Lessons From The Master

Sweet delicate premise
Balled fists and closed eyed kisses
Standing in your shadow is luminous
Morphed adaptations subject to your touch
Latching onto unstable footing
Quivering under the weight of the bittersweet taste of your monastery

You head the pulpit
Where only ever your testamony must ring true
So I bend and fold to fit biased accounts of realities I know too well
Student and teacher
Annointed caricatures of an Adonis complex
You are the preacher
Never choosing me as I choose you

Bad romances
A cult never devout of devotees
So you give out a piece of us
Played like a fiddle by your lust
There you go dancing again to the sound of your own beat
While I stand behind you watching my feet

Masterful wielder of the mightiest sword
Never sparring the rod
Silently unseen lashes and cuts
Failing and flailing
Trying to latch you on to my bust
The heady aroma of us

It's the glint of captured starlight
Both far away and so near
So I keep reaching
For the unattainable can be so deceiving

Prescriptions

Outbreaks of ominous sirens Concentrated in corrugated iron ridges Erectly cradled in water rusted discoveries Publicly seeded in the devastation of black soil Spitting busted grapes A tornado of the rotten blowing torrent winds at cotton fibres There's fear amongst the stiffly practiced There's fear in the corroded defence of fan folded ton gues of serpents freely looting streams of lost words adrift in a heaven devout of faith My afterbirth is lost in the placenta of thought These umbilical cords wrapped around my head Crowned my temple in life symbolic Fingering circles in amniotic fluid Painting reproductions courtesy of stark silences Strangers to closed stores Stock taking emotion but the inspiration is free And the failure?? Absolutely gorgeous Ridding lite flares They rival us to fireworks Mingled reassurances Bless them for being wise enough to look away Like down town streets flowering rooms with crack pipes Gasp at the audacity You'...

Natural opiates

Natural opiates, Agitated we tap nervously on the systematic flow of love and light Angry veins swell and we spill over Telltale signs Some things even the blind can see Straight to the brain Piercing Penetrating passions The rush unimaginable Crashing down equally as mysterious and equally as demanding These sad stories; the only moments we can believe in. To be sober, a fertile ground for suspicion and insecurity Is it only real because it hurts? Treading the needle Today we sparkle Tomorrow we burn Walking contradictions Beautiful beginnings Tragic ends? Blood ties Strength and weakness But you're the only one to make me try for you Fiends of all the small ways we die everyday I can't help it but with the mention of your name Your presence is implied Around my throat and by my side Overdosing Overwhelmed by feeling Like air we reach the ceiling Fading Sensory overload reuniting on the floor We are sinking.
