All the trash you ever learned was written by dead poets.... And it was glamorous to starve under the redbrick & neon..... -C. 2/7/00

~*~ Ultra Sudden Mortality ~*~

I've been poisoned by a rich idea But poverty has led me here Borrowed time to save my dreams Devotion died behind moon beams And emotional is trivial Gift me one dimensional Look for me on silent nights Nursing scars from shadow fights And falling stars all know my name Close their eyes, accept the pain Make believe tomorrow cares For Nothings, Naught & Neverwheres I've never met I'll never forget Venus was wrong.... –C. 9/26/99

~*~ Weight of the Word ~*~

I am the shadow dancing on your wall I am the antique clock ticking in your hall I am the stampede of sorrow running down your face I am the cupid on your cloud and your ace of spades… I’ve carried my bad luck charm / And read every magic tome I heard you telling the story… How happy is the sunrise How sad the silent night How I suffer on the tip of your tongue From the weight of the word… I’m the lashes sweeping across the room I am the dark side of the moon I am the waterfall of sin I am the outsider looking in… I’ve carried my rage & fear And bled all my bridges I heard you whisper the worry… How blinding is the tragedy How dim the candlelight How I still suffer on the tip of your tongue From the weight of the word…

~*~ And He Wore Black~*~

martyr me because I believe in you And if I burn it would be my cause My poetry & fractured personality Shattered heart & character flaws.... I met myself in springtime And left myself in the fall I saw red in the winter And summer came to hide it all.. You were my reflection And you wore black..... -C. 3/19/00
