Back In Black (NO STRAIGHT PHOTOS!)

The tapping, wet rhythm
Of Nature’s first music
Each crystal drop is a dancer
Performing soft shoe on the
awnings

they crave the free spirit
they remember from the past;
perhaps they crave a woman
who was never real,
one they dress up in designer memories

Yes, this is what the vampiric soul exists for.
Laughing and dancing, the sacrifice complete,
Ah – almost too easy – the predator moves on.

With outstretched arms I dance the Devil’s waltz,
And wear, vainglorious – instead of telling – all my beads.

they come with side effects
lots of them
dizziness, nausea, weight gain, excessive thirst
and social stigma
so it has to be me
but then i come with side effects too
the same ones

so come and laugh, my friend,
it’s only fitting that
a fool should entertain you.
watch me blossom
in the water of salvation

You touch me
still
with zombie fingers

Building is the dream,
saving is the safeguard,
living is the journey,
but Time is always stronger
and eventually it all falls down.

Oh no, you can’t come out.
Go back inside and wait.
You’ll make me say or do
something, I am going to hate.
Please don’t come out
when people are here.

misstep and you’re lost
misstep and you’re laughed at
misstep and you may as well bury alive
all your hopes of redemption
your dreams of desire

One who played with his children as one of them, taught them to swim and play music. He was also the same one who paid your hospital bill..tho he had you put there in the first place.

And when he grins that come-here look you’ll go.
He’ll wrap you in his wings
and take you off to some dark fortress, and then there’s hell to pay.

your eyes shone like the stars,
your smile a boy’s, made new
by Spring’s green birth,
and promised with it what
your words could never say.

I close my eyes
In the hope
I go to sleep
And let nothingness
Take over.

A new year,
A new dawn.
Same routine,
Same old shit.

I’m a liar like you
but I know it
I lie in public
when I smile back
at you
I lie at work
when I agree to make you
rich at my expense
I lie by pretending to listen
to reason
for which I am constitutionall…

Tendrils ’round your brain
feeding you insanity.

Heart Beat, Heart Beat, Heart Beat
Breathe Breathe Breathe Breathe Breathe Breathe Breathe
Thoughts Thoughts Thoughts
STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP.
Breaaaathe Breaaaaathe Breaaaaaathe.
