Truth
May 27, 2008

I'm swimming in dark stars with the rubble

Endless seas shake and I tremble, but firelight doesn't quaver; the weeping seer is blind and forgets how to speak
In the dawn the child remembers

Disconnected prophecies meet soulfelt lamentations; confuse those eyes of wonder
Who can tell the lover to leap?

He will build a fortress and tear down temples, acolytes bring sacrifices
The blood is never enough if it is always the wrong blood
Walk the road of suffering and you will find you have soft feet, stroll an easy path and your heart seems strong
Don't let your lifebeat go out with the Summer

Strum the harp and slice the wrist, but it won't drown your demons
Why can't the preachers hear the truth?  



You are Desire
January 15, 2008

Fire
I am so fascinated by your elusive glitter
I can tame you, but I cannot catch you
I cannot keep you, but I can beat you
The taint of smoke is like fresh air
And dancing shadows become first dawn's light
Doused embers become as important as fading pleasure

The dark whorls of your colourful dance
Remind me of the crimson, cyan, and ochre
  steps and terraces in the gallery of Sheol
Where someday, I shall take you to dance with me

Your eyes are like coals that crush
Into diamond when you are angry
Glitter, glitter, burn

The blue of shadows and the black of ashes
Reminds me of bruises in a forgotten curve
And red tongues of flame remind me of
   biting dragons and caresses that burn

Your smile is like the dark laugh of
a devil when you are happy
Glitter, glitter, burn

Fire
You are desire  


Integrity
April 30, 2007

Face it, scribe, it wasn't meant to be
It's a matter of integrity

The Oathbreaker
You are the promise-maker
Of your deceit, you promised an acre

Face it, girl, it wasn't meant to be
It's a matter of honesty

Note how you feel
Now that you finally reveal
What you really are, not keeping your deal

Face it, child, it wasn't meant to be
It's a matter of no mercy
