92 Degrees

The day drags by like a wounded animal
The approaching disease, 92 degrees
The blood in our veins and the brains in our head
The approaching unease, 92 degrees 

Long ago in the headlines, they noticed it too
But too late for the loved ones and nearly for you... 

Shaky lines -- on the horizon
Snaky thoughts -- invade each person
Watch the red line -- creeping upwards
Watch the sanity line weaken
The volcanic depths of Hades' ocean
Bubble under, these crazed eruptions
It wriggles and writhes and bites within,
Just below the sweating skin 

I wondered when this would happen again
Now I watch the red line, reach that number again
The blood in our veins and the brains in our head... 

Drink the water with jagged glass
Eat the cactus with bleeding mouth
Not 91 or 93, but 92 Fahrenheit degrees 

Shaky lines -- on the horizon
Snaky thoughts -- invade each person
Not 91 or 93, but 92 Fahrenheit degrees

 

Lands End

Come take this hand at twilight's door
I'll meet you there, we'll share the moonlit floor
Through the driving rain, colours run in veins
Ozone fills the air, two figures disappear 

Come let's take flight, let's quit this scene tonight
Whilst they sleep on endless, in their wrecked designs
Sleep on endless in your wrecked designs 

Moths touched by flame repeat their fatal game
Forever and eternally, the cliffs around the crashing sea
Unsolved and endless, wait for me 

Undulating far below, where lucid waters flow
Their faces seem to know...

Where the land falls to an end
This hidden tale begins
Take a walk with me, down by the sea
Take a walk with me
Down by the sea

 

An Execution

This is what she saw:

The unsuspecting horse was held fast to the ground 
whilst some soldiers slit open its belly 
The guilty gypsy was shoved inside the horse's belly
With only his head protruding from the dying beast 
Another soldier then sewed up the wound with the culprit inside 
Condemned to die, along with the putrefied animal,
screaming...

The young Countess looked on, barely restraining a giggle...

 

The lunacy will leave the day
Luminous in flight
As the moon spits out
In jagged beams
another night

Wrap around this brilliant veil
Tranquil and unbroken
As you spiral down
A world of clay
and taut convulsion

The dream swan spins
And cartwheel turns

Down deep within your violet slide
The sun begins to rise
Shaking down its morning swords 
to thaw your frozen eyes

The dream swan spins
And so conceals
a heart that aches and yearns

O hush awhile
Sleepless child

I'll be watching over you...

 

Umbrella

 

Away from the dying rain, far away

From the pain washed drains

Under the darkening skies

Now under protecting lines

Beneath these unloved crimes

Relief is a gentle sigh

Dissolve these eyes so I may cry
