LOVERS BLESSED

unsaved words of clay
reclined in yesterday
 
washed away on pages
eaten in the torn  warp of night
standing alongside that gentle grave
unmarked
received and betrayed
 
Silence you lie
take me into torture
take me,
take my life
stars you blame each other
stars falling as they might
 
vast an ocean billows before me
my flesh a blanket in delight
rumours cascade in waterless hades
hell is dancing to be saved
 
the bartender serves me another day
I just drank that other one away
place me in the velvet cushion bosom blessed
striving to stumble
guessing which joke to tell
 
Bloated in red
soaked before a dusty bed
pledged by saints
held on command
laughter drives a beacon light ominous voice
mirrors collected
numbers handed into covered jars
storms in groups
playing forgotten blues
slipping on the sliding
words of my clay
RIPPED SKULL
GRACE THE SAVED
