Life
Acid tears plough ditches down cheeks
Holes in the soul leak life's candy like blood
Handcuffed to reality, pain seeps in
An alcoholic grabs the neck of a bottle
A flesh wound to the soul
The wall of feathers blown down
The lock cracked, the monster uncaged
Demon fed by the guillotine of love
Revenge it's only passion
A cocoon has produced a snake
The stranger inside you now leads you to the cliffs edge
Don't slip
A kiss lands cold upon your cheek; death turns away
Needle raindrops of insanity pierce your reality
Frustrated and imagined, you throw yourself to the ground
The floor of cracked glass you created shatters
you crash, fall back to the beginning
Golden grass of experience cushions your fall
Life's destiny known solely to the hands of fate
Tears saturate your eyes; the fix you long for
Again
You rush to hide your chickens before the storm
Barn struck by lightening, afire is all
Flames charge the heavens, tempting Hell
Gaurdian angel fallen
Nothing
Turmoil weakens your cruelty
You kick the black cat from your path
A grave digger unearths a tomb
To see the bones but not the people
Light a candle to see only what you wish
Preception is nine- tenths of reality
All left unsaid, undone, unheard
Now but an echo into eternity
