if only my body was not stolen by the grey raven of forgetfulness
if only
the stars fell around someone's fine golden hair
if only your eyes would promise me instead of dismiss me
if only my voice were a trumpet
and my mind open mirror
so you could see how I feel about you
and feel that way about yourself too
my friend, you have met me
married me
martyred me
left me
without even knowin it
with one blink the universe swells and blushes
with one wave of your hand the night swampy things stop chatting
and all i can do is hear your voice
i love you, but
i love you, but
I must reply
my passion commands it
i love you, and
i love you, and
I love further and further beyond myself
like one these days the feeling sweep me away from everything
and one of these mornings you'll awake with that feeling too
and my name will roll of your tongue as I pick up the phone
and possibility will begin
and your voice will echo like a mirror in my mind
i can't believe what your saying to me, over and over, your words are tears so long awaited it's true
washing me away, everything goes away
you love me
there is joy in beginning
but I am only a shadow of myself
and you will never know me
and i will never learn the silence you could teech me
i'll burn away
and listen to my voices
and waunder the earth an alien to myself
and forgotten in your mind
but you know night comes in many shades
you are nothing but a silent shade
a feint voice wich echos quietly around my dark room
but friend some secret landed on me when I was younger
that is that you are a star
that the people this land belongs to are berried right under us
and you are an indian water sister dancing naked in woods for Dyonisus
free and away
safe from me but falling back
you fall back to me
i only wihed that you truly existed
i am dead
i've been waiting
I've been waiting your arriving
like an acid orgasm
messiah
jaring
hangover of the further world
empty
pallete
of the body
remaining wheightless
free mountain nicotine
the mounths sleep
trembling
awakening
swallowing
the mouth of
God

I tranced through your pittiful gold
the cretean girls sun swurve acros red garland black laced dance
their bodies tongue swirl sweetly through their rasin skin and icy light eyes and lightless eclipse at the apex solar temple glare ... icy monsters crawl from her eyes down the lightning arrows poked thoroughly in the hot crotch... smoke rolled like pepper clouds up into the stratosphere from little red lips parted and tucked out like a bouncy red sofa... i longed their in my mind until the fog creeped around my head and the rivers of life swam in one silver lightning ... ah, my brother here and there there are clues into everything...
the cold nozzle kissed my temple in death
if I don�t write, what will become of me?
what has happened to the jolly first three?
the great fun we used to have t those summer parties
a cloud has eaten all those memorires away
away from me
somthing I had no intention of loosing this soon

THIS GAME HAS GONE ON LONG ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!
the rainbow peices fall in precision
the chester king in his rainbow tuxedo wallows
in his forked tiedie tongue swallows
me
ithink i�m gonna crash man


I am an emptty shell
I am an empty hell
I am the lollypop king
kill me in your dreams
useless, my body inherits the lines of time...
what happened to love...
has it been that long
love....
Clock ticked in yellow rhymes
burlesque tick-tock talking chimes
benchmark three clandestine times
let's make it through this thing
worth it all
let's raise the bus
and trade the hall
hey man, I see things
let us carry out our grandiose schemes


Beatnik bounty bubble blue
the antra flower man it's time
for a fresh look
upon these fallow frowns
the ouchy-grouchy couchy
linoleum friends
begin in the end

Jamming your Jorma
smooth as a smock-beat
dead-beat - Greek-sheet
tooled in the big mind - straight line on frown
Jamming flaming crane-drain
up the flaming-staining rain-brain
Blue-goo goppy grease
flew through my sick language
languid speech... Graffy-Taffy Mappy
trails naive sexual opinions

Take the flaming arrows off the stairs
slide them in your Sock - swallow the two
jar faces traces intrepid pepper eyes
anger styles Nazi hot rally of prep popper pie

Black and anger cheat sheet
riding high - sweat treat
the inescapable fashion
mind to wander
expand and eat up all
the lazy Sunday adventures

psychedelic mind-mass
beats the green tokens
of this contraption
that we call
life - life flowing through me
steadily dripping in Styrofoam cups

