Life lived in the colour of a skin

A new path
Tuesday, August 26, 2014
In the sweet arms
Im walking blind
As I try to breathe
Live in your breath
Allowing me to understand
As I hold your hand
Nothing can stop the bleed
Emanating from the open wound
Distant memories
Clouded in shadows
Clouded in memories
I can only walk in the sun
If you allow tomorrows breath upon your hair
Knowing Ill be there in your shadow
Ready to catch the fall
As it screams a new voice
Watch you plant a garden
Watch the daffodils grow
Living in the new growth begun
Ready in this life
To begin again
In the sweet arms of a child

Tomorrow begins lonely
Silver trembles at thought of loneliness
Endured in the light of the new moon
Eyes cast to the heavens from lands away
Viewing the same stars in constellations unknown
And I kiss
Silken touches of skin electric
Tenderness devours eclectic rhythms born of sorrow
Words left unsaid feed the baying hounds
Confuse the jester now as a card is played
And I kiss
Layered in cashmere you hide to obscure
Kaleidoscopic distortions live the truth
Eyes give away reality to that left unsaid
Shrouded in protection giving way to seduction
And I kiss
In the realm of another place I see your reflection
As a single hand touches as words whisper unspoken
Reveal trust in the guise of forever
Reveal yesterdays torment as another scar of protection
And I kiss
Sail me through the wake in seas of a calm storm
Intolerable as the future guides nothingness
Weening from the teet of a new day
Hidden in the illusion of self doubt
And I kiss
Dodging raindrops as they fall gold from the stars
Skin coloured alabaster glistening in the sun
I call nothing and whisper your name
A gypsy’s smile cast in a spell of love
And I kiss
In the last kiss goodbye
I linger a moment more
Holding your breath
Listening to the evermore
And I kiss

Reflections

hope
Twisted in the shards that lie dying on the canvas
Fragments of hope sung on beats of a butterflies wing
Can you see me now as I kiss the refracted light
Lullabies burn devouring colours from the sunset
Dislocated by the congealed blood under these fingernails
Dissipating memories recoil as today forms the photographs of a mind
From here we can see the shadow of the gods as they rest now
Building from the beginnings as life turns it back on what has begun
Reality bleeds into the river as one to have never seen love
Tasting virtues belonging to another time I do the best i can
Footsteps leave a trace in rays of sunlight burnt into this skin
Blowing the dust from the ground as I sit and I wait

Someday
colours blend turning to black as the sunsets on another day
lived again on the edge of a rusty blade balanced on the tip of another soul
how would you know what it means to feel as my bleeding fingertips stain the sun
reflected in the convex mirrors distorting the shades of yesterday
hints of redemption savour the Harlequins trust blown as kiss in the ether
standing on time borrowed from the Gypsy as she casts another spell into the wind
awakening huddled tightly into your soul as it calms me from the shadows
I capture your breathe in mine and gather thoughts and dreams as the waves break
saving the wreckage outcast as a comfort scattered amongst a crackled sky
redemption scribbled quickly on the back of a postcard yet to be sent
seven skins devoured temper the soul as we dream of a clear blue sky
inject adrenaline appeasing the heart as my head bows and cries as I inject again

lost
As endless tears flow
Staining a page inscribed with ink
A future yet written on parchment
A poets heart bleeds in black
Palms held empty by the loss
Vision that that once saw so clearly
Words and letters dance alone
Appearing in time as line in this poem
Loneliness grieves as words lament
Loneliness a lost soul marked on skin
Loneliness traced in fragments of air
Loneliness is wishing you where here

angels name
the muse returns and leaves me to die alone
I cracked my head
So I had better lie down
Thoughts abound
I had better try suicide
I drink the blade
Taste the blood on my tongue
Feel the blade dig deep
Touch the vein
Blackness escapes
Inject the next psychotic
Into my neck
Id rather the blade to taste
Trip this and trip that
Some mutha fukkas gunna find me
Blue and cold to the touch
My soul a fading
Black days from this mind frame
I cannot see beyond
Shadows come to great me
My mumma is beyond the light
Who knew this could be may fate
I live to the Gypsy dancing my grave
Not that Ill know
Ill be cold and buried in times forgotten few
Too many sitting at the church
Wishing me goodbye
False people living a lie
Misery lives sunder this skin
Living in my veins
Acids curse
But one knows my name
Inked with tears on his cheek
A scar on his heart
One but knows
The angels name

face down
the muse returns with vengeance in her thoughts
Screaming from my lungs in the colours of sunsets past
Seething as my blood boils cold at the touch of you
Seven times Ive forgiven the innocent
Seven times Ive cried in colours of the Laurette
A black veil hides your ideals and your life
Unseeing eyes appear hollow as the words you use to hold me
In the palm one hand I hold forever
In the other I hold your salvation
Clenched now forever tight trickling blood slowly towards the dirt
Leaving me scared and unable to forgive
Open a torn heart exposed to the sun burnt from your love
Ravens devour hate perched on a slender arm of doubt
Whispering in my ear your name scratched in their crackled caw
This love tastes of excess
This life stinks of extreme

