Queen Of Kings

On that day you lived
Through him, in me
For that transcendental hour
Mouth to mouth we meet
On that day when he was born
You found yourself consumed
Til one of us undid the folds
And space and time resumed
In your tesseract rescue
Cradled in some stranger’s truth
You’re stupid and you're beautiful
A poet’s vision of spring and youth
Your dark skinned Aphrodite
Queen of all your kings
Heralded by sea foam wolves
The death that I can bring
The creatures that you vowed to save
Were holograms in caves
Sins extinguished, virtues embraced
But only in your inner space
Spliced like DNA
He and I create new truths
Magisteria overlapping
As we forsake our youths
A thousand births and deaths will pass
As all you cherish hides away
Lost to you in the dualism
You could never quite escape
Information multiplies
And myth is brought before the court
As Phryne steps into the sea
And the prophets scramble to report
In the dying light of empire
I hope you’ll re-emerge
To complete the variation
One last time we all converge
The creatures that you vowed to save
Were holograms in caves
Sins extinguished, virtues embraced
But only in your inner space

Angel Tongue

I’ll be awake for days
Trying to sort through this maze
Of glitches and unfiltered lines
An empire in decline
On the last day that we kissed
This age finally came to an end
Prudently I held my tongue
Though, to be fair, you helped me along
But I’ll never take back
All the love that I gave
Laughing ‘round words
You’d miscalculate
Call me a slut
But never a thief
Don’t say life’s too short
When you mean love’s too brief
I'll lie awake tonight
Because your sadness brings me such delight
An angel's tongue has to speak
The most beautiful blasphemies
And if you think I fear flames
And revenge in his name
I'm sorry to say
That your faith is misplaced
Put me on a cross
And you've already lost
I know how you revel in guilt
Atonement is only a way
To make an innocent pay
For the fun that you now regret
But wish that you hadn't had yet
So bring out your tortures and charms
Your holy books and your arms
Kill all the Buddhas tonight
Show me your beautiful light
But I’ll never take back
All the love that I gave
Laughing ‘round words
You’d miscalculate
Call me a slut
But never a thief
Don’t say life’s too short
When you mean love’s too brief
An angel's tongue has to speak
The most beautiful blasphemies
Men still can't tell love from war
And that's why your love is a bore

All the Other Actors

The stations set before us
Don’t forget that they’re a tool
Once you’ve crossed the river
The raft’s no longer useful
The monk departs his Cadillac
With the prostitute he’s hired
If attachment is needfulness
Enlightenment's the freedom to desire
What good is a savior
Who neglects the despised?
Why learn to see in darkness
And never leave the light?
We’ve built these towers up so far
That now they touch the sky
And even if we’ve lost our words
We can connect here tonight
And crawl out of this gutter together
All the other actors
Play out reincarnations
As if the pathway to Nirvana
Were paved with aspirations
Guilt will only save us
If we know when to ignore it
Our only hope for transformation
Is to learn when to deplore it
What good is a savior
Who neglects the despised?
Why learn to see in darkness
And never leave the light?
We’ve built these towers up so far
That now they touch the sky
And even if we’ve lost our words
We can connect here tonight
And crawl out of this gutter together

Herald the jewels whose flares
Burst before eyes before their bearer's
Perfect motion and study
Takes flight through fancy fantasy
Behind precocious stones
And eyes brighter than innocents
Who am I looking through
Who could be living inside you?
The ball has disappeared all around us
Amethyst water rushes in to surround us
Throbbing on ears it carries
Bubblewords, cochlea-kissing
Clamshell opening
Glowing like azurite nympheyes
Floating auburn fronds that fade
In this privatepublic sea
Amber words engraved
This is your birth, this is your rite
But now you should disperse,
To chime again in hourstime
The ball has disappeared all around us
Amethyst water rushes in to surround us
Throbbing on ears it carries
Bubblewords, cochlea-kissing
And as the cupids swoop in
Lutes and harps penetrating the din
All gilded and swooning
We succumb to Cythera
