flicker the flame
two days, so much pain
not for the faint, they say
i walk, listen
lyrics, the kitchen
my moves, your prison
no intuition
the prism, you play
i lay, listen for the day
waves, the ocean
the season, watch it stiffen
left in such a condition
a magician with no vision
read the words i’ve written
the story i sung
but a musician knows no system
except for words you say
how you glisten
and the last song
you ever played
thinking of you
i lie, i breathe
sitting in a world
buzzin’ around
just me, myself and my frown
wearing your crown
so handsome, hold to ransom
i’ll do anything and everything
i dream, it’s cold
i’m still froze
i drop, pray i could stop
but you got the bomb
wipe my tears
the new guy
is his name rob?
black and blue
red and yellow
i stand, here within
over my shoulder
i gander, ponder
flinch at thunder
sing at lightning
lust for something
yellow meets black
lost track, off the trail, hoping
somewhere, someday we’ll meet
you’ll catch and remember
everything you ever said
promises
two horses
meet like we did
providence
protecting you
giving you confidence
another coincidence
the distance, the instant
my face, your aura
your existence
thank you
came late
you appeared
the spandex, the red
the words you never said
it’s brand new, but it’s not you
i watch, think
so many thoughts
can i take you to dinner?
no beginner
i’m just a sinner
i’ve been here
stroked someone with your hair
watched them disappear
thin air
now i’m here
standing imminent
taste your neck, like cinnamon
the vision, my kitchen
but is this one a gentleman?
tips i touch, we transcend
but our souls, they matched
flicker my cigarette
pass my meth
i lust, i loved
your skin, my mouth
i dove, stroked the red
increased the risk
his, all i knew
the queue
the same song
my blues
you, without dues
stroke my muse
flicker my cigarette
one last breath
before i transcend
this
this is the end
move my legs
tap into you
we move, i move
i take you
the wall
your face, so blue
i know, it hurts
lift up your shirt
but stop
your eyes
a story beneath
use my teeth
let go
wipe the sweat
fingers through your hair
rather slow
but i know
i should go
beyond handsome
scrub the walls of my mansion
so alluring, i ponder
my wonderment left me burnt
was it because we weren’t?
i stall, slap, hope, draw
the conclusions
all the illusions
there i stood, blushing
damn-
if only we were something
other than a burnt dissolution
from time called “nothing”
love you, indefinitely
hate you, occasionally
till death, i lust for your love
look at the sky, the dove
a strangers eye
so high, surprised i didn’t die
i laugh, still cry
deny and swipe the fly
look from the outside
left inspired with such a desire
wired and tired
now exhausted, haunted
and sadly
unwanted
