never was or in between almost
and here on paths of worn leather
and jeans left in the corners standing
almost on their own
with bass drums from hell and guitars from heaven
lightning away
we went to together a dream
a wondered place of blacklight and innocence we
really never had or tasted sweet like
in a rush to maturity
we ran on all fours
drooling about doors and
Zeppelin and emerged
kind of.
Ten Years After.

Can you hear it ?
Can you hear it ?
The mermaids
whispering secrets
to the shells found in
the red sea. They don't
have flowers in their
hair. All they do all day
is laugh without a care
with pink clam shells
surrounding them
everywhere. Seaweed
wrapped around their
necks looking prettier
than diamonds and stone
gems. Can you hear
them from the distance
over there upon the
coral reefs. Sitting
and singing in peace.
If you hear them would
you tell me please* ~
His fire keeps her
body warm in this
cold winter snow.
His fire chases her
bad dreams away
during the middle
of the day. His love
however stitched her
wounds from the nasty
words that her fake
friends and family used
to say.  His burning
flames keep her safe
especially when the
time is late and after
midnight. His fire will
forever be her favorite
craving and desire.* ~

*For they make a sound
like no other, sweeter and
softer than any lover. Among-st
those timeless whispering
waves, spirits so free, that we
all desire to be. Unleashed from
lives that hold them as slaves.
Free, free, so, so, leave them be

Strip it off
strip it off.
Strip the flesh
from the bone .
Just make sure you
leave her wings
hanging on.
Take her to your
home. Hold her
in your dazzling arms
protect her from
all kinds of harms.
Warm her up with your
flames. This love feels
so **** right.
Be the gold that
God didn't take.
Let your love make
the constellations
under her skin
shine bright with
all their might causing
her body to glow
and shake. Be
her shadow in the
middle of the day
and scare away
the ravens and crows
that fallow her wherever
she goes. Tell her
darling that you'll be
stripping off her clothes
tonight* ~
Lyrical love.
Sent from above.
Could I be in heaven?
No, it's 20 to seven.
Still in bed,
can't get it through my head.
Wake up, get up!
Time to emerge,
and feel that surge.
They tell me,
it's the beauty of life!
We live and struggle,
to endure this strife.
My heads in a muddle.
The words are flowing,
But girl, I'm in trouble.
At the intersection,
Losing my direction

Grab onto my hand.
I’ll take you out of this
rubble and trouble.
We’ll live in our own
bubble. Off off and away
we’ll go to wonderland.
Where the fairies fly and
cast spells with their magical
wands and watch the black
swans. While they sit and
dangle their tiny feet in ponds
and sing all kinds of happy
songs. Grab on to my hand
and watch the lilacs float away
as the cool breeze moves them
up and down upon the crystal
clear waters.
So wake up, get up we have no
time to waste we have dreams and
butterflies that are waiting to be
chased. And cigarette smokes to
be blown up up and away at the
end of the day. Grab onto my hand
and ill show you the beauty of life
and this wonderland
.

Girl, girl take me away.
yearn to live for another day.
These crazy dreams,
I can't believe .
Can it be real?
Acquisition, proposition, definition of an unattainable life.
It's never enough.
But, one look in your eye,
and I dismiss all the tough,
existence I see.
That ravages my mind,
never letting me be.
I take your hand,
so tall we stand.
This world we see,
has destiny.
Some say is written,
but **** it hurts!
Like I've just been bitten.
Ambiguous grey clouds,
need to push through.
To puff away the moments
that hold me so blue.
I waited for love,
from heavens above.
I'm an only planet
which orbits your sun.
I feed off your warm energy,
photosynthesis of heart and mind.
Our bodies in turn,
reach out and burn.
The chlorophyll I make,
will never break,
on this leaf of life
we share

She has ink dripping
from her lips. He blames
that on the poetry she
drinks after each and
every kiss she gives to
him on his cheeks and
ribs. Sometimes in his
mouth as she claims that
it's her cathedral and the
only place where she
confesses all of her darkest
sins. He sends kisses down
her spine. As if it holds the
knobs to the doors of her
fragile broken soul. Hoping
that each kiss will lead him
in. This is the story of where
their new life begins. There
tangled in the sheets of his
warm cozy bed. And that was
the moment when they both
paused and said the best is yet
to come. And our young love
will live on and on* ~
A boy who got along
and played with the
voices and demons
locked up in her head.
He played the violin in
such a way to shut them
up and make them go
early to bed. A boy who
looks at her as if she's
diamonds and gold. That's
the boy her heart told
her to fall hard for. The
boy who looks like
precious gem stones and
prettier than all kings
on their fancy thrones.
The boy who knew how
to love her skin and bones.
Her boy*  ~
