Oceans of need my kept queen dream afloat,

She like the scales to play this game I've tried before;

And no one ever wins but the churning seas of abyss,

That balance our internal shadows - besieging and indiscriminate:

Frightening and obscene - fanning flames of blindness,

Preventing forbidden fruit to bear in mind such burns unkind;

I lower my torpid nocturnal grasp to gage their untempered flow,

Swamping me with a full warming throb Frightening and obscene.


I cannot yield to the unquestionable physicality

Of such a warming and alarming desire unexplainable sickness,

Starving me of my hunger,

As I watch the ones I love tear each other apart

To mirror the world around us: frightening and obscene.


The ruthless arrow of time,

Her perpetual expendable army of desecrated childhood dreams

Marching towards each other to die again too soon;

They kill in desperate glee, to mirror the worlds inside of me:

Tearing each other apart.


Oceans of need my kept queen dream afloat,

She like the scales to play this game I've tried before;

And no one ever wins but the churning seas of abyss,

That balance our internal shadows besieging and indiscriminate:

Frightening and obscene fanning flames of blindness,

Preventing forbidden fruit to bear in mind such burns unkind;

I lay here, bitterly, with rage I yearn to don the mask:

Careless, indiscriminate,

Frightening and obscene.
