["Nothing is more certain than that worlds on worlds, and spheres in spheres, stretch behind and beyond the actually seen" - E Carpenter, The Drama of Love and Death]

Speak my pain, c'mon scoundrel

Fears under the fearless surface,
Eyes stare everywhere
A lazy man's load of envy
Stands still somewhere

I saw redemption in you
And rushed to kiss it's ghost
One kiss of cloven tongue,
Before the poison overdosed

Make it painless, inject me a remedy

Absynthe twin stars,
Unforgiving switchblade screen
Looking like revenge against murder,
Merely reflecting what they've seen

I know the lines and shadows in your face
Soul-searching view won't settle

Cast the twilight of my days
In the most depraved of ways
Bordered to what is humane
Your eyes promise me pain

Make it painless, inject me a remedy,
But there wasn't place for all of it, leaking out all over me

Vital pyres, fatal fires, insatiable animal
Intimidating me
As you set out your hounds,
Assaulting my lucidity
Look askance
