Lifespan

Before I fall to sleep

and upon my waking glance

you are the image I see

which has me in a trance.

Such beauty you possess

and I know no other who can

capture my heart in an instant

and hold it for a lifespan.

Future

With each moment that passes,

my heart becomes a little more yours

and our future unfolds before my eyes

with nothing but open doors.

Your past and mine exist

for only one reason and no more,

as they were the bumpy roads

that led to exactly what we waited for.

#tbt

The buzzing of the needle

scares many away

but the thrill that it elicits

is not achieved another way.

The message that I’m making

lasts forever on my skin

and I’ll take it to my grave,

along with all my sins.

Plain black or even color too,

my skin, the empty canvas awaits

for the artist’s fine creation

and the pure joy it elates.

Meow That’s What I Call Music: Volume 4

I’m only one scratch away

I’ll be there to make you pay

Lucifer got nothin’ on me

I’m only one scratch away.

You can’t feel your face when you’re with me

but you love it, but you love it,

You can’t feel your face when you’re with me

but you love it, but you love it.

I love eating feathers

in a beautiful world

and I know I am special

I’m so fuckin’ special

’cause I’m a cat, I’m a feline

what the hell are you doing here?

you don’t belong here.

Santa baby, slip a fishy under the tree, for me

I’ve been a good awful girl, Santa baby,

so hurry down the chimney tonight.

 

Prometheus

Each day free

is merely an added day

to my sentence of life

in this self-made prison

that holds me captive

and tortures my very soul

waiting for the moment I’ll break

so that the day

can start over again.
