Junkyards are cemeteries too
they're just the ones no one brings flowers to
or visits after they've said goodbye
and they are filled to the brim
with forgotten wheels and empty bodies
and I am sick of these wheelbarrow operations
and the way the mice eyes sparkle
as they wait by the mailboxes
that don't even belong to them
for love letters from the cats that will never come
because when she said "I love you"
it was a junkyard kind of goodbye that she meant

I was always wrong.
Never been right for anyone.
And then you told me this words;
"Let me just stare at you
And your soul
Quite tainted
But still wonderfully crafted"

You gave me hope
You told me that I am right for you
And you are hoping that you're right for me

*But where are you now, My dear~

I remember the day you said,
"Ah, yours is a familiar face."
It was summer,
we were ripe.
I drew yours in many lines.
That look littered all of my books-
and burned scars into my mind.
Now some time,
and it's bitter cold.
Yours has become lost and old.
I try to pull the lines together
every single chilly night.
I look at the photos I have left
and I still can't get it right.
Her face keeps blocking my view.
She has come and taken you.
Ah, yours was a familiar face.
But now it's all but a trace.
Color me with all the colors of the skies,
Show me all the secrets that you wish to hide.
Lead me down the paths long forgotten,
Promise me that you will see only me in your life.

Color me with boldness of the sun,
Give me shadows like the moon.
Kiss me till I shine brighter than any star;
Love me until you have painted me in your color.

Show me how you mix wisdom;
Touch my body with the same careful strokes.
Give me eyes dark as night,
If forever I shall be in your sight.

Rainbow, sacred rainbow,
Never break your promise to me.
For the day that you would leave,
I know these colors would no longer be.

I don't know what's worse
Coming face to face
With the thing you fear most
Or never seeing it
But knowing that it's there

. . .
Having this sight as I lay in dim light, and as I stare in the distance, pitch darkness is what's seen

i want the feeling
the press and the weight and the grip and the fingernails;
the hair and the burn, the neck and the throat;
the gaze and the tears, the lips, the mouth, the spit
the tongue and the teeth (the fangs
and the bite);
the kiss and the lick, the grinding, the pushing and the
circles of the hips,
the fat of the thighs and the brush of the ankles;
i want the liquid and the hard, the sticky and the sore,
the pain and the sting and the ecstasy of the pleasure;
i want the eye rolls and the sighs and
the gasps and the moans and the screams and the whispers;
i want the banging of the bones and the rubbing of the skin,
the crashing of the waves, the rumble of the storm and the
hissing of the breeze.
i want to meld the two of us together until we become a thousand,
and to never cease sipping on this wine of heedless madness
that we blindly drown in.
