Inoculate my sins with benevolence
So I may scalpel the larvae again
I want to waltz on another tightrope
Above the spit and glass
If it would get you to glance at the time
So good to see you sleeping untouched
While the infant lies in a crib you never owned
With every fine stitched grin
Scarecrows stand tatterdemalion
Twitching along the spoiled husks
Thank father for keeping the trip wire alive
Shotguns shattering the cute night
Amber colored dreams paint the mind
Drug addled Cheshire Cat goes for a last drive
How many blames can one carve up
Even the knife smiles at the tattoos
The sheets are stained
A violent rose hue
And barb wire kisses
Crows bring on the lonely night
Blink your gauzed eyes twice
And I'll bleach my own
I'll never give what you ask for
It all just makes it that easier
To walk into the desert forever

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Made me wait on bated breath
Giving nothing but a smile and a lit cigarette
Fresh scent addiction for the veins
Lachrymal thoughts for a third eye
Each sour grape sucking my lips dry
Glassware thoughts come in droves
Just a Kitten in the leaves
With nothing up her sleeve
This feline has such a poetic warning label
Water voice and a golden stare
Giving levity as a gasp a fresh air
Still a heart will nervously warm
Rhett says he doesn't give a damn
I'll stay to squeeze her hand
As she cries at the end
Buy her Draco's star with her stuffed toys
A pursuit she is for all the girls and boys
And all she wants is a love affair with the world
