Spiral

I get this feeling when I look in your eyes
like a stranger leaving behind
just like a shadow on the back of your mind
feels like I've wasted time
once you know the steps then its easy to do
you were like a spiral, my heart fell too
once you get the edge, then my cut there's no cure
now I get this feeling, its deep in my blood
like a mix of ache, its jealousy, its lust
like I'm not living in a film that we took
and it means nothing
you know you got the best of me baby its true
that's what she said to me, right when she knew
its nothing to do with me, me and or you
its just the cost of time letting it run through
'cause your just a pawn
played in a game for two
that's just a dream baby there's things I gotta do
your just a heart that's too tired of pumping it through

You only made me smile

you only made me smile
and fade away
you only made me smile
and fade away
it is what it is
never settling
its a choice
to push it farther down the line
never looked so fine
she is only mine
diamond mind shining through the darkest reaches of time
slowly, slowly you'll find a vine to grip onto in these troubled waters
never falter
you only made me smile
and fade away
you only made me smile
and fade away
you only made me smile
and fade away
now I'm looking at you
I know your feeling blue
ain't nothing to do
I'm leaving you

Cherry tree

a flash in the sky
graveyard walk
quartz stone in my shoe
put the dead to work
cherry tree cherry tree
wont you tender me
true and straight true and straight
at the gate and never late
bone dust orange red rust
gun locker magnet found seventeen feet below ground
crisp air never care troubles no more
exit through the same door
cherry tree cherry tree
wont you tender me
true and straight true and straight
at the gate and never late
listen to what you want this is what you get
walking around town storm rolling in
raindrops on the ground
ripples in puddles
echoes of scent
fresh water on cement

Torn down storm
03:15
|

this nightmare is a funnel of celestial gestures dispersed into mundane events //I will not correct my words,
*diffused whimpers and grunts of disinterested shambling's display as vacant shells rattling the dull chimes of fragile thoughts*
never apart from you, the distance is out of context, interpretation of facets to imagine something pure retains form
nothing won't burden you
a cruel thing to say
when you've left it open
circuit line cross rhyme
bitter space of lime soaked lace
open house ink blot book
meaning lost expired bubbles preserved thought
jam mud grind pace shawl droplet fuzz blanket tin
broken things with no means of fixing them
fire accelerates change
dust is weightless in comparison
admitting seeing something that scares evokes a restlessness
locking away and subduing suffocates thinking until burdens are dissolved into the glitter that reflects a solution
Something in my head, better off said, to know what echoes out
into dreams, I'm loosing steam, something she said
I was better off dead, though I always knew, that I'd persevere
to step to fear, I'm always near
And I won't forget what you said
the words run through my head
I can't think of anything to start,
I saw a spark & suddenly
I fell into some glass,
I didn't mind because scars are blind
and stars are sight or light or they bite down under
into your skin of the dark dark moonshadowed night
the white horse lays down
the little prick has given her a restful piece
or a sexual beat
or a hard blown sleep
with soft music by your side in the trash heap we lived in
to break it down
my mind is torn
but I know about the storm
lightning stabbing your intestines
a dark laughter taking over
a guilty mind for a mother
or if your father is not a fuck
torn down storm
when everything comes nothing fills the space
black and white dissolve boundaries
who I am today must change for I become irrelevant tomorrow
everyone thought she was a rapper
underneath her stripped skin and dusty flamed hair she sets the world on fire
and the ashes dissolve boundaries
stay safe
keeping pace

All equal

all equal
perfect the best
my badger had
when you see along the mast let go of the past
crazy immature ex
mature girl um
higher love is dangerous
i say with my head love everything
loot them anything then they say I'm without you
omnipresent
king of the pack
king of all kings
Adam is eve
third love the most powerful
god honorable
all equal
we are all god
all god is diligent
all love is children
fearlessness is a pact
no reaction to negativity
to expectedness to positivity
together we can venture
our general was a bat
god is love
comma is chaotic
echoes bare vicious
my budget add
women have ceiling
king of all kings
I connect the dots in my life like textures keep my mind clean
gear pedal riding on my Pegasus, in the state of neurogenesis

I forget how old I am
my years ebb and flow
I've been older when I've been younger
and younger when I've been older
oh how the way it goes
the strings been tattered
been on fire
been stretched to the core
I'm starting again
taking it slow
I ask for reassurance that everything's ok
And I'm starting to learn that its not
oh she went down
oh she went down
down to the pits of heaven
weed spitting out glue
so he could speak
I wish in one week, two weeks, three
I'll be able to see connection
disintegration, development overtaken
he sees her with the unlucky white lighter
but its milky and sweet
don't stand on those two feet
I've got a beat
drag and take
I'll make your plate
show you how high you actually are
intelligence bends, but not for you
you just get the bends
closed down brick by brick is the formation
a relative fix of domination
you got me by the swell of my boot
muddy prints on my lovers roof
digging to smell the earth
but a translucent blues hides my view
and makes me look right at you
sitting there positioned like a fawn without a predator anywhere in view
he touched her thighs as her eyes went black
backwards bending
the days go by
I see you out the window slowly pacing to and fro
you never said goodbye
I was too slow to die
fire, storm, thunder lights
I see you up there
in the sky hidden quite high
I'll be with you soon babe
back to the sound that shivers down your spine

don't you worry baby doll
I'll be there when you fall
picking up the broken pieces
leaving in those brand new sneakers
don' t worry about a thing at all
I'll be there standing tall
knocking knocking on your door
chewing on an apple core
breathe in breathe out
take it slow like falling snow
Cupid's arrows in the bow
pitter patter comes the rain
and I'll never be the same
never have I seen you here
silent shadow shed a tear
looking for a promise held
by secrets of the wedding bells
shoe your feet and hit the street
there's somebody you gotta meet
hold your hand out steady now
won't you come on down the aisle
breathe in breathe out
take it slow like falling snow
Cupid's arrows in the bow
pitter patter comes the rain
and you'll never be the same

I'm feeling strange again (softly spoken hallelujah she said)
timing like the shot if enough cash was enough (put a seed in the head)
can we have a really fat joint (lead pencil white ink)
I'm off the stoop
where the number dialed 782 broke the chord
and then guitar strings
metals all around us
and car handles
all in uniform
line lines lines
just stash the shit out
got what we want, we're not gonna take no fall
some things go without saying
torn your gun in vain
if the train come
and I'm not there
I'll be happy in the morning
valium couldn't help her
with crippling anxiety
the world is a monster out of touch with society
"this is very comfortable"
"mhm yeah its not bad, align the beads to support your frame"
"sounds like you've done this a lot"
"for surgeries"
"you were so down"
I was sitting up when they spoke right through me
"yeah yeah"
In your first attempt
that time was not certain
though she was sweet
you could hear the teardrop
she felt safe though
nothing compared... to the depths of such thoughts
ha, walked off with a laugh
just a scare on the arse
mum makes the sausages she knows the lengths and measurements for tolerance
all in the mind she said at seventy seven you'd never known you had grown up upon entering the gate
the call she left in a sea shell still chills me to my bones
father snoring
put some smack on his lip she'd say
though take your knickers off first or there be a dis-arrangement
don't flavour the pork
go over the fence
they bring lean spice for ya
no trespassing she would say pointing the finger at you
mother had a way with words that passes through your voice reinforcing the kinship you wavered in doubt
back off, just three weeks to shave the bullion
need not bring it all back or suspicion be bee be buzzer
father yelled
the family was always in silence though
a nice piece of art
