How do i say
"I Love You?"
when our tongues
are not the same?

And my Eyes
Pay cruder
compliments.

(to lust without
a name.)

The Stars give
terrible advise.
(suggesting half-assed
faith.)

still,
you direct my
thoughts toward
Paradise!

(though my heart
remains a Wraith.)

how do I say
"I love you"?
when I've never
heard you speak?

and your Eyes
Are Graves I
Fall Into!!

(as a smile cuts
your cheek.)

September is
for
the wandering
dead..

a time to
dwell
on Restless
Memories.

(and Dance
With Skeletons
In My Head.)
+

I try ignoring
angelic idols..
who sing false
tragedies to
fading stars..

while murdered
by Demonic Rivals!

(who get off on
The Taste of Scars.)
_

i've seen my
Brother in Several
Dreams..

he never turns
his head my way...

just pulls the
Trigger once and
screams.

(forever lost in
Yesterday.)
+

yes,
september
is for the
Dead;

A Time to
dwell on
Sacred Moments.

(and all the
things I should
have said.)

his words seem
like childish
whispers
in a paper-septic
room..

where shadows slowly
nibble on the light
and spread their gloom.

but,
i love you
cuz..

and see your
"SOUL".

(just
as all Good
Angels Do.)

they're with you
when you gasp
for breath..

trying to fight...

the
sour-dough-stench
of Death.

(which lingers
in your room at
night.)

and they listen
when
you cry!

(hoping
to set the
wrong things
right.)

karma doesn't
work this way..

(nor cast ones
soul to hell's
confinement.)

and while
its True
All
have A Price
to
Pay..

"god"
collects The
Final rent!!

(then wipes
our debt away.)

his words
are Heavens
Whispers
in A Golden
Room...

where
(soon)
Angelic
listeners
shall Defeat
The Shadows
Gloom.

for chad.

love you man.

a spider draining me

a spider
draining me.

a quick gesture
      of
Her Head..

to shake The
  Spiders
  Loose...

But Their
    Eggs
 hatch
The New-
Born
 Dead!

(and Oh
The Madness
    They
Produce!!)
     +

Could i
   truly sell
my soul
    for
This??

(Forfeit
Those
Sacred Parts
    of
Me.)

When
There's
   No
Salvation
   in
A Kiss!!!

(and Love
resorts to
 Slavery.)
   +

she
       Sheds
A
Brief Half-
Second
   Smile...

        to
reveal Grim
Beauty's
   Mockery..

as I laugh
(sadly)
     In
   Denial!!!!!!

(that she
is A
   Spider
Draining
   Me.)
