Entwined

You belong on fire
and your only system died
with the pain of your desire
in the flecks left in your eyes

oh see it there so sweetly
through the darkness of the night
light the flame inside the tunnel
in the shadows burning bright

is it pain or is it pleasure
can you hear the vital call
cut short all your endeavors
you're about to take the fall

to the depths of mal creation
past the writings on the wall
can you feel the deep sensation
of the loudly moaning call

oh speak softly now, dear lover.
move slow and close and free
let all that inspiration
move from you now into me

like friction on the planet
creating orbit, catching light
it might ride us of our sadness
and relieve us of our plight

hold tighter now
inside me
you are warm
and wet and new

your eyes can see beyond
what is me and what is you

deep correlating vessels
ships at harbor side by side
as the current sweeps beneath us
and the wind lets us take flight

won't you stay here with me
be my mountain
be my light
everything is better
when I'm entwined in your mind.

Spark

And you caught me on fire
With your slowly burning flame
Embers of desire 
Banked and dark 
But still untamed 

Please fall away forever 
Or come after
Burning hot 
I see though in your endevore 
Because never's all you got 

And pillows simmer sadness 
Smoke and dust to rise above 
Can you see it in the ashes 
What maybe once was love 

Or is there still a kindle 
A tiny light 
A hint of spark 
That might catch apon the embers 
And etch it's tiny mark 

Because the heat still hides within me
And I see it in your face 
There are sufficient pockets 
Where a spark might still escape 

So I tend it oh so gently 
And I wait so patiently 
For that flicker of desire
To once again alight on me

Whole picture

Twisted planet prospecting 
In Isometric domes 
The revelry of processing
A slightly shifting scope 

Can poison change the balance 
Of irony and hope
The differential sequence 
Of what we want 
And what we know

Seven times the morphine 
In seven acher homes 
No remedy for memories
No cure for thoughts bestowed 

And damn it in great confidence 
That you are here alone
In vibrating illusions 
Of sanity let go 

Divide it in the fractions
Reduce it in the whole 
Pixilate the segments 
That flex and bend and sow 

A picture unfamiliar 
From things that were forgot
Remember what you wanted 
What you needed was for not

shards

Tiny pieces,
fragments
shards.

cracks and crevices
inches
yards.

watch your feet
don't tread to far
you might get stuck
with a tiny scar

no skin too thick
no wound to deep
tiny lies
begin to seep

cover up
the bandage stained
hide the crime
with deeper shame

fabric,
cotton,
soiled scarves.

hide the wound
but not for long.

try and try
but can't move on.

tiny pieces,
fragments,
scars.

swept away
but never gone.

The whole picture

Mythical lines of reason
Sharp strokes and slopping curves
Ink caught in treason
Fanning lines that seem obscured

Watch the hand that strokes
All the depth in missing space 
See the lines up close
Brush strokes we must erase 

Maybe lines too bold
Maybe some misplaced 
But the picture we behold
Is of slippery molding grace  

Catch the tail end of the sketch
It's a mirror, it's a face 
Can you see the picture yet? 
Or is it fading away... 

Fast shades and fading time
No way to hit rewind
Fill in what's been unscathed 
Replace what's left behind

Make clean

Wake me up screaming 
Tell me how I did you wrong
I deserve you're mal opinion
I deserve you're twisted song 

Cut in deep and twist 
See the blood poor through the hole
There's a clattering of ribs
Smash the heart 
And rake the soul

All this silence 
Petrifying 
Just ice, just ice cold 
Antifreeze and Mercury 
Start the frost 
And let it role 

I can't hear you
You are sorry
Don't say what you don't mean
It's a bag over my head
Suffocating my dieing scream 

Is there something...
Some small comfort 
Any way to let it go
To start over 
To be lovers 
Made anew with bandages holes

Or are we lost
And gone forever 
In the seas of dirty lies 
No fresh water 
Nothing clean 
Too far gone to see the light 

Oh I'm sorry
I'll be shinny 
I'll be shinny once again 
Get the pledge 
Dust the garnish 
Wipe me off and let me in

It's you're choice if we end
