A Place

There is a place
Where my legs dare not carry me
The stars overwhelm themselves
In their pleading immensity
Reflection carries me there
To be like unto them

Kissing the sun’s face
Laying in the moon’s beauty
The heat sears me to euphoria

Stranger’s Heart Revised?

Who can speak truly of the heart’s depth?
Who has seen its countenance with clarity?
Speak not of that base seat of blind desire.
Speak of that wellspring of expansive unity.
We have a heart, but we do not know it.
We seek to fill something...

Stranger’s Heart

Who can speak of the heart’s depth in truth?
Who has seen its countenance with clarity?
We have a heart, but we do not know it.
We seek to fill something which is forever full.
Only by reflective expansion towards unity
Will we come to know our...

In absence

Deviant being bound in a body in a box
Sight to only behold stars by mind’s eye

Awaken to a desert
Dead oasis found in dreams

Nihilistic sense of zen
Nothing seen in everything

Essence purged through
By the thresh of the abyss

Sit

We sit with none but silence
Apprehensive towards a thought
We much less would speak at all
For all truly falls to nought

Sit with me, my dearest friend
Give an end to your striving
You’ve no place but here to be
Close your eyes to see the...

Only Love

Lusting long for dominion
Seeking souls for them to rule
Bleeding hearts for them to damn
Knowing no word such as cruel

For characters uncaring
Such a concept is simple
As for my most human heart
Beats dwindle unto trembles

Never

I’m begging for short peace which dare not come
Forsaking the rise of an unwelcome sun
I lay all day and restlessly wrestle
Clench my fists around sheets, grip ‘till they rip

Time dilates past the point of my sanity
Fingers too weak for me to...

She

She brings me rest in the midst of malaise
Her beauty dances in a cloud of smoke
Permeating dark corners of the day
Breathing into me, begging to elope
So warm on my tongue, each kiss is new hope
Swelling from my lungs to burst through my eyes

Walls

Do you hear them call?
Do you hear them cry?
My walls
Have something to hide.
Not on this side
Nor on the other
Will you help me find them?
Please
They’ve begun to smother.
Do you see it
Is it visible?
Do you feel it
Is it tangible?
No

Why

Why do you cast yourselves down,
Eyes of my most loved soul,
In the clarity of my fleshly heart?
I look to you always,
Cry out to you even,
Throughout most radiant days
Bordering the anticipation of dusk.
I spy your purest tears
Shining...
