Chasing Shadows
There is a vile brutality to love
A beauty in sufferin & disease
There is a tinkerin madness
An eternity to fleetin seasons
We find a wholeness in lack
A lack in imagined perfection
There is hymnal in the hades
And a vex in the paradise
We feel the burden of love
The crassness of affections
We endure the laughters, yet
Enjoy the vagaries of pain
We find sweetness in battle n war
We realise life in murder n guile
I see only madness in everything
The pursuit of hope n shadows
The peace n life in the cemetery
The valliance in death & decay
The frailness of the human heart
Diseased and maligned wth joy
The freckled ugly face of faith
The anality of logic &reason
Her beautiful deamonic eyes
We have found angels & beasts
Heavenly rainbows & ragin storms
I find myself in a glass of whisky
In her eyes the universe resides
I taste her violent lips in my dreams
