Screaming Heart
There's only one thing,
you never knew it
When I felt you inside me,
my heart was screaming, your mind
was possessed with the
mere sight of me
And here's one more thing,
you never heard it but
I love you and lying
under the stars I knew I'd never
be far away from your heart
and I adored you
To add to the list,
you held me closely
Sometimes I'd feel your
heart beat and the pound of your chest
and the sweat on my breast
I knew this was making love
I'm so tired of this silence,
of the steady rythym of your quiet breaths
beside mine
Honey, let me wallow in my dispair
My darling, let my thoughts wander
with out destination
The innocence has left my steady gaze,
yet I am naive compared to
tomorrow's child
Let me understand the sweet nothings
whispered in my ear
While the last days of September fall
beneath my feet
I kiss the days away, the redness on my wall
Only miles separate us and
this lingering
September
Little puddles of fantasy
slide down my throat,
burning, shaking me from the inside out
Let me see your powers
excercised, for I do not wish to think
tonight at all
Escape with me to this
surreal place of inverted bliss
and oblivion
tonight, my friend
tonight we will drink
It seems as though I'll let it go
and then the world
will fade away
Once upon a time I sat
and found that tomorrow is
another day
I understand the reason why
I love everything about
your silly ways
It's cause the simple love
is like a song you listen to
over
and over
again.
Let me say it again
Let me stay
I don't want to go away,
fade away,
let me stay
Did you see the man you shot today?
Did you look into his eyes
And see his hopes and his dreams?
Outside my reach, he hangs, suspended in air
I try to fight it, but it's still there
The man is still hanging
And my mind is still hollow
So far above me a rope dangles,
Withholding the fragile cords
Of my bruised neck
My figure is still there
And soul are absent from
Within my empty thoughts
The ground beneath me will slowly give way
To the mysteries of my mind
And still flames flicker in my bewildered head
While demons lurk within a childs bed.
quivering voices in crowded corners.
echos from dreams taken by you.
empty eyes, crying, silently begging.
heart-beats paused because the sun exploded.
hurling waves of fire headed directly for
you, your mother, her babies dying all around,
beside,below and above you.
irish flutes play, calming you,
the bubbles rise above your head.
beliefs are fading, losing strength,
heads are hanging...because the sun exploded.
spinning, whirling waves of fire, coming,
barely missing you, your mother, her babies dying all around,
beside,below and above you.
tippling champagne, you laugh and dance.
bruised and calised are my feet.
wrapped in sheets, old, gray, and frayed.
you die strangled in silk blankets.
you ignored us when the sun went out.
you missed it when the sun exploded.
throwing angels golden,prayers will be answered.
your mother, her babies, caught by the ropes
around, beside, below and above you.
hold on. their worlds are crashing because
the sun exploded.
Time slid down my throat like
syrup and I swallowed it like
child would a sweet candy
I felt it disperse itself within
my veins and awaken my most
dulled senses
Like an animal caged within
metal bars, I rise and fall
in a menaingless orb inside
myself
Slight whispers of past voices
echo inside my mind, the innocence,
the tears, the laughter
I could almost taste the tension,
it's sweet anxieties like grains
of sugar upon my tongue
Licking my lips and savoring the
remnants of all that was, a
taste, a smell, a voice, a heartbeat, and
a sunrise still linger upon
the canvas of my mind.
