I troll the bar
Just another night
A pretty girl
A drink in hand
Looking for a good time
And I'm lost
A shade that haunts this ground
The same old line
Repeated so many times
The bartender has it memorized
" can I buy you a drink, perhaps a little ice..and maybe afterwards, we ...
I lost a half
I split in two
My head and heart
Ran me through
They came for me
They went to her
And shards of gold
That shone in sun
In emerald glass
And topaz melted
Lit
And were no more...
I think of her
But never say it
In the long nights
Of sweat and heat
It's her I see
Underneath me
And then it breaks
Reality through
And I pray to Venus
To spare my soul
Forever tossed
Wind on wind
Out of wind
Breathless
And lost...
She blows in like a warm breeze after a summer rain
The air scented with all the flowers the water had touched
Some women stop you in your tracks
Sirens in full raiment
Oozing of sugared rum
They stop your heart midbeat
Its music hopelessly cut
But she stops it for the briefest of moments
A ...
It started like an old country song
all nostalgia and craven
craving
and full of lust
laced with whiskey
and a breath of fresh air
She was my camera girl
I her Glasses Boy
And half a world away
from home
We loved
It started like the first kiss
all drumrolls and expectation
We said &...
I've got to stop
Intoxicated
Addicted
To u
Your voice
Your eyes
Ive got to drown u
In vodka
And whiskey
And rum
Numb myself
Prepare myself
For calamity
Insanity
Wounds torn
And road maps to the soul
I've hungered
And cried
And begged
Pride broke
I am...
Its been a bad day, in a bad week, in a bad year and I have that feeling
That feeling that says hit him
That feeling that creeps up on your eyes
A pinkish reddish haze
A taunting voice in your ear
Honey sweet like decay
Rip that one apart
Pick the weak spots
and shatter that kid
push her

....pour it bartender
Or just give me the bottle
No I don't want to die
Of course I'll pay the bill
...pour it bartender
Let my soul lighten
Let me get some sleep
I need to forget
What should've been
....pour it bartender
Do what you're paid to do
I want it neat

I dance
An endless ballet
dips and curves and leaps
ripped out of space and time
And any joy the dancing brought
Killed by the repetition
and the wait behind the stage
A gray area
no light
and heartbreak waiting
and dancing
and waiting again
Because that's all it is
Life and love and p...
