Pulsing

Friendly
Watching
Dreaming
Barking
Chasing
A friend
At hand
Your absence echoes
through the quiet
places of my heart
reverberations
search for you
~ returning ~
to simply fade away
You are gone
and warmth
with you
Now loneliness paints
the icy walls of
my soul
with pulsing need...
and pulsing ache
Natural death licking aims
Now our bleach seasons heirs
And the pubis of public lore
Intrauterine spinning blue dream cream
Roils rushing a rock star’s semen searching
For golden lands of rum and sable ladies eyeing
Blown ear-drum truth percussive
Hand-grenade vibrator lipstick hash
Recall spinning reams in a hyperinflation
Of love overture blend ground night hues of whispers
Meaninglessness long snaking verbs of silence wilt low
Screw worm elect obscene emotive drooling apocalypses
Standing there in the middle of the dancefloor
Paralyzed
Not knowing how to move.
Close your eyes, feel the beat,
Thumping through your feet
Right to your core.
There you go
Making your way through the song,
Dancing, getting lost along the way.
You didn't feel like you fit on the floor,
It's okay
Stay away from the door.
Give yourself a chance,
Let the song lead the way.
Getting lost to the beat,
On the dancefloor.
The beat pulsing through your feet
Here you're in the moment,
Feeling it in your core.
Getting lost along the way,
Unable to run away.
Paralyzed
Here's the chorus, sing along
Even if your words are lost.
It's alright, no one can hear you,
Sing loudly
Getting lost to the words.
Pulsing through your core
Go along,
You can sing the song all the way.
From the song, the dancefloor holds onto you.
The door's too far away,
Don't slow down.
Can't you feel the floor pulsating?
Your heart's in tune.
Down to the soul,
Away from the door,
Getting lost along the way.
Don't let yourself escape.
Stay,
You're not paralyzed.
I stand, chained and damned
Curses upon me like a battling ram
Demons circle around me near and deep
Been many years since I had any sleep
And this is where I cry
Not wanting to live, not wanting to die
God come to me, find me as another son
Hold me, embrace me, let me be the one
Naked, I am a man of fear
Forsaken, forgotten, my forgiveness is in my tears
Each beat of life marrys my pulsing heart
Is this the end, or where I restart
callous curves smirk
leering lanky lurch
seeped'n saucy seal
bounded by breach
smothering furious frown
delicate draws drawn
tuning **** trail
tactic trend traced
through tampered space
legs like onyx
pulpy pulchritude polished -
glimmering gaunt gifts
vying voluptuous structure
loving lust punctured.

will met zeal
fostering felon feast
pulsing passion puking
dangling desires drooling
he approached her
pruning tactic prayer
zeal bounty bounced
tucked will's power
twain tunning town
then said zeal
passion feigning feast
lousy lips leak
"Will, you're nought!
fate had fought."

pruning pulpy pear
tactic tier's there
passion pasting prayers
fostering fallible fair
felon figs belched
contractions cobbling crest
whooshing wind yawned
tucking tainted flaws
owed to draws
then a coda
mystic melody murdered
concerto grosso clustered
pulsing pear blushed
leering lanky lust.

A delicate balance held under
one cool breeze warmed by the sun
Frailty in love fragrantly echoes
deeply carried on birds song
Peace and serenity holds the air
on a vapor trailing thought
Looking around at heather blossoms
withering caught in a web
Silent blowing warm brushing whispers
rustling through the trees golden
Baby blue dressed with mother of pearl
clouds scatter the sky sparsely
Star of the sea beautiful vessel
sails upon salted remains
Your music plays the sweetest strings tug
swims to the heart in each beat
