where the wild flowers grow

Sleepless beast
shed thy mortal coil,
bear to me your fangs..
show me your savage claw.

Rise, your poison stench,
touch my lungs
seep into me your death.

You foul creature who
tortures the night..
I do not writhe in pain
as you've hoped..
I have endured the draw of
my blood,
survived without a beating heart.
I am not your sacrifice,
but a lover
to the oldest soul in the
universe..

In tragic dismay, my screams
be your music..my tears
your source of refreshment.
My flesh, your end to hunger.
So I may regenerate,
to bring you an evil pleasure.

You devil,
must your soul continue to
dwell within.
I have no pain, as I am
your pet.
in feeble minds, a
slave to your evil.

And they trust not your breathing
of fire, though it embraces a
morbid warmth.
We faint not toward existance.

Tainted beast,
I be your faulty wick.
A wax sculpture for you to pick
apart and recreate as you wish.
So tender, a love that bleeds for you..
Though under hides
the demon.

Fabulous images, I can see the spiral down.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

To which the demon responds,
child, you do not know
the weight of wings,
the discrepancy
of dead shadow
plays.

(duet, duet!)

(duet, duet! (?))

Imagine, if you will,
for a moment the boundless error of heaven.
The similarity it has to the
flakes of fire in hell.
Trust not the idea of good, or evil..
but that of another word with four letters,
love..devotional, and true..
bearing the pain.

A wing's twitch is a candle flame
brazen, glowing, in the night.
A fire brought in little tears
that drip from wax forlornly.

You do not understand the weight
of burning, broken, furling wings.
The sky is covered by small lights
that burn without reminder.

And touching darkness,
you fly above a sky painted with stars.
Your eyes twitch in mid-blink,
and I do not comprehend.
In your arms I held dry tears,
my mind seizures in growth.
Imploding flower, you are
shaking with the fever of cold.

From the tongue
of one so young
drips an empty promise,
sealed by
inexperience
and the waste to wait.

From the claws
of one so old
lies an empty keeping,
sealed by
bloodless wax
and the urge to change.

Crawling from old chains,
two clouds across the sky.

And the angel said unto me, "These are the cries of the carrots, the cries of the carrots!"

We are bound
by impurity..
By sin and imprisoned by wick.
We melt
into one being.
We conclude with sparse light,
painful kisses ..
become the sky.

Touch the fire,
melt oh,
melt with me.

To cinders,
and relapse.

(I end it this time, M)

Breathe my beast,
breathe my scent of ash..my plague,
accept my pity and your fate.
Inhale the pollen of mourners,
at war with death.
Feast upon wretchedness,
worship no longer this sky..
Become aware,
there are no stars.

(big hugggssssssss) Yes, strike that demon and let its disguise fall away and the light seep in through its eyes and make a baptizing of it! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Meghan, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
