a birthday boy can dream…

1 Apr

staring up at the moon /
eyes stinging / throat tight /
can you see it, too? /
are we standing under the same light? /

cheeks wet / tear-stained face /
taste the salt on my lips /
prophet boy / what can i do? /
it’s simple / i miss you /

wishing on a star / wishing on them all /
just to feel my arms around you tight /
my heart is never far / it’s wherever you are /
you own my love / dominate my mind /

fall asleep /
looking in your eyes / looking in mine /
from across the miles /
through the darkness of night /
your lips / i seek /

wishing on a star / wishing on them all /
feel my hands touch your skin /
pull you into me /
deep / inside /
a birthday boy can dream /

you made a nervous boy sit still…

23 Mar

i wrote you a song / 
it was, oh, so easy / you were my heart /
wrote you three, actually /
you never heard them / too soon, gone /

like a schoolboy / crushing so hard it hurts /
a glance sent me to the moon /
surviving on daydreams of forever /
a touch / your hand in mine / 
it’s not hard to remember /
do you remember? /

you made a nervous boy sit still /
stared into my eyes /
i stared right back /
down the rabbit hole that night /
nothing left to feel /
tell me you don’t miss that /

don’t you know / i was lost, too /
before we found each other /
after lifetimes apart /
i held you close / feet touched together /
don’t you know / it destroyed me, too /
just can’t seem to recover /
since we broke / our hearts /

prophet boy / i will hold you again /
sit still / stare in your eyes /
these eyes, only for you / are mine /

just us /
alone for a night /
tell me you don’t want that /

prophet boy / i will hold you again /
sing you these songs / hold you from behind /
listen to stories of where you’ve been /
tell me stories of where you’ve been /

a prophecy, fulfilled…

13 Mar

it was a prophecy /
fulfilled /
you didn’t stand a chance /
it wasn’t you / it was me /

so label me ‘damaged’ / throw me away /
scold, smirk and demand /
punish me / manipulate my pain /
use my body / on my skin, burn your brand /

pick me apart / find all my flaws /
laugh at my heart / mock all my tears /
a lashing for every bad deed /
you knew to reject me / my greatest fear /

but you can’t control the spirit / i am free /
you can’t break the broken / i am free /

my deepest fear realized / rejected and despised /
but i am not yours / i am LOVED /
faced it / felt it / looked your black magic in the eye / 

it was a prophecy /
fulfilled /
“the truth shall set you free” /

bright eyes…

12 Mar

over there / him /
i saw a flash /
he smiles / back / a split second /
brilliance /
push against this sea of bodies / find him again /

the profile of his face / laughing with a girl /
cool jacket / tight pants /
he looks my way / forget to breathe /
bright eyes / 
a flash /

i’ve wandered in the desert / alone /
no moses to guide me /
hunted and haunted by dark eyes /
they followed me / angry / wished me unwell

no smoke by day  / no fire by night /
just a boy without a home /
it’s been so long / i forgot what it was like /

now you / bright eyes /
you bring a new law /
the darkness has finished its last dance /

like manna on the morning ground /
what’s under those tight pants? /
mystery / a new promised land /
bright eyes / flash /

hands shake / blood rush /
those lips / touch of scruff /
your eyes dance and play /
we may never meet again /
but tonight / you chased the dark away /
bright eyes / it was more than enough /

i’ll clean it…

5 Mar

resurrection /
with one glance / 
your powers tore the veil / rolled away the stone /
a glimpse into new dimensions /
your lips dripped transcendence /

to know i have never known /
to blink / visions of sights unseen /
a wild frontier / passion and fury /
sweat and sex /
never even knew i was thirsty / 

now you take it away /
hungry / starving for just a drop /
you’re in my blood / changed my DNA /
put your magic in me / i’ll beg /
make me do the work /

spit in my mouth / let me taste it /
digging wells into dry earth /
looking for you and me / “stars forever”
put it in me / please / watch from behind /
i’ll do the work 

i’ll even clean it / 

would you give me life to leave me for dead?/
i’ll dig until i see your eyes / 
the world don’t know it yet /
boy, you’re a prophet /

go deep / spit on it / raw / 
our love was thick / it wasn’t easy /
it was just perfect /
please / let me clean it /

third eye now open / can’t go back /
i swallowed your magic/ 
born again / into my mouth / down my throat /
now i’m begging for a drop /

mysterious boy / 
resurrect me / with just one glance
push it in me /
please / i’ll clean it /
