A thousand angels fall
As ten thousand ages pass.
The feather and the stone
Showing that nothing lasts.
The fiery sun of her hair;
The ocean storm of her eyes.
The erotic fantasy of her smile;
A million deaths of her goodbyes.
A darkened sky flies into midnight
As stars twinkle in their defiance.
The moon bright with blood,
The red smile of deliverance.
The smokey haze of my confidence,
The fall of mercy and grace.
The ejaculation of paradise,
The violence of death’s embrace.
A moment in eternity
Is like a drop of rain in the sea.
An eternity spent in a moment
Is my fate, the only one I see.
Death smiles with gnawing teeth,
With outstretched arms and claws revealed.
My beauty, my love, my darling heart,
Betrays me with a kiss sealed
By fate’s hand, and I will die.
In dying, know that fantasy made real
Betrays the soul of man,
And makes the flesh to feel.
Untitled
I am alone.
Walking the street, couples surround me. Their happy faces glow in the eyes of the one they adore. Underneath the mask of love, it is all the same: feat eats away souls unaware.
I am darkness.
There was a flame inside that was extinguished by betrayal. My love was the victim as the sun poured in. Fear murdered my heart.
I am death.
Eyes see nothing but destruction as pain becomes pleasure. Blood spills down my hands as I wipe away the evidence of emotion. It is better than being numb.
I am nothing.
Shadows crowd me as I withdraw from the scenes played out before me. You were once mine. I have no meaning.
I am forsaken.
On my knees, I cry out. There is nothing, no one to answer my pleas. You are gone. Anger takes over, and I lose my salvation to the glorious heat of sins never to be forgotten. Your betrayal changed me, killed me, yet I still breathe. Now, there is an eternity to exact my revenge.
Distraction
Moments of weakness
Bring me to this place.
I need a distraction.
I long to see your face.
The world gets too big,
And my heart, too heavy.
I just want some peace
And to be happy.
What I wouldn’t give to
Spend a day in your arms.
Shut out the world,
And surrender to your charms.
Your kiss might be lethal
And your touch, my death,
But to have that day,
I’d gladly give my last breath.
You seem to be
Just the distraction I need.
When nothing goes right,
And morning only brings tears,
I want to drown in your body,
Have you kiss away my fears.
Holding you close with
Our tangled legs uncovered.
The only heaven I seek
Is to be your lover.
What wouldn’t I give to
Spend a night in your eyes?
To taste the passion of Eden
And trust in the lies?
Our bodies dipped in
Wine, sweat, and ecstasy
While you hold me captive,
A prisoner of Divinity.
You seem to be
Just the distraction I need.
Embers and Ashes
I saw your face today
In an old photograph on a wall
And I couldn’t stop the pain
From pouring down my face.
It seemed the past was on my tongue
Like a bittersweet aftertaste
Almost forgotten in the years that have come and gone.
We are all just embers in the fire.
The winds of time blow hard and free.
They still, become calm,
But life continues on.
We are the embers, sparks of life
Or dying charcoal.
We all have a part to play,
And I still miss the spark you gave to me.
I can still see your smile
So kind and full of joy.
You were a gift I never fully understood.
Gone from me before spark had passed.
Now, all is ashes and dust
Still blown about as time marches on.
We are all just ashes-to-be
Still clinging to the warmth of life
As we burn, burn away
Everything but our true selves
Embers in the fire of life
Burning too brightly to last
As I ask myself, who were you
In the end, when the light went out?
