What colors are growing around us,
In the space between our breaths?
heavy wings don't carry
hushed whispers scream
night ticks on forever
like falling in a dream
What colors are growing around us,
In the empty space between our breaths?

when parallel worlds collide
no words may be spoken
of the chaos left inside
how about this
you were not there
it was not real
my missing parts
you did not steal
digging deeper
deepest down
I found some thing
made me bold
alchemical gold
cannot be bought
cannot be sold
still brought a lot of trouble to my door
future, present and what went before.

My shadows will eat you
One grey day, a nefarious
Nibble
One decimated dream, a brutish
Bite
One more night by the window, a gargantuan
Gulp
One more always regret, a slow and sealing
Slurp
My shadows, they ate you up
One golden drop at a
Time

Do I have
a one-track mind
I sit and watch
the wheelbarrow
fill to the brim
with
and I search and search
but I never seem to find
you or ever come close
to hitting that high note

staring out the window,
I remember you as you were
a bird always in flight
a fist full of tomorrows
held in the palm of your hand
staring out the window at the pouring rain
the warmth of your hand
pinions of a dove's wing
your hand in mine
I will not see the shadow
under your smile
gathering all the light in the room
like a flower in the sun
I remember you as you were

be silent
words are dangerous
this is no time to speak
a little censorship
is what keeps everybody free
and if you disagree
then you will see
your star shall fall
say what we tell you to
or don't say anything at all

for you I would do anything
anywhere
the others can think what they want
I don't care
if I wrote this for them they would
like it more
but I don't want a dozen hearts
I want yours
