Your body
Is my pilgrimage
Of worship
A place
Where my hands reach to
Offer absolutions
I use my silvery tongue
To get you around the bend
And tell you that your flesh
Blesses mine, with a stain
That’s more than just skin deep
So I press my heart against yours
Waiting for the two drums
To beat as one
I press my mouth against yours
And eat the words
That died upon your lips
My mouth traces
Every inch of your skin and bones
Until my hunger is satiated
A sliver of the midnight moon
Bathes us while we
Tangle ourselves deeper into one another
Every heavy breath, a sonnet
Every bite, an ode
Every moan, those three tired words
The air is heavy
With the scent of old perfume
While our two bodies talk
The burden on my hands, absolves
The stars in the sky, dissolves
And the argument our bodies have, resolves
As we bloom synchronously

Words speak
What the soul hides
And the soul hides
Behind my eyes
It sees all
Drinking it all in
Feelings left unsaid
Thoughts left un-thought
Just a day ago
All I wanted to do was nothing
And all I ever wanted was a slice
Of that beautiful reality
But I'm hungry for cake
I crave for a pie
I crave for Pi
I crave for transcendence
I have a choice to make
And another tomorrow
Maybe two more, the day
After that
But what if I sit here
And wait
Scared out of my wits
Of regret
Regret is scary
He's big, he's soul crushing
He cripples hope
By just existing
This too shall pass
This everlasting night
Shall turn warm,
Bright, with colours
And maybe then
I'll be happy again
And maybe then
I'll be warm again

Take a sip
Sit down
And talk to me.
I’ll listen
I’ll listen till the night is dead
And the cows have come home.
Pour another glass
And pour your heart out to me
Cause we have nowhere to go
The stars shine bright
And the darkness is still
It’s just you and me.
One more sip,
You’ll tell me things
That you’ve only told yourself
The night listens
Devours our little talks
Into it’s abyss
We laugh
At our hopelessness
In understanding our
Situations
Cause theres nothing
We can do
Or want to do
Besides talk
You talk
And say the purest thing
You’ve ever thought
I talk
Revealing my deepest,
Darkest fear
We go ahead & pour another glass
For the night isn’t dead yet
And there’s so much more
To say

I've been thinking about it
And even though I'm not really square
I fit into a box
All of me, does.
Packaged neatly
With attractive labels
And artwork
Different and obscure
All boxes are the same
Suffocating
Tiny
But, oh so convenient
And every day
I seek a new, shiny label
An ironic stamp
To decorate my box
Cause my box
Is mine
And that's me
And nobody else
You think they all look the same?
Look again
See, mine's got all these cool stickers
That the other boxes haven't found, yet...
I am what I am
And nobody else can be me
Well, unless they get all the cool stuff
That I have on my box
No need to worry, though
I'm leaving my box today
Not cause I don't wanna fit in like everyone else
It's cause I don't know why I was in one
In the first place

This teacher has it all figured out
There is only right and wrong
No shades of grey
One syllabus to rule them all
The mellow sunrise
With colours dancing between yellow and orange
Seems muffled and grey
From a classroom window
Skipping stones
Bouncing marbles
Drumming on pots
Drumming on buckets
They say,
That the teacher learns more from the students..
Then why don't the students lead the class?
This melody that he's drank
Runs in his veins all day.
And every morning,
A new melody runs.
The melody blinds his eye,
As he enters class
And shall be with him when he leaves,
The day's studies already forgotten.
Memorizing lines,
Inking notebooks,
Drumming on desks
Drumming on desks
The afternoon sun
With dancing sun rays and brightness
Seems inviting and warm
When leaving the class
Running out as soon as the bell rings
Jumping with his friends,
It's a long journey home for him
And he has a long song for the road.

The night is young
It leaves a pain in my chest
Fireflies flutter around
Brightening their own lives
Without even realizing
My words will forever
Be lost in the wind
But what I feel in my heart
The dreams I've dreamt
They are yours, and yours forever
My hands in my pocket
Would forever be around you
If they could
But you need not worry, my love
For you're forever my firefly

This fire burns
A fever rising in my limbs
This fire grows
I resist the pain
Show me the truth
For I do not believe it
I reject it
I cannot accept it
Show me the road
For the one I walk on
Has no end
It runs in circles
Show me the light
Show me a way to accept the truth
For if this is the truth. Everything I know is wrong
Show me a way to you
Show me the road to awe

Race towards the rising sun
And retrace your steps back to me
Cause I need this time
I need this time

A call from the other side
Awakes her from her trance
Holding on to herself
Taking a step back
Breathing in the sunshine
And letting it fill her insides
A stain upon her soul
A burden that needs to be carried
The scent of salty water
Warmth of sand between her toes
With a weathered eye upon the horizon
She watches
This Goddess
Has eyes only for the sea
Given up her spirit to the water
It pulls her closer and closer
The Tranquillity provided here
Gives her a surreal release
Her thoughts, pregnant
With belief
Bathing herself in moonlight
With the never-ending wind for company
To the rhythmic beat of the foamy waves
She dances

This photograph of yours
Is all I have
And it's all I'll ever want
For it is more than I bargained for
Like a deep sea diver
You've broken through the surface
Of my being.
The ripples won't fade away
Our consciousness brushes against each other
It's ethereal
Our gazes meet each other from across the room
It feels like we're half a world away
It could have been a day at the beach
Or a midnight stroll
But for the life of me
I can't remember
And it doesn't bother me
For the memory of you
Is etched in my mind
And that's all I need
This song the band played, when I met your gaze
Is all I have
And all I'll ever want
For it's much more than I bargained for.
