Love Vandals


Ancient pain found my eyes
Pain not my own.
I felt it through his lyric
liquid
glass filled globes were they;
globes of starry nights shone alone
white against the night melody
against anyone who has broken someone's heart
love vandals
even against my own will
I found myself watching 
my own or general
tears stream down a mirror

A Gift


Songs speak to me

Songs that don't exist

And I make them real

Like Love



Smiling is something the body needs a soul to do  
Kind of like love...

Hopelessly Devoted to


i smell like the incense of last night's dance
Us cancers
We fall on the alter of love
piercing and dying on our own claw
if it may please you 
improve your mood in the slightest;
show you 
the devotion and fairy's tale 
you left on your own yellow brick road
with the monsters in your closet
and other cherished falsehoods
But our love is pearl in oyster
Real but yes rare
Yet, here it is
Take it
It's yours
For no good reason in particular

Real


I'm the Pinocchio on your shelf
I never became a real boy
And I heard you call me a toy...
so I cry sawdust tears
but still dream in flesh; in color
and can feel still smooth running in these knees
fluidity in my joints
but you have carved our story otherwise

Angel


I told you I was an angel.

No one is listening.

I Am Night


Tonight magic moves in the earth
And I let you go
My new moon
As the night releases light from the day
Until there is nothing
That is your parting
But not nothing
Night.
