Despair

An illusion of life turns to ashes in my mouth
Damaged goods are disposed of in vast landfill tombs
Not wrapped in shimmer latex and patent leather
A mirrored gender out of dimension
False female projection a wasted life in divas clothing
World wide second string acceptance
A long dormant black rose bloomed in the sun
Now withering in darkness
Petals falling to dust
Words falling into black hole consumption
It’s a desert thirst with concrete dust
Stiletto fantasy my prison of shattered arctic ice
A butterfly fans its wings
I don’t belong
A step out of sync becomes the shadow of attraction
My razorblade fascination
Skin bursting with light
Bipolar emotion sliding forever
I’m Beauty without function
Desire without courage
Love unrequited
My soul bleeds from my dreams

Ocean

A reflected glance turns to stone
Meaningless human banter fades to ambient sea shell symphony
Rolling oceans of emotion on wild cresting waves
An ethereal tear duct caress
Dense predawn ocean mist gathers dew point critical mass
A Genesis for Saline feelings
Crossing kohl, rouge and wax reaching a powdered precipice
Falling unnoticed as mercuric raindrops on carpet seas of grime
Unless caught with lace lacquered fingertips
Saved from obscurity
Absorbed by enchantment
A moment, an eternity drowning in your eyes

Paradox

I live in paradise
Robinson Crusoe and broadband internet lifeline
A modern paradox
Old friends close and departed
Natural friends and love
Out of touch in the corporeal realm
Connected by wires and light
Is it real?

Sell my soul for a future, someone’s idea of life
Not mine, since my second birth
Fuck that
Conquer fear and breach the habitual path
Feel the freedom
A soul relaxed
Facile it will not be
Life’s game never is

Perfection is offered in another game
Always a catch
A reason to capitulate to safe deficiency
The meek submit to fear
Dying inside in their false nirvana
The dreamers catch the wind
Cast to uncharted waters
Fortuity over the tunnel of hell

12 Days End

Across the night

Distance explosion

Reaching heart flies behind

Perfume pillow

Discarded leash

Glittered glue torn from skin

Memory of mine

Dreamscape perfection

My soul reborn in new dimensions

I’m going to Escape

Though the void of time

Far City lights over a long horizon

My hands reach for missing scars

For missing memories of love

A time not perfect

I’m understood yet depth to be explored

There’s a perfect smile in this world

I saw it in paradise though clove smoke

Under top hat and tulle
