Alcohol like water – a universal conduit;
now brings forth the hearts deepest truths
without question to will or consequence -
as playful friends remember their youth.
We take to the streets in the cool afternoon
as in creeps the night and stars and moon;
with that vivid distress stretching across sky
in oranges and pinks - both beautiful to eye.
This troubled dreamer lies there in bed,
now scratching at his empty, weary head;
wondering why it is - the world is so,
and why it is - that he’s feeling low.
The tides of this seven year love have kept me here, Gozo;
prisoner to some divine nymph, a daughter of the god Atlas.
But my darling Athena like a guardian angel - helps me once
again; her gentle wishes softly implanted in the ears of Zeus.
Under the celestial heavens; I awake beside her, among the blankets of a bed.
As her father Atlas governs Selene of the night to reveal his daughter’s beauty;
I lay staring at her sweet face with that fresh stench of love - thick on us both.
It is this nymph that swirls the
At all the edges of our love it rips so gentle;
lightly tearing as it all begins to just fall apart.
I foresee it coming and rush out towards the
horizon with your fragile self - struggling behind.
The silhouettes of memory taunt behind each boundary as
the haunting memories emerge; edging forth from the night.
The pains of all of yesteryear and a love turned sour now
spark – like a familiar flame as you enter in to the light.
Having been wronged by a grey fortified world built against me,
Blind in all its action to persecute me for only being unique;
I took refuge in my room, four decorated walls, ceiling, floor,
And a bed to warm me with dreams - in the sleep, that I did seek.
You raped my now twisted soul of all it's dignity,
You broke my fragile heart with all of your lies.
Every night is now plagued with smudged make-up
From the melancholy tears of my mascara eyes.
I - like many other men; have left a darling Lotus behind
And not a moon goes by without plagues of nostalgic dream.
Tainted inside; I’m left hungering for more, I need more;
And home is not Greece, but with my Lotus - it does seem.
This lonely soul like a cool, grey autumn fading;
Dives into the depths of a dark, twisted ocean,
Falls short of love, begins to drown under it all;
And the heart bleeds on screen - in all slow motion.
Like simmering flames, our eyes gasp for air
And reach into one another’s for something to share.
Deep down inside us, we bleed slow at the core;
Hearts scarred and once broken; both ache for more.
She fell like a lonely heart in to the sea;
Itching for the freedom of love for me.
Hanging on every gospel she did hear;
Waking from a dream – her only fear.
Her eyes are alive, a hunt hot on her breath;
She burns inside with a lust for the kill.
A passionate hunger ripe for the feeding;
Tonight, she will execute it with perfect skill.
