Eclipse

As the dark became darker
The light became brighter

He will be bound to die griping
If he doesn’t check himself
Or maybe he wants that

I’m reminded of everything I have
Everything I don’t need
The story of an apple and a snake
Who takes the bait
Who’s left to blame

Or maybe everyone is pointing fingers

Stuck in a rut or ready to go
Just be nice, just be nice
It’s kind of endless
Where things can end up
Gravity is funny that way

I’ve got maybe another five decades
To get it right and seven if I’m lucky
It feels good to look forward to something
And solid to project so far away

I don’t mean to sound like a gink
But maybe all that time I wished
To spend with her wasn’t as
Important as I made it out to be
Orchestra of fantasies in my head

I thought I wanted to share it with
Someone anyway
Somewhere anyway

It wasn’t what I thought
A puzzled picture

Fragmented light

Mère de Misère

I don’t want you to be dark
I told her
I need you to be hopeful
There’s enough
Darkness in the world

Unreasonable wishes

She loves you with a
Broken heart
Even months in between
Next time a year

Is it a penny for your thoughts
What would it take to bring
The light out of your tunnels
Into my heart to welcome me
With yours

Life can be dark
But I don’t want that with her
I hear myself talking
And I know
I don’t have to say
A word

Greatness comes with
Her darkness because
Everything else
Is early

I know we know
Tension
We share blood
Even bad blood

It’s your time to be
Sustainable with me
Don’t talk about dogs getting kicked
And brothers getting bit

Somehow you make sad
Shamelessly sadder

There’s a space for that
Numbers work
The seasons pass
A comfortable pink
An optimistic sound with you

Nonexistent

It is impossible to trust
The darkness that keeps the faith
With you, a pyramidal parent

Delusional sibling
Resistance assured on my part
I bang my head out loud

Why did I call? Broken lines

In the Dark

Could you identify me
If we locked eyes on the street
Would you recognize my
Shadow or see my outline
Backlit across the drapes
Along the wall
I see the candlelight
Flickering beneath the sheets
Open your mouth
Let the light shine out
Sparks between us
Starlight enters through the
Windows and there’s a demon
Up ahead maybe we should
Reconsider getting out of bed
Disappear without a trace
Touch me now
Kiss my face
There’s a devil dancing
In the field below
Just past the edge of the
Rooftop you can see a
Pale moon beaming
Over a trail of tears
Fire and fears footprints
Burned into the years
Before us the past is ours
To let go of much like the
Emotions we’re desisting
Heat between us
Still persisting crawl onto
The roof with me breathe
And feel the mist of destiny
Beneath our naked bodies
Would you recognize me
If you saw me on the street
I’d recognize you in the
Way you speak even if I
Saw your shadow passing
Silently in the dark
