DIAMONDS Creaming

DIAMONDS Creaming, or:

Shooting Diamonds

Invading… Baiting… & the vibrating…

If I’m passed would you be life-saving…

Blind thing, sugar-fling, dapper’d owl creaming…

Could I cross religions for your ikon dreaming?

Trophy time on the belt and the chips all dealt

And the notches on the bed: I shoulda quit while I’s ahead

Stranding… Landing… three plus ten branding…

If I’m alone could I still call it standing…

Sweet thing, sweet cling, little ole flannel thing…

If I stick around can we make it to the morning?

It’s the pull of my want and the wait drawn out

Or the blade of that will in the skill of your cut

Mud-bathing… Obligating… yodel-ay-hee-haying…

If I’m stuck degenerating & tambourine playing…

Black sea, heart beam, beetle-green bottle gleam…

If I shot diamonds at least maybe then you’d see me?

Left prints with your paws and stretched out my jaw
Left a tiny bit of drizzle dripping right abouts the middle

It’s the shine of my light to the grim of your knight

And our mystic-ass dance on a pearly-white expanse

Grand

grand

I want to be the man with brawn

Who stays all right when all goes wrong

It’s just the luck of the draw I guess

I really couldn’t tell you why

I want to keep the most control

And not allow you to take hold

It’s only shakes from the willow tree

I could get lost in your sky

But now there’s this and that and then

I cannot keep them in again

It’s just a cotton tulip show

To say I’m done’s a lie

I want to stay the one who's strong

The Iron Heart never melted down

Then my eyes began to flood

Right as your well ran dry

But now there’s who and with and when

And everlasting tales to spin

Grandest illusion of them all

And you really couldn’t tell me why

He said, “I can be your dream,
but it will only last tonight.
Remember when you fall asleep,
I’m gone at crowing light.”
I said, “You may think it’s me
you flee with cosmic rays.
But I am more than solar flares, believe,
I am the light of day.”

He told me, “If I take you there,
don’t hope for it to last.
I’m only good for what you see,
and my heart’s made of glass.”
I told him, “I am blower’s friend.
I’ll shatter upside-down,
the heart you hold inside your chest,
while wearing Maple crown.”

He whispered, “I will press your keys,
the white ones and the black.
The song won’t hold much levity, &
I will hold it back.”
I whispered, “I am not the keys,
I'm the entire thing.
I’m notes, I’m bars, I’m staff, I’m clef,
I’m spaces in between.”

He said, “Now I will play the roles,
of whoever you desire,
to get the wants that I would have,
yes I will be the liar."
I told him, “All the parts you play?
Seductive, I confess.
But the truth I am, the tales you spin?
Unparalled, at best."

He growled, “When this is over,
because for certain it shall be,
I’ll leave you in a wake of tears,
and you’ll be on your knees.”
I responded, with an eyebrow raised,
“I loathe to drop this bomb, but
in the end they all crawl back,
and curl up in my palm.”

The Trick to Angels

The Trick to Angels

the Spectres of love

shadowboxing in

poised to fight demons

boots laced to win

bags under eyes

purples & blues

worn from the weeping

stressed out from you

was WILD at first

fire not tamed

now I lie maudlin

prerequisite hate

I’ll go to your land

and trace beelines down

rob honey from hive

and burn to the ground

it’s my secret wish

you will not deny

both my secret wings

I won’t let you find

thought you were the Trick

a new happiness

angel to sins

if I had to guess

yet I got it wrong

I can’t call it love

the Trick to angels is:

you were never one

Beast.

Beast

so watch us all take bets.

don’t give me a bite of your lust & flesh.

strut what I strut in a blood brotherhood,

I long to make some new debts.

watch every plane crash down into flames,

when Dragon brings his shame.

all Washingtons and sir Benjamins will prove:

I chase the Beast into the night.

I can get higher than you thought,

in the tempest of your drive.

Beast runs from me into the night.

this is no lie.

turn with the jackal, carnivate

my way to the top of the chain.

Lotus, a fungus, a dry heady thrust,

my drum beats tap in your brain.

even the ax can’t cut down the pain

when it chopchopchops away.
if Washington were sir Benjamin you'd lose:

I chase your Beast into the night.

I can be horror if you want,

in the fable of your life.

Beast runs from me into the night.

this is no lie.

I will light your way down

and then,

I will guide your way out

 of it.

I chase the Beasts, brother, into the night.

and I’ll do all that you’ve brought,

before I slip out of sight.

Beasts run from me into the night

this is no lie this is no lie this is no lie.

Like, Only

Like, Only

Only smiling, because that’s what they want
Simply dying; I can’t have what I want
A paper chain link fence
A subtle hand blueprint
A little sideways myth
But you knew what I meant

Only playing, it’s what all boys do
Just reframing; me & you, us two
A furry-lipped debate
A mountainous heartbreak
A little lust enflamed
But this is what you made

Only diving, in an oyster’s shell
I’m surviving, in my strung up hell
A rigid sign thirteen
A post beneath the sheet
A stroll down ego street
But you know what I mean

HEART.BEAT

HEART.BEAT

It destroys me silent in a washed up way.
Its goes straight for mine eyes; I cannot remain.
In the same heart.beat I feel fueled and then fucked.
In the same landscape I lose Rabbit’s foot luck.
It rips apart muscles when you speak and not speak.
It preys upon prey when it’s believed to be weak.
In the same heart.beat I am golden I’m rock.
In the same mistake I gifted keys for my locks.
It’s a drill-bit coat with a blanket-all cold.
It’ll cover my wounds with a goat-made fold.
In the same heart.beat you give life you give death.
In the same caskette I will tend to my bed.
It’s an eat by day and a stalk by night.
It’s a carry me above by a raven’s winged flight.
In the same heart.beat I felt love I felt brave.
In the same happenstance you snatched it away.
In the same heart.beat I am awed I am mute.
In a believe it or not, the only thing I want is you.
