Away from yourself
The dark waves salute the shore
While bright sun burns deep.
While bright sun burns deep
into my skin, I pray for
rain to soothe my soul.
`
Rain to soothe my soul
--acid in my iron bowl
Hate and love my foes.
Hate and love my foes
It sucks to be Catwoman
Robin's kinda cute :cool:.
Robin's kinda cute
But his modesty, alas,
Is sadly lacking. :p
Is sadly lacking
When thunder rings loudly out
And rain pellets drop.
And rain pellets drop
Thunder whips the brown pasture
Cows groaning in angst.
Cows groaning in angst
Ran down the hill. Benjy watched.
Moo-cow met tuckoo.
Moo-cow met tuckoo,
And, O, the green wothe botheth,
Quoth Joyce, nevermore.
(I knew I recognized that line from somewhere, Petrarch's Love :D)
Quoth Joyce, "nevermore"
Stormy nights twisting thoughts, he
Read Poe to relax.
Read Poe to relax
Let the raven perch on you
Black feathers wave by.
Black feathers wave by
-good-bye gaudy morning sky
Please come out pale moon
Please come out pale moon.
Your shine romances-firelight
Help love through the night
Help love through the night,
So that when the sun rises,
We all wake in warmth.
We will wake in warmth
Last night I drank far too much
Can you change my sheets
Can you change my sheets?
The hospital bed tires me.
Slow death for Papa.
Slow death for papa
Papa doesn't like to smile
Won't you kiss me, dear?
won't you kiss me, dear
begin the wild game, that
always strips me bear.
Always stripes me bare
In a passionate night air
Italian summer.
Italian summer
Tuscan hills with curved roads
Lots of Chianti
Lots of Chianti
Clouding my thoughs-irregular
Who is this woman?
Who is this woman?
She sings pleasantly enough
But she's got wrinkles.
But she's got wringles
They straighten into old self
Life of the lost lady.
Life of the lost lady
vanished over the mountains
Sacrificed today.
Sacrificed today
My soul's hanging on a pike
It's black edges, frayed.
It's black edges, frayed
A crumbling reminder
Of abandoned love.
Of abandoned love
One must build a wooden pyre
And burn the memories.
and burn the memories
'till curling edges glow, lit
by sighing fatigue.
By sighing fatigue
The night has been lighly spent
Sleep here by the fire.
Sleep here by the fire
In your garb of fluff and mire
Does love absolve hate?
Does love absolve hate?
Does it erase all that passed?
No, it just numbs it.
No, it just numbs it.
We grieve but for what we know,*
And more lies below.
(*for the sake of preventing plagiarism, I stole a quote from Aldo Leopold's A Sand County Almanac: 'we grieve only for what we know.' :D)
And more lies below
Like snorting gator nostrils
Before the jaw snaps.
Before the jaw snaps,
The dentist finally stops
Saying "open wide."
*** ..........nonsense like usual
it's all good fun kilty.
Saying "open wide"
my dark cave-like memory
is shutting it's doors
Is shutting it's doors
Against the raging current
Known to most as love
Known to most as love
She hugs him with tenderness.
Then they build a fire.
Then they build a fire,
Huddle together and sigh,
Conjuring the past.
Then they build a fire
to melt the thick wall of ice
that separates them.
