Cloud Catcher
03/28/2014

I’m a lost man; a stone cast in the deepest sea,
I’m a bad man; drinking the waves of eternity,
I hold treasure and gold but they sink as I grow older
so quick, and naïve, like a cloud caught on my shoulder
I look down again, so close, and small, with precision,
Through the transparent orchid of this dark and dead division,
I will search and find that which, to me, is hidden
I will foresee all that is, for me, forbidden
There are no possibilities; there are only probabilities
There are no stars; there are no stars in the sky tonight

These Scarlet Shores
03/24/2014

The world is an ocean of sifting sand
And I feel myself changing with the changing man
Vast and deep in the center of the soul
Kneeling near the temple, the despot of the whole


When you look at this house, what do you see
I see all things moving, all things that breathe 
And she turned and stared at me,
 with eyes like an ocean storm
And I knew that in her silence there was violence adorn


When I looked at her, she was already beneath
And her face got whiter and brighter with teeth
A face so unique could only be yours
Won’t you swim with me, tonight,
Beside these scarlet shores

 

Light
3/19/2014

I do not need light to see
I will always adore the shadows
Your green eyes will enrapture me
piercing my skin with the knife

 It’s not what you'd want
And it’s not on TV
It's figure is getting dark
and grows small in our eyes now



Circling around the cadaver
I watched you move violently
You shall always or never have her
You are slowly becoming me



And I am still slipping away
Always you slip away from me
Where once you were forever here
Where ever you are
I sense your ghost is near
-Your glowing eyes, upon my bed
Your soul within me,
and I fear, you are dead
You are dead my dear

The Shadow’s Nest
03/14/2014



The world has forgotten us, baby
Will you fall with me deeper beneath
and sleep in the darkest of sleep

For death is not waiting
For those anticipating rest
Nor those who are blending
Into the shadow’s nest
and into the shadow’s nest
 

Bitter, Cold
2014

It is dark and cold out tonight
I cannot get warm
I’ve got my smoke and my fire to light
These tokens of a heart forlorn
I wait in the abyss for the white hour
To rise from the shadow’s doom
To take me with her, where I will follow
and find all is not pain and gloom
