flickering memories

Images in the fire

Flickering in flames

Reflecting memories

Cause the colour

Of my skin

Rejected by pretenders

Turn your back on me

Reflections in the flames

Mothers keeping score

The damage I have done

I feel their anger

The hate drips off

Another stranger

In the dark

Burning in the flickering light

Reflecting mirror

Images dancing in the flames

Turn your back

Rejected by pretenders

The pain is real

No plans for the future

Watch the flames devour

Flickering moon light

A stranger looks back

Who did I think I was

Flickering in the flames

Memories and no meaning

into the darkness

Driving into darkness

The life I thought I had

Nobody from nowhere

Meaning nothing to no one

Leaving nothing but shadows

Just another sunset

The footsteps on my soul

Every rain drop

A little regard

Washed away

The fire burns out

Tomorrow to late

god invented it

Lust and spite
gifts from heaven
God invented revenge
Digging holes in a rose garden
Between the rain and sunshine
Apples rotting in the sun
The serpentine in you
hiding in the shade
Stealing all the joy

Cotton Candi shaking like a stripper
That's gods work too
Got a lock on desire

Paradox of free choice
The refuge of cowards
Planting trees in a rose garden
Between the rain and sunshine
It's the only thing I know
Joy leaks from the soul
Karma has decisions to make
The sun shines bright
As the lighting strikes

Cotton Candi shakes like a stripper
Doing gods work
Got a lock on desire

Watching all the agony
Like a Priest at confessional
The water rains down
Mocking death drowning
Cleansing the soul
All the people
Revenge in their heart
Hope in their minds
Karma smiles meekly

Cotton Candi shakes like a stripper
Doing gods work
Got a lock on desire

I lay my head down

The best slow death
Waking up in that cold sweat
Wondering where I have been
The cancer eating me
From the inside out
The cloudy haze only dulls
The quick witted
Blending night and day
Part of me never letting go
Another part gave up long ago
I lay my head and close my eyes
A dream without sorrow
Life does  not care
If you are happy or sad
If you have made good choices or bad
Life is the best leukemia to have
Searching for perfection well spent
Searching for the unattainable
A happiness gone unrealized
Already something else before found
A long line of  the rejected
I lay my head down to sleep
Thinking I will do a repeat
And the day is already gone

kissing perfection

kissing the horizon 

walking the tight rope 

to a uncertain future

the sun speaks

the sun speaks to me

in that silent way

sunshine reflecting off the waves

telling their stories 

eight minutes old

wind just loud enough

to drown out humanity

calm tranquility

a motorbike

fires up

a distraction for a second or two

silence calms the soul

as the waves sing that lullaby
the sun speaks
silently to me
reflecting off the waves
wind just loud enuogh
to drown  the murmur of humanity
slashing waves sing a lullaby

the darkness

Amputated

The future robbed

Experience comes in sporadic servings

I understood the rawness of the dark

How some profit from deceit and violence

The banality of life

It eats at your dreams

The presence of sadness

That never ends

You can't return unharmed

The injustice of silence

 A noble soul that wants to escape

The corruption of realistic solutions

The desperate darkest of brutal industries

The future robbed

Experience comes in sporadic servings

I understood the rawness of the dark

How some profit from deceit and violence

The banality of life

It eats at your dreams

The presence of sadness

That never ends

You can't return unharmed

The injustice of silence

 A noble soul that wants to escape

The corruption of realistic solutions

The desperate darkest of brutal industries

Unconditional regret

Unconditional regret

On one knee

Reticule heard in your laughter

This nightmare

Where everything is illogical

Uncontrollable self

Coke sin and dancing goats

Pasted out wide awake

A smile that makes you lost

A look that makes you lose control

The voice that freezes your soul

Unconditional regret

Pulls you down on one knee

Laughter echoes off the walls

This nightmare wide awake

Dancing goats keeping the beat

An addiction you can’t stop

Lost in that smile

Eyes that see into through the soul

The voice that takes control

Pasted out wide awake

A smile that makes you lost

A look that makes you lose control

The voice that freezes your soul
a memory that in now gone

where beavers go

where do beavers go

with a tail slap

sounds sharp and crasp

gone

Sunset haze

under a sunset haze

what lingers in the minds of our future

a game to us 

molding where we will be

Lost in Amnesia

I don’t meet your ideal

I didn’t make you my religion

Worshiped you for too long

A pagan belief

Recycled to the image you want

They called you a prostitute

Jesus loved you anyway

I don’t meet your ideal

I didn’t make you my religion

Worshiped you for too long

You’re my Sangraal

Echoes on the wind

The temptation of desire

Guilty of not proven

I don’t meet your ideal

I didn’t make you my religion

Worshiped you for too long

Secrets written in stone

Lost in amnesia

Collective dementia

Buried in another person’s world

I don’t meet your ideal

I didn’t make you my religion

Worshiped you for too long
