true i'm too soft
and i bend too easily
i'm soft 
in the wrong places
(you dared not touch)
i bend 
the wrong way
(over backwards)
and the only thing
that remains hard
is understanding why
there's no thrill
trapped between
milky thighs
and grabbing my
ankles just doesn't
grab your attention

of conversations had first hellos a coy inauguration a blatant suggestion a response in the form of a whisper dirty needles spoke volumes of the man unbeknownst to me we were both children of a lesser god wild in our abandon restrained in our situations prone to ambiguities drawn to infernos of question and doubt flames burned our second skin as we beckoned to them from above sitting high, most precarious tossing daggers from our tongues overcome by the power of suggestion contemplating the knowledge of who we'd become together yet divided by lines cast from shadows silouhettes dancing the median crossing seductively the boundaries of love of hate of feeling nothing and everything in the same conversation yet we still reach to speak still seek answers we're afraid to tell questions we know better than to ponder conversations had

untitled cut your nose to spite your face and revel in the pain for all you feel is nothing when you've everything to gain sit upon your velvet throne tossing daggers;make me bleed all the while rosary in hand mouthing the aposotolic creed i'm the sinner, you're the saint forgive me i cannot see nor will i again return the chorus of your silent reverie

When in darkened spirits When in Darkened spirits I Turn my head up to the sky And, there, engraved upon the Heavens As if innumerable fire flies Sparkling as your gentle eyes An image of your face I am given All the beauty which surrounds My loneliness with Nature's sounds When I thought there's naught to believe in Tolls your ghost so long and loud As a bell's dark droning sound And reminds me of our love deceiving Deviled memories cloud my sight Upon the chilled autumn night When I alone so mad and sickened Screamed your name with no delight And jumped far away in away into the night Living as my life would end

Untitled As a spring rain wets my face I search in vain for your embrace As if no one can take your place For you all other names erase Though time has passed and we're no more I feel for you in the depths of my core And yet your love I can't implore We've both been down his road before In traveling we lost ourselves In the tale we tried to sell The truth to ourselves we didn't tell Until we heard the ringing bells And by then it was too late It was gone, we could not save

November Rains November rains pour down above and as I sleep I dream of love of secret moments a lover's touch those quiet whispers that meant so much and as the thunder claps around to my hopeless dreams I am bound and when the lightning graces the sky the rain will sing it's lullaby and quiet moaning softly won to calm my spirit when my dream is done

Ode to Sweet Nightmares Shoulders read my thoughts Bare and all knowing I die and die again Until morning pulverizes my sick awakening Grab my eyes and beat my rest I live to be crushed by you Fair-lipped ocular moon games Take my legs away Rake me off of your perfect back Again I live to be maimed by you Sew up my wounds good and tight and then Slash my death wide open again Joyous mystery in this misery I live to be ripped by you As you wish I lay upon Burning coal shrouded pathways To your eternal mind play The flaming charred skin spells SERVANT NATURE As I scream your favorite song I live to be dead by you I live to be dead by you Soothe me

Alley Whore Jump! Say the leaders of the newborn night Fire lurks in shadows of unknowing gestures Gang of the dead blue sun keeps a callin' Calling us Depart from your soft beading drizzle Into my gem strewn storms Precious jewels of sweet damp air Lets go Leave your petty walls tumbling down behind you Exit... Now visit a newer vision Ravenous nomads are rummaging through your dreams Taking only what they need to survive Seems so helpless Until You develop that craving for pain Nothing ends And your embryonic childhood fades Along with everything past Fading with the first night The first week You've finally made it To hell

Untitled Socket Rumble Shots a thousand times Pierce Chest burn ramshot Slow and deep Walking through the motions Touch the outer shell seal Approval finds quick Slow death Pounding of the sleek honey funk Scratching rakingmyhead Into air Shots a thousand times Socket Rumble

