Bow

Affording the luxury of our feelings
Putting things in a storage unit

Forgetting time and moving
In out in out up down
I don’t call her
Because she’s too dark

It’s not a strength of personality clash
It’s the light that I’m seeking
Bright at the top of the hill
I can see it in the distance
Coming toward me
But away from you

I have a better chance
At witnessing the second coming

Now marks the time definitively
Without your sound
And the evidence of you
Is all around

Why does it have to be over?
It’s so final

My sad face
Looking a people in cars
Makes you wonder if they know

My body is getting quieter
This marks the beginning of a new era

And although I’ve cleaned up shop
Picked up the pieces
Collected my feathers

It still feels like
The top’s been ripped off

Me attempting to tie
A pretty bow on everything
Even darkness

Here They Come

There are demons
In the streets
Sharpened knives and
Jagged teeth
Light casts hope upon
The fires that have donned
Our wicked truths
No hiding from
What darkness preys
Romance will slay
True love daggers
Flames of rage
Misinformation finds a way
Into the hearts
Into the minds
Of the innocent

Total Darkness

Stand and shine
Even in blackout
As the person that you are
185 steps to the bottom
Glowing from the inside out
Stalactites dripping down
Not just the picture
A cave of wonders
Beyond what people
Want you to be
What do you see?
Show us all
The inner painting
What you’re about
A masterpiece
Even in total darkness
I can hear the walls sing
Residuals of your heart beat
Silence articulated
Discreet
In a gallery of praise
For the minutes and
The hours that pass us by
Black light
Nightness
Darkfall
Completely dimmed
Aware of my surroundings
You are the call
I listen for
In a blackwoods
Of wild perplexity
The rarest nightshade
Truly most handsome
Total darkness
Has ever seen
