Default Insomnia

Insomnia

Romance awakens the unconscious
And in heartbreak it never sleeps
An insomnia of revelations
Shattered promises, we swore to keep

Paper tigers and Icarus wings
Fly to the sun, when the siren sings
Oedipus eyes to navigate the maze
False bravado, caught in the minotaur’s gaze

Your Prometheus Kiss
Stole the fire from my heart
The eagle is my friend
But you tear me apart

Luscious lips and Freudian slips
Red herrings lead me into your arms
Denial is a warm bed, and a lustful lover
On a night of cold truth

Default Stung by the Sunrise

Stung by the Sunrise

Sullen eyes, stung by the sunrise
Crestfallen lovers, under ominous skies
We lost our immortality today
Nine lives withered, and faded away

Precious memories of passion and romance
Wrapped in beautifully decorated cocoons
Safe from the bitterness of regret
And from being devoured, by the cruelty of time

Leeches lurking in sultry eyes
They covet intensely, and rarely compromise
I want to hear it crackle, and smell the cinders
Incarnate illusions, behind benevolent smiles

Part 2

Exiled connoisseur, of forbidden pleasures
Scarlet letters carved in flesh
Exploring ancient catacombs of the unconscious
Searching for past lives and forgotten lovers
Scattered throughout the sands of time

Piecing together fragmented memories
And mysterious dreams, veiled in shadows
Channeling abstract, and elusive sensations
To stimulate senses, no longer aroused
By the narrow spectrum of consciousness

Scavenging the obscure corners
Of the aficionado’s abandoned wasteland
Looking for the path to serenity
Tired legs and weary eyes wishing
To be home in your heart

Default Phantoms

Phantoms

Saw myself reflected in you
Thought I could stop my pain
By being your tourniquet

Tried so hard, to keep our cravings
From carving their way into consciousness
But they severed our serenity
And divorced our love from trust

Denial taught me how to lie
Found clever places
To hide from my shadow
And slip into illusion

Enchanted by envy
And enamored with vanity
Hubris led us down the spiral

Default Shedding Schisms

Shedding Schisms

Shedding skin at sunset
I succumb to my subconscious
And sell my soul to stimulate
Sullen and subdued senses

Savoring sensations, as I spiral
Into the seven seas
Where the severed serpent speaks of
The gold within my shadow

Starving for control, I slither into
The sanctuary of self-reproach
Safe from the sacrifice required
To heal the schisms

Default Denial

Denial

I feel the cat’s claws, digging into my tongue
When my reflection, asks who I am
I never mourned you
Just fed you to my shadow

Heartbreak led to hedonism
Created a cornucopia of denial
With neatly decorated lies
And cleverly crafted excuses

Disenchanted and desensitized
Desperately clinging to vanity
As insecurity starts to claw through

Speechless
Crawling back to my castle
Where phantom limbs
Caress romantic memories

Undertow (Swim Away)

You carved out my heart
But I sharpened the knife
Betrayal turned into control
When you begged for forgiveness

Sacrificed my dreams and desires
Thought I could love you, and you’d change
Enabled with love, while reason atrophied
Second chances disguised as compassion

You could smell loneliness
Like blood in the water

Caught in the undertow
I saw your fin approaching
But didn’t have the self esteem
To swim away
