Tell me the tools you used
so I may reverse myself
piece by piece
everything is art
not creation
I'm a fine oil painting
in my self destruction
elemental melting
into a colorful puddle of ruins
a creation rejecting the creator
and rising up to hold
it's own brush and pallat
it wasen't ment to be this way
abstract and too much black
transforming from my worst enemy
to my own salvation
from the world you created around me
The television goes static, as it often does in times of bad weather.
I stare at it, not blinking, not moving, calmly waiting for the entertainment to return.
I wait, sometimes longer than other times.
I know it is not gone forever, because I invested myself into this entertainment.
We bought the television, the cable, we pay the bills.
It belongs to us. The picture is owed to us.
I invested myself, and was owed something in return, which I did not receive in full.
I keep staring out in space, waiting for the universe to hand back what was taken away.
All the time, effort, struggling, all just to get static in the end, with no promis
The tide is rolling in on the southern beach were I sit
and an old agima is preparing my urchin.
Yellow meat slides out onto the plate and i eat them with a toothpick.
You would hate the taste, I already know.
But, you would love the waves that I swam in,
and you would have taken pictures with me beside the pirate statue with the silver beard.
The bus is coming and slowing down to pick me up.
I get on and I'm off again to a new paradise.
I would have let you take the window seat and told you all about asia
and it's weird quirks. And maybe you would have liked it.
And we would have seen mountains together and talked about
base jumpi
it's blue stained fingers
and going through each picture
the smell of you on my skin everyday
after scrubbing my own scent away
like you are in my blood
it's lounging in your shirt
and closing my eyes to forget the hurt
when you had to go away
it's candy bracelets and guitar
a ride in my car
round and round in circles
'till we get it right
it's phone calls in bathroom stalls
and for once a feeling
of not being able to contain myself
it's losing control
of something you stole
and never wanting it back
it's dancing lights
on the swing that night
it's you, again, promising
everything will turn out alright
in the end
reclin
at least you will leave me with my goody-bag
of memories, stories and pictures
i will never say shoulda woulda coulda
because im all dry inside
little bag of my remaining respect
little last candy kisses
little games that used to make us laugh
is it growing dark already?
is it time to go home?
i'll leave after i help you clean the mess we made
trash scattered
but the balloons still float on by
i blew secrets in them, so watch them die
You show me to the door and hand me my coat
it's cold outside without you
and the world is so harsh most of the time
i should have stolen a candle
before we blew them all out
you are fire
you are heat passion dancing
spreading waving teasing
red yellow blue orange
plastering pictures to my wall
turning nonsence into ashes
you are out of control
a piece of sun on earth
running suffocating loving
tormenting hot energy
daring and prowling for oxygen
melting and cementing
reaching and alluring
to the extreame
to the extreame
you invade my dreams
you are smooth whipples
of crackling soft flames
I had never seen a smile so genuine,
so gentle and warm-
and your eyes seemed to penetrate through me
when our glances met.
Your whole face changed into
someone so strong, yet so humble
and you would always bashfully look down,
still smiling.
You couldn't ever look me in the eyes:
Butterflies.
Day by day I learned to love you,
so easy, so intense.
But your eyes told lies I learned.
You took hold of me then broke me,
for your eyes weren't only mine.
They went straight for my heart,
when you said...when you said...
and it shattered like glass.
Your words pierced like swords
through that smile, still on your face.
You wanted
"What Eve did to Adam"
I bet Eve said to Adam, baby
I'm going to mess this up.
I have the curse of the sinning bride.
Now I lay awake and wonder what if
I never ate, would you still be with me?
Your four walls and a sink cannot cage me inside.
Let's run away and hide, I have a little change.
More change than one can handle.
So you smile anyways and tap your feet to the beat and
I wonder if you have since forgiven my past transgressions.
I need more than what you offer,
You need me to be happy with what I have.
So I'm sorry for this apple I always eat,
And this snake that keeps biting my feet,
I can't shake it lose, it's too
Light a match
And throw it out
Watch it burn
Hear them shout
No greater love
Than what we want
It's all about the fire
It's all about the hunt
I hear your voice
in the whisper of the flames
in the billowing smoke,
the snapping of window panes.
I see your smile
In the fire above
Staring in amazement
I think I'm in love.
I hired a marching band to play,
and stepped forward to lead the way
to the grounds where we laid her there,
a breeze of tension in the air.
But angry people looked at me
and told me who I used to be.
So I left them there as they cried,
with the one who long since died.
Did you think I would miss you,
run into your arms and kiss you?
I dropped her and she shattered.
I erased them and they vanished.
Poor souls, never saw it coming.
Never saw me leaving, never saw me running.
At the edges of the Earth, I found her dead,
nothing of greater importance was said.
I came back changed,
but everyone stayed the same.
The hazy line, o
