The Necromant

The Necromant

Severe
slow

Grounded

So grounded. that
a dream has its weight.

So subtle. that
a thought can cut
the air.

So deep. that
I don't believe
those words.

Playful

Because I'm playful
He plays with my feelings
Because I'm sad
He makes me cry
Because I dream
He feeds me illusions
Because I'm fragile
He breaks me
with lies

When It S All Dark Blue

We're all children of
the night
and the sky is all
black
The sun is just a star
rolling around
like we swim blind
into the infinite
Aw how I can see better in the shadows
How it feels real water when it's all dark blue

The Highest Authority In My Wild System

Me Is In Your Palm
Talk To Me
In Visions
Keep Me Warm
With Kind Words
I Won't Dare Suggesting
Anything Else
Because I am Sure
That You Will Only Do
What Your Heart Moves You To
Your Heart
The Highest Authority
In My Wild System

2012

nowhere
is the new house
where my feelings reside
I don't want to write
of this other
joker
and I don't
need to
let you know
how fire
turned into
mind business
the moment I knew
that these dreams
of ours
were beautiful posters
to be sold
cheap
to unwilling arms.

Tearing A Rose

Do Not Be Afraid
To Tear The Petals
Off A Sacred Rose
For Her
Truth
Eternal
Will Never Die
To Be Revealed
Before Your Eyes
She
Waits
Nights
And Days
Eternal
Her Devotion
Will Always Live
Meet Me Under A Tree
Guide Me Blinded
By Your Touch
Wherever

Vocatio Martiria

A talent for tears
that's the line of drops that makes my life feel real
inside i shake and then forget
like a pleasure this soul pain before i regret wanting to feel the illuminated Saint dripping with intense love.
so misunderstood and so alone
Vanity of the Virgin Mary crying beauty.

Never No Way

Crowded The Night
With Airplanes And Dream Surfers
It's Like HighWays
We're Just
Half Way
Always Half Way
Never No Way

Come Closer
Let The Distance Drop
To Zero

Stare Into The Black Deep Circle
Within The Blue Or Green Or Silver
Here In My Eyes
Can You Read
The Words
I Still Am Not Able To Say?
