Void Light’s Tale

synchronicity of thoughtstreams, shadow and colors merge, emerge,

float as one beneath

realigning Sun 

Old enemy a friend in waiting – whispers peace within, if I will but listen.

Still running, silent screams, beating my breast from inside,

re-breaking, re-breaking a heart so shattered,

not to reset but to bleed into riotous sea

and then, she croons: “yes, reset, remember

with new respect for who you have always been but feared to believe.”

This ally silently screaming within my deepest heart, my darkest dreams

“Listen, love, revere this wild child who laughs at whirlwinds and dances

to changing, challenging melodies.

Sing along free from inhibition or self-mockery.

This is our time, yours and mine, to be wonderfilled.”

Glory

You want to blaze angry

I get it

Rage feels so much more potent

than misery

Feed that flame with every creature

that blame gets scaped on, make they’re

sacrifice part of your armor,

your Honor but a pallid façade

Burn through your better dreams,

childish schemes seem so endearing

if they include horrid screams, blood and pain

if they will rain incendiary death

as you explode your final fiery breath

Play Date

She was a spritely faun,

a bright red balloon,

pink and peppermint ribbons

tailed like a kite.

She flew into whatever held the room —

a rage,

a whirlwind,

astute blue skies.

I met her that night of mandolins,

a mannequin,

a ruined man.

She gave me blazing sights,

intrepid laughs,

tinkling tingling tarot touch.

We flew on clouds of ambergris

raining absinthe

absorbed in love.

I’ve not these thousands days

seen her again,

but now and then

encrypted in a crowded face.

She ran into some random world,

a rapid roil,

a separate place.

I fell into a sickly bed,

a crippling crowd,

a narrow lane edging,

draining into receding streets.

Gemini Eyes – Phase I

You hurtled me into a faithless dream

All my demons I’d thought I’d quietened

Sent my thoughts down a lustful stream of music, rhythm

Gemini eyes speak of treacherous love

and I’ll never win

Gemini eyes lie, promise devotion,

and I’m caught again

How can I hold you?

The time was weak, my body hurting

It’s a time I’m sure the years will soften

You offered all I wanted to need and I wanted

Your Gemini eyes to talk to me of love,

and I’ll never win

Gemini eyes, please answer mine with love

Oh, I’m caught again

and I just want to hold you

and let the passion melt my tears

Tear the demons of all my fears

Tear me to destruction, Gemini eyes,

cause I’ll never win

Your Gemini eyes got me caught again.

Please let me hold you.
