There Must Be Ways To Find Hell

Did you ever have something so good
you thought that was it?
No matter what tricks someone
showed you
you thought that was it
So what do I care?
people form their judgments
in record time
Love as a strategy
feelings are chess pieces
engaged in warfare
We can only blame ourselves
So I guess we didn't care
in the first place

Not to be detached
Existing despite the cold wind
Irrevocable
Fused
unable to slip away
down the winding path
Head to head
encircling each other
without rules
Focused and faithful
beyond the social tyranny
eyes grasping boldly
as if to touch each other
Speechless

Transfixed
Sudden disarray of thought
Let me guide you
out of your fading melancholy
and down the streets of restlessness
Let us be reckless
pushing against the constraints
ignoring the shackles of illusion
Take a taste
feel the red stain
your smile is rouge
tempting the senses
Drag it out of me why don't you?
the way I drag it out of you

Try to identify my lie
it is mixed with the truth
as if from a demon
None of us are sheltered from sin
it makes us human
I can see the fire in you
and feel the heat
Take me by the hand
guide me to the flame
the pain blends with pleasure
You feel their sorrow
but do what you must
Take these open wounds
Suck the life out of them

You are out there
languid in the darkness
striking in the moonlight
Open the gates of remembrance
witness the infliction of scars
reach for the beauty
When I have a rare unselfish moment
sometimes I wish you had an easier life
The talons of the bird of prey
are exposed
Ripping into nubile flesh
making love with the willing
Surrendering the last vision
in a desperate dream

The stillness is dark and inviting
flesh is soft
hair is lush
The taste of vomit as we kiss
does not dissuade me
What are we without language
but animals of instinct
I found my way to the altar
meeting no resistance
Experiencing irresistible pleasures
drowning in desire
youth unleashed
I would have sold my soul
for five minutes more

Devotion
does the night really burn?
Or is it only your eyes
lighting the fire in my intestines
Are you advocating the murder of my dream?
take a few steps back
think about it once more
We all passed into this world
making our way beyond the thighs
The crisp cool night air
brings me back into focus
A focus that I preserve
only for you
Because I would rather be blurred

The sound tears through the night sky
but I am left unmoved
Pummel the air with ferocity
I am unmoved
Give me a reason
let her bleed if she must
There is something fragile
in her breath
that is vindicated in her spirit
Your blood flows through my veins
an ancient mystery is your soul
City in the desert
unlock your fury
let it wash over us

The savagery was expressed
it was a red beacon in the harbor
lighting up the night sky
with feelings of wrath
as two ships passed in the water
barely colliding
scraping each others' bows
It was time to pull each other up
from the choppy waves
Shelter each other
from discontent
The world was deranged enough
there was no need
to add to the disorder
