Knocking at the hearts door
Won't you let in the stranger
A friend forevermore
Knocking at the hearts door
For it's the King we adore
Won't you let him be your Saviour
Knocking at the hearts door
Won't you let in the stranger

The Steering Will
JaxSpade Oct 2019
It was one of those car rides
Windows down
And the wind blows moribund

As you beg for the cliff
On the edge of your prerogative
You wish you could crash
To ecape your roguish metamorphosis

What ever happened to that old you
You never used to drive with such turpitude

You used to hug those curves
And sing with the radio
Smiling with your eyes fastidious in stereo

It was one those rides
With redolent flowers on the countryside

You pulled into the rest stop
To tilt your head back
And regain your consciousness

It was one of those rides
When you decide

I shouldn't be driving like this

Cold Butter On the Counter
JaxSpade Oct 2019
Yet I find
A cold sky
A lost soul
In a mirror
Of time
The clocks face is mine
And yet I find
The end of the line
Inside
All these gears keep turning
Ticking toward the warning
Alarm
And yet I find
I was awake the whole time
Staring into a space
That conquered my mind
The room wasn't spinning
It was my eyes
They were so focused on quitting
Life
Yet I find
Myself crawling
However I wanted to climb
But I'm on the floor of falling
Hardly alive
I don't want to die
But I just might give it a try
Yet I find
Myself stalling
Hoping for a different calling
Than falling on a knife
The sky is so cold
And the mirror just told
My soul a lie
And as the second hand
Whispered to the minutes
How he wished the hours would die
I heard the chime

I am my behavior
Who really am I
Though
Blind am my eyes
Who is the I
In the outer spaces of my Saviour
Who knows what the morrow favours
I'm just a godt **** vapour
Looking back at me
I just stared at the moment
Even broken hearts have a rhythm
I thought about my foolish heartbeat
While darkness made himself the enemy
It was the Word and the light switches cure
I thought about in the beginning
All those powers in molecules and atoms
I tried not to breathe
It was a revolt against oxygen
My conscience didn't move
Staring at me
The space just sat there

The space just sat there
Staring at me
My conscience didn't move
It was a revolt against oxygen
I tried not to breathe
All those powers in molecules and atoms
I thought about in the beginning
It was the Word and the light switches cure
While darkness made himself the enemy
I thought about my foolish heartbeat
Even broken hearts have a rhythm
I just stared at the moment
looking back at me
I'm just a godt **** vapour
Who knows what the morrow favours
In the outer spaces of my Saviour
Who is the I
Blind am my eyes
Though
Who really am I
I am my behavior

Save Your
JaxSpade Oct 2019
If I was hanging by a web
With life around my neck
Would you save enough breath
To keep me from my death

Would you keep my silver cord
In tact
Before It would snap
If it were around my neck wrapped
Would you loosen the strap

If my broken was back
Would you heal what had cracked
Could you save me from my God
And his wrath

If the noose was closing in
Digging in my skin
Would you help me get away
From my sin

If I was at
The end of my man
Would you take me by the hand
Save me from my plan
Understand
And still love me again
JaxSpade Sep 2019
God says to me with kind of a smile,
"Hey how would you like to be God awhile
And steer the world?"
"Okay," says I, "I'll give it a try.
Where do I set?
How much do I get?
What time is lunch?
When can I quit?"
Gimme back that wheel," says God,
"I don't think you're quite ready yet"

too... pretty
JaxSpade Sep 2019
She's too pretty
For an old shoe
A walk in the park
    With an old sole

She's much too beautiful
For a gray sky
Much too...

For an old soul

              Pretty

For a silver moon
           Candlelight
           And a heart
                   Blue

She's much too everything
                 Yesterday knew

     For an old fool
A shot in the dark
By a sparks mood

She's much too pretty
For an old youth
   An old song
That was new

Pretty for...