Optimum infringement of my benchmark silly stringent shitty sty
this stixy inlay of constitutional time
give me my token back!
neo-gree leak melting conductor
dissolved in the mud of life's gracing
stop this defacing of my dish-spirit raising
you're all phasing in the seashore mind

Tongue tapping
toe tantrum
my manna-lotus
sun borgodas
reaching up their eyes
to the silly tally totem

Brign grappling
lips rapping
minds zapping
moms napping
mouths flapping
take an unspoken look
at your little nook
peak your own pad
find your grand add
freeze this fun fad
learn what may
wake up before the kindred wine wind blows you from my radiance
milk this holy hollonistic cow of mine
let the water run breath brisk dry
let holy wind flow through your body like water
the indian condor gows lightless silhoute strong
before a curtain of white sun light
that waterfalls down from the canapy of smokey clouds
to the coblestone beach with its beard of ashes and shrubbery
ponder with me up and down this olympian ocean postcard
softly whisper in your harmonanimelloncollic charm
this ghostly beach melts like butter in the swampy afternoon
as you and I walk pondering
What kind of evils have been done at this house. And those birds, the flock of pepper dots that stink in the eyes like stingy metal graffitti lightening. Foreign mind mirror reflection birrds. birds, birds. Stirgen blood hungry needle. Sabre with red. birds, birds birds, and there turds turds turds flinging like some static soap opera sound. there all around crying and dieing. those birds, birds, birds. in one magnetic flock they choose their paths only one mind.... one great sobre mind... the same mind the wind and the winter corellate and and move.. movement... birds... their turtrds... like marbles collecting pealrs dropping everywhere.. on everything... experience the birds birds birds... their voices in the wind like thousand infants crying unfed... feed those birds... your body... feels like ... summer is comming with the return of mmy birds.. pull the summer in by the threads those feathers pull in the air.... the cold air has had its control over men... now, who dares fly and pump their sweat into into the sky... making my sty sticky again... sweat so much the air is humid now... and their heat in the sky... where so many years there has been no warm gentile beeting hearts... melts the winter... and everything is hot again.... too hot for man to do his work ... but must sit under his spectrre ice ducts and listen to those birds with control... and think... about birds birds birds... and whose to clean up those turds turds turds.
rust drips from the wobolly windows like evil.. what evil is hidden here... the rooof is caving on the evil in shame of the things it has protected for years... and entering the door where some mut schrathed till the wood was worn yellow and her paws smelled to her a red like the red pain when she becomes invisible... but not to her masters... the cold and concrete life. she knows them.... smells some evil in the house.. wants it and barks colder... hates when voice is lost. always.
freeking frosty joints... one can enter this house with strength twenty times his normal power.. bu t alway s some thing inside slows one to the evil.. the evil no one can hide or fear very long before it grows its tallons so deep into the stomach... that if pooled away... bleeding through every eye ever to waunder whats ticks inside you again. power.. this house has power over that one particular lobe in the brain that acts as a reducing valve... except, the power doesn't reduce by reducing merely... it reduces by chilling, subtly freezing you in the path of your owne movie.... and the invisible strings that clasp through every movement your limbs have ever dared to make beyond themselves.. comes floating back... residule actions.. history.. the past... made to ghostly lights and follows you around like the child balloon, crazy coon ... dark rebune..... red room... bed room... take me out-a-here...! i can stand any loger my knees will bark like rusty wheather dogs melting into rubber taffy, green and waxy... bright naffy ... green strings pulling a cloak of black feathers, on invisible draw strings... bloody brown carpet covers evil...
we went to this chicks house ya know.. all high as coons may coon at the racooned plastic moon.. tefflon wodded by a child's red hand... the moon.. the moon... kitty here room.. black light posters from Chinese 70's all the sparks come stinging like stencil off the wall... ancient circuits and salty flakes splahing behind a revolving light dark brain. our movements made silent shadows to burn the sparkle out from behind the closset cavern where he adosecant dwelled and put blood into her finger and spent time to linger behind the walls so her parrent's plastic eyes couldn't hang her out in yard on the willow branching trees like thin septic cords...

