LURE KEL

Deep in the jungle

there resides a place

with residents that glow

like your beautiful face.

They light up the sky brighter than the stars

you wish you could go there,

but its simply too far.

And deep in the jungle

something growls

you see glowing eyes

but have no fear in sight

for you know

eyes can not glow without ever seeing the light.

And deep in the jungle

someone waits for you

someone you left

and they left you too.

They’ll come bearing flowers

tulips and roses of gold

and you’ll realize this jungle might just be your home.

And that’s where you roam now

deep in the jungle

with only the stars and the moon on your side.

And that’s where you roam now

deep in the jungle

with only the flowers and that girl on your side.

And that’s where you roam now

deep in the jungle

with only the neon nature on your side.

So sit still and dreams your days away

She talks of him like he is her secret that she wants broadcast to the world,

Like he is a secret that just can’t be kept.

Her eyes light up with joy and her heart swells with peace, she can feel him.

She can see him when he’s not there, he is always around.

She hopes to be like him one day, she knows he is good,

I never sob,

I just cry,

So save your tears for tonight.

You’ll see me again, I promise you.

Don’t give up hope, We’re not threw.

There’s something for you in this world.

Out in space, like a star shining bright.

I told you that I hated you,

Now you’re never coming back.

You believed in something that I will never find,

In someone I could never see.

You’ll move on and forget me,

And when I die you won’t remember everything we did together.

You won’t feel a pang in your chest,

because you won’t know who I was.

I’ll never see you again,

And that doesn’t upset you.

You don’t mind never seeing me smile again.

You don’t mind never seeing me cry again.

You don’t mind never hearing my laughter again,

Or hearing our children’s laughter for the first time.

I saw a future you never planned to have,

And now you’re gone.

I’ll never forget you,

He tried to kill me.

He whispered threats in my ear,

He told me there was no hope,

He told me he was the Pope

And that he had talked to God.

God told him to kill me,

it was just meant to be you see.

“Ready to die?” he asks.

I suppose I am,

I remember so vividly her screams

And her smile as she died.

Why do I remember these things,

When she wasn’t ever real?

Her crying on her wedding day,

And her goodbyes to her family.

Where is she?

I don’t understand,

She was so real.

The day she was checked into Danver was a day of fear,

I remember,

Her lobotomy,

Her brain.

He came in my room late at night

He killed my mother on the sight.

He took my hair

And shouted “fun fair!”

And threw me in the well

It is dark and musty

And cold and damp

and I scream and yell

But to this day no one will listen

My cheeks have started to glisten

I suck on your lips,

And bite on your neck.

For I am a vampire,

And this is what I do.

Your are my pet

And I will keep you,

But one day I will have to hurt you.

For I am a vampire,

And this is what I do.

I will tell you I love you

For darling I do

But one day I will drown you.

For I am a vampire,

My poems are delirious

Where as my lips speak something mysterious

I write in the wake of day

And in the crook of night.

But I have never seen an owl,

To help cure my sight.

For I can not see, even the largest of things.

How hard I have tried!

And how weary I am!

I’m hoping for rest,