Friday Night, 3 A.M. Here is where the Strolling lock-door ghosts Eat me alive... Supple vision Who roars in seven ways On the green side Picture Living inside her Unkempt cave Legs wrapped around Our music Cosmic rant Ongoing dreams of jaded light... Weeping I gather the remains of your tattered post presence Locks and strands Strangle Me To Sleep

Alone Again On a summers night When the wind blows Free the birds are singing Softly from high in their Tree and the wind Kissed the sky as we Passed by Embraced by the beauty All around I look into your Eyes and see an emptiness That I had never found Before, standing here with The wind in my hair Realizing I am alone again It happened so fast what Was I too say, thinking It would last until the Mornings early rays Slowly I walk on the summers eve, the birds Have stopped singing and The trees are shedding their Leaves

Untitled I asked you what you saw in me "Pretty features and a personality unmatched, You`re a genuine treasure." And as I took the last drag of my lucky, I looked into the depths of your eyes. I then proceeded to confess to you. "Jon, I`m a player hater, it`s true." You laughed and called me Miss Playette. "I do not play with hearts. I only want you." I smiled and walked away smirking to myself. Yesterday I embraced you. "Jon, why do you look so gloom?" "You have a man," you whispered. Laughing softly I said, "But I can still talk to you." Today you never said a word, But I saw her laughing with you. She asked you what you saw in her. "Pretty features and a personality unmatched, You`re a genuine treasure."

Petit Mort I looked her over, She whispered, I touched her softly, She mused, I drank her deeply, She cried out, I came, She died.

Fallen Souls . . . I have fallen from grace and my ashes are scattered No longer of passion and flesh My flame is alive Though my wings have been shattered They lay my body to rest My spirit is breathing My senses are pure Like reincarnation my soul will endure The spirit it never lets go Like mountains of sorrow I'm witnessing all of there pain Get me some virtue for only the living The spirit will always remain My soul is redeemed as the journey begins Another dimension a river of light I'm twisting, I'm turning My soul is in tight Beyond all comprehension Beyond all sight top

Resisting Temptation . . . Trapped in a lonely body and I'm losing my soul Can not control my emotions and I'm losing control Could it be that I'm obsessed with beating my disease Keeping things deep inside so that no one ever sees Fighting a raging battle, pretending to win Repenting to others, while I openly sin All I do is cover the wounds where blood just won't congeal You can never take my soul because it isn't there to steal Tempting the demon that dwellls deep within me Like with the apple that Adam took form Eve You tease and provoke things within me I will not allow this, it can never be So heed my warning the time is dawning I'll tell you heres the twist The truth is lying beneath the surface, I don't exist Seeing is not believing it don't mean a thing Though you may think I'm the loser, the loser is King I can understand that what you think you see is real But beneath the surface is my wounded soul That can simply never heal

untitled I'd like to run away from you But if I were to leave you I would die I'd like to break the chains you put around me And yet I'll never try No matter what you do you drive me crazy I'd rather be alone But then I'd know my life would be empty as soon as you were gone Impossible to live with you But impossible to live without you For whatever you may do I never want to be in love with anyone but you You make me sad, you make me strong You make me mad, you make me love for you You make me live, you make me die You make me laugh, you make me cry for you I love you, then I hate Then I hate you, then I love you Then I love you, I love you more You treat me wrong, you treat me right You let me be, you make me fight with you You make me high, you bring me down You set me free, you make me bow to you But for whatever you do I never want to be in love with anyone but you

untitled To love just once One true love One above all others Sacred and cherished To dream a dream To hope beyond all hope To look towards the heavens To trust in the fates That deliver unto you, the one The one who fits like a glove The one missing piece that fills the void The one that makes you complete To love just once To be given that one chance To be granted that one wish That one simple request

top

untitled Tell me what you want Or say nothing at all Show me what you need Or simply let it be I ask nothing of you Do what your heart desires I expect nothing from you Let your actions feed the fires We can be friends and nothing more Or we can have it all, the choice is yours The decisions we make are all a part of life Love is ment to be shared, though it often causes strife What are your terms What are your desires A loyal companion, a friend tried and true Or someone who will say that he'll always be there for YOU
