Loving you is painful

Loving you is painful
Like life's uncertainties
Loving you is painful
It's always wait and see

Will you make me sing
Or will you bring me tears
Claim you never knew me
Insighting all my fears

Push back folds of knowing
Tear down heartbreaks crust
I crave a touch of interest
And another trist of lust

But ever do I wonder
If mine you should compare
To all the ones that came befor...

My Incubus

Putting words down feels better
Better then these tired eyes that can't close and fall into sleep
Time ticking by in card games and reels
Time spent trying to find a way out
Time used making plans for the child and I
Time fritters away in worries
Until time finally stops

When I feel okay enough to let this angry flow out of me


Words on paper helps
Let them flow and with them my hate

The truest self

I feel the most alive when I'm fucking
Skin pricked by lights and psycho
Dark halo of fantasies
Encasing your sugar-sick dreams
I'm not like other girls...

High thigh game on point
And car rides full on lustful hope
Playing handy half-pipes and rusty skies
On the radio
I'm not like other girls...

Thick night and throwbacks
Eyes charmed in meaning
Can I steal a little dream from you...

Gemini flight

The hung moon smiles
Squeezing through the crack in my curtains
This tight space
Her reach invades
I endeavor to stave her off
Needing peace
Needing quiet
From the noise of beyond

My Mistress sleep sweetly calls me
Offering her pillow-soft caresses
The forked tongue
Promises release
Resembling dead men and their Sirens
Or the apple offered to Adam
Inevitably trudging to an efferves...

The Lovers

Love
Breathe in
Unconscious coupling
Exploding like blaring sirens and harpies full of lusts
Unbound, we feed the air
With spent sorrow and passion alike
Jilted souls find flight
Crowned in nights blankets and hungry nylon skies
To final stillness and glory

Control

Control
Divide me
Poet from the try
Fresh flesh and exposed
Attack
Lost laments like alphas
Wandering unnatured
Mild and reaching
Proud streaks in evergreen
And sun in muted lyrics
Contaminant seeping through

Sink

A weight around my neck
Pulling me under
The depth of my desperation screams out frustrated
See me, be near me, want me
Time after time after time after time after time, Cindy on repeat
That familiar revolving door of sadness
The worth of one not equivalent to the needs of the other
And I furiously squirrel away intimacies
Just to make myself feel better, to be seen
How dare you
How dar...
