A Scab

you were never in love
with me except for that feeling
that burst through your cock and crowed for
me at dawns break and alarmed all but
a saint and allowed room for fashion
at a reasonable rate
coupled with all of your expression and crippling indecision
the catacombs of your whys fevering the attempts
to boiling points and highs cooling them with
distance and neglected penmanship
weak correspondence as decayed as starvation
amidst the famine
burning deep inside my loins
growth further inside my womb
desire deeper than my mind
and all tormented by your words or lack there of
your worthy less than soul to speak any kinder
than capable of sewn
to my death I take with thee the promise
of a note left untold.

Bg

the rain falls hard and the puddles rise deep
your interest in me is faltering steep
I try to make the difference by splitting it in two
but my heart hasn't the strength mentally due

the energy sails quickly down the floodways
your pace keeps steady throughout the days
twilight brings the notions so freely back
and now you fit in so well without your tact

the sounds are clouding the crimson air
our kinship dwindles to not even there
I reach for answers to fill in the thoughts
till the day that my contentment is finally sought

adriatic fortunes told so frugal and bold
our manic sessions were initially told
twilight keeps time of what fashion spent
in good spirit of an ephemeral felt gent

For Bob Dylan

The dampness exemplifies the credence unspoken and unnamed

whilst dripping and sweating unmasked the pain

And all the while her body lay there weeping

his watchful eye and her pussy cat lay there sleeping 

Deep, deep in the depths of his mind

throttled the shaft and rode her unkind

Not in an attempt for love but for feeling

he touched her but not comforting nor sincerely 

As aroused as she was her time was really near

to lay there so poised yet in motionless fear

Perhaps twisting inside in a round-about way

a jab or a kiss from his puppetry play 

Taking each life's urgent will brought

endless counting of battle from thought

A time when his better spent effrontery

would have yielded him to her more gallantly 

Betwixt the calling of the sorrows fixed

the moment elapsed and the caution then nixed

To heed the call taken upon lustful desire 

but a treat she begrudged yet so eager to conspire 

Not a dead end but a rolling hill forward

something to ponder, like that which she adored

Leaving with a taste of a good love's high

dreaming of the day when reality passes you by 

Time well spent

a love not meant

Time well lived

a story about a kid

I Wait For You

I wait for you
I've waited for you so long
What If you should choose another
What is not to stop you from such a course
Deep deep down in my heart
In my own way I feel love
Always feeling never fleeting
But my rationale is my remorse

I trick death as I trip on my discord
I wonder if I truly am adored

Take to the sea on a plane
Go forth now I can't stand the pain

Sail sail away
Anchor my dismay
Find the words to say
Aleviate or concrete my disarray

Test life
Give faith

You Lost It All

A sympathetic guilt stricken with grief filled tears

trapped behind eyes controlled by a mind

greater than the earths atmosphere

taken by surprise

given warnings full speed ahead

trouble forgets the golden days

and the turn of events

albeit splendid of a complete haze

a massive fortune living in space

take me now

leave the hopelessness so well

prescribe in unadulterated fashion

cast your mast and leave a magic hell

forge your honesty on a dollar bill

taking every last morsel

besiege the given moments well passed

for days now my ulcer blisters to health

the sickness lingers over me

coupled with timing and the median wealth

not of any maker more of paper trade

I cannot help what I am

maybe only who I become

taketh the wealth

gone again

below time

where nothing stays the same

But Break My Heart

Riddling my soul
eating me alive
tearing us apart 
breaking my world in two

Because a love so true
Has got me weak at the knees
And dumb at the heart
And this distance is tearing us apart

But I still love you

I've got to keep on trying
Together we must find away
Because until the day you slip away
I ll have loneliness in my heart

Time cannot stop us the change will do us good
But this bridge is burning and the wall is standing strong
