Fellow Sinner

I may be no saint

I sin just as you do

My soul is neglected

My body is abused

But I am a keeper

Although I keep just one thing

For that, they call me unlucky

A terrible thing

Dress it up or dress it down

Do whatever it is you please

I know a diamond when I see one

And I know what it is you call ivory

Now if you can catch the sinner

The sinner of said soul

I may reveal a simple truth to you

I may let a certain story unfold

But if you hide behind the very thing

That allows your mind to see

I’m afraid that pain may start with you

That pain may continue with me

So tap into the depths of your fears my friend

Allow the darkness to rain true

For without the storm, the clouds can’t break

And as they swallow me

They’ll be carried by you

The First And Last War

They silenced us

They silenced us with their eyes

Judging

Drew a discriminative line

They degraded us

They degraded us with their laughter

And then they cornered us

Tried to define the things we were after

They used images

Lyrics

And they called us the evil ones

Crazy and hopeless

They gave other reasons for suns

And they shot the one we loved

They shot Him through our minds

Through His chest

And while we cried for Him

They tried to give us reasons to forget

Why must we be broken?

Is it there

In our blood?

The sins of our mothers

The lie of just one?

Madness or heartlessness

We all must live here

May it be endeared

Or may it be in fear

Can You Feel The Fever?

Reaching in the corners of your mind

I’m blind!

I’m blind!

Call out to human kind

They won’t ask questions

They won’t speak a word

They don’t care about your motives

Although this is what you heard…

“We are the protectors

The givers

The takers

We honor what was here

With bullets from fakers

The rest we send away

Eyes blinded

Mouths shut

We are relentless and unforgiving

We never say enough”

Bravo, bravo

You know you got it right

When everyone is nodding

When you feel their egos take flight

Blinded, blinded

Unseeing and unwound

Nothing can hold us down

Nothing can stop us now

Something About Someone Somewhere

She’s a collection

Of flesh, blood and bones

Assembled in the form of the human body

Garnished in an assortment of rare clothes

Oh, she’s a creature of some sort

That much cannot be denied

For she’s certainly breathing

And I see the light in her eyes

But something is strange

Within the depths of her being

And on the surface it shines

Unashamed, always seeing

Alien

I swear she must be

For the alien in her

Has greeted the alien in me

What a splendid reunion

What a horrific scene

For when the planet we exist on

Meets the end of all that’s green

I’ll chortle with my alien

And she’ll be laughing at me

A Girl Can Dream

What I’m hoping may someday be the title page of one of my novels…or something like it.

Last Night

Time breaks

The sun beams true

I opened the blinds

On all that’s me and you

I had a dream last night

You were there, in my arms

I kissed your forehead

Traced the subtle lines of your palm

Your eyes couldn’t be brighter

So beautiful and blue

A perfect reflection

Of the clear sky around you

My heartbeat thumped

In my ears, through to my chest

I smiled at the sound

As I smiled at you

Right then and there

Loving you was all I could do

And as the cherry blossom swayed

Raining its petals around us

I opened my arms

And let the wind surround us

I kissed you on the lips

One last look into your eyes

And that’s when I opened mine

Still smiling on the other side 

My boyfriend and I

Two in the Same

Expose your guts

For love has taken me

Feed your intestines

As hatred has forsaken me

How is it that two oposing beings

Live within the same creature?

If she hasn’t learned yet

Allow me to teach her

How one encircles

While the other surrounds

One hunts

The other drowns

It’s sickening and it’s twisted

It’s comforting in its warmth

The lighting of this truth

Is the scorching of this torch

Poster Girl

Use her

She dresses like a whore

Abuse her

That’s what she’s asking for

Nothing is sacred

Not the subtle curve of her wrists

Not the blue of her eyes

Or the freckle above her lip

Who would care

That she can play the piano?

Who gives a damn?

It’s all casted in shadow

Because she’s got the type of body

That’s useful for certain favours

And the boys, they get bored

And then it’s hot to enslave her

Tuck a little money in her pocket

That makes it justified

Do you kiss your daddy with those lips?

That’s real cute sweetie pie
