Wind my key.

I am ever willing to paint 

A thousand pictures of you.

What if not love, is worth dying for?

The bewitched weep,

   And the thieves

             refuse to return

That part of your soul.

Magic

IS IT THE MUSIC?

The ever maddening music
That heightens my affections for you?
Then I’ll stay and away and turn it off
Banish playing music of any kind!

IS IT YOUR PICTURES?
Do they fan the flames of my longing?
Cold photographs with your smile in it ignite some diaphanous fire
Then I shall set all of them in flames!

But then I look around
And it’s the EVERYDAY, it’s EVERYWHERE!
Perhaps, this is what seers warned me about…
MAGIC!

Indigo

I'll taste the filth of your mercy
And kiss the back of your hand
Steeped in my curiosity
I cannot leave it behind!

Pray that I survive the dreams
That I paid for in gold coins
Stark, beautiful, even in our darkest hours.
Beastly, ghastly and ambitious to the core.

Locked together in this whirlpool of uncertainty
There is no turning back!
Hold on to me, we are nothing but...
Two lovers fading to black.

Creation

How does your heart stop?

Does it have the discipline to be your ally?

Or does it sink you when you needed to survive a pounce?

How does it leap from pulse to pulse when his touch teases you?

How does it infuse you with life when his many kisses please you?

How does it jump and echo

When he says your name,

Or looks you in the eye?

In those moments...

When he communicates with things that words don’t say?

SOUNDBITE

With you

    I abandon

        all my mental maps.

Lost in the whirlwinds of the north

Blessed by the stars of the distant south

Invited by the dizzying foray

of a tormented heart

This is where my soul will rest.

A CYNIC

Split-seconds from salvation,

          she walks away.

Pulls down the curtain to lie in bed all day

A dreamless slumber is her desperate prayer.

“Danger, just turn around and close your heart.

Announce no more pain

Or lessons from the past.

Reeling…
    And feeling

               Oh, so lost in this fairground of hearts.
