Trojan Kisses
I'm on the brink/
Of walking free/
On the marching breeze/
That tomorrow brings/
Of all the things/
That could fill this hollow need/
Of mine, I'm falling deep/
Into the Autumn leaves/
With a shot of wink-/
-ing whiskey I nod and beat/
My hands against this awful dream/
Like a dog in heat/
Hypocrisy/
Follows me/
Everywhere, it stalks and sings/
To let it out as my heart, it bleeds/
For what was lost to me/
When I crossed the seas/
Monogamy/
A sparkling ring/
Uncommonly/
Strong reprieves/
From a world that drops the beam/
On frolicking/
Watching eag-/
-er as her belly rounds/
Itd be swelling out/
As the very ground/
That birthed our roots begins to tremble, growl/
And then allow/
Another seed to be spreading out/
As its vines assemble mount-/
-ains from pebbles, a family stretches out/
From the death and drought/
Of our own, we resemble val-/
-iant warriors bending back-/
-wards to set the mouth/
Of the world open in awe at our splendid hour/
But this is just the wreckage found/
In my disassembled mound/
Of emotions that then aroused/
My spirit but now stress it out/
So I pick up a pen and let it out/
Only to then be drowned/
In tears in the devil's shroud/
But unless I'm dour/
Then just keep me dead and crowned/
With metal wound/
Through the endless vall-/
-ey of my demented scowl/
Because our ghostly children/
Know me whimpering/
In the night, a lonely victim/
Of hoping, wishing/
That youd hold me within/
But instead we slowly drifted/
Apart like our ropes were split in/
Two, and though we gripped each/
Other with ferocious misty/
Eyes, our own descriptions/
Of perfection closed our vision/
And exposed the distance/
Between us, and as I watch you grow, you're slipping/
Away from me, my only mission/
In life I've failed, I'm groaning crippled/
Alone and inches/
Away from being mostly living/
My bones and fickle/
Moon are notions tickling/
Me from the inside, and I'm clothed in ribbons/
Made from the cold I shivered/
In, as the oceans, rivers/
And home we built in/
Each other has exploded, dipped in/
To its now muddy foundation, I disrobe and, blissful/
Atone for sins that/
Broke us, hidden/
In ways that you had to feel, my babygirl I'm sending you trojan kisses/
Because although I'm sitting/
Here saying I want you happy even if I'm not the rose you're sniffing/
I really want you back, our life unfolding in the/
House we built, devoted, building/
Like always said with both our children/
