Pull the Cloth From Your Eyes

pull the cloth from your eyes
look no further
gently turn your attention
towards its plaid patterns
its glimmering splendor
dwarfed by the dawn of day

Rabbit Hole

this is life
quite fun
quite boring

It Doesn'T Matter

There's that sound again
A sound of dying 
And the company of a friend

In this twilight shine
Black ash and a silver cloud
This sliver of hope makes a dumb man proud

It doesn't matter
If to the left or right this wind blows
This is as high as my poor heart can go

That laughter in the foreground
Flocks of hair flying towards the sky
A mountaintop kissed by Eden within

Martyrdom

I walked out

I walked towards a house of horror

And ate at its gates for many years

They gouged out my eyes

And made me bleed rivers of blood from my mouth

They drove six large spikes into my skull

So as to affect my mind with horror

They dragged me listless and faint through a dark street

And crucified me on a steel beam

By welding my risks and my ankles to its scaffolding

I hung there while I was alive

And when they discovered that my body could not stop producing blood like a river from my eye sockets

And from my gaping mouth

They electrocuted me

And I disappeared from my steel crucifix

To wander the universe with God

I still wander the world to this day

And when I ascended like my Lord

From out of my invisible tomb

I did not smell of smoke from a furnace

Therefore my oil is as clear as water

And it flows like gentle wind

Singing in a tempest

The martyrdom of Hineni

Amen

Sunshine

A mountain shining in morning glow
Fire looks down from below
It took a strong heart
To bind these thrills

White and sincere
Gleaning off of your joy
The past in rewind
You broke time for me

My enemies, black and red
Took off for good
Such sweet fire
And there was no longer night there

Selah

Beloved

John, resting his head on Messiah's heart,
Heard wonderful mysteries
And longed to be there
Therefore God ripped open his chest
And gave him rivers of blood

Good Luck

when I look in the mirror
I see only myself
but time is on my side
and soon 
my eyes will turn to you

Punchdrunk

remind me the next time
your face flashes before my very eyes

Yes

i'm afraid it's true
my dear
the lights have gone off
the jungle rests
the world deeply sleeps
as though it were some giant bear
the sky is no longer aglow with stars
the cities no longer gape about into the void
streets lay dormant
blood courses through the veins
the fowl birds of the air perch high
and great monsters of the deep swim in peace
and my heart for you also stands still
as though it were some giant reservoir
or a broken dam
and yes
i'm afraid it's true
i love you

A Poem For My Love

I don't want your black sunshine
Your golden locks waving in the cosmic abyss
I don't want your silver lips touching mine
The rays of glory beholding their splendor
Instead I want your love
And I want it in a bitter cup
That only I could drink
