<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">A heart is just a hole,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">it’s a star collapsing.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">When we look deep inside,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">we know all we have seen.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">In the eye of the redstorm,</span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: small;">we have reached the infinity,</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Love has transferred to a higher place;</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">those warped interactions once known.</span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: small;">The mechanics that castrated us</span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: small;">severed the soul; birthed our future.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We have transferred to a higher place,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">adorned divinity and grouppeace.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We marveled at the vortex, aye,</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">And I took solace in the thought that it would happen,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">that flesh and nature would wither on that day.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">But it could not have been any other way, </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">though the man and the woman did disagree.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The metallic dreams I’ve been having</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">where I walk off the face of the earth,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I fly back around the belt of asteroids</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">only to land on my feet once more.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">It’s basic calculation,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">as another dream dreams.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">What if we’ve found it all? </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">What if we weren’t meant to?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The moon melts, stars shatter, </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">and rockets drift astray.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The night opens, the cell evolves, </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">and life returns again.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Yet it goes without saying the new order is grand.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">And who am I but a work of the Man?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">One aeon, and life could create Him again.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Two aeon, and He’ll make us again.</span><br />

tangled there too, caught in my childhood and refusing to accept the present.
The inevitability of change is sometimes too overwhelming.</span></div>

<br />
Phantasmagoria is defined as 'a <span apple_mouseover_highlight="1">sequence</span> of real <span apple_mouseover_highlight="1">or</span> imaginary images like that seen in a <span apple_mouseover_highlight="1">dream'</span><br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">One year ago I made a song called Phantasmagoria. It was heavily inspired by dreams, death, nostalgia and the progression of time. Personally, these elements in my life are never truly understood. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Almost a year later, still inspired by my efforts and ideas, I made a remix of Phantasmagoria which explores these themes in a minimal, hazier and darker way.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">This is a collection of poetry I wrote in 2011. I felt was in its own group due to the cohesion of its conception, themes, construction and progression. Twenty of the poems here were written in one day (August 10th), the last was written just six days later.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<br />
1. Intro</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Am I the fickle perfectionist?</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Am I fit enough for porno,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">golden hair and bronzed torso?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Does my faker’s smile shine brightly,</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">showing afflictions only slightly?</span></span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">No.</span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I am the tired suburban type,</span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">sleeping through the queerish hype.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">I feign indifference to life and love,</span></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">meanwhile fear flows through my blood.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<br />
2. Sticky</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
My mind is sticky, nostalgically. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Each memory constructs feelings. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I feel the past loves, </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">latter ones in fantasies present.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Inside thought’s core, deep rapture is what I find. </span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Like knowing the flesh I’m without,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">like my skin, it is but temporary.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">3. Daddy</span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
It is nighttime.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">There is a silhouette before me.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">His vague outline appears, fades, reappears, then fades.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">One twisted hand reaches out, and it is received.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">There is an unfamiliar quietness, so it is released.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">He comes closer; his pores open to receive.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">He is a father to Cowardice.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">And there is nothing there for me anymore.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">His necklace weighs across my heart,</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">into smooth, white solution.</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">of his sensuous skin.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><br /></span></span></div>
