Say Love

The things I cannot mold with my hands

Cause a sorrow of heart and of mind

If only, if only, if only…

Is all that drags on in my head

And so we carry on through pain

In worry for your mother

Stuck in the cold grip of fear

Our heads spinning from lack of control

Though your emotions are well hidden

Still I sense the corners of your hurting

Suffocation, drowning

Strapped in, with no power to move

So much anger at how unfair this is

So afraid of what it all means

How are the memories so far off now

Why can’t we live the way we did before

I wish I had answers to give you

I wish, I wish, I wish…

But here we are staring

At the hard face of life

Who’s stern indifference tears at our chest

And eats our passion to live

This is not where we give in

Nor do we turn away

My words will not change time

They are only the expression of my heart

And perhaps they will have an emptiness

That does not satisfy your need for more

So let me hold you instead

And don’t let go until you are ready

Pray First

Say Love, Say Love, Say Love

Untitled

Those scars bear my name

My reflection is in the wreckage

And yesterday is yours to keep

To sleep with and carry

Even if you knew how sorry I am

The past would still be the past

Velvet

Slick legs make my heart pump blood

Until I’m throbbing

Craving your velvet

The shape of you on my tongue

Mesmerized by your lust

Your body heated and magnetized

Drawing lines from your nipples to your core

Until your sex is pulsing, greedy

Pulling me in

So that I may ravage your wetness

And thrash with you for hours

Time is an illusion

On nights when we sweat and scream

Smile

Little pieces, so minuscule and fragile

I picked them up and put them in a pile

I talked to god and asked him to stay for awhile

Because I’m building the frame to hold my smile

Castle

I’m building the foundations for my castle

With stones that I carved from experience

Some are tainted with blood

Other’s are blessed by holy water

The Devil waits on the outskirts

Offering his hand when I am overburdened

I do not lie when I say that sometimes I accept

And when I do my mind wanders into dark forests

That are full of wolves and snakes of no earthly presence

 

Deals

Thrills, chills

And deals to be made

Gucci, Versace, Louis Vuitton

Ferrari, Bugatti, Mercedes Benz

 

I prayed to the Devil

An answer came

But he’s sly and he’s cunning

He offered one crown to many men

 

Now his evil swarms

But my soul is still mine

So I get high off the fumes

While I walk the line

 

King

I invite you to step inside the mind of a King

Ambition primed, Passion ignited

Nothing settled upon

Catacombs of big dreams for you to explore

Walk down the valley of devotion

Take a jog through the forest of intentions

Don’t worry if your head spins

It’s all up and it’s all here

A hub for excellence

Don’t let your foot shy from the accelerator

Shatter your fears and drive fast

The earth is ripe

Learn how to harvest the fruit

Deals with the serpent

The black telephone rings

I know the men in suits

Are on the other end

My smile is almost a snarl

I’m frothing at the mouth

Nearly hyperventilating

My hands shake as I grab the handset

 

When I give my hello

My heart goes seven shades blacker

I am ravenous now

Nearly choking on my lustrous need

Closer to a devil than a man

 

I can hear them laughing, hyenas

Like a maniac I join in

I hear screaming… From somewhere far away…

They are quick to state their terms

Quicker still in their offer of gifts

A deal slithers from their lips

And before I know it I am theirs

 

When I sat on that throne of gold

A repulsive grin on my face

An emptiness where my soul had been

It was then I realized

The screaming I heard was my own

Devoted

The idea was whispered to me in my sleep

A kingdom that would rise out of the ash

Who am I to fight the enthusiasm?

No, I will not sway

If you are chosen

You must answer the call

Or be forgotten like the rest
