Laura and the tyger

Laura and the tyger live
together
as she thinks they should.

Running wild around mazes
made of love
when you’d think they wouldn’t.

Laura has tried to rein it in
just for me
and the pain I was through;

but the tyger stares and
then I know:
I am gonna be his dinner soon.

Lazarus

There’s always
Something
To point out
I’m wrong.

I know I am
And yet
I don’t surrender
To the evidence:

I’m dead.

Your train of thought

The train is leaving the station
and it's the last one at this hour.
You'd better hurry, my flower,
or I'm afraid you'll be stuck here.

This is not a good place to stay
(that's even by my low standards).
If I don't catch it, I'll run,
for I don't wanna be stuck here.

Please don't dream there'll be another
it is the worst of your mistakes.
This is where your heart most aches,
and you don't wanna be stuck here

Earth and heaven, purgatory and more:
the stations this train goes through.
Better leave behind your hope, do;
because now you are just stuck here.

And in which one of the stations
do you think you are standing? Well?
I guess you know already, it's Hell
and you are really, deeply, stuck here.

The rat in the maze

Cat’s grace,
amazing display of love
for the fall.
Twist turn ride
the moment you choose
to tail the truth
with lies.

Sightseeing
over the whispering
Moon spoon doom
that awaits us all.
Meat on bones,
fingers reaching
inside.

Mountain climb,
no matter what.
Just like
that rat
in your maze.
Lost,
never found,
until you forget.

Snake feelings

Snake feelings of my broken passion
lately found around your bossom
chancier meeting you’d not see
nothing least likely to be.

Bearings lost so long ago
sucking marrow from your toe,
pardon the pain in this sack
of living blood and breathing bone.

The crying rabbit

Pity is pain,
some unholy rain
running down your cheek
for shame.

Now’s not then,
never know just when
the game is up; or if
it’s changed.

Take the truth
Stick it in
As down as it’ll go.

As you blink,
clear away the pink
of your rabbit eyes.
Forgive.

Welcome to your life

Try.
Try hard.
Something’s bound to happen.
Someday.
Something’s gonna break through,
break through the pain,
through the hunger,
through the veil of darkness
that surrounds you.

It will happen.
Be there,
hold on.
Grab on to your faith,
your love,
your self.
Your innermost
Sanctuary.

The night ends;
the day ends;
the good the bad the life
End.
And that’s just how it is.

Killing flower

Life goes round
oh, yes, it sure does.
Whenever you feel lost,
you'll end up found.

I tried to escape,
so many times I did.
I ended up caught...
I guess it was my fate.

I am like a fly,
atracted to your trap.
The weird thing is I won't
let you pass me by.

Venustrap, my venustrap!
I think I'm gonna fall
and everytime I feel like this
I know you'll always do your part.

Sweet perfume: daisy
white as milk and snow,
red like death and dawn:
sweet death, maybe...

It's rest I want,
for one lil' last time
my wings are tired, yes
but I just can't.

Venustrap, you're venustrap!
You know I'm gonna fall...
For every time you tempt me,
I'll just be glad to do my part!
