lost

wandering inside my mind
wondering where you are
if you really were next to me
in the hot night

look down and your gone
a dream awaken to the nightmare
pain of you
without you


black gardens choke life
of all who step off the path
baked in sunlit tombs
demons walk where an angel flew

drunk on you
my sweetest hangover
on my mind and my skin
i shutter at your voice

lost among the flies
feast setting is ruin
crimson sheets reign
with spilt wine never to taste

passed life

in the green pool
waiting to be dragged
down to the bottom
the concrete shore

under the candlelight
the lies flicker
as the wax melts
time as stone

night blows
the blood dry
cools the sweat
hiding the tears

now cast out
aside for all to laugh
and point
the destruction

days of uncertainty
dry tongue
parched on your skin
full of your waste

running hours
instead of listening
another lifetime
to lose you again

The Demon

The ritual is over
The altar has been cleansed
Knives scrubbed of remains
Augers unheeded

My bonds are broken
Ties severed
Wrists creased from your lies
I leave the pulpit, scorched

Out
Again into the jungle fire
Living to the next
Summoned for a cause lost

Chalked circles melt away
Singed fur
Bloodied lips
Swollen tongue
Never to tatse again
