and i, the diaphanous dew
that rests on
wilted leaves,
her petals once young,
strong, and suave,
now but infirm and
moribund.
and i, the rip'ning
fruit that hangs of
hoary branch,
his body once firm,
now weathered and worn,
conscious of the coming
scythe.
and i, the wand'ring plume,
carried by the gales
of june, once ensconced
atop the fair swan,
though i parted
long ago.
and i, the lacrimose
heart, that ports the
wounds of loss, will
surcease anon to beat,
and embrace my rest eterne.

lotus specter-white,
cradled by the nippon fields,
beauty eternal.

your flesh—
tincture of
the swan’s
plumage—
phantasm-blanc.
your eyes—
suave-ciel
like the pleasant
waters of
crete.
your hair—
gilded
gossamer
strands
like the
aurum
silk of
cambodia.
your brow—
grace
delicacy
incarnate—
like the
brushstrokes of
hiroshige.

if all of earth's creatures were blind,
would color still exist?

it doesn't matter how you dress,
or the music you listen to,
or the movies you watch,
or what your dreams are...
as long as you are happy,
and healthy
and your
actions don't harm others,
keep dressing how you dress,
keep listening to the music you listen to,
keep watching the movies you watch,
keep dreaming...
do what you do
never stop being you...

o the wingéd nyx!
thou heed’st thy mind fatigued,
and slumber seek’st.
phoebus doth await,
soon to arise, lucent form!
such is destiny.
and will i wake then,
to hail his or-coated rays,
to greet day's creatures.
lark, thy song sweet come!
diurnal clarity, come!
when day alas dawns.

when she cries, it rains
when she angers, it thunders
when she laughs, it shines

eyes cerulean,
hair gold-burnished, scarlet-streaked,
never to be mine.

Still sky of ebony,
So silent are the streets,
Town’s quiet but I
Can't sleep at all
I hurt the most come eve,
Jealous thoughts and scary dreams,
Why can't I just turn
My mind off?
I've not her gilded wings,
I've not his beauty,
Why do I lie and say I’m not
Another one of envy’s victims?
I tell myself sweet things,
But I still focus on this pain,
And I, I wish that I could shake you
From my thoughts
But like snow in Summer’s heat,
It just doesn’t happen,
It just doesn’t happen
I wish we would never meet
But here we are again,
Here we are again
I heard you left last Spring,
May came, you turned twenty-three,
Moved back in with your ma and pa,
But Ma hurt, and Pa would drink,
I know it wasn't easy,
But you stayed ‘cause you were
All they got
You told them you would never leave,
Tired of the city,
You would start a new life
Far from it
Mom passed next morning,
Did Dad cry or say anything?
Or comfort you
As you wept?
I know you want him to be
There for you when knocks misery
You just want him
To care enough
But like snow in Summer heat
It just won’t happen,
It just won’t happen
When I close my eyes it's you I see,
And I’m scared you’ll find someone else,
I’m scared you’ve found someone else.
No more’s the sky ebony,
Cold dawn over Autumn streets,
Another night where I
Didn't sleep at all
Three years, we still don't speak,
I wonder how you're doing
This city life's become too much
Been thinking of moving,
Maybe settle down, find somebody,
Build something I can call my own,
Well I hope fate's good to me,
I've been down on my luck lately,
I just hope things start looking up,
And if cross our paths, then we
Can share fond memories,
And what we think the future holds,
And like snow after Summer heat,
It could always happen,
It could always happen,
No one knows what time will bring,
We'll just have to wait and,
We'll just have to wait and...
Wish for the best.