           You

           Know
The way she eyes
Your old heart

             Inside

                    You know
She's much too pretty
To like

Beautiful
For a rusted mind
       Too everything
For what you might

Consider alright

   Pretty

Garden of Earth
JaxSpade Sep 2019
I grew a flower
It sits on the table
In a vase with water

It took so much time to grow
To watch it wither so slow

Each petal fallen
Watches my wrinkled skin

Which one of us will fight
To the end

·hot fire·
JaxSpade Sep 2019
The fire embraces my eyes
Every flame is a dancer
I admire

She caught me in her flicker
Staring at her figure
I need her warmth
On my cold hands
To cure my shivers

Sitting by the fire
I admire each flame
Burning away

Every ember I trace
Is a warm embrace
Crackling and popping
In the cool night air
Soothing my face

My cold cold hands
Need each flame
As each one waltzes
Across my pupils

Watching
In a daze

The fire caught my gaze
And whispered stay
Add another timber
Don't let her fade

Her warm embrace
Captured my eyes
While the flames danced
Into the night

Across the ballroom floor
They wrestle with warmth
Arm and arm
Burning hearts

That warm embrace
Of desire
Caught my eyes
And lit them

On fire

His Umbrella
JaxSpade Sep 2019
Tears in her eyes
Who'd make it rain

Under his umbrella
Dripping mascara

Who'd heal the pain

It all started with sunny skies
Green grass and butterflies

But who'd bring the end

Tears in her eyes
Who'd get em dry

Maybe it could be him

Under his umbrella
She wept a well that
He would wipe away

Tears in her eyes
He'd make em' dry

And she would love again

We don't need to argue
JaxSpade Sep 2019
I could hear the stars whispering

Before the moon sat me down
Next to my conscious disappearing

I didn't need a fire
Because the sun had left the night warm

Yeah
The stars kept talking
And some of them swore

I could hear them whispering
About the beaten shore

They didn't like the noise it made
When the waves pounded on her floor

I asked them why it mattered
When they are so far

They said they wanted peace
And quiet

Instead of war

Behold the hope
At the end of your dreams rope

I can see it
Hanging by its throat

It's dangling on the thread
                 You tried to sew

But if it hasn't broke
You still have time to hope

Because you never know

You could be saved
      By the unknown

And if you can't
              Hold on

Maybe you should let go...

And fall into

Stay Gold
JaxSpade Sep 2019
Stay gold
Mandarin sunset
        Silver moon
What have you
thoughts
About each avenue
Dry those sweaty palms
And cry me a smile
I've been lookin in your eyes too long
        Through the cracks in my mirror
My friend
Remember how you loved
                          The ocean
How you loved the river
And the graffiti sky
Why did you leave us
                   Goodbyes
And a somber universe
Tears mundane
In your lulliby
Under those headphones
Beneath the bricks
What did you scribble
In those notebooks
Sharon Van Etten played
And you brushed your locks
The stage lit
              You looked
Such a shooting star
Emerald heart
               Under the rot
Why did you leave me
With the look of silence
When you talked to yourself
                          I heard quiet
In that broken mirror
It was your halo
Fallen on fear
          My own
Remember how you remembered
The earth in all its dirt
And the way water formed
                     Thirst
You were so hungry
Yet such a meloncholy
        Diet
. Mr you never understood   
How to calculate old
                  Stay gold

Those fast fast
Cars
Naked candy
Those sweet scars
Remember how you loved
                  The intimate air
And how you used to breath in error
How you loved champagne
Spilled on a yellow dress
                    Kissing tears
Those mornings that never came
Until the night
My shattered mirror
The way you looked in every piece
   Scattered
Everywhere
Sharon Van Etton played
Her voice stared
Deep in your pupils
        My hazel wear
Remember how you used to laugh
And people heard
How you loved nature
     But you didn't here
Why did you leave us
All these pictures
Only albums could hold
                          Frames
Smothered in accordions
Why did you leave us
Oh-
Stay gold

The Diary Of A Sextant
JaxSpade Sep 2019
The same old constellations
Hanging in the sky

The same old noose
Beckoning tight

The squeeze
       The night
Flickering twinkles
         Up to my knife

My neck
Slides across the edge
As my breath dies
Spinning upside
In the galaxies head
I see stars kite

But I'm running out of time

      The end
Is nigh
In the blackened sky
Where the constellations
Hang their bright

The same old constellations
Used in navigation
Hang on the noose of life

These celestial bodies hang
As I dangle mine

see the pattern here
JaxSpade Sep 2019
The minutes passed
through the windows draft
I felt the breeze pass
across my face
Into my path

60 of seconds
60 of minutes
Sick to my stomach
As hours diminished


An anvil crashed
On my cerebral cortex
And I vomited a vortex
Of months in accordance
With another year

The pattern
Each way I move my steps
Retrace where the last one went
A circle-less circle
Following my lead
Following me to repeat
The same thing over again

I asleep I awake
The sun replays the same day
Adding to my age

The pattern
The same me
In different scenarios scattered
And nothing of it matters
To my current being

