Dreams

  • Distortion

    Turn up the volume, and turn down the lights. Several faces where only one should exist. Scattered images of past and present loins. Sunken like breasts, and drowned in winter dismay. Parasitic brain, leaching through a lack of belief. Scars on the back of my hands. Inked words that have no meaning. Drawn symbols faded… Read more

  • Fearless

    Emaciated. Lubricated. Death and despair spreading willows from tongue to thigh. All those darlings suffocated so cruelly. Sluts in African plains. Vulture culture so plastic like modern sex. Jailed thoughts and hidden desires. From my mouth to hers. In his shadow, repeated until denial is not an option. Bodies in dust. Limbless limbs and a nebula… Read more

  • Anthem For A Lost Cause

    Mausoleum scapegoats. Sentenced to death, we laugh in the face of sensuality. In the dying embers of a lifelong dance, we explode in the blink of an all seeing eye. In the face of god, we burst into vapour. Black tree. Branches in the snow reaching out through the midst of time. And all that… Read more

  • Exit Signs On Sidewalk Nine

    Ancient statues. Burning lanterns. Arrows piercing flesh and bone. Arrows inside the temple of the mind. Golden Pavilions, and luscious gardens of wheat and aged dolls. Porcelain flesh. Guerillas in the midsts of somewhere unseen. Animal instinct. Time ticking out. A car crashes in foreign lands; dust and burning suns screaming as a soul not… Read more

  • Survivalism

    Illicit. Complicit. A sandcastle of hopes and fears, dissolved as the quarter circle sun spins out of control on the horizon. All the love in the world. All the sex you could ever muster, smeared across your chest. The beating drums of faith, ringing in your pretty little ears. Holes of abstraction. Fit me together,… Read more

  • A Violent Fluid

    Passing ruins, these fingers tease repeatedly. Three in the chamber, and one in her mouth. A crow circles churches then collapses with no meaning. Blink at the sight of the seventh sun, come tumbling down with hawk eye blind reverse. Her flesh next to mine. Her mind a caterwaul of stars and non-dissolved prisms of… Read more

  • Feed Me Your Kiss

    we eat worlds and spit out the rest madness and love. mixed together like blood and lust she gives me control tears away at my restraint. tears away at every hole on my hands and on my knees. she brings release destroying every last doubt until there’s only sin and sin is where we come… Read more

  • Haunted

    These days, they make me feel alive. A mess of words and strange thoughts. A trial of snakes and ladders. Heaven comes crashing down as the waves of lost opportunity splash around our bare feet. She’s dangerous, but the best ones always are. A rose and a thorn between tightened fingers. So many lost lovers.… Read more

  • Myst

    Her beauty slithers through the night. She’s champagne, bubbling beneath a crescent moon. She comes around without warning. A warm soul, burning with a passion when others are just so lifeless. The spice in her veins. The truth of her footsteps. On thin ice, we dance because we mean it. We bleed because we feel… Read more

  • Heaven Scent

    Distant galaxies. The gaze of her eyes. Stars and planets, drifting in eternal darkness. Love like snow, falling upwards towards the clouds. Flashing lights. Flowers in the rain bouncing like cigarettes. A sequence of events that comes together like bombs upon a fading eastern town. Cold and wet graveyards. Dead leaves on the dirty ground.… Read more
