A Nighttime Companion of Solitude

Light on your skin
We walk down this path again
Time in your eyes
All the fight inside you dies
Fall into mine
Wear the mask of the divine

Come to me
Drown by the sea

Open your skin
All the flowers in me spin
Touch tongues to vine
Stars in veins and earthlings shine

We walk the shore
Like a thousands times before
Gifts of breath
A quiet kiss hid in our death
Seas swallow tears
Salt & blood birthing our fears
Light on your skin
We walk down this path again

Human Failure: Do You Bleed?

All Rights Reserved © Lycia

For the mind that is a famine

the human a savorless beast

but human , do you bleed?

_______________

Bright light

Dark Night

_________________

Hope to hope we escape

Fear to fear we build

Feast for the saviorless

Fires for the martyr

The tastes of purity

Blind the insanity

__________________

This our mind, the vacant dream

the human a vacuum of defeat

but human, will you bleed?

_____________________

We stand in the corridor of nowheres

Facing the mirrors of somewheres

but human, can you bleed?

Will you breathe?

_______________________

Lies the air

Deaths throne bare

Dancing the night to maybes

Braving the beast to save me’s

but Human

I need to know…

do you bleed?

_______________________

Drops of blood

Line the hallways of half truths

Knives to stop the vanities

You will always drink the poison

Destruction,

this the fragments last vermouth

I wear these wounds

So that you cannot perish

This prison for love

A fools errand Marriage

________________

I wear this face

Filled with darkness Beauty

To erase poisoned arrows

Caressed of your sorrows

My endmost duties

__________________

You run , I walk

The Sun, The dark

__________________

I face the only fate

That you turn not to dust

This lonesome quest

Will to Become

Betrothed in Departures lust

__________________

I bleed, you pledge

Shadows will forever abate

This candor,

I leap, you plunge

Truths steep edge , sentience asunder

_________________________

I sin, your skin

Vital thorn, will not warn

________________

Impending lies

Soft the lips most hollow

Life, a loss

Inhuman follows

____________________

I wear these wounds

But you shall surely perish

_____________________

This mutilate of love,

the reproductive death

The Splendored Reliquary,

What wound?

Oh, so above .

Where are you now my love?
My sweet one
Where have you gone oh my love?
I’m so alone

I only think of you
And it drives me down
I only dream of you

Come here
My lover
I’ll keep you
I will change you
Come here
My slave
You will live
Forever
Screaming
Crying
My lover
With you
I’m gone
At last

I’ll come to you, take my hand
Hold me again, please take my hand

Who are you?
What were you?
My beauty
I can’t tell
How I feel
How I felt
You have paid
For your
Unkindness
With You
I’m done
At last

Please hold me now my love
Where are you now?, oh my sweet love
