the sky
blue with pain
reading letters
off of passing cars

symbolic tears
dryspell eyelid
please stop talking
i can't stand it

you told me never
that's why my
hands hurt from
stopping traffic

carry on with neon lights
pouring from your eyes
with strobes for your
blinking, stopping hearts

i believed in you once
like a possibility of future
marking it's territory
on my scene

stop making sounds
when you talk
it sounds like car alarm clocks
shouting at the top of their robotic lungs
periodically check my pulse
to make sure i can still
feel

SHCKTHRPY

i have crushed all of the glass
and walk upon it like i was
losing my god damn mind
flourescent blood pours
from my birdfeet weeping.
a catalog of my past indiscretions
listed like a wrap sheet

burnburnburn the backs of my eyelids with your certainty
because i can't help feel amused
by newspaper clippings of murders
and crime reports of junkies
ODing on their own useless
intoxication

i have bred myself in the form
of all my pastlives
fistfucked into oblivion
by some feeling i created
to piss off levelheaded citizens
with too much free time

welcome to a version
of all your fantasies
gone completely
wrong

sculpture

in four years
i have built
myself a pedestal
on which i place
the example of
the perfect woman
taking opposite traits from
my former lovers
and sculpting
the most beautiful
work of art
i could muster up
the strength to create
but in doing so
i found
it's our faults that
make us strong
and make us
beautiful
and in my eyes
you are the most
beautiful woman
i have even known

After Us the Flood

GOODNIGHT TO THE BASTARDS
cheap wine and stale bread
a mighty fine feast for the dead
all broken noses and busted hands
just one more list of demands
take those goddamn hands off that goddamn gun
I told you once, I ain't nobodys son
we own these streets and we run this town
stay in line or we'll gun you down
God don't even walk these busted streets
'cause even he knows we're packing heat

after us the flood
the gutter's will fill with blood
and believe, kid, this aint a lie
mess with us and you're gonna die

parasitic application for the new world

there you stand
fully loaded gun in your hand
waiting for someone
to make the first move
and the cash is in the trunk
of a car headed west
and you, alone, are the hero
or really, just a villain
waiting for someone
to realize your faults
and finally call you out
money comes
and debt grows
like a barnacle
attached to your eyelids
as you sleep on a bench
in the park
waiting for the money to go through
and your life to end

sunken eyes part I

sunken eyes
you never sleep
only the pitter patter of footsteps
on stilts
watching television
through a microscopic lens
sinking ships
you never weep
rather you sail on an ocean of tears
on a "wave of mutilation"
far beyond the reaches
of space and time
and your mother she once cried for you
when you gathered up your belongings
and headed for the coast
but now you stand
sunken eyes
like a shipwreck
at the bottom of an ocean of noise
gathering dust
instead of possessions
i envy your persuasion.
i envy your complete
and full
denial
for
t r a d i t i o n

the Hill

If I could write the words that I would love to say
I'd tell you that you mean the world to me
and if I could give you anything then i would give you all of me
'cause I am only nothing without you.
Your eyes, they bring me back to life and make me feel alive
and i know i can be strong for you
and you are my everything, my first and last and in between
and i just want to give the world to you
to you

i'll stand atop the tallest hill
screaming out your name, singing
we will only be young for so long
take my hand and you will see
exactly what this life can be
i just want to share my life with you

as we sit here kissing like we're love struck teenagers,
i know i'm not just blinded by the feeling
that i get when your lips touch mine, it makes me feel more than alive
and i don't want this smile to wear off
you are like a wrecking ball busting through my wall
and you have got my full attention now
and i will always wait for you no matter if you want me to
'cause i am feeling like i could fly

Heroine

With those sleeping pills in your hand, you rest
and your eyelids close so delicate
that bottle of wine, you emptied it
and what does it mean when you die in a dream
by your own hands?
choking on your words, you vomit discreetly alone
on the bathroom floor

One bullet loaded in your gun, you'll write home
telling mother and father not to wait up for you
You have been cheated, completely mistreated by your lover
now it's time that you woke up and blew his brains out his nose

Sing me a song that no other man who has slept in your bed would love
I know you have been wronged, but I am not him, I'm just trying to win your love

This arsenic screams like a damn symphony in my mouth
and you have been crying so long you can't see a way out
bitterness comes and hatred it grows in my soul
like sugar and water, how it feel so sweet in my throat

Hell, it dies, when a party of you smiles, it's been quite a while my love
Kiss me now atop of this hill, it's a thrill and we are one

Petunia

My heart beats like a skipping stone or a solitary footstep
as my eyes meet yours and I know we'll never last
you breathe deep as i kiss your neck and we make our way up the stairs
to your apartment where we'll start to undress
and you lay, so still and calm, as our lips create a pretty poem
written for our solitary ears alone
and the leaves change color now, will you lay with me a little longer
I promise that I will not disappoint you

Will you lie to me or lay with me some more?
our skin exposed as we lock up all the doors
will you sink with me as we lay here on the floor
oh my pretty darling, please don't cry anymore

and you smile, when you look at him, does he make you feel the way i did
or was your steady heartbeat just a lie?
does he make you cry out in your sleep and does he make you weep for me?
maybe next time you'll remember what you did
are his eyes a bit like mine, my love? or an empty substitute
for the physical attraction that we had?
I promise now by the time I'm through, that all of this i built for you
was basically a build up for a lie

a Heartbeat in Four Four Time

how does a man measure
the love in his heart?
or the smile on his face?
in time?
in length?
in volume?
as his chest fills with
the feeling of a pounding
heartbeat.
could it beat down the doors of despair
and lift itself above the haze and the fog
of turmoil and solitude?
darling, you make me feel
like
I could take the world and lift it upon my shoulders
and carry it a fourty miles
to your doorstep and
kiss you until the sun goes down.