Material items accumulate
Even though the only thing
I take
is my soul

Bound to a heaven
Or punished to a hell
I'm painted into my patterns
Desire to free will

Walking through His story
He molded a man
Unworthy of His glory

To follow a pattern
Of matters
in space time and matter

A circle-less circle of manners
Repeated in gestures for each culture
Of his habits

The minutes passed
Then the day grasped
The ends faceless mask

When the recognition of pattern
Proves our geometrical figure
To the sum of Master
Sinner

We will then begin to learn
What was asked
And why we kept repeating
The same disasters
In every act of our


Pattern

Stars in my Eyes

I was there in the starlight
Shining on our campfire
When she asked me mister
What are you looking for
A shooting star
Or a girl
Are Your gazes
For constellations
Or something more
I was there in the starlight
Her eyes were twinkling so bright
But I was looking for
A shooting star

Luck Of The Draw
JaxSpade Sep 2019
I couldn't draw luck
Perhaps I'd do better with a gun
If I could draw it faster
And fire away

(I couldn't draw luck
The result was the action
Of the opposite disaster
In losing it)

What could I draw
If it wasn't luck
What could I fire away
Back at the enemy

I couldn't draw luck
My gun was faster

If we're goin and wildin
Here's my ante

Every one has their gamble
Have you paid the risk
What did you give up
For what you wished

I couldn't draw luck
But i wanted to win

I was so bold

I've got some spare change
Could you spare some change
Could you spare a change and give some

Coins in your pockets
Rattling around dripping
From your dollars droplets
Could you spare the sum

For somebody out there
Less fortunate

I've got some spare change
Could you spare some change
Could you spare a change and give some

I know you've worked hard
But could you spare something
For someone who wasn't as lucky
As you were

Just a few coins in your pocket
I swear I'm not a ***
I'm working, its just that
I don't make enough

I heard you say
You've got some spare change
Could you spare some change
Could you spare a change and give some

The Poetic Hills
JaxSpade Aug 2019
The hills came crashing down
Like a wave of rabid dogs

Gnashing and clashing
Their chompers
Dripping blood on their claws

And there I was on tbe bottom
In the middle of it all
I didn't know what was happenin

As I got peeled off the floor

slaps..

in the face with some water
To wake me up..


  To
  Wake
         Me...

     Up


Oh the hills came crashing

They came crashing
Down

Like a tidal wave fallen
On the beaten shore
Every thang a disaster

Ripped apart

The hills came grappling
Wrestling with gravities
Extraordinary thwart


Pushing
Pulling
Torquing
In the core of the earth

And there I was laughing
Like a crazy man does

On the bottom of nasty
Left in the dust

Oh the hills came crashing
Like a waterfall

Like a river
Fallen down and smashing
On the rocks below

There I was gasping
For my lungs
On that beaten shore

When the hills came crashing
Right where I Stood

I was in the flotsam and jetsam
Ripped apart in the wood

On the bottom of the aftermath

Waking up...

Oh!
The hills came crashing
They came crashing down

They came and they slaughtered


And #@$!kt me up

Who came out for a swim

Arm in arm
Over

Waiting for the kiss

That would ever change
Me from what I was

To what she wished

As soon as I get home
I'm going to lay down and sleep

Begging for sleep

Running behind time
As it follows me

If I could detach my mind
From the way I'm
I wouldn't need any
Body
I wouldn't need any arms
Around a me
If I could separate the space
In time
I touch with mine
A face without eyes
I could see where I'm facing
If I could be blind
From the way I'm
I wouldn't need recognition
I wouldn't need to hide
I wouldn't need any body
For any one
If I could detach my mind
From the way I'm
I could be so free
And It wouldn't cost a thing
I wouldn't need a mirror
Or a scale to weigh my error
If I could disappear
You wouldn't know the way
I'm

Here

Laying on your breast
I can hear your heartbeat
Pumping blood

I feel your love
And the warmth of your flesh
Turning me on
Thumping hard
Holding me in your arms
Kissing my head
Pulling me tighter into your *******

I can hear your heartbeat
Banging my eardrums
And you're feeling so soft
Making me hard
And wanting you more

I feel your love
Making me kiss
The sweet in your lips
How could this ever be wrong

The pumping of your blood
The racing of pulse
Pulling me closer
Taking off your clothes

My head in your breast
Sipping on each carress
Tieing my tongue
All I can do is moan

I hear your sweet voice
Begging for more
Leading me on
I'm already in your soul
Thrusting as deep as I can go

