stale cliches

How hard it must be..
to fill your heart with
stale cliches,

because you cannot
grasp the meaning of
what it Means to feel
"The Flame."

what it felt like

what it Felt Like Yesterday.
_____________________

I'm sorry Love,..but
(to keep it minimalistic)
I've simply forgotten
what Happy Was...

How it Feels To Smile
in Mirth (or Joy)...

or appreciate the Beauty
of A Summer Day...

but You must Believe me
when I Say:

"I Never wanted it
to End This Way."

(With Two Hearts Dead
before they Hit the Dirt,
and Not a Soul around who
Cares to Pray.)
________

I see The Point of your
Hatred,

but it is a Pointless Point
which only Points in A
Single Tormented Direction...

DOWN...

So Far down you can
no longer be Grateful
that your Heart will
ALWAYS be Sacred!!

(Though Broken Sadly
By A Clown.)

__

I Imagine that My Words
no Longer fill Your Head...

(and Damn does that ever
Feel So Empty..)

as you sit daily contemplating
me Dead!

(yet even then I still feel
Blessed you would Consider
Me An Enemy.)

_

I'm sorry Love...but
(to be Honest)
there isn't much more
I can say..

My Head is a Cave
where Shadow Dance...
Miracles Die,..

and Every Day feels
like The End Upon
Us!

where I just wish I could
Remember!

(what it Felt Like
Yesterday...)

the purity of hate

The Purity of Hate.
______________

I can honestly
say I hate you
too..with a Purity.

For all of
the deception
and falsity...

The Midnight
Games played
against hapless
Minds.

( who do not
realize the mire
into which they're
jumping.)

Oh well though.

Better Them than
Me.

(I suppose.)

 lol

about last night (if only in my dreams)

About Last Night.
(If Only In My Dreams.)
____________________

Oh..about Last Night..

I know now why they
call it a Blind Date.

(for I was Blinded
by Your Beauty at
First Sight.)

You have A
very Hungry
Stare.

The kind that
could Drink One's
Soul in in A
Matter of Seconds.

(and leave it
drowning in
your Lone
Hearts' Glare.)

I don't know
where this will
lead,

but I will try
my Best to be
Cautiously
Optimistic,..

Because Last
Night you showed
me What I Need!!

(with the spontaneity
of your Kisses.)

You
(My Sweet)
are one of
The Loveliest
Walking Tragedies
I Have Ever seen,..

and I Hope
(To Heavens
Fleet) We
Meet again!

(IF Only In My
Dreams.)

The Extremes of Love.

the extremes of love.
_______________

Two Forces constantly
gravitating between
negative and Positive
Extremes..

Creating An absurd
polarity.

(which strangely
excites me.)

I imagine (at times)
that her lips would
be like Fists..

Throwing Kiss-Punches
to defeat me during
moments of dispute.

Revealing A Self
Defensive Rage,
which leads to
amorous bliss!

(or..chaos creating
it's own Version of
The Truth.)

But while such
alternating currents
attract, they also
stick together until
They Explode.

And I truly
do not want
that.

(thus beauty
should leave the
beast alone.)

in this hell i make

In This Hell I Make.
________________

I suppose there's
soon to be another
Romantic Death
Match.

Cruel words,
(and soulful
ironies) exchanged
between two
Flames.

(still wondering
Why Love Their
Drove them Mad.)

I know this
Reality well
enough..because
(in Part) I
perpetuate it.

I just seem
to have a knack
for making
Roses smell
like Shit..

and I am
an Addict..
make no
Mistake.

A junkie
for This Love
I should
Forget!..

Resigned to
Chaotic Fate!!

Yet..Forever
I shall gladly
burn!!

(In This Hell
I Make.)

the ode of nevermore.

The Ode of Nevermore.
________________

Ah..Forget about
Forevermore My
Sweet Adored.

(since "Nevermore"
now seems to
answer best The
Question I implored.)
_

In Dreams I
see The Mortal
End of Me,..

Standing Lonely
in God's Courthouse
Weeping,..

and never were
More Tragic
Scenes so Laughed
at By an Angel Jury!

(especially when I
tried to Plead The
Insanity of Being
Born "Half-Guilty.")

_

I can only Hope
Beyond Hope,

( My Hangman's
Rope)

that I never
again lend my
Heart to thee,..

for All of My
Love went up
in smoke!

(Torched by
The Hateful Flames
of Destiny.)
_

so Forget
Forevermore
My ONCE
Adored..

(For Nevermore
now seems The
Answer I was Always
Looking For.)
