Falling in Darkness
Smothering every existing thought...
In shadows I hide, weeping yet dreaming
On my bed I cry, wondering and seething...
Another war--another break in peace
Most thought Vietnam was bad enough...
Snake tongues inscribed on words
flowing over thin paper glass rims...
Tongue lashing, eyes piercing
Face slapping words of shame...
I'm in a bad mood right now, here's some things...
What beauty lies in Thy eyes
Swarming bees of honey cries...
Light the candles of our heart
For love alone shines throughout...
A garden so brilliant against other pallid flowers
Comes in view at this untimed hour...
Scarlet rose lies in my cheeks
A bloom of your heart...
Dripping down the red blood churns
down my chin the skin it burns...
Through the ghostly forest
and wandering eyes...
