Addiction*

Covenant eyes deny the sign they see
disguised by lies that rise like tides of sea
Know demons dark with guile and coveting
the body's beauty they will never be
Zealous to promise what we cannot keep
We paid for poison with our stolen sleep
The scales of justice tip to meet our greed
While children rotate days they get to eat
Without the fix we feel life's pitiful
And hunger lingers even though we're full
We fight to feel the high all by ourselves
That only comes from loving someone else
There stood our destiny in mom alone
Deceptive ecstasy without a home
Traded our faith in family for dreams
And blamed our guiltless tragedies on genes
What words deserve return to grave alone
Adulterizing truth so save a stone
Whose hand it is that writes, I ask the sky
You and I, reply, dovetailing as we fly
Why do you love a broken man, IAM
My open mouth demands to taste the plan
Futures repeat and present's always past
Fire and peace roar over melting glass
The beggars wager thirst against our land
Our neighbor's labor favors wonderland
The promised pearl hardly pays the price
Since golden trades make majesty and might
Tunnel tales swollen sails yet no escape
Heavy hails derail sun trails take
Mortification builds a finished flesh
Still breaths stretch forceful into rest and death
Earth tread enters angel highways violent
Needed wings grown in a burning silence
Falling visions crater lights around us
Lead lambs to slaughter singing sounds of trust
Prisoned in choices fortified by time
Locutions sacrificed to murder pride
The crippled body wears Beloved tones
Souls flee the fiery gaze from holy thrones
Passion transfigures victims into kings
Royal children warplay in torture rings
Woman rises wet above bloody womb
Her dancing prayer threads stitches through his wound
For leverage best against the devil's test
Two hearts unite in ancient lover's quest
Translate emotions quiet suffocate
Hired desire lyred master hate
Survival instincts manipulate me
Addicted to you, need you to chaste me
Knocking on dangling doors to neverwhere
Suffering vanities no children bear
Death tills lovers' soil destination
Spinal tapping family preparation
Celibate friends race to a lonely fear
Joyous they know they will be holy here
Sacrament the present moment, spread wide
Foreign tongues humble science flames, dead stride
Jesus must walk him through the agony
To wait is not his choice, belief received
Surrendered passion course flight boomerang
Returned by wind's design and soon to land
A shooting star across the sky of time
Reminder sign long hair and braided rhyme
When loathing falls let laughter ninja rise
Holy jester come mask her tender mind
Queen Regina rose of wine tumble earth
Your heart and mine and hers blue umble birth
Dependency untied behind his eyes
Dilated soul inside a love divine
