[Untitled]

Blades of grass quiver
Like virgin lips from love's first touch
Lavender winds sway from
East to west
Enchanting every wayside wand'rer

(4/14)
(work in progress)

"Yet the sea is never full" Ecclesiastes 1:7

Flood insatiable endlessly flies
From peaks of mountains and tears from skies
A cup through generations passed down
Spills its wine on sacred crown

(4/13)

The itch

Heat, the boiled blood surfacing
Tender to touch, silly shade of pink
The sun sponges pallid ticket
And the sighing wind rolls her eyes
At the itch she cannot quench

(4/12)

The simplest song

She sits with the black tabletop
Gaze drifting lazily around
Chin in listless hand
The sun's the light bulb in her head

She sees his brown eyes wink away
All her memories of the pain
Clasping hands so near
The sun's the light bulb in her head

Pre-chorus:
And she says...
How how how can I tell him
He's un-un-unforgettable
Lovely, kind and new?
Young face, old eyes, everything

Chorus:
It'll take the simplest song
No complications
Chords like water
Words like sunshine
To tell him
"All I want is you!"

She gives him every song she knows
Her heart's full of joyful chirping
His smile always glows
And the sun's the light bulb in her head

(Pre-chrous)
(Chorus)

(4/11)

"Not in the sequence of the metronome"

Willing plastic feet melt into the asphalt
And we are undone

"I'll see you to your end"

Clinical, white glows taunt me
"Your tears are not our wage!"
I rot from within, and
My maggots cannot be helped
My body has been murdering me
For years now
So it is no longer a surprise
Like a raucous and debilitating
Windy roar
But a tender, whispering caress
"I'll see you to your end"

(4/1)

Pomegranate tongue

Inky tendrils raised skyward
In anguish and lack
The great parasite
Buried in murky blackness
She beckons youthful sun
"Descend!"
Into her silky, sumptuous embrace
His shining eyes made wide
From wonder and gravity of her
Melodious voice flows
Like cooling silver
Into his fair eardrums
She blinks hypnotic, icy eyes
And he begins to melt
Into molten waterfalls towards
Her place devoid of light
Her grapefruit lips curl into
A ravenous, intoxicating kiss and
She swallows him drop by
Dropping into the vacuous cavern
Of her belly, the Sun swirls towards
Hell, the most unreal reality
Whose arms are sweet like
Juice from dripping, pomegranate tongue
She looks to the eyes of every
Sun and vibrant, holy star
For they are her endless delicacy
