“Our” Sacrifice poetry by Silencio Barnes She demanded that I cut open my shell and let drip my burning soul onto her frigid altar The steam, she said, that arises from such a conflagration would rekindle that imaginary, burning, thing that we thought we had lost so long ago She hands me the knife, for no sacrifice is sacred unless done by one’s own hand We both held our breath as I raised the blade to Our neck And once again, as before the sharp edge pierces only her And she bleeds And I, with impassive serenity, walk away, as […]
Who Should Make the First Move?
This is a response to a question asked by a friend on FaceBook “Ladies, if you like a guy do you make the first move or wait until he moves on you?” Me: Don’t wait too long – that’s a mistake that women seem to make a lot – some dudes just won’t take that first step until YOU let him know that you’re feeling him some sort of way – that’s why I like bold women – just put it out there in the air ya know, and let him make a decision from there. However, someone else said something that […]

Morning

Every Minute
Note: This song is old. It was the first full song I ever recorded. I think quality-wise, it sounds terrible. However, to this day, people love the damn thing. The production notes (such as they are) are below the lyrics – they are from 2005…enjoy. Every Minute Lyrics for Every Minute She was a sign straight from the skies sublime fine sweeter than wine Honey coated caramel dime beauty defined A body that would make angels cry Walking my Earth like Heaven disguised she filled my mind with desires Like fate rolling the dice we caught contact of eyes You remind […]
