Wild thing, come to me

I have the urge to run away 

From dusk to dawn 

Can you hear what I'm saying

Do you know where the wilds things go?

Give me your love 

I want your life 

While I cling to your lies 

My body aches 

Can you hear what I'm saying 

Dusk to dawn head to toe

My heart sinks 

But here I go 

Bruises, blood, spit, laughter 

Crying, gun shots 

Laughter, tears of gold 

A thousand lies 

A beautiful disguise 

Can you hear what I'm saying 

I asked you not to go 

And yet, here I go 

Do you know where the wild things go 

Give me your love 

I want your life 

While you cling to my lies 

Body aches 

I don't even know what I'm saying

But I really wanna fall 

In love 

With you 

Where all of the wild things are 

When seeing more reveals even less

You're bitter 

Words don't mask the sweat 

I see you bask my words 

But you try to hide instead 

Of going with the flow 

Like the kind of life you say you know 

You say you're free 

But I've learned to overcome 

Any thing that's been done to me 

I know you taste my love 

It's dripping from your lips 

I'm impulsive and you know my lies

I know the taste of regret 

It kisses me goodnight

you're too much in control 

Of me 

And I of you 

You know the taste of regret

Because we're too delicious 

To forget 

 

ALWAYS

The days were unexpected
affronts
some catastrophic
others less dramatic
yet, all substantial
and in the process
it was always a continuation
of powerful, disorderly emotion
it was always in the borderlines
of love and
hate
passion and
obsessional seduction
and nothing short of
attrition
and when the sun
kissed the world
goodbye
we kissed each other
goodnight.

Skeletons

You slept with skeletons 

and I still wake up with dismissive attention 

You beg for forgiveness 

but you're being forgotten 

you were too intoxicated to see 

anything other than

those desolated days you lived in

time can only tell 

but you're still dragging me into a fog 

you left me in hollywood

yearning and writing on empty walls

i'm wasting my mind 

because you decided on the one you left behind

your mind was confined 

and I still have that sick twisted smile

due to the anticipation of your yearning

I thought i’d be here for the rest of my life

but I’m gone so here’s your kiss goodbye. 

Venomous silk

Shattered faith

On broken wine glasses

Emotions revealed in black and white

Starting fights

To keep the numbing out

Listening to the white noise

From frequencies of heart beats

It's the sweaty palms

That make it hard to hold on

With eyes burning like fire

Tears neglected

To remind the soul of the journey

That's to come

of what's left to fight

And that's not to leave

An erratic route of

Unwillingness

Obsession

Delirious

Compulsion

Manifested

Empowerment

A bestowal of uncanny blessings

Sent from an angel

Who's fallen

Once or twice

And has obtained such venomous lips

Yet, determined and capable

in delivering such a silky kiss.

Confessions on eggshells

I wanted to be with you 

Until I really saw you,

that is, until I let you in.

And then, I realized 

I didn't want to be your dream girl,

The one walking on eggshells 

within the yolk of all that I am, 

all that I was, and will be 

trying to be careful not to wake you

from the state of reality that you reside in.

I'm far too wild for that.

My favorite form of reality is love,

the altered state of it

and you, fire,

me, water, 

We start a chain reaction 

with our thoughts 

and it's never a good one;

because you say talk is cheap 

but you fail to enunciate. 

El nino

I remember that night 

The night it decided to rain 

A thunderstorm you could say 

We stood there in our own little paradox 

An ice chest full of warmth 

We latched on to each others ugliness 

Because it was a friendly reminder 

That even the ugly can love and be loved 

Be so desperately desired 

And able to desire so desperately 

We needed to hear the answers

Our questions revealed to us 

And now 

The rain has stopped 

California in a drought 

We're somewhere in between 

Love and abuse 

A silver lining of what was 

And what twill be 

A melting pot of the past, the new and the used 

They're tempting us to join their teams 

The gray and the happy 

I watch the work of my words define me 

The words that fight till the end 

And you, babe, my perfect punching bag 

I've got one hand on your heart 

And my wine all over the floor 

You asked me to turn up the volume

to keep the white noise out

I told you that it was 

"The silence of the vinyl that touches the soul"

I wish I didn't have to 

But I told you so

And if I'm not already gone 

Ive got one foot out of the door 

it wasn't me 

it never was 

it was you
