Waiting for light.

Should I fight or
sympathize.
Your influence is
all-enveloping.
Even the pictures
transmit that vibe.

Son of a whore
you are the one.
What are you really?
Speak louder,
only the boring ones will
turn their heads and run.
(Who cares about them.)

What are you afraid of
at this point.
Heaven opened its gates
long ago,
hurriedly an angel flew
his eyes fixed on you.

There’s no giving up
whatever you think is right.
We are all burning alive and
there’re no precedents.
Made up, wore out,
leads nowhere but the infinite.

Time to tell a story
make it your own.
Don’t think too much anymore
present it to the altar,
the only way to treat
festering wounds.

Melancholy is quaint and
useful to all art forms.
If you go nuclear
we are ready to download the software.
No worries, it’s only temporary
the sacrifice was made yesterday.

Rise up, it’s never too late.
Every minute a new universe dances
to a brand new rave.
We are never here for ourselves
but looking for the end,
and it will come sweeter than it has ever been.

Baby.

All my little girls,
listen,
I knew a real man,
once.

Who showed me my proper
place.
Then he ran away
when he saw..

It.

They have him
now.
Like they will always
have me.

Leaving no trace of the
tenderness.
It swallows and spits.

Where are you
now?
How should I
find you?

Weep-beg-weep
to no avail.

He showed me
my place.
Then he left me
without.

The perfect execution.
The ultimate rejection.

That’s how he showed
me

my place.

Are you safe:

Step step
pause for a
cigarette
kindly stretching
the made up
moment
effect apparent.

No applause
darkness can’t
respond
too close
to death
breath
withheld.

Neatly slain
with hope
for
entertainment
scented with
love
more for sale.

Light on me
prayer on you
fits you well
final dance
is mine
swirl stir
home home again.

State of grace.

I have forgotten your name,
I think you must have forgotten mine.
This world between us
darkness and chaos after the brilliant light.

Never thought how cold I would feel,
after the spirit had left and I stood still.
Time and time again I call for you,
broken, you have left me for real.

I don’t hear your cry anymore,
not above the screams of my anger.
Cussing you for showing me the things that you did,
now they are just mirages, glasses in my throat.

How to go on without the piece of me
that you have brought along.
There’s no longer recognition,
strangers with forsaken tougues.

Saying these words,
living this life,
everything that I do
I can’t deny it.

It takes me back,
back to the gate,
with all that I know,
still, there’s no turning away.

Far from grace,
call it a home.
There’s a piece of you inside me,
a permanent wound.

The pain and emptiness
are there for a reason.
In a state of grace,
I know each and every road I’ve taken.
