the end
let the dark faces fall down as i have
under the traffics merciless feet
to taste the dirt of life ...
light a candle for the blind like me
in a squatters basement where I stay...
guarding captivated spirits in
the solitude of my mind.
================
summer stenches from the streets above
evaporates into memories talking to me
where i reminisce,
about the passage leading down here...
blocked by staled love letters, broken songs
cold heart-ed bodies rejected me over the years
for a chat that I can’t escape,
until I release my last breath
telling you what love can do.
====================
it's a constant fight to release a plan
words and lies draft away
portraits brought me closure
in a daily dying place,
reminding me that I will too.
================
cracking earth beneath,
carving a grave for me,
anticipating my maker,
& you with me my favorite mistake,
if I’m to be burned for eternity
as I am in this earthly fault...
at the dark end,
wheel of life is unwinding down...
so hold the light to my face as I hit the dirt,
taking you in for one last embrace
and everything will be all right.