The bed and the stuff the great mountains and cliffs of stuff collected into bluffs and ravines and cliffs and plateuas of clothes and papaer and trash... the great germ and bug empire dwelling in the promised land cana.... leave it alone.. it's her's... it's familiar gold charms sonorous sophoriphic glowing lamps... aphrodisiac of personal, porcelen place where time began... where dragons did not exist and she was led to their layers... where thought and expression squashed into brooding phegamatic time spent waiting... for a star...
every night a cold nozzle kissed her temple with the ice salty sting of a swallowed star.. super nava blue rova... watch out, who's comming? a lightening sparked against the brick heeled monster boots trotting sabres across glass... the stranger saw everything and breathed it all in.. she perched herself against his lips and waited to what shape they would form... she was seeing her world through his eyes.. for the first time... there was no response... her ears were dead... her eyes were night pasted swollen.. she slipped off his lips and down his wrinkleless chin... her mouth was sowne shut by invisible wires that the the stranger had lassowed there and pulled tight so that the gurls lips were locked together like a closing draw string on a potatoe sack... rose blossom frozen straight shut... silence
"I gotta jet, ya know" he paused and searched the galaxy for an exit fom her world.. a swift exodus before the ice exploded in the room and froze him in his boots burned swollen mouth.. he pulled the strings shut.. pulled so hard the lasso nicked out of the mouth... and ripped the corse barbed thorny wire through her lips so that the embarassment and hate bled like brign dripping down her mouth and into his face... exodus!!!! "uh... um... yeah..." and he was gone... her fire was burned out and her anjal was swallowed by the sky... the fire in the red sky swung some doors of heaven and the strangers walked until the white washed over his boots and was gone.
I want
To reach out and swallow the forming dew off her tongue
To fly like her flutering buterfly lashes
And know
Her confidence eyes shines through drenching
Skin shivers anticipation
And worlds fat hot glow
my wo man furnace
Michael Brendon Flowers
Died December 8-9, 2001
Haven�t played in a long long time
Forgot to hold the strings and make a sound
holler my noise to get through to you
A voice to move your soul
I�d trade all my strings to play it true
And write my name in your heart

Sound of a mother in labor
Sound of a father in the field
Sound of their sons lying the trenches
Hiss of the radio
Laughter of a girl playing the garden
I think that I can write it down

Not today
Not now
Mabee someday
You�ll show me how
I know  one day
I�ll see you again
My friend

And did you make a sound
When you laid your head down
Six feet under the earth
Raining in Alabama
Writing letters you�ll never read
I can feel the sand in my hand

moan of a woman in labor
grunt her husband in the field
crying of their son dying in the trenches
crack of a new day coming
thunder of the water breaking wind
And if I had a choice, I�d do it all again

And on those hot musty days
I think I can still hear you laughing
About all those things I don�t understand
And in your special place
Where you put all your dreams
I can still hear you scream

I fell in love in a TV Show
it took about a minute or so
and the next thing that I know
that was an hour ago
and I feel like raining in land
I don't understand
how you go on
hypnotizing me
an that TV show
from the land we all know
goes on in the canyon of my brain
driving me insane

I was thinking just the other day
About how we used to play
Building forts in the back yard
Didn�t know it would be so hard

We were just 17
We found our first dirty magazine
Lying on the side of the road
Magats had eaten through her chode

Once I captured flowers from heaven
And put them in an earthly jar
They hushed me awhile with their beautiful power
Yet alas a bee should pass and sting me in the eye
Now I just sit back and listen to the world pass me by

Painting pictures in the sand
Waiting for the time to kill
All the measures in our hands
The silent cries of the window sill

Can you picture what will be
How will infinite taste to me
Is there silence in the breeze
Are we real or just shadows in the sand