We've lost control
And feels like everything we want
Even more than this world

Laying on your breast
I exhaust and hear your breaths
Catching up to your lungs

Against my cheeks
I feel the peak of your love
Rubbing against my tongue
Eating me up

I can hear your heartbeat
Singing our song
Holding your sweaty palms
I feel your love

And I don't ever want to let it go

Turning back
Your face
Smothered in glow
Holding on to your eyes
I couldn't let them go
I knew you'd break
My heart of a thousand pieces
And shatter the last fragments even more
But I just wanted one last kiss
To remember that loss we loved
I knew you'd cut my throat
But I couldn't live anyhow
When your breath left me gone
Turning back
They way you walk
In those heels
Make me remember
When I peeled off your dress
And you left them on
Holding on to your flesh
And the way you pressed
Against my gropes
Just one more kiss
Just one last hope
I know our chance was in the past
But I don't care anymore

Her Shadowy Figure
JaxSpade Aug 2019
Her onyx eyes
Danced around
In her atramentous dress

And she had jet black hair
That flowed in an ink
In the depths of the darkest black

Her crimson lips
Bled into the blackest pitch
And she spoke every word he wished

As she glowed in the whitest snow
She gave his flesh a kiss

He took off her dress in a tenebrous mist
And carresed her stygian breast

Then she made to him love
Without a color therof
In her caliginous body possessed

The mood
Played a fiddle

With the music of a violin

And the plucks of pizzicato

Before the moon cried
Her desperate eyes

For the sound of a cello

What would you desire
My hands kissing your back

What would you die for
My lips begging between your legs

If I could shake you
In goosebumps & throws

If I could make you an ******* rose

Under your nose

If I could love the flesh you grow

My beard scratching your breast
Your softness embedded in my bold

What could we be
If you wanted more

Empty
As my glass

Pour me some bourbon
Or a molly of sassafras

Brain my damage

It's already a hammer
Of grab and smash

Empty all my liquid
And take a bath

Douse yourself
In my cerebrospinal fluid

And crush

Work your fingers baby

             Knead my mind

Tie it into the naughty knots
Yours supplies

Empty
Fill me up

Feel me slip into the slide
Of your overflowing cup

      Quench my thirst
With the worst syrup

Allow me to get wasted

Let me take another sip
Cure me with fullness
      Of your lovely lips

Tie me to your tongue
Beat me in your heart

Work those fingers baby

I was a Wreck
JaxSpade Aug 2019
I crashed into the sunset
I was bent against the hues
You found me fallen against the clouds
And saw me crushed by the blues

I was wrecked

Smashed against the windsheild
In a pink and rose milieu
My heart had broke against the glass
And burned me hitherto

Out in the skies I pilot
I crashed into ultraviolet

And headed toward doom

I was spinning rapidly out of control
Until I pulled my parachute

I took in all the damage
What a beautiful view
I crashed into the sunset

But I landed on the moon

Sweet and sour juice
For all I needed
Was a little of your powder
To quench my thirst

Towards the warmth of your cuddle

Into the heat of your desire
Burn my heart
On the spark of twilight

Look unto the galaxies
Shooting their stars
Over our eyes

Glow with me under the moon
In the luminosity of love
And die in its tomb

Bury your soul
In mine too

We are one
If a number could sew
Two of us

In the garden
Of eating loves
Fruit

I'll discard the hardest

Out Of Shape
JaxSpade Aug 2019
The triangle ate himself into a circle
Because people told him he was too square
And they meant the informal definition
So he kept eating to change his shape
He added a few pounds that multiplied his weight
But that didn't help
He wanted to be wondrous
Why couldn't he have been a rhombus
Why couldn't he have been born into a parallelogram family
I saw him sulking in the fact he was half the diagram
I told him he needed to go on a diet
And strengthen himself  into a pyramid
And only then would his base be the foundation
Of the family
He has always wanted

This is Our Last Goodbye
JaxSpade Aug 2019
I see you huddled in darkness
Hiding away from the world

You've created a space
To crawl into an escape
Cloaked in an imaginary cold

I see you shivering
And shaking
With goose bumps
Gnawing at your soul

I couldn't peel you away
From the shadows
Or lift you from the floor

You were glued to the madness
That took over your control
And I saw you fall into the deepest
Darkest hole

Into that abyss
That consists of a never-ending fall

You tied a rope
Around your throat
With the hope
To end it all

And that was the last time
I saw you
Hanging
At the edge of the world

Letters formed in the vision of the world
They were an illusion of representation
As photons of light became electrochemical signals in the eye

