FEAR why is it that this madness strikes as if i should be sleeping i feel like a child, sneaking awake too late to watch a scary movie these words twist and grind out of me impure, tainted, and yes, i am afraid these words shoot forth like a shot like so many pretty fleeting things leaving an exit wound that is my life my heart, and yes, again, my fear i was not quite asleep, on the verge on the threshold of lucidity, of dream! and i let it slip from me, mindlessly without a thought, indulging in my fear afraid that there is no god, afraid of truth afraid of being alone, afraid of love afraid that i am not what i say i am afraid that she does not love me or care or that no one will or that nothing is real afraid to be what i really am afraid of nothing so i sneak, fearful of discovery excited to know, i am a child and all that's left of that fleeting moment between wakefulness and sleep are these words, and yes, i am afraid they're meaningless... Here's one from my Thelema Lodge O.T.O. days... MASKS there is no blood there is no cup there is no sky when i look up there is no dark not even light i no longer have the strength to fight the snake can't strike the dove won't fly and I am living this terrible lie the temple has burned down to the ground i stop to listen there is no sound the egg lies broken the babe is dead as dreams of life run through my head stillborn and mute not even a chance only the masks left here to dance visions of joy let sorrow reveal there's nothing for the masks to conceal... Here's a couple straight from the heart... PIECES no one understands me the way that I love for no reason at all without limit or fear my heart is suicidal burning up in flames how it keeps on beating when its torn in two or three or a thousand pieces scatter away until nothing is left nothing left for myself and I cannot afford to cry because there is yet more and I fall again and again into your arms my lover will we meet tomorrow? in a different place with other faces and names loving until there is nothing and the world has gone away I do remember you my love and I recognize your eyes black and cold, inviting the gateway to my death a thousand graves lie open waiting for pieces of my heart and still I am unafraid even though I am alone... JEALOUS The jealous ones they fear love and can never possess it or control it or make it go away and when it does cross their path they consume it and waste it for lesser petty things they chain it down and beat it and love is never free the jealous ones, afraid that they will never know love and yet chase love away... Here's one for those afraid of love and/or sanity TRADERS i'd give my soul to know what hurt you so much my heart cannot imagine what hurt you so badly that you won't let me give you the love that you deserve and need i can't rape you and i have no soul i traded it away for a pack of smokes to that awful man you know the one he took your love away and sold it for a carton and now he has something that he cannot use and we are all bereft but still i love you it's too damn bad you won't let it mean anything it's too damn bad i'll never know why --------------------------------------------------------------------------- uXu #222 Underground eXperts United 1994 uXu #222 Call PEGASUS -> +41-71-715577 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
