Give me all your times of day
There are black masses in the courtyard
Won’t you come on out to play
Ye old squatters and their neighbours
Who find envy in their shiver
I’ll sing you into blight
Pack all my arrows in this quiver.
The rain came on black daffodil and all her wilted petals.
She says she misses the taste of love.
Her eyes all donned in glass they cut the butterflies when she might kiss em.
Take my hand oh little flower
And we can walk on down to eden.
Maybe then she’ll see alone she’s better off.
Maybe lust will wrap around her like the arms of my dear devils
Take her in and show her how to dance at dawn.
Oh specimen of the unkind, my dearest friend.
She rests her head upon her lilac pillow and weeps now for the end.
I weep with her beneath the same moon.
There is nothing shameful about our own decay.
Sad boy, And all your midnight masterpieces. You wear those hands that make me into pudding. The hands that craft such hunger into delicate art. Between squirming and coughing up blood I think about sad boys and having sex with my enemies. I dream about the withering black daffodils and falling into the arroyo head first. Lust bound. There is something Celtic and creamy about death’s obsession with me. How he lurks into the souls of my loved ones and hovers over me with the chill of night. Sad boy, I’m however afraid, there is nothing as attractive about my obsession with you.
You should never have Allowed me to wander into you. For now I dream of being wisped away and fed. Play again with my dark parts and bow to my sins. Paint portraits of my smile in your notebooks full of turmoil. Walk with me into the mouth of madness and allow me to become the insanity that eats me.
You move like a black wave, you perform with an elegant swell. You make me ponder expiration, searching for the silhouette of darkness between the horizon and my own being. Doubt dissipates into power and I am whole.
Sad boy you talk so kindly to my flowers. Your eyes do tell me otherwise, even in moments made of crumbs. I know that you have seen my creatures, and that those visions fail to fade from what’s become. My teeth get sharp when I’m aroused, and I remain with a desire that soothes me to decompose. I live with many voices, putrid and pleasant alike. I am the same daffodil in the garden that hangs over the weeds and weakens into rot. Still I feel nothing but held.
Know now that flowers begin their pursuit of the sun from seedlings, and only death doth take their pulse and give wings of prayer to their halos. Darkness is quite the embrace should we discover the arms of death and the comfort of cold bones. To feel the grip close around our little flower petals, those sweet kitten throats. If only the others could see that what pain is to love, black is to white, Veronica is to Betty.
To all of my sad boys and their desire for my flowers:
I exist with a screaming heap of mischief. As soft as I may appear to you in intimacy, know that I may also cradle my own vanity at your expense. As it is above, so it will appear below.
you are allowed to love only half of who I am. And you are plenty allowed to never even love me at all.