The construction of the world unfolds
In a visual pathway through a neurological
Switchboard in our thalamus
Of interpretation in realitys time

We can switch on our functional magnetic resonance imaging machines
And see the rate of blood releasing oxygen
To the brains stream of life

This neuronal activity
Is a human ability
And our tendency to error is detected by
Our anterior cingulate cortex habitually

While our perceptual fragments fit together
And the prefrontal cortices flex their right
Words apear in the poets mirror
And we begin to see the flight of a bee around a pomegranate

We dream down the hole of a rabbit

You may develop Alice in wonderland syndrome
And the world becomes bigger than;
or the smallest planet

Words are a habit

Each pen drawing a quills magic
Hocus pocuses an abbra cadabbric

The focus is the lens binoculars
Telescopic under a microscopes optic

The neurons fire
And we just can't stop it

JaxSpade Aug 2019
Transformation

I saw a butterfly change back
Into a caterpillar

Anti metamorphosis
Was a backward mask
Of a record player

And all her colors
Faded back into a green exterior
I watched her inch forward
Noticing her wings would no longer carry her

And at that moment she knew she'd have to buy alot more shoes

I asked her why she changed back
Maybe she didn't like to fly
Or the way her colors portrayed her
perhaps

She said what is the difference
In what you're looking at
Do you not find beauty in each way I dress
Has it changed my laugh

But what about change
And what about
Growth I said

Then she replied that's exactly what I did

I changed by not changing at all
I didn't prefer the flight to the way I crawl

I fought nature with all my creature
To be myself

I am a caterpillar
Not a butterfly at all

Pulp Fiction
JaxSpade Jul 2019
The soft sounds of quiet
Whispers of elm and violet

I could only imagine
The smell of fires

And the look of flames
With their cotton skins
Crackling

Each pop tracing embers
Into the skies thought

The stars laughing at my art
Grasping for another color

I dip my pen in the water
And sink my thoughts in an otter
Only to find out
It was a muskrat

I've never seen one before now
They sure make beavers look much bigger
Than on TV

In all my gaze
I watched a steelhead pass by my bait
That beautiful red
Left me in moss
And silent breaths

And by the way
This isn't a poem

But I wrote it any way
As a reminder
Why words gather
Blackberries
And the way they pierce
The fingers poking
With their thorny vines
Leaving blood on poetry sites

All these thoughts on fire
The smoke dissipates
As the coals get hotter

Now the wood is almost gone
The melted frame of my bottle
Reminds me what is left

The emptiness of heat
The turning cold
And why you bothered to read
The scroll

Your welcome
Said thank you for coming
But there is one last warning

I can erase
Every word placed
Anything that says
What was written on my face

I can take away the metaphors
And close the opened doors
Of my minds endless complaints

I can delete
Every avenue and every street
Each and every word
That slips through my teeth

Every drop that drips from my ink
I can delete
Faster than you can think
Quicker than you can read
And evaluate my poetry
In what it lacks or needs

I can delete
The nature of this beast
Before it has a chance to eat
What my pen tried to feed

I have that freedom
To delete em
To trash them in a can
And leave em

I can delete
this plastic poem
And it just might
Self destruct at your feet
In your home

Perhaps you resent this
And the power of my emphasis

I can delete it all
While you question my mark
With exclamations
Inside my parentheses

I can delete it all
With no worries to fall
On the dead horse
Beaten once more

To a pulp

Drawing Crowds
JaxSpade Jul 2019
Drawing crowds
I'm the painter in the park
Where no one is around

I'm painting the trees
     In the silent sound

            And the breeze
Under the birds wings
         Is wondering
Where everbody is

I sat there brushing fades
                       And texures
In the nature of myself

   I stared at the canvas
And saw the big picture
                       With my signature
Insignificant to how it would sell

          Drawing crowds
The skinny of invisible
  Scribbled in spirals
Downward falling up

      I painted so equivocal
With an assidous passion
That oscillated
Back and forth

Yet I couldn't draw a crowd
      With faces homeostasis
In any need to stick around

    It appears it's ineluctable
I'm a fruit that's a vegetable
Someone planted in a wound
               That wouldn't sprout

   And I'm a cartoon
Animated in a cell
Of pomegranate and pale

                                I'm a hotel
Thats sleeps on the weekend
When everyone comes to town

I'm the street when your knees
       Fall and scrape the ground

                                  I am the crowd
Assembling at the foot of my doubt

I could never draw anything
              With a hope to help
              Anyone out
              Drawing crowds

