Dynamite & Whisper

All Words By : Stewart Alexander

Hiding in eccentricity

Hearts sunk in funeral pyres

Symphonic dialects the worry and suns

Of all my red desires

 

My history maker always lends

From glamour to my final dust

We are dynamite & whisper

From iron strength to crumbled rust

 

Expose the morning as a fraud

It only replies to the dark

For I've seen my own death

In wildlife the roads the park

 

I've had my own private plane crash

This beautiful child leaves a point

Crush the front pages with your car

With all you choose to leave or anoint 

Eat your air before the dust empowers it

Of the stigmatic outward forceful while

Hungry but sweating faces indecency

Tyranny menus the girl with the smile

 

I feel the presence of ghosts on white horses

In my drunken future already mapped

Cherry trees control the strong winds

In which I feel lost and trapped

 

Pandemonium requiem begins to squeeze

Play with the weak the shunned the kind

Drip-feed metaphors on the high

For age is an echo of my mind

This is great. One line stands out to me, \"Tyranny menus the girl with a smile\" mostly because I\'ve never seen \'menu\' used in this way. What does it mean?

I don\'t know   maybe tyranny want to eat her..    

Hi Stewart Your writing leaves me to feel I am so inadequate as a writer, myself.  While, your words (each and every one of them)-fit, and find a place in the sentence- they transcend- to give a lyrical conceptualization of a mood, a moment or an act of some kind- of what is and what isn\'t -this is what makes your poems profound- something bigger than the page it is written on- I am truly a fan!..regards Mike  

all art is relative mate.. never feel inadequate .. we all have our colours and styles.. and all of us matter and create our own ..    I love that you love my work.. as you know, my style isn\'t everyone\'s cup of tea!many thanks my friend.. stewie
