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.