Ice c o l d
JaxSpade Jul 2019
Smiles
Under the cherry moon

She gave him
Burgundy kisses
In an hour glass
Of ****

As the sands fell
On solicitude
The time ran
Like a lovers fool

The sun wouldn't rise
The blue wouldn't sky

And the ice was so cold

It never melted
When her eyes pelted
Their baby blues

There were smiles

Smiles
Under the cherry moon

They made love in the daffodils

There were no clouds
There was no loud
To rain on their mood

For the only sounds
They would allow
Were of sideburns
On perfume

And the ice was so cold

Rain
JaxSpade Jul 2019
Rain on my brain
In the sane plain
Of my framed pain
Pouring down on the pane
Of my window
Again

Disco Superfly
JaxSpade Jul 2019
I see colors
At the disco
With so many others
Eyes kaleidoscopic
With mirror *****
Reflecting lights
And rainbow optics
I slip slide away
In a collage of music
And disarray
I see colors
With ebullient others
Popping champagne
I'm dousing and drowning
In a crowd of party
Wondering if it all is just a dream
I see colors
Capricious and smothered
In a cacophony of sounds fecund
With laughter in a feeling
Of floating in outer space
What was I drinking
What did I take
I'm dancing in propinquity with blue unicorns and pink elephants while my temerity flickers
In glow sticks and bottles of tanqueray
I see colors
And geometrical shapes
I should have been absteimous
But I couldn't resist
The munificent veracity
Of entertainment begging for my daze
Oh I see colors
At the disco
With so many others
Improvident and care free
I'm having so much fun
And I don't ever want to leave
Or awake
What was I drinking
What did I take
I can't feel my face
I was wondering if this was heaven
Or if these clouds were fake
All these women crowding me
Which one is my mate
I see colors
In another state
With so many others
Trying to erase
Reality and everything it takes

Zombie Cake
JaxSpade Jul 2019
Falling apart
The distance between
Remains so large
The memories forget
What they were made for

That faint love that faded
Into replacements
That never fulfill
And it's all too late
To recover what was killed

The corspe of yesterdays
Left in the past images
Rotting in the brain

I call the zombies of the world
To feed on what's left
And I offer my heart
To add to the buffet

Apart from falling
My thoughts are telling me
It's ok

Everything they consumed
You gave

If there is a loss
It is theirs to lose
In the belly of their grave

They ate that distance
Like a triple layer cake
And when they finish devouring
That sugar
Their teeth will decay

For what they put in their mouths
Was a sweet talk
And now they have nothing to say

Falling
Apart

Together was not
Anything left on their plate

For they ate
And the only thing left
Is to digest
The waste

The Blue In Our Moon
JaxSpade Jul 2019
Blue moon
You used to be silver last June
You changed your color
And I wondered
If your lover left you

Why are you shining so blue
I think I already knew
Why you're so blue

My broken hearted moon
You were so bright last June
You changed your color
And I wondered
If your lover left you

Why are you shining so blue
I think I already knew
Why you're so blue

Moon

I just want you to know
I feel it too
JaxSpade Jul 2019
The sheep counted me
As I tried to sleep

I fell awake
Because my thoughts
Kept trying to think

Pills didn't help
They just made me weak

For insomnia came
And stole my dreams

Like a thief in the night
But the night stole me

It put me in a chair
And it tied me there

But I wasn't asleep

I was having a nightmare
And my sleep went walking

Then my imagination started talking
About how I could escape

But it was too late

The sheep became faint
As the count became great

And I missed work
Because I couldn't awake

% Of Inflation
JaxSpade Jul 2019
In my lap
Milk in a saucer
I'm the cat
That killed curiosity
Before it could attack

In my head
Board in my bed
Knocking against the walls
Nothing to do
But fall to sleep
I'd rather dream
Than fiend for something
That'll never be
In my hands

In my brain
My soul complains
It's trapped
In the flesh of my heart
Aches

It begs for a heaven
But hell if it knows
Where that is

In my end
It begins
To create
A lifes death
So it could live

I turn on the dark
So I could see the light
Switch

And the root of all money
Scratches my palms funny
For the price of evil
Only costs a man

David
JaxSpade Jul 2019
He came with sword
Sheild and spear

He came a giant
With hate and fear

He came with evil
In an armour
For fighting

But I came
With the Lord
     Almighty
