A Pleading Heart

There's something about home I seem to love and hate
Can't wait to get out but I can't seem to escape
And all I seem to do is circle 'round the same old drain
I gotta world of hurt, can you dull it with cocaine?
Nope, I tried it out, hurt me more than you can know
Til I found my skeleton at the bottom of the bowl
Now it's dancin' all around, n' scarin' kids at night
Scarin' mom and dad with its monstrous appetite

Where's my skin run off to?
Why is it so thin now?
Everything you say just needles its way in now
There's so much love inside,
Can't seem to get it out,
And you won't hold my hand
While I figure this shit out

Can't hold a rolling stone, can't cup a shadow either
But are we ok now that we've had ourselves a breather?
I miss you when you're here, but more when we're apart
Now I'm left to wonder if you gave me back my heart
Well I don't want it now, you're the one who figured out
it was broken, patched, and blackened by every hair-brained doubt
The blackest part of me is oozing everywhere
I'd like to bleed it dry just to show you that I care

Where's my skin run off to?
Why is it so thin now?
Everything you say just needles its way in now
There's so much love inside,
Can't seem to get it out,
And you won't hold my hand
While I figure this shit out

The Moon's Lament

Many a lover swears by my light
Or offers me up, to their lady's delight
But what, for I, could another bring?
I am the moon
You can't give me to me.

Many a couple meets under my glow
And embraces as the Autumn winds blow
But what if I, up in the sky, grow cold?
I am the moon
I am much too large to hold.

Many a babe is brought into this world
As my lonely form over miles is hurled
But what of my daughters? What of my sons?
I am the moon
And I have no one.

Rain catcher

I can't seem to
catch my thoughts they are
falling down a spiral,
lifted by a tornado

Landing in soil, like seed
germinating at first,
only to explode into a forest:

Dense, diverse, dripping,

Full of life and I see
how lucky I am,
surrounded –
embraced by this beauty,

By you.

Your confession started this
wind that took my mind;

Your fall for me and
our mutual understanding and
the love from those we've chosen to love
– a network of all I ever wanted:

Rational thinking,
understanding,
and feelings, abundant as the rain

In a forest.

Melusine

Winged woman with the hair of filament crystal,
Amethyst-eyed woman from the deep,
Sink your teeth into me, oh, beautiful…
My heart rests for you
On the rocky ocean shore.
Beating still for you
Though the body is no more.
Woman with the golden glow of skin.
Teeth of the finest diamonds, pointed, grinning.
Anything for your love, any dark sin.
Stifle their cries, my dear
I can’t take them any longer.
Why aren’t you here?
Only Love, Love, only hunger…
