Martin Callahan - 3 + 4Part 3 - continued...More Like This
We were on the 7th floor, and I remember distinctly watching a parade of shimmering rectangles flash onto the ceiling and walls, projected from the restless traffic and the jungle of neon signs. The low and heavy breath of life, emanated from the city and its inhabitants, in and out, it was steady and constant. It was at this point, as Florence locked my torso in her arms that bullets tore into the apartment, through the door, leaving craters in the wall opposite. More shots, more violence. At this rate, I won't survive to see the weekend. We both had leapt up, and I stared long and hard at Florence's outstretched arm.

In the moment,
The tarmac is alive,
I hear it breath,
Under my soles,
The earth sighs,
In unison with me
I live today,
The flowers bloom,
The scent dances,
Onto my wet hair,
I smile and dance,
With the fragrance,
Forget where I am
I live today,
I may die tomorrow,
Let it be, Let it be,
I feel love,
I feel pain,
It doesn't matter,
Into the earth again.
Forbidden LoveSkin untouchedMore Like This
And lips unkissed
I watch you through
My fingertips.
Neck unbitten
And veins undrained
For me, you keep
Your fangs at bay.
And yet we pretend
And yet we lie
For we must be with
Our own kind.
Heart unbroken
And secrets safe
I break your heart
With wooden stake.
The PhoenixI rise from cold ashesMore Like This
And take to the stage;
Your brilliant performer,
Your curious mage.
I yell, I giggle
I stutter with glee
Heart thumping harder
As flames engulf me.
But heart hangs heavy
As flame turns to glow,
And my audience prepares
For the crux of my show.
I explode into life
I spin and I shout
Busting with sparks
Until I burn out.
And tomorrow on stage
I will rise yet again.
For I am a phoenix
And I live for the flame.
RevelationsI've thought about her every day for a yearMore Like This
Many come many go but none were so dear
She's what wakes me up, what puts me to sleep
I've tried and I've cried but these wounds are so deep
They kill me a little with each passing day
I've locked up my heart but still they stay
So here I'm stuck and it kills me to say
That I wouldn't change a thing, I still love her today

Gasping from fear
Inside this mind
There's evil here
The things you see
The things you don't
They twist and change
But reason won't
When all is done
When all is said
Your mind will leave you
Alone, for dead
End This Day
End This Day
Send me an angel
Just take it away
A moment of Truth
One Guiding Light
My mind is set
I will win this fight
I fight for this
This image here
All is black
But this is clear
When all was lost
When all had failed
This Light did shine
I had prevailed
Egyptian Love LetterDo you remember the total darkness? When the stars lost their luster and I, I knowing you were afraid of the dark came to your house. And you loved me, and I loved you and we loved each other for being in love with one another. I told you, "Even if you don't love you, I do." I sat on your roof with you and in total darkness, we rolled a joint. "This is your life in paper." you said. "Don't waste it." The only light was the red cherry at the end, I could see your features in the dim light, I wanted to kiss every part of you. You sucked in and resting your hand on mine, passing my free hand the joint. You held your own, breathing out the awkwarMore Like This
How I Wish You Were Here...I saw you yesterday. I've missed you, you know that. You saw me too, but turned away, which is understandable, I guess. But that hurt. In the thirty seconds we spent in the same place, I was drowning in my memories, holding back and not giving anything away.More Like This
I saw the times we stood together, not seeing the rest of the world spinning by, ignoring the stares of strangers worn out by the love they'd never had. I remembered wrapping my arms around your neck and your hands on my back, and my waist. I remembered that feeling in my chest when your soft cheek rubbed against mine, and I felt your kiss on my lips. Did you remember that when you saw m
Dinner And A ShowTaking a deep breath, I slowly climbed the seven steps onto the stage. "The lucky seven," they called them, although whether or not they would be lucky for me was yet to be determined. I could feel the burning heat of the stage lights on my skin, instantly causing me to feel slightly more faint, and making sweat seep out from beneath the many layers of stage make-up I was wearing. My outfit was carefully selected for this night, weeks ago - a pale pink silk dress that fell smoothly in a pool around my feet and tied up around the back of my neck in a tiny little bow. My hair and nails were perfect, my make up, though heavy, appeared natural anMore Like This
