It hurts.
Is it me talking to myself
Seconds, minutes, hours are not our friends, my love
They're poisonous illusions
that maintain the smiles on our faces
Tricking us shamelessly and then running away forever and never to be found again
-
And as much as I'd love to get myself lost, counting stars, in the wide universe with you holding my hand, forever
A cold shiver make a tear or two drop with such bold gravity, making the forever of the blossoms feign into a harsh winter of deception
Whom am I in love with?
A fiction, a fantasy?
A shadow that never disappeared even when the sun is right above its carrier?
The pain that I crave
Only for awakening?
A numbness in which I'd remain
To hide my fear of emptiness,
Or the warmth of two lips filled with passion
And eyes blinded by damed love?
In warm arms we stay,
Sheltered, safe from stormy nights
and foggy mornings,
Sipping from a fragrant wine of love.
We watch the moon, the lips
the eyes, the skin, the shadows on the walls,
And we breathe each other's air
And we taste each other's soul
And we hear each other's heart
And then there's the cry of longing.
Later, it might seem like a static frame,
as well as the arms might seem
to become too tight, the air too sultry
and the room too messy.
So we step outside,
in cold rain and pungent wind,
in trivial eyes of trivial people,
vain and unforgiving,
that would overcrowd such gray landscape.
At once,
the thought of them arms calls us back,
because there's no bloom outside,
but let it be inside,
from where we can watch the gray palette
only for our own amusement.
Now here's the real cry of longing.
misery and sadness get me so high that at some point i don`t even know whether i wanna cry or fuck. rip me apart entirely as i digg deeper and deeper inside you, your eyes, your ears, your nose your mouth, your soul. i am photons, electrons inside or outside i am a parasite feeding on your pain and joy. i am a virus, glitching your OS. i do bad and i want worse i am a broken machine that will explode if you plug it in so you`d better thrown me in the trash before i blow your whole circuit. intoxicate me with hate before i drain your last drop of sanity.
The fire is not completely put out yet
Little sparks of it still lighting up the room
So dim and warm enough for another two hours
Though, the night is long and cold as never
And the snow is heavy upon every living being
So shall we throw more wood into the fire
And banish them cold shivers from our bodies?
But we are running out of it,
and ember too.
What are we now going to do,
until the day comes along with it's sunlight,
to cast away our freezing agony?
you don`t like my face, do you sweetie?
you can`t even look me in the eye,
even the sound of me is just so discordant,
so unpleasant,
like a scratched and way too old vinyl;
still the thought of me is too disturbing:
what am i doing tonight, what am i about to feel, to smell, to taste?
i`m not worth that bite of cherry lips,
nor the sweetness of those honey sips.
but now, i`ll give you this:
she drains me whole with such thirst,
like that first swallow of wine,
after crossing the sultry desert.
and love and lust scattered `round my bed
and she's breathing out my scent
while her juice is moisture to my hands.
but you go back now to howling at the Moon,
escorted by your hate -
sounds to me just like those stray female dogs,
in heat, barking on the streets, around midnight,
calling for mates.
i`d shoo you away, if i had the time
but i`m too busy with fucking your ex.
you cunt.
I sat down with my back against the wall
Losing heat to them freezing bricks
Till I felt like sleeping, so I had to crawl
Across the room, to my empty tedious bed.
It was something wrong in there
Besides the ache that's piercing through my head
I could feel it everywhere
A state of mind, a bit of paranoia
Which was welcoming despair.
I was breathing in and out, hissing
But the oxygen wouldn't fill my lungs
And my sens of smell went missing
For I think it got stuck onto your neck.
The longing was miserable and fierce
And the guilt was tearing up my guts
Or any kind of joy or inner peace.
All I thought about that night was you,
Your breath, your look, your warmth,
Your touch, your voice, your mouth
Your gentleness and your embrace
Your silly jokes and your caress.
On a different note,
a naggy fear was chasing me -
Of losing you, way too early
Out of foolishness and immaturity.
And now I have this urge to cry,
Sunken in your arms and looking in your eyes.
Soft and bitter drop of scathing liquor
Dripping down the edge of a crystal glass
Warm and tremendous ups and downs
Of a wicked tip of tongue
And a stuffy moan breaking the silence
Of a forbidden night and too unbalanced,
As the glass breaks into pieces
To a rhythm held by kisses.
Tho, there's still more than half of bottle left
Of that liquor that's burning down your chest,
Asking and awaiting to be drained
So, drain it till the last drop,
And don't you ever stop
There are many other bottles
in the closet
Late in the night, after every single drunken creature went to sleep
Tight and cozy, between the sheets, fallen into dreams too deep
Not even conceiving what might happen to the girls next door,
In the room they spilled a little bit of vodka on the floor.
So they walked towards the bed, with silent playful moves
Like they`re dancing to some old and rusty blues;
And as they tease each other with their fingers and their lips
tons of butterflies would hatch from among of honey sips.
The lust grew stronger, fueled by femininity and grace
And finally, she was watching famished her lover's pretty little face.
So she shoves her fingers into that tempting sweetest muff
And her woman moaned like she couldn`t get enough.
Now she puts her hand upon her lover`s fragile throat,
That faigned humility, in a way that made her float
and she`s dripping wet at the landscape of her kingdom
Too aroused by the thought she's both her woman and her victim
"Look at you, my fragile one.
You`re my victim. You`re a pawn.
I could kill you right away.
I could make you all astray.
I could steal away your breath forever.
After all, you`re flesh and bones
A feast for me, your blood to devour.
I could crush you with two stones.
Look at you, my vulnerable being.
In my hands you`re so appealing.
I could kill you within a minute,
your world and everything that`s in it"
---
As her fantasy was lightning up her eyes like hell
A moment of lucidity hit hard and broke the spell,
and the devil within her turned to nothing else
But a dreadful thought that would not make any sense
To her naive lover, who had her arms for her wide open
So with tears she seals this fantasy that may remain unspoken
Ghost Story
What is addiction compared to a cold night
in each other's arms,
compared to a neck and chest kiss,
compared a lip bite,
compared to your breath in my ear, hampered by too much booze,
compared to the feeling I get when your skin gets goosebumps just the moment I get to the highest point of satisfaction?
What's madness compared to us?
While a tear is drying out in the corner of the eye
A state of fear is tuning a minute into eternity
And I cannot stand the cold that's dripping down my spine
as the clock is ticking slower than a dead man's heart.
I would drink from a ghastly bottle
Or I'd swallow up the darkness knowing that I might start to rot from the inside
Only to kill the feeling that you might be fighting an abusive, massive thought,
Surrounded all by silence.
Let me hear you cry, at least
And you might take, as well, my greatest sword
To mutilate and crucify the tear-thirsty demon.
Skulls Carved in Mother of Pearl Shells by Gregory Halili
Behold those who have never felt love
Gaze upon their lumpishness;
They might point at the moon above
And with voice too soft and powerless
They might tell you
"Look at it, how beautiful and bright!
With such nobility it's caressing our nights!
And it's witnessing our darkness and our depths
But still it shines before our every step.
How come we don't adore it every time?
Or us ungrateful creatures are too selfish
And way too foolish to even realize
That its priceless spark is a blessing to our miserable lives"
And there you are, absent, still and quiet
Listening to their doleful and pathetic elegy
While they're wondering if you're aware
of their pitiful confession.
Cellini, Perseus with the Head of Medusa
