Literature Text

When I was dragged down
Into fire and pain,
My sanity's savior
Was my knowledge.

Knowing I'd saved him,
Even though I was damned,
Kept my ass on that rack
For a long thirty years.

But pain triumphed
And I stepped down.
I started meting out
Torture and torment.

Now, ten years later,
I've lost the sanity
I'd hoped to retain.
My sanity and humanity.

A bright white light
Growing in the distance.
I hear my name shouted.
Black eyes turn to see.

Another savior for me
One I'd never dreamed.
"I'll grip you tight and
Raise you from Perdition".

The heart I'd thought gone
Skipped a few surprised beats.
His voice shook me to the core
And I trembled at the power.

I fought him at first,
Believing I belonged.
But he smiled sadly
and held out a hand.

Trusting this angel,
I fled from the pit.
Words exchanged and
Emotions weathered.

I am changed forever
From this angel's touch.
I am terrified now, wanting,
Wondering if I can be human.

I got you

Here

I’m here. It’s the first thing I remember During each life’s awakening. For countless lives in the past and, Hopefully, countless into the future. I find you in plague-stricken lands, You find me dancing in the Roaring 20s. We find each other as waves crash down, Drowning us or merely caressing us. There are lives unremembered and Lives so full of memory they’re heavy. Our love beats through them all, An unending tempo of promise. I’m here. I’m here. I’m here.

My Romantic Song Lyrics

The night as the moon shines down below, if only you were there the leaves blow in the air a heart that loves like so a pathway be, let it be a pathway to your soul And let me sing you a lullaby sweet my dear in your dreams

Love

Swirling down in a pool of yearning, A straining heart never learning, War between desire and sense always burning, Distinction twixt the two never discerning. Nonsensical words spoken with adoring eyes, Spoken from a heart soaring though azure skies, Teddy bears, flowers, and fervent sighs, Upon their every glance our existence lives and dies. Skies darken, fervor fades, Words spoken of darker shades, Sense and reason compromise bades, Learning to live together weeding out our foolish charades. Trust and understanding grounded in tender affection, Years stretching before in one direction, Together, two hearts, without deception

Love lost.

Love is livid like a live wire. it archs it stings an it can cut through most things. but once love turns fowl it turns to sickness it invades it corrupts to heart an soul of anything it remains. Love is lost foreevermore deeming an seeming all things are fowled so much more. Anger is hot and vibrante like colded steel it ends life it takes life like a booted heel. Power and Arrogance. Pitty and remorce. Pain and desire. Are all so tired. Wrath is a poision it festers and grows. Decite was never a part of those. Those who ride upon golden steed tend to miss everyone who bleeds. until the wrath an anger begins to boil. then a Deep blade in the

on forcing passion.

imagine trees of tangerines, heavy sagging suns on all the branches. rip one down, introduce it to vivisection (though dead or alive, it never cries out), and squeeze until pulp like entrails forces itself between your dripping fingers. stare blankly at the mess and attempt to clean it, succeed only in staining your clothes golden. work the designs against your skin until the mistakes become tattoos and the rinds before you look less like refuse and more like fresh-hatched eggshells. as the morning scent stings your senses, reach up. don't look, just touch, and rip down another. and another. and another.

would it be terribly insensitive for me to say “good morning” in a cemetery? the sun lifts up slowly, and the dead sleep in late, as usual.

face yourself in the mirror red cheeked and smiling, have you ever wondered why blush is just blood congealing beneath the skin cells or rouge made of lead my antithesis, my partner in crime my faithful cut and dry, bone dry, fish bones stuck in throat you are my vocal chords twisted like ribosomes stuck in an internment of itself AN ANTITHESIS or are you just the "i'm sorry" trying to crawl out my mouth i'm just playing my part Antigone you say i'm just like your mother and you're right but fuck i'm your lover a replacement box lined with fuzzy peach navels and naval ships crashing on shores i'm tired of being your mom i'm tired of cleaning

You make me ill to my core. It's the way you curl yourself beneith my skin and suck the love and passion from my bloodstream like a sun starved flower. You sit benith the open sky in your flowerpot, adorned with my words. I bathe you in the things you need, but yet you still rob my bones. You betray my trust when I need you most. Then you dissapear, like some godforsaken ghost into an early morning fog and all you leave behind is dew-drops on the lashes that protect my eyes. When you kiss, you consume. You burn like a forest fire, searing and violent, across the tips of

"You left your watch here" This place has become a store house for bad memories Except when it comes to you because the only thing you've ever left here was me and now I'm stuck here waiting for you to take me home But you cant There's a whole lot of distance between us, gaps that not even the sun knows how to swallow up We are mismatched cookie cutter pieces stripped and sewn to the same heart Your patterned like A Clockwork Orange- all violence and vulgar slurs while I'm shaped a little like Happpythankyoumoreplease- all I want is your love. All you give me is your bullshit

Amongst the Stars

I could always handle you when you were cold water dripping down the curve of my spine and kissing the heat from my shoulder blades but when you wound around my legs and tried to drip off the tips of my fingers I had to stop you and press you back against my sternum Your kisses tasted like flower petals with edges more jagged than razorblades but I never minded when you left me raw and aching Instead I pulled your lips to my throat and let you kiss away the stardust and peel the paint from my skin- You always said I was like an old house and benith the cheep wallpaper that covered my frame were hidden secrets. I told you they wer

Sweet poison, Trickles down- I suck it out And convulse Electrifying I’m a seer Able to see Magical lands Balance Between dark and light The poison seeps out Perspiration Words course through My mind Thoughts Disturb me Remind me of something In the tangible world I’ve tried to forget My body cold now I rise I’d cry if I could But I laugh Hysterically My angel was right Life’s a joke

Lesbian

God loved the two girls at the end of my street. Everywhere they went, they went together, hand-in-hand so they didn't get lost, laughing at everything and nothing all at once. He was so proud of them. They never stole, they never swore, they brushed their teeth twice a day and always said their prayers. It was a gift, said the townspeople, that two girls as perfect as they were were born in the same place. an even greater gift, said they, that those two were the best of friends. Long nights spent giggling in rooms with closed doors was a good thing, back then. One day, halfway between their houses and in the middle of th

Blood Stained Glass

Pools of blood are on the floor Painting shards of broken glass. Yet we step upon them still As we talk about the past. Each time we put our foot down, The stained mosaic cracks. Can’t you see it doesn’t change Who broke it in the past? The glass opaqued with gore Will reflect iconoclasts As will the scarlet sheen. They will not reflect the past. The bones and glass inside your feet Squeal and click and crack. Your wince is louder than your voice So why talk about the past? Sweet merlot drips from our toes. Our soles are skinned and slashed. How much letting must we do To heal from the past? One day perhaps we’ll drown.
