Voice Over: Val Cole
POEM:
You have no spirit you have no warmth
When you’ve heard the lock on the door
Listen to what your sorrows are
Tell me is it you that leads me from dying, rage and fiercest grief
Be alert the snakes lie at your feet
Is there any other who suffers so hard a fate?
And since you know these walls and binding chains
Of this cold prison hide me in its depths
You are blind you are desperate
When you walk down trails pathless
Listen to what your sorrows are
Tell me is it you that leads me stumbling
Thru these streets filled with restless dreams
My eyes frowning at the sun when the morning comes
Is there any way to escape these laws of destiny?
And since you are walking between night
And dawn of day it is here you shall remain
You have no insight you have no reflection
You’ve heard the shadows call
Listen to what your sorrows are
Tell me is it you that leads me from suffering and dismay
Know that we all fall
Are there any words not so tired to do any good?
And since you’ve given me the answer
Take what is left for yourself

one by one,
until the mirror became a place
I could no longer stand to look.They say,...

Poetry by Val Cole
POEM:
I.
How heavy the tires that drive you
Through fireworks in the street.How plain the lies that hide you,
The blood and myth behind you
Is nothing new to me.Beautiful I find you,
To wrap two legs around you,
Surrounded by the safety of my fear.Steady, love reminds...

POETRY Reading: Romance Poem by Arria...
Performed by Val Cole
POEM:
Your love isn’t something I would willingly give away.
I wouldn’t dare make a mistake, so that your love would decay.
They say I’m on a leash, but I wouldn’t care anyway.
Your love is for me like a flower on a rainy day.
