Morticia

How many of us
Devastate the ones we love?
at least she warns them.

Shiny scarlet sign
Could she be more obvious?
Time is running out.

Hurry now and love.
Red sand falls with a vengeance.
Belly full of stars.

Dimes in my pocket
Forge another link
In the growing chain

Bells explode inside
Another broken
Foot steps in the grave

Too many red lights
Too much sound, too much white smoke
Sleeping on the job

BREAK

It has been a remarkably busy weekend, so I have taken a few days off.  I shall begin again on Monday.

Wake up!  The light is fading from your eyes
and soon I will be left here all alone.
I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise.

The time is near to part with your disguise,
cast off the only robes you've ever known.
Wake up!  The light is fading from your eyes.

Will I forgive the multitude of lies?
The angel's kiss will turn your flesh to stone.
I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise.

The air here is too heavy for goodbyes,
pregnant with every sob the wind has blown.
Wake up!  The light is fading from your eyes.

Is this the echo of your labored sighs?
The chisel of spirit escaping bone?
I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise.

The rattle of this dark soul as it flies
away from me can only be your own.
Wake up!  The light is fading from your eyes.
I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise.

Young girl, awash in enchantments
the magic of great journeys

Hands entwined, eyes full of oceans
a long and winding road

A heart is knit.  A heart unravels.
the tyranny of time

An alien land, a thousand voices
alone inside the din

The tiny mouth, demanding eternity
so many empty rooms

His whiskey smile, quivering flashbacks
a fool's gold promise

Wet pillow, waking nightmare
some deflected blows

A slamming door, clicking locks
another final straw

A heart is hardened.  A door opens
hands are always out

A fat grey cat, who used to be skinny
lounging on the porch.
