[khg] going down

take me back
for just a few minutes
to that time
when i had the time
and a chance
a piece of beauty
before the monsters attacked
let me just visit
that one calm moment
where i could forget
dreams and lives
the time and day
and still come out ok
let me feel for a second
the comfort
of the dark corners
off in the distance
of a place
filled
with dirty angels
watered down saints
no need for an escape plan
burn the prophecy
kill the clatter and chatter
the pills
and the ills
let me fall asleep
to the wills turning
giving up
in solace
see the same sun rise
on a beauty
i will never see again
let the angels speak
the saints dance
let me feel it
in the last minutes
before i burn it down
and kill it

[khg] knowing its time

the closed eyes
clinched tight mouth
held breath
hand on check
one more time
knowing its time
to find out
if it is the last time
or the next time
when the fine line
breaks
what you have waited for
and feared
keeping you up at night
while the spirits dance
a beckoning call
one more time
