An indian woman would cover us with a blanket,
but she won't now. The sun has set. The song has ended.
A poor man would see brightness in our eyes,
but he won't, for the world is blind when our night arrives.
Let me connect the dots; make a picture out of nothing,
a word means a lot when you're looking for salvation,
a poem means so much when you're in love with death and lust;
And I've been merely trying to fill in the days
with sex and drama and nicotine. It's been years again. I grow
old on my own notions. I grow pale on my own watercolours.
Let them drip over the sink, let me have a sip of that,
let me try and nibble lips that
Wrap your legs around me
so my whole body can breathe
into a kiss on your skin; I fold
my heart and slide it through the space
between your body and mine; this message
I send, this feeling that blooms,
like a clock, beating, inside the envelope
all my blood turns into a colour that reminds me
of a sea I once floated on; an innocence lost
that together we try to find; into this world
of mistakes and lessons learned, let us breathe
deeply in our sleep, with your legs wrapped around me
and my heart in a box, sleeping between us, holding on
to yours,
And I breathe into this kiss,
a letter so broken, like my words, so worn,
but if
The shadow path takes us somewhere
not just anywhere, just this nowhere
where dreams are shattered against a wall.
The shadow path I take photographs on
takes me to this wall I die against
shot three times against myself, me only.
We lied to make us feel alive,
better. Just that, love, because we shared
bodies too often, accidents we could not bare
to make sense of, randomness in its best, just like
when you pick out a dress to wear
and the umbrella to keep you dry, we should have
just kept inside, and never walk in the rain.
And we lied to make us feel, better yet,
to let us live this accident, just that, the bodies
we shared were too sore, too broken down by
all certainty in love, we wear our heart out
in the rain, and hope for it to be picked up, when
we should have just kept it inside, and never dare
to kiss.

There's never beauty without feeling,
there's never emotion without pain,
there's never tears without motive.
There's never silence without noise,
or we'd be deaf to the world outside.
There's never hiding without fear,
or we'd be constantly in the dark.
There's never thirst without missing,
or we'd have drowned by now.
There's never inside a place with no windows,
only curtains that are too dirty.
There's never a door you cannot open,
only locks we've lost the key to.
There's never blood without a cut, a bruise,
there's never nothing without having had something.
There's never a message without a meaning,
there's never a word