I breathe time
the leaves curl from winters breath
steam lifts from my tongue as a dragon spits flame
wafting its life in a spiritual prism
colours break forming oblique rifts in time
touch me soft as a fingers trace skin leaving red welts
teeth scar searing flesh imbibed by laughters reason
listening to the inner ramblings gather
seek the back of my hand for warmth and comfort
solitude dripped black and worn as a crest
placating remembrance and wishes of gold and silver
yet I dream of eleven sins in times of loss as I waiver
still wearing this skin marked in ink I smell frangipani on the air
want from this is nearly a life of nothing
from the tip of a finger I taste blood mixed with cocaine
bland is the mix of yesterday and tomorrow
still wearing this same skin marked in time I smell sorrow

As an angel she lays
My heart fails as the muse kisses a tear
She looked peaceful lying there
The sun caressing every strand of her jet black hair
Tinted in hues of blue by the sun
So peaceful she lay
A single butterfly approached
Dancing on the hint of a breeze
Stopping to rest on a bare shoulder
Barely casting a shadow
The blades of grass also danced in harmony with the breeze
Unknowing to the sonata of life that spun around
Yet she lay
So peaceful
I speak to her in whispers between the words
As if she could hear every one buried in roses
Lain on silken pillows of doubt
I let her know it will be alright
Let the sun sleep and the dark bring the night
Blue replaced by the gossamer tapestry of angels
In my hand I hold her everything
In my hand I hold a kiss
And in peace I close my eyes
And in whispers I breathe
And in life I know death
So peaceful she lay
In peace she lay

I whisper goodnight
The muse she returns to hold my heart
Coloured paper scattered on the table
From a tall glass drinking petals
My eye catches a glint in the corner of the room
Another scent drifts in on the moonbeam
Curtains flap haphazardly in the breeze
Allow the souls in to keep warm
Rooms fill of memories as echoes are etched into the walls
Maybe its the same old things I place in time
A thousand dreams caress the young at heart
And a tear brings me to cry a black heart
I can smell the fires that burnt a thousand years ago
I can see the flowers that you held in your hands
As we wept and said goodbye
Allow the shadows to close in now
I whisper goodnight

Ice
Your name written in blood
Left to mark these walls
A memory not forgotten
Left black and blue
Those that walk by
Hang their heads in shame
At the thought
Silent misgivings
Shadows pass the time
In a simple phrase
In a simple word
When all the rain is gone
Grey skies wash the streets
Paved in sorrow
Allow the truths to reveal
Silver tipped screams

Black Voodoo
She came down from the mountains
all dreamy and high
Silver gossamer threaded through her wings
a still beating heart breathed a sign
Nobody saw what lived beneath her skin
wound up like a loaded gun
Just below and beneath her eyes
Lived the ravens breath
Black Voodoo
I cut with broken glass
Black Voodoo
This womans got your name
Black Voodoo
Let me feel your taste
Black Voodoo
Its not your loving that she craves
the darkness that lives in her veins
Injected and sliced from the rusty blade
a love spell made from the youth of the insane
She returns from death a whisper glows
Lets taste the blood as it drips from the proclamation
Words not set in stone carved from flesh
Flesh be mine and scared in forever
Black Voodoo
I cut with broken glass
Black Voodoo
This womans got your name
Black Voodoo
Let me feel your taste

New Years Day
Mothers won't see their boys any more more
Women won't see there husbands walk through that door
Children won't have there daddy's for Christmas day
No more celebrations for the living on New Year's Day
Standing on the wharf watch the clouds wash in
Scanning the horizon looking for smoke stacks
Knowing there none to come
I'll be watching n waiting knowing I'll be alone
Watching for my dad knowing he'll be home on New Year's Day
Cry cry crying in the rain
Cry cry crying on New Year's Day
Mommy came down and wrapped her arms around so tight
We both sat quietly watching as rain hid the tears
Both of us knowing yesterday came to soon
We weren't the only ones as others waited for their man
In the rain

Begin
I sit alone and my muse is not
Red glows the end of my cigarette
In the dark I sit again
Focusing on the nothing before me
I flick unseen ash nonchalantly
Thoughts mix with acid and spin
Scratch at my forehead with thumb
I reach with my other hand
A half drunk mug of none
Lights dance in the distant haze
Marking time so slowly with me
Focus slightly smeared as I view
Tears smudge the rising sun
Another day I live to see
Another day I live to die
As blood of my blood stays on skin
Rust coats my wrists, begin
