Curious, mind, core - Tell me, not with words I wish to know, so enlighten Look at me, and tame my eyes And let your soul speak to mine And if you cannot understand Or if I do see yours there that Yours wouldn't care to know that you are not mine, then At least the truth is so set By eyes, they don't lie As do this, my heart Half yours, of mine Let seeing blind And blind see If I, you can't Then let be, To bid bye O eyes, try.

Seeing Blind
Your warmth, shining halo, Makes light of the weight of the world, And they hold me up, hoping I'll be able to stand on my own - grounded, but flying, And just as, if not, warmer.

Just As
The wintry coldest cold is but a fan To this frying frigid heart of mine Can't thaw, be it by any fiery sun Let alone fair weather Summer fine, Flowers bloom but the garden's Overflowing with seeds, unopened, Birds soon in unison sing, harken - Does judgment day come unnoticed? Will I ever wake to bid, see my end?

Unmoved
Then there were three pairs of eyes - The head's, the mind's, the heart's, All seek to sort, learn, to find out The roles surrounding, play part - Each stone, each breath, each soul Each entwining and leaving whole, Doors open, doors close, windows exciting, terrifying, intriguing you; Will you find, or raise your barriers? Will you go out, or stay still within? All this in a day in the life of being, All this seeing, sighting, being human.

Three Pairs
Sand, sand and dust, dust These stones you thought You built unbreakable, no These in turn will turn into Sand, sand and dust, dust And all towers and castles With time, become ruins so - The cycle is a cycle for ages What stops the destruction Or what delays it, resets it, Though futile, so to extend it, Is love; palaces and hovels fragile letters and trinkets - Statues young, statues old, They all stay preserved with They all last longer long with A little bit, or a lot, of love - I'm no one to judge, give it All or little of the love you can to watch it stick, to watch it stand Or slowly crumble in the end, Dust, dust and sand, sand.

All Or Little Of
Nerves fulminate, fissuring skin As bones crackle, to weary tear, Volcanic face, pooling hot tears, Gaia weeps, her world despairs, All of land's flora, and all of seas, Erupt, displeasure at man's villainy.

Despair, Displeasure
Hold onto my string Tug on me, don't let me go Little balloon full of wishing That I may stay by your side Come winds high and low And when I lose all my bounce All my air and floaty sense Take me, tie me down still Until I fully deflate, by then Let me be held, never freed Teach you how to grasp, show me how much my insignificance matters at least.

Teach You, Show Me
Instincts shrink when love is on the table for instincts are for survival And love is for a dying in the grandest ritual possible And although as my gut tells me Warns me to be on my guard Cautioning, my brain is mush And so is my own heart - Dampen my instincts then, Love, have me be ****** Take all of my very existence, Sacrificing survival on insistence.

My Gut
O Prince Charming - O so young There with lyre, just horsing around, Maidens sought and maidens fair, (Or prance along stable boys, I don't care) Glowing sunlit golden hair, kept well, Yet have at me an Alexander though, great conqueror and builder hold, Prince be ****** give me a king Give me an emperor to so tempt, Not an inexperienced boy on slights but a battle-hardened man, a ruler instead.

Instead
Lion you are, All dressed in sheep's garbs fooling no one but your own, Mirror, mirror, In woolen comb a bleating roar Trying to blend when you were made to hunt - as the pride is out waiting for It's Tsar, to rule.
