Morning war is the best kind of war there is.
You wake up with the other person's arms around
you and maybe he bombs you. Softly.
Your eyes flutter open and you see
all that makes him devastating. Maybe
he maliciously rolls onto you, and the
two of you fight in the glow of the morning.
And then he bombs you again. This time
it's a little more harmful, and you catch
a glint of something in his eyes. He wants
you. And you want him, too. He bombs
you more and it gradually gets harder,
more passionate.
Piece by piece, whatever clothing you
fell asleep in comes off and before you
know it, your naked bodies are basking in
the
I.
I decided to explore one cool summer,
the paths that weave throughout my neighborhood.
Little did I know what I would un-cover.
I stepped a little further into the wood
than I had in my previous ventures,
and probably further than I ever should.
Before too long I came upon a fixture,
a gate made of stone now stood in my way.
From behind the stones appeared a strange creature,
a creature I recognized from my younger days.
The Goblin King, Jareth took me by the hand
and said "Baby, don't ask questions, just obey."
And I did not fight as he showed me a land
that I never knew lay behind my yard;
my nighttime jaunt became a journ
That clown has a clapboard covered in knick knacks;
his crinkled knees fail
to scare me.
The car in the parking lot --
the one with the spare tire on the back? --
isn't mine but
it reminds me of someone -- of someone I wish I had
never known.
There's a shadow
cast on the east entrance and I get the feeling that
those eastward leaning trees know something
I don't.
Your record's broken, and no one knows how that clown got a hold of it.
I've had it with this cigarette.
I've had it with that clown.
That dress stopped looking good on you,
and I stopped loving you years ago.
I'll love you forever, he said with a sigh
as he carved her name in the old oaken tree;
but she gave no answer, no blink of an eye.
He traced her name in the sand ever so dry,
but the tide came in and she never would see.
I'll love you forever, he said with a sigh.
He asked her what she'd do if he were to imply
that it was her who he wanted to marry;
but she gave no answer, no blink of an eye.
He lay down with her in the month of July --
he caressed her skin, and kissed her so gently.
I'll love you forever, he said with a sigh.
Let's be together 'til the moon leaves the sky
and live, just the two of us in a world that's so free;
A wall was now placed where the old window once looked out over the vast ruins that used to be a small village. From inside the room you would never know that there was ever a window, and no one had looked up at the house from the outside in decades. Inside the house lived a small boy, a slightly smaller girl, and their much larger father, none of whom ever left the house. The children would often question their father as to why they could not leave, but the answers never came, and day after day they all remained locked within the confines of the house.
One day, their father became very ill. The children begged him to let them run and fetch
I think of him (hit snooze for the
fifth time); we met in the early
evening, next thing I knew it was
past midnight (melt into my sheets).
He told me all the pain she's caused,
(The sun threatens to force me from
my bed.) I told him she's a bitch,
with head down and hands in pockets.
Goodnights exchanged over final
cigarettes. (My roommate turns and
goes back to sleep--) And then we hugged.
He descended the lonely stairs.
(--if she does, maybe class won't
happen, she says.) He turned to shout
one last thing. I didn't hear him.
I faked it, waved, and walked away.
Molasses air hangs--
caressing my sinner's hand.
See with blurry eyes.
Speak, I like your words.
Invite me, your drunken mind.
I sit and listen.
Your eyes just miss mine.
Kiss me with your whiskey mouth--
I'll watch the room spin.
I detest the taste you left,
bitter poison on my skin
and I fear I'll never again
be the same girl I was –
and you're to blame.
Your fingers in my hair
are like sharp thumbtacks,
scratching just the surface;
You never wanted to know me,
I wish I could say the same.
I am not a toy you can play with –
even dolls don't deserve
to be broken by you;
You didn't play by the rules,
and so I quit your game.

Everything Will Never Be OK
Forget something,
edible dreams and night scratches.
Crazy, go down --
alright, crush me.
Sitting high in a moment lovely;
God I want the sunrise.
Drink some wine,
dancing upside down.
Is this real?
Please, I love you sweetly –
come on, baby.
Thinking inside,
soul wrap-around.
Cleansing thoughts discover true silence.
Take me soaring,
melody softly,
window constantly.
Hold me --
doubt, right now fears look at her.
Pride lacks nothing,
except tender oblivion.
Frail, painful, logical words --
exhale.
Scattered across the horizon
shape-shifting, alone, torn;
I wait for answers but none do come,
and again I am lost for words.
Why? approaches my lips,
but I already know why,
and dare not ask again;
I don't want to hear it.
Now I wince at the thought of you,
your stupid glasses, stupid problems;
I wasted my time and heart
on someone who could never love me.
Just stay away from me,
I don't need what you have to offer –
I ran to you before
but I won't make that mistake again.
I'll love you forever, he said with a sigh
as he carved her name in the old oaken tree;
but she gave no answer, no blink of an eye.
He traced her name in the sand ever so dry,
but the tide came in and she never would see.

I am aware at how poor the quality is in the photographs of some of my old art, but I do not have a great camera, and some of the work is a little too big for the scanner.
Sorry for any inconveniance =)
