The harder you fight the tears
the faster they come.
the harder you breathe
the faster they flow
Dont fight them, its the only rule you broke.
Giving in, it was the only thought that broke you.
The louder you scream
the stronger the force
The weaker the will
the softer the blow
Close your eyes, the only thing you saw
Your curse, it was the only goal to reach.
I was walking up the stairs
And i met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today.
I wish, i wish he'd go away.
One of my closest friends, a true artist and extremely talented.
A partially muscled skeleton stands beside the perimeter fence
and screams for three seconds
and god was born
not jehovah
but the nuclear messiah
Dr. Manhattan
oppenheimer on the cross
two shadows kiss at Hiroshima
etched into a concrete memory
kissing not knowing
what was coming
Flasback: Golgotha
hammering detonators through
christ’s palms
Santa claus
Snowshoeing through nuclear winter
fishing for survivors
bloody Rorschach’s
dapple snow angels
the nodus Gordii mountain
peaks the atmosphere of mars
the crown of a child
peaks the lips of its mother
a thermodynamic miracle
mankinds last act
will be to self destruct
at the pulpit
lamenting a hydrogen
messiah
My arms are heavy my arms are heavy my arms are heavy
molasses fog
no superman
no god
screaming through a cotton tongue
man in the shadows
he’s holding a machete
no one else can see him
he’s waiting for another mother
waiting for a baby sandwich
my sweat is cold my sweat is cold my sweat is cold
waiting to steal love
like grendel in the basement
and dorian on the canvas
screaming through lead eyelids
time gets stopped
to make men monsters
monsters make men
great
they slay their heroism
my lips are thick my lips are thick my lips are thick
screaming with a cornstarch mouth
my nightmares catch in my throat
and every morning I survive
to dream of monsters
and churchyards when my eyes go out again
my fists are hard my fists are hard my fists are hard
I hear your mother
in my ear
screaming at a 5 year old
he started it he started it He started it
martyr
monster
naïve as the devil
and as violent as the Nazarene
you got a light you got a light you got a light
fire in my lungs
destruction in my glass
theres is magic in my cave
and a monster in my head
I’m Fine I’m Fine
just leave me I’ll be fine
mantra of a madman
if I unwrite my life
where do I stand
there’s a girl at the fence
theres a boy at the fence
he plans to hurt me
I plan to hurt her
my past is heavy my past is heavy my past is heavy
fade out
fade in
gloss over it
screaming soundless at the walls
air like tar
eyes in a purple haze
a blue candy whale
and a monkey on my back
a sin without memory
and salvation turns its back
I am caliban
prospero turned his back
I am trying.
I want to get away from this pleasure.
Leave me, eat me.
oh god what i wouldn't give.
Just for one moment of excstacy.
Pure emotion.
Emotional Death.