She Is My Burning Desire

She is my burning desire
with eyes that sing the a song
in the language of love
and her lips which whisper
the sweetest melody
when she smiles.

She is my burning passion
when her lips touch mine
and we hold each other
through the night.

She is what i long for
in these hours i don't sleep
slowly creeping my way through
the night with the smell of her
perfume on my shirt
singing me to sleep

She is my burning desire
with our hands clasped tight
as we kiss and stare into
each others' eyes

She is my burning flame
and I would be cold
without her
to hold me tight
as we say those
three small words
and smile

cymbals

taking all my pills
gonna sleep
safe and sound
with your lips
crashing like a cymbal
in my mind
singing me the
damnedest melody
as you say those words
that make my heart
pause
for only a second

Sinker

tied like a knot
to an anchor
thrown overboard
at the other end
a helpless victim
of some gang related
crime

Peak

exposed
and naked
our bodies up against each other
performing this play for two
you, the protagonist
and me, the antagonist
thrusting my knife
deep into your loins
until you moan and sweat
and cry for God
and yes, God is coming soon
and we roll around and
press our hands into each other's backs
your nails digging deeper into me
and my knife, deeper into you
and you scream
and shake
and I tremble above you
and moan
then we stare, into each others' eyes
until finally we fall asleep
on the floor

Walkers by the Sea

They walked, hand in hand,
along the coastline
with nowhere in mind.
They always talked for hours
completely wrapped around one another
and every morning at sunrise
they kept their love alive,
with their toes in the sand
and their heads in the clouds
"Lovers always until the end of time"
and they walked forever
into the orange glow of that oceanic sun
resurrecting the daylight
and the passion of it's beauty

I Fell Asleep After Making Love

I fell asleep after making love
with an angel from my dreams
and every morning after
I have woken up to screams.
There are claw marks on the walls
of this small apartment room
from the nightmare that awoke
from our slow impending doom.
I lit a cigarette after
we had made our rounds
and then I fell asleep
and burned that sucker down

We Are Wires

wired
my bones are just
telephone poles
and my nerves
send messages
to the citizens
in my mind.
prank calls
and bill collectors.
my skin is wrapped
around this power station
and all i make
is electricity
and bad choices.

the phone is ringing
with the receiver pressed down.
nobody's home.
nobody cares.
sometimes I tear at my
canvas of flesh
just to make damn sure
that the circuits in my head
are functioning
properly.

wired.
with my nerves
and my flesh.
when you touch me
our bodies become alive
with sparks and buzzing
the magnetic hum
of a complete circuit.
with our rain soaked
trunks
becoming burning trees
fresh from lightning
and thunder.
you make me
scream and moan and cry and howl
like 100,000 volts of electric
heaven
coursing through my body
in a joyous celebration
of our ceremony,
here naked
and shaking.

wired.
we are electric
with our arms
and our legs
and sweat
and our lips
and heat
conducting a symphony
briefly
for we are two mere
electrons
in a haze
until we fall asleep
and the music
dies out
and we become
ash and old heat.

I Hope Something Eats You From the Woods

the gods lurk
from the trees
where when you
were very young
had been able
to dance and play
then one day
at age 14
he touched you
and now there are monsters
that always lurk
in the very woods
where he touched you
and made you
cry.

now you're older
and the monsters
are bigger and
you desperately pray
for God to
kill them finally.

Song 21

my arms outstretched
i reach towards the sun
your shining heart beating
shooting it's warmth down onto my face.
with the smell of you
burned into my face and neck

i want to feel like Icarus
flying with waxwings
straight to your fire burning heart
and be like some angel
collapsing into the ocean of your lungs

my arms outstretched
i reach in the direction
of your soft delicate face
and the feeling of your hair
like fine thread of linen
through my fingers
as our lips dance

this horizon is better
as you sit beside me
as my eyes stray
over to yours
and we laugh
like lovestruck schoolkids
daring to take a chance
to grasp onto
what we
have always
wanted

Six Fingered Father

i was born in a landmine
in 1970, left for dead
in a hospital room
starving
and craving
attention from
some adult male

father, is a six fingered word
freakish and weeping
like a drunk
in an alleyway
wishing he could
take me back
and step
only discreetly
on that landmine
blowing us
to bits

dream for me

awake.
not out of desperation or despair
but out of the nervousness that your smile
runs straight through my nerves
and makes me feel strong
and makes me feel like
if the world were ending tonight
that i would die
knowing that i was the cause of
your smile
and your blinking eyes
ready for sleep
to dream
of me
maybe.

Bridgejumper

i can feel the heavy air
weighing down my chest
pounding like an officer
at the door of an apartment
is there someone dead inside?
has there been an emergency?
like a jumper at the roof
i stand here
impulse has always been
one of my stronger points

like a pianist with fingers
broken
i will spill out my guts
smiling

i can feel the heavy air
of your breath as we kiss
can you feel it?
heavy and anxious
hanging like a nervous fire
waiting to be fueled.

like a golden gate jumper
i fall
head over heels
for you
