In these desolate streets
Burnt out desires and silly hypocrisy
Full of haphazard meanings and
Unavoidable intentions
Resuscitate this energy
Full of glistening curiosity and
Endless musings, rusting memories.
With cliché stubbornness and
Stumbling misadventure
Relinquish possibility
This ethereal evening of
A make believe prophecy, formed of
Bent out wishes and upside-down desires
In this ageless tradition or grandiose scheme
Augment this phallicy
Clutter in isolated perfection
Fill this tenacious labyrinth
Of maze and amazement.
Timeless tradition
FUCK
Conformation.
Unoriginality.
Normalcy.
Predictability.
Cherubic
I met a man today
With pain in his eyes and emptiness behind
He asked me
"What's the worth?"
I looked, and questioned
I answered
This moment is what its worth
It will never be here again
We will never be here again
Only traces
Of two lives once lived
I saw a man today
Carrying unresolved burdens and painful regrets
He sighed
He asked me
"Why am I here?"
I looked at him and knew
I said
You're a father
You live on for your boys
They depend on you
I met a man today
Struggling with questions and not finding answers
He extended his hand
He asked me
"What can I do?"
I reached out
I traced his hand
I said
Find something
Oooh...Psychadelic wave and
Let's see your glittery gold hair and
Flash that sparkling sequined turquoise heel
While you blow the smoke off the top of your gun.
Whoaaa...Strobe lights and disco balls and
I want to see your playboy zippo and
TEC-DC9 automatic
After you fire a bullseye in the forehead of the man you hate.
Ahhh...trance dance and incense aroma and
Let me taste your vodka tonic and
Watch you pour the poison in his cup
While you smirk and wink being all too sweet.
Jeeez...Sweet smelling cigars and alcoholic breath and
Let's see that note you slipped in his hand and
Wrote the words to send him over the edge
As you m
I am nothing and as I sit here
It seems like everything is bland
And tasteless
And there is no desire, or want
There is no love, only mediocrity
If even that
And even emptiness seems normal
Sedate and comatose and not really here
Void and lonely and unable to be touched
Everything takes too much effort and even to
Raise my eyes seems like a strain
I just want to sleep because that means
Not to think
And take away this nothingness
Leave me free.

The Evenings End version 2
It was a summers evening, mid July. She inhales the season with every breath, and dreams of lives she\'ll never live. Out here in this wilderness, away from human error, dreams drift and thoughts wander to places they don\'t teach you growing up. And for a minute the beginning of time doesn\'t seem so far away. She goes to the pond, and seeing a reflection...it\'s her...it\'s her in another life. She doesn\'t reach out, because with a touch it shatters, and this fragile moment is hers alone. The usually so silent girl parts her lips and speaks to the world,

Summers evening, mid July
She inhales the season with every breath
And dreams of lives she'll never live.
Out here in this wilderness
Away from human error
Dreams drift and thoughts wander
To places they don't teach you
Growing up.
And for a minute
The beginning of time
Seems not so far away
With a plan in place
She goes to the pond
Stumbling upon a reflection
It's her
It\'s her in another life.
She doesn't reach out
Even a gentle touch and it shatters
Only her gaze penetrates
This fragile moment is hers alone
The usually so silent girl
Parts her lips
And speaks to the world

Bitterness seeps into my being
Life has dealt an unfair hand
Closed up by your voice
Silenced by your words
Torn apart by your touch
I cry, but cannot be heard.
This world sends swords into my heart
Slashes my being, opens my eyes
Closes my soul
I suffocate, but I come up first.
Did I not ask for you to disappear?
Fire burns me
Wrath consumes me
I scream, but my voice is hoarse.
This world is against me
Tears me down and breaks me
I try to smile, but it doesn\'t work.
Death is strewn in midnight skies
Emptiness prevails
Sadness seeps into my being
I sigh, but cannot be heard.
Heaviness weighs me down
Longing fills me up

Chasing Perfection - the End
Dearest…
Annelise.
I never fathomed that I could become so completely enthroned by a mortal being. You see, I was never one to fixate. My eyes traveled the circumference, wandered into valleys, and swam through ocean currents. I was, in a sense – free. God, looking back, I was alive in the clearest sense of the word.
When you came, you struck me down with lightning. I had never been so encompassed by beauty, charm…that aura of mystique. All the while I carried with me a sense of apprehension of impending doom.
I was chasing after the wind.
To this day I still ponder whether you led me to this, or whether the downward spiral in life
I cry and you think it\'s temporary
I scream and you think it\'s necessary
I close my eyes, and you wonder why.
Do you not see the layer of darkness?
It swallows me up in an instant
Digests me till I am in pieces.
Endless agony lends an unflattering hand
If pain and regret were drunk from glasses
Then mine would be full to the brim.
An acidic environment eats away at my flesh
I am tainted by your words
Close me eyes and my ears, and could I be saved?
No.
For that, I must close my heart.
My body aches from the weight of this world
My head swims in its\' molecules
Ask me who I am...and I can\'t reply
Tell me who I am...and I wo

You are definitely talented. Thanks so so much for the fav. I see you've added "beau tiful" by pullmyheartstrings to your favourites. That's me in that picture, and Lara models in most of my photos too (in case you didn't gather that, some people have no idea). Anyway, cool running into you, and I hope to see you around!
