Night-Work
Stranded Without Gods V.1
Night-work...
I bend at it's whim and let the craze embrace my face
Beauty recites a time where innocence bloomed and curiosity warned...
...warned of a time when most things stayed...just that...curious
But night-work has shed me a true shape, unveiling scales of wanting beneath misleading writings...
Night-work...
I rise with the moon, and walk amongst the glimmering buildings of somber blue light...
Alleyways tight as the force beneath your thighs; a coaxing towards unrelenting compromise...
Night-work...
A eulogy for acceptance - a reality check for those hopelessly divine
I play with duality like an opaque marble, a coin standing upright, spinning, a never-ending spiral...
Two faces converging at the lips fighting for dominance, but the tongue is already sour...
And when the night-work begins, it doesn't matter which mouth is louder - in the end it's your heart we'll devour...

Tortured Soul
The soul careened blindly through a void where it scraped against the walls of a narrow tunnel, amassing a cumulative friction that created all the heat the devil would ever need to torment it. There was no light at the end, not even a fire. From the bottom a cold wind blew, and the clash of extremities spawned vapors of terror in the deadened and numbed appendage that was this strange, delirious, drunken consciousness.
