There's one thing that binds us togetherTragedy paints our souls the same colorI dreamed of one last dance with youTo sing our song to each otherTime is of the essence but easily forgottenAnd when you get older, it doesn't heal all woundsHold me up darling, get the needle and threadStitch my pieces back up, together … Continue reading Black Light

Icarus
You were standing right in front of meA vision of disturbing familiarityI alone was anointed with this prophecyTo be enlightened, recalling ex livesPast existences are small hints of lightTwinges of deep longing, gone before graspingFormer living things, vacancy paints our facesDead lights dimming, collecting more empty pagesAll good drugs are used before they're rememberedLeaving behind … Continue reading Icarus
New Breath
Even at my worst, I tried making all the wrongs seem rightBut I became transparent when lifted towards the lightA fraud, a false sense of self worthI'm no more better than I dreamed ofThe taste, touch, feeling sweet muted wordsShut down behind gated lipsA beautiful passion that savors as much as it sickensI let the … Continue reading New Breath
Portrait
one life bleeds into another the different masks i wear find each other now all transparent i stand at the precipice of what created man no god, no devils, just us at the end of our rope a blinding perspective we're all alone everything i thought i was slipped through my fingers and fell like … Continue reading Portrait
Bone Collector

Below Zero
I felt you if but for a moment Although brief, it was real As tangible as the ghosts we once felt Lofty ideas with a touch of despair Not without its jet black stains I bit down on the bullet until it left me sane Fracture my jaw, I'd rather not speak About all the … Continue reading Below Zero
Retrograde
Anticipation leading towards the edge of a cliff Down to the deeper valleys of what we don't know Careening off the mouth of the beast Lost in all senses, stuck in disbelief Where was the sun when every cloud came down The sky is falling, the sky is burning And we're all just fading now … Continue reading Retrograde
Permanent
Silence amplified A light goes out across the state The last it'll ever see Breathing in cigarette smoke Still cleaner than the air No tears, no sorrow, nothing The emptiness of one's own truth Surrounded by lies Strung out city lights black out the sky No point in looking north No point at all One … Continue reading Permanent
Stranger
My memory will fade like sun-beaten window stickers Barely legible but somehow still in attendance Lurking, twisting, peeling Peeling back layers upon layers of skin Scar tissue from way back when I thought what I thought I could handle Panic attacks breaking glass in the back of my head And I wait, oh, how I … Continue reading Stranger
Salt and Smoke
Look into the eyes of god Windows to the bold You are a wildfire As good as gold Belonging to the flowers Sparked by your own modesty I have so few dreams And you, far too many A punch in the gut A kick in the teeth What do you do When you think of … Continue reading Salt and Smoke
