Our love's a desert
Hot in the day, cold at night
Our love's a desert
Barren and beautiful
Our love's a desert
Far and wide
Ever changing, yet the same
You're the oasis
I long for each day
I don’t chase money
or the empty promise of fame
I don’t need noise
or a crowd saying my name
I don’t need booze
Dont need pills in my veins
Or some hazy green smoke
To soften my pain at night
I just need your body
slow and steady with mine
no silver, no gold
not all that glitters will shine
just your love in the dark
The fire, the lust, all starts
with our spark
Me and crazy
in the forest again
we’re both in flight
Olive green beneath me
fast as light
I read the miles
like a word in my poems
Each turn a stanza
each climb a rhyme
I think in cadence
The bird and I aligned
Letting the road
write verses in my mind
I drop down the hills
half fearless, all free
Sun on my face
just Crazybird and me
I fly through the trees
where the shadows grow deep
Racing with deer
the trail our friend
Lost or not
I ride till the day dies
Then home through the lanes
with love in my eyes
She felt like tomorrow
unseen
the uncanniest woman
I’d ever seen
All white eyes
that saw too much
Her caress, my vice
I gasped for air
lost in her
Our bodies together
flesh on skin
skin on leather
leather on lace
lace on skin
skin on skin
Then the abyss
the void would move
the night would stay
She claimed her prize
then left me spent
Three minutes later
I rose again
blood on the floor
Now awake
my heart jumping
she got what she needed
Had me all
Through verse
rhyme and song
she took what’s hers
all night long..
There once was a poet
a predictable type, you know him
Who polished each line
till the rhythm was tight
He rhymed “moon” with “tune”
and “flame” with “name,”
Such talent, they thought..
But one day he woke at midday
with an incredible idea
What if… I don’t… rhyme?
What? No rhyme?
What if rhyme is a lie
and words can jus
wander off........again
like cats that refuse to be called?
Or a fish that rides a bike?
Or a bike thats a bird, that's crazy
So now his poems just sort of… happen
No tidy lines,No echo at the end
No smug little couplet
winking at itself
No more "fires of desire."
Sometimes a sentence just stops
mid…
And that’s it
Just sto....
It’s unsettling..
People used to clap at the neatness
the symmetry
the oh so clever “night” with “light,”
and the “death” with “breath.”
What talent...
Now it’s just vibes
Fragments
Yet
Sometimes
Just sometimes
Now and then..
Late at night
I whisper “pain…”
Wait …
just in case “rain”
Arrives again
One was black, darker than night
The two were white, lighter than ghosts
Milo, the Angel, came first
Stray, hunter, beauty
living out front, unwanted by all
except for me...Now he’s inside
and the world feels safe
One wasn’t enough
so the Devils came next
Snow white coats, sharp as pain
Nandor the Relentless
quicker than you
Laszlo, glorious ruler of all
Together they’re three
one strange mystery
They call her fat
her frame too thick
They say she’s slow
but they don’t know...her..
Olive green, wheel trims black
As the crow that follows
catching sunlight in silver...sparks
She moves with a pace
that doesn’t ask why
At full speed she feels unreal
a lift, a bump, fly in the...air
a moment where the world falls still
Fast or steady
she leads because shes crazy....bird..
Among the trees
she owns the ground around her
Heavy in body
yet precise in every...turn
The winding paths belong to her
No other wheels have ever...flown
Where Crazybird is queen alone
Hey babe, why you still here?
You write a song and put me in it
Then you dance into the night
You left your lipstick once again
The tang of your perfume still in the air
I'm in your verses, but not your bed
Now I'm lost in what we made
Why'd you skip in and out of my life?
Painted my night in a pink leather haze?
You rhymed the truth I couldn't see
Then faded away like memory
Hey, you, is this true?
Was I a lucid dream to you?
Watch for you in every scene
Still hearing you in every sigh
Oh, sweet girl, why'd you lie?
When the storm beats
Don’t curse the sky
Become the thunder
Dont ask why
When the rain falls
Let it be...
Become the river
Or the endless sea
When the dark comes
Don't fear the night
Become the fire
Become the light
If the void arrives
Don’t try to flee
Become the abyss
Set yourself free
To my latest wild obsession
Your body's a feral confession
My mind's a mess, worlds collide
You're wild like a river I can’t hide
Gazing into those deep green eyes
I still can’t tell truth from lies
I’m not ready for what you’ll do
As I surrender, falling for you
Felt you close, I lost control
You stole my heart, I lose my soul
Time runs slow, with you it flew
And every day it's always you
We drink the chaos, taste the night
Red wine, stars, and candlelight
Your bare skin and a pale blue moon
My love, lust, my flower in bloom
No dawn, no dusk, no breaking free
Just silver chains you wrap me in
We kiss, we burn, we never sleep
Our love's a drug we'll die to keep
They call me jester
Lover, thief
but I’m just me
Without belief
My ghosts still haunt
her voice, her breath
love and hate
both feel like death
She follows me
always at night
her scent, her kiss
her dying light
I’ll rhyme her name
In verse and flame
for love’s my muse
The sweetest game
Dark
Heartbreaker
Midnight faker
Grin like sin
Backstreet bruiser
Love abuser
Keep your kiss
I don’t need the loser
Stay outta my bed
Outta my head
Touch my soul
I’ll rise from the dead
If that’s your love
I’ll take pain instead
The sun comes up
on another fight
The same old dance
we did last night
You're throwing flowers
and roses and rings
While the broken heart
in the corner sings
I'm lured to you
and I'm losing track
Between the kiss and
the knife in my back
It's a honey trap
and a golden cage
The same old ink
on a rhyming page
I say I'm leaving
I've had my fill
But the scent of
roses breaks my will
It's a beautiful wreck
and a flowering war
I can't remember
what we're fighting for
It's the oldest trick
the same old thing
Got me playing a game
Called roses and rings
Whatever it is
I was bound to lose
When roses and rings
are the weapons you use
I am the dark, I wear no flame
I am the light, I own no name
I shook the sky till angels fell
I heard the bats out of hell
I struck at destiny just for fun
I laughed at fate and made it run
If heaven calls me, tries to play
I charge it rent for night and day
I am the earth and the stone
I am the verse, I rhyme alone
Your pulse, a lie I long to hear
I taste your life, your fear, your fire
Each gasp and shiver feeds desire
I own your body, your blood, your heart
No dawn can sever, no light can tame
I am your fever, your twisted flame
I trace your neck, I drink your desire
A twisted devotion, a hellish fire
In every wound, in every kiss
We drown in need for eternal bliss
Your life, your blood, your every breath
Belongs to me beyond all death
She rose from our coffin
with blood on her grin
a hunger unspoken
still pulling me in
nails like knives
run down my spine
a curse and a blessing
that felt so alive
I gave her my heart
no will left to fight
now in her chest
it beats through the night
She sleeps like a queen
by shadows I'm led
a curious trade
for now I'm undead
She tore my heart to watch me bleed
A crimson bloom from poisoned seed
Her words were silk, but dripped with lies
A serpent hid behind her eyes
I begged for light, she gave me night
Her love, a knife that kissed with spite
Back off
Back off
Pity’s a lie
Counting the tears
While the years go by
back off
Burn in the ditch
I’m done with the curse
Back off, bitch
