Until ink, instead of blood but just as warm, will run.
I saw it in a magazine, on a gloomy indoors night. The art of deconstructing;      I read the article. It took things apart, but didn't place them back together. Deconstructing, where taking apart someone's soul becomes as easy as unscrewing a box. Deconstructing, we take each part and lay it tidily over a white table. And we do too, deconstruct. Like children unhappy of their building blocks masterpiece, we fall apart. Everything we ever thought we were comes away with a blow of the wind. We dissect our minds, and become like all the others, broken,      empty. We deconstruct and build ourselves upon society's stereotypes. We moun our lawn of personality, all of our flowers gone. Crushes, smashes, sounds of death. We have become like all the others. The art of deconstructing, or as they call it, the Art of tiding up.

The art of Deconstructing
He heard it all the loss, the pain how she was no longer sane. Evenings spent kneeling, crying and screaming, over a white cup, begging. for what these lines begin with. Like a broken lightbulb, he watched her light fade and nothing stayed not even the Pages she filled, begging for whatever it is these lines begin with.

Help.
There you are, lonely and broken and colourless. In those pictures, in the film, in my mind. You stood, colourless but proud, over a place that wasn't yours, And it didn't look yours, because it was never meant to be, we both knew. You stood, lonely and cold, and fragile despite all that desired magnificence. Because we both knew, they would turn you into dust someday... Now you stay, fragments of your dust in a ziploc bag No name, just faded blue and pink and yellow and memories of a time that never came. Your clock, the bridge, those arrows always on the same time, why were they always on the same time the time of end, Twelve' o clock, a faded dragon... I've been there: your roof, those burgundy doors. Is this a real place, or not...? This colourless land of a time that never came yet time, give it time... "TEN YEARS!" - they said, yelled. Then nothing came, and lonely you stood. And I'm sorry, that I couldn't save you not even a last goodbye I loved you. I'm sorry. And now nothing stays of a time that never came. I'm sorry, my Wonderland.

仙境 - Wonderland
She sits at the front of the bus, curved over a black pram. The fox looks out, then looks at the little one she's holding in her arms. Her nose points up, her small mouth is tightly shut. The fox has nothing to say today. She carries a bag of flowers. Her nails have a dark red polish on that is falling into pieces. Her small, dark eyes scan everything. First out then him then me. She smiles, and looks for compassion. The fox has nothing to say today.

The Fox
Come with me, what are you afraid of…? The dark? Don't worry, I'll lead you to the brightest garden on earth. Where nothing hurts, and light predominates our dreams. I'll help you feel the rings I wear on my fingers, one by one. Maybe you should kiss me, take me far away, and I assure you I won't come back, not without you. What should I do? Spend another sleepless night, wondering about the taste of your lips? Or just remembering them on my cheek, I'm tired of photocopying each day upon the last one. So come with me, what are you afraid of? Drag me down a hill again, hold me in your arms again. Come with me. We'll go buy a box of pastels, so that our spring can look younger. So that you can rip a page a draw us instead. Content, on a hill. Near a forest, one step away from our glory, gardening.

On gardening.
It smelled like you. Like wilderness, like us. The window was white, from all the broken breaths we took on the fifth day. Then all of a sudden, it smelled like butter, frying in a pan. Smell of someone's 2 AM dinner. It smelled like the life we were supposed to get back to. And then like grass, wet, clean, recently cut grass bursting with life of a summer that existed only with you. i swear, like a suitcase or a bag, you took it with you: a burst of daisies sitting in your pocket, waiting for someone to look deep enough to find them. Daisies, and rabbits, and butterflies. And in between condensation against a window pane, and your lips, you became my everything. What are the odds… butter, butterflies… We're just holding onto a piece of melting butter, fusing under our own sun.

Butter
We were just like a handful of stars scattered upon an early summer sky. Droplets, of golden dust. Your scars... And since I didn't know better, I fell. Right when you broke in my arms, and sighed like a child. Our matching scars… Can you understand? I just wanted to be the nurse to fix you. And if I knew, you were going to last for a moment only like dust, I would've held on tighter. Us, nomads of the sunshine, never grown children of the past.

Dust
Again, I've had too much wine. Mulled, cold this time, and my thoughts are so forbidden. I want to feel those characters, sink into my flesh, before I grow too old, one day too old, one idea could change everything. Ink on ink, ink on skin, skin on blood until ink, instead of blood but just as warm, will run. And I, will let those seeds you planted bloom, regardless. Like summer that burned down broken ashes of who I never was and brought me back to life. So are you willing…? Are you drinking…? From this goblet of life that sets us on fire. So please, put my flames out, with water not wine, before I'm nothing but ashes.

Structured Chaos
Your cup lays there, unwashed, untouched. One spot is darker, alive, and it touched your lips. One, two, a hundred times you took, a hundred sips. Again, and again, touched those lips I wish, I could've kissed those lips. So give me your soul drip by drip, Just one, two, a hundred sips.
