In a Shattered Vanity

He was the man in the velvet coat
And he was the man that wished the world
Turn its pretty little face
At his gorgeous disgrace
The love found itself drowned in the red wine
And the bitter touched his tongue
For the bitter of his love
while the substance came elusive
Is this the sanctuary
Of the shameful day
As his vanity shattered over his hands
In that broken mirror he saw the same reflection:
The same man who found such beauty
In his own glossed eyes
And those of others
“Till Christ call forth the dead
In silence let him lie
No need to waste the foolish tear
Or heave the windy sigh
The man had killed the thing he loved
And so he had to die”*
As his vanity shattered over his hands
In that broken mirror he saw the same reflection:
The same man who found such beauty
In his own glossed eyes
And those of others
*From “The Ballad of Reading Gaol” section VI by Oscar Wilde

Modern Prometheus

See the face
What did you create?
Is this work of you
Or just a reflection at your hands?
Meaning misconstrued
Can you see the face?
The face you’ve made
Can we see this to it’s natural order
Or is this state the end?
See I am human, made by the mud
Yet I cast my judgement.
Why do I seek approval from you?
When all I see is titans so useless.
The plan it dwindles down.
See Prometheus unchained
Yet bound to the hillside
With the pain in his eyes
What’s this coming down?
All just pain for now?
What’s this coming down?
We just pray for now.
See the face
What did you create?
Is this work of you
Or just a reflection at your hands?
Meaning misconstrued
Can you see the face?
The face you’ve made

A Tear in the Lace

I can see it all here
But I can’t tell if it’s fake
There’s a voice that speaks
It says it loves me
But it’s so vague
If it could hold me where I could hear it
Speak to me so I could know
It whispers as it reaches
Like the blade has come to touch
With the softness comes a sharper
Like the blade has come to touch
It whispers as it reaches
Am I one with a side to choose
Am I the voice you are not to trust
Am I one with a side to choose
Am I the voice you are not to trust
Am I one with a side to choose
Am I the voice you are not to trust
On which side do I lay
The one where I feel the pain
Or the one where I feel the sensation ripping
It rips at me
And I feel that pain
It rips at me
Again
