl wildly

To the never ending chaotic universe’s echo.

Dirty liars and dirty victims stain the streets

Selling bibles and blessed meat

Oh how you have divided and accumulated

All this filth and all this hatred.

 

I am, as you are, a passing shadow,

Tied to the earth, bound in tomorrow’s sorrows,

I am, forever you, and will be,

A lost accomplice of insomnia and truth,

Riding waves of dimensions and memories,

Crests of comets, through silhouettes of men.

I am, as you are,

And forever we will be,

Hiding glass jars of firefly memories.

 

To sleep in comfort is now a forlorn daydream,

For I am, as you are, haunted and tainted.

To gloat in pride is now childlike

But I am, as you are, only an infant,

A new born soul wandering through deserted cities,

Crowded hills, frozen homes, mountains of love,

Valleys of gloom, oceans of lust,

Psychedelic caves of epiphanies,

Cages of dementia and the never ending cosmos,

To find and to not find something or nothing at all,

But to only live.

 

And I am, as you are,

Even if you don’t see,

Human and bleeding,

Faceless and freezing.

So I ask that you will try to perceive

The words I have revealed,

as I bear them in my eyes.

You are and I am,

that is all,

and always will be.

I am

I am the wind

Howling

Through these broken streets

I am the night

Shading the torment of day light

I am the fallen leaves of autumn

Piled up unwanted

I am the river

Roaring unheard

I am the silence

That shatters pretention

I am the quake

A thousand distorted emotions

I am gray clouds

Dying in the skies

I am a wreck

Of a human being

I am time

Trapped in aging skin

I am the birth

Of bastard children staining the earth

I am the lonely hill

Watching the seasons pass me by

I am disease

I am fear

I am death

I am life
