the delightful night delivers cocktail wait a while tuxedo poet the shambles the preambles naked air transmits chemical messages the storm my god hesitates white lightning black empty stockings old photographs in my room where sleep is waiting in my room so full of darkness the raindrops are fuller than ever the windows rattle rattle in the wind and shook shaking i lie in a bed with no sheets something sticks into my shoulder my other shoulder older brother to the first the rain contained in black black cloud by midnights grace i cross the floor into the poor place my head aches my eyes hurt my throat is tight i lie upright in tonight moon in pinkish light even my friends say daddy youre a fool to cry and it makes me wonder why
afternoon of a fawn
the delightful night delivers
cocktail wait a while tuxedo poet
the shambles the preambles
naked air transmits chemical messages
the storm my god hesitates
white lightning black empty stockings
old photographs
in my room where sleep is waiting
in my room so full of darkness
the raindrops are fuller than ever
the windows rattle rattle in the wind and shook shaking
i lie in a bed with no sheets
something sticks into my shoulder
my other shoulder older brother to the first
the rain contained in black black cloud
by midnights grace i cross the floor into the poor place
my head aches my eyes hurt
my throat is tight
i lie upright
in tonight
moon in pinkish light
even
my friends say daddy youre a fool to cry
and
it makes me wonder why

silver lining up on nights like this with sudden squalls i cant be bothered trying too hard to harden this carapace this car apace with liquid space oh i flow theres is more than this oh i know it lasts the dark pasts lightening the under over and over evening arrival of the white hot chocolate stars their noise drowns out the blackness memory of today while it was everything i will forget the rain cannot hold itself back any longer it falls with its diamond flashing glints mostly black though and unseen it is an implication rather than fact it is sleep personified a thousand tiny times it hits goodnight then i travel through a storm in this accelerating house and the vistas burst open revealing what is to be and what it is to be hold it
warp n woof
silver lining up
on nights like this with sudden squalls
i cant be bothered trying too hard to harden this carapace
this car apace with liquid space
oh i flow
theres is more than this
oh i know
it lasts the dark pasts
lightening the under
over and over
evening arrival of the white hot chocolate stars
their noise drowns out the blackness
memory of today while it was everything i will forget
the rain cannot hold itself back any longer
it falls with its diamond flashing glints
mostly black though and unseen
it is an implication rather than fact
it is sleep personified a thousand tiny times it hits
goodnight then
i travel through a storm in this accelerating house
and the vistas burst open
revealing what is to be
and
what it is to be hold it
bang on n on antennae pluck stuff from thin air brain processes it sensibility filters it genius refines it to a subtle form individuality shapes it exquisite love colours it passion heats it up compassion cools it down stops it burning the emptiness is filled something appears outta nowhere nature steps in spirit blazing the madwomen toss their heads and sing we love you steven but when the night arrives i am even lonelier than before before loneliness owned me solely unholy before i owed my soul to some hole that i stole before i swore that the door was out on the fourteenth floor before before before long before n after the laughter that we bore we saw the true king appearing uncompromised he rose rising with the rosy dawn but i digress leg before wicked mangled up in brew singled out for a single cypher you can hire a glyph lamp of this world while we are still in it still i imagine the sudden jolt of sentience when patience exhausted you forced into a wall the walls close sin on you an award with no reward if if if if if if if if if if i rehearse at the opera house on the steps under the blue spring australia sky on a glorious sunday well this is an impromptu speech…… famous geezers wander about starlets and hospitality types bottles of water the sails of the house strain to pull upon us free we break away and drift along on the sea the deep green sea under you over me
adventures in the skin trade
bang on n on
antennae pluck stuff from thin air
brain processes it
sensibility filters it
genius refines it to a subtle form
individuality shapes it exquisite
love colours it
passion heats it up
compassion cools it down stops it burning
the emptiness is filled
something appears outta nowhere
nature steps in spirit blazing
the madwomen toss their heads and sing
we love you steven
but when the night arrives
i am even lonelier than before
before loneliness owned me solely unholy
before i owed my soul to some hole that i stole
before i swore that the door was out on the fourteenth floor
before before before
long before
n after the laughter that we bore we saw the true king appearing
uncompromised he rose rising with the rosy dawn
but i digress
leg before wicked
mangled up in brew
singled out for a single cypher
you can hire a glyph
lamp of this world while we are still in it
still i imagine the sudden jolt of sentience
when patience exhausted you forced into a wall
the walls close sin on you
an award with no reward
if if if if if if if if if if
i rehearse at the opera house
on the steps under the blue spring australia sky
on a glorious sunday
well this is an impromptu speech……
famous geezers wander about
starlets and hospitality types
bottles of water
the sails of the house strain to pull upon us free
we break away and drift along on the sea
the deep green sea
under you
over me
