Snow on Graves
Posted by Chris on October 11th, 2007

It’s kind of a chill and a tug, like my stomach is filled with cold mud – or I’m breathing a vapor of blood. But it’s not that it makes me feel sad…like a live-too-long dog, happy to die by his master’s side with clouded eyes as eternity floats softly by. In a way more [...]

And I feel this way…
Posted by Chris on February 2nd, 2007

Have I ever truly felt?Ever even lived?Am I the product of your mind?Or worse: this world of sin?Born in blood and raised in fleshI carry on inside my death But I feel this way… I’m selfish in a complex wayBut selfish just the sameI want, I need, I give to getI still can’t win the [...]

Flowing
Posted by Chris on February 2nd, 2007

Flowing hair in curling black Soft Brown Eyes and pink lips slack Lashes long and lingering look The more was given the more I took So soft of skin and light of breath To drink it in – be drunk with sex Lend me your heart, lend me your eyes God make us one to [...]

Posted by Chris on February 2nd, 2007

“Save me, Save me!” I cry outMy heart has fallen to the bottomNothing left to do, to tryI lay here late and start to cryI’ve tried again, and oh, guess what?!I failed. I’m flawed. I’m worse than dirt.I say I will, I speak religionBut from my soul I scream perversionLaws and Promises made to be [...]

Breath
Posted by Chris on February 2nd, 2007

Chemistry is just the edge of how this works.Biology expresses and fulfills the urge.Physics laws are broken by this power.Eternity grows shorter every hour.Astronomy less wondrous than your eyes.Language can’t begin to writeA Poem with half the beauty in your eyes.Breath less precious to me now than yours.

Joy
Posted by Chris on September 18th, 2006

two spots – one in, one by my chestin each you fit by far the bestwhen emptied, hollow they remaini’m hardly able to restraina flood of tears down this sad faceit’s only by God’s endless graceand by your perfect smiling voicethat I still have this awesome joy.

Feel
Posted by Chris on September 1st, 2006

Nothing, there is nothing all around, out window comes such sound the silence in a scream it is my life; the jump before a fall. The stuff I sought and praised gone cold, and I am like a house half-sold quite bare of near-remembered meaning-giving warmth of sorts, perhaps it simply lacks a song. Yet, [...]

The Chase

And yet
Posted by Chris on August 1st, 2006

He is alpha, omega and all He is absolute substance i am dust (and yet…) He sits on a throne, angels surround He breathes life i crave attention He whispers his call He sings his sweet song i gasp and moan and complain …mind cannot understand, words will not describe, mathematics, very god of the [...]
