In a state of disrepair...

0 posted 2006-08-07 01:49 PM


I seize remorse
by the throat
choke it to death,
water the ashes
until nothing is left.

While Demeter dreams,
she sleeps to forget
but I know no gods
I just drown my regret.

Images dance. I feel
half awed and half stressed.
Dreams become real
and moments are stretched.

For this lover inflicts;
Empty and awful bliss.
True love with no way out.
A soft void lacking doubt.

When emptiness wears off
and nothing else remains
depression saunters back
and she brings some friends.

Sweating out your thirst
and caving in your mind.
So scared to die at first,
then wishing that you would.

Strangles all your limbs
and vomits out your life,
until nothing seems to dim
the burning in your veins.

It seized my being
by the throat
choked me to death,
watered my wishes
until nothing was left.

Listen to me because
it's all that I've got;
break for the hills
and run till you drop,
there's never an answer
in a Papaver crop.

whew, made me shiver with that dance
but what beautiful enticing blossoms
