Heaven Sent

You are to me as stars once were,
So delicate, so competent, so new.
And in my lonely descent to hell
I'll take my solace that you're heaven-sent.

Perfect Calligraphy cannot do you justice,
Shakespeare would not even touch the surface
Of your sweet perfection, sweet intoxication,
You are a blessing. You're my lullaby.

I see you now, look at you my dear,
A grown up angel whispering in my ear,
I say I love you, Darling,
I mean the words I say
Yet this my dear,
Is not my place.

Photographs

moments in time forgotten rapidly
As if the memory itself wasn't enough...
Always fighting for me,
Always trying to stop
The sand of time can no longer pour.
The ground is wet now darling
My face has been erased.
And you cling desperately to what is left.
Papers can't bring me back
Tears can't summon my return,
And all that's left of me
Is another picture to burn.

Twisted

You look splendid darling,
Red suits you well.
The color of passion,
The color of Hell...
You look marvelous dearest
As if you're wrapped in blood,
The scent on your skin
Is awakening within
The dormant monster's twin: Infatuation.
You're but an angel, love
Your heart still on your sleeve
Yet all I can imagine
The red monster within
Has ripped his chains again,
You make me tear my flesh
So that the blood inside
Can finally keep you safe.

Secrets

You wondered how I left this planet behind
The pain that filled the last moment in time
You try to understand why I hid from you
Behind layers of cotton, black and blue...
I hid my scars too well
And in your innocence, you could not tell
You knew something was wrong
I told you not to check
The cat's out of the bag
So are my secrets.
