Soul Fly

I wish to stroke my soul
       as to awaken it 
       from its dormant state

 releasing it 
   so that it might transcend 

into the sky and beyond
      past the moon 
      and all the stars

penetrating the borders of the galaxy

leaving the universe 
       
escaping time...
(forever eternal)

The Hunt

Happiness is my enemy-
 
I crave it so hard that 
I seek it in the wrong places

Like a phene in the night 

Roaming the streets 
  Collecting trash for a hit..

The taste is so euphoric

I ride its high 
like a wave...

And when it ends                                         
I come crashing down 
into the Earth

And dissolve,

Pulling myself back away 
From the sunlight,
    Fading 
Into the shadows

Where I eagerly await 
     Another taste.

Ocean Love

Love me right 
Hold me tight 
or baby just 
Let me go
My soul can't live 
in this limbo

We build sand castles
during the day 
only to be washed away
by the nights tide 
Im crumbled inside 
Exposed under the stars shine

I hate myself 

Won't you love me
back to health  
Smooth me back into your shores
Remind me 
Why I'm yours...

Drugged-Up and Dying

The familiar burbon warmth 
crept through each vessel,
slow and hard the burn-
turning me out from the inside.
I closed my eyes 
and braced for impact, 
I always fall hard right here...
Long tendrils of silky-soft hair 
framed my porcelain face as I
lowered my head in defeat.
I'm clean on the surface 
but stained like church glass underneath,
a wrecked consequence 
of this beautiful life
that is ominously cursed
with the promise of death.
