Away, far away, and further still.
Beyond rumble and tremble and thrill,
where spies out of shadows hold no sway,
there lies a chamber of stone, with no bars, nor locks or divides.
Every evening,
my weary eyes rest upon the memory of time and its ever shifting, ever stalwart tides.
That is where my heart abides.
My heart resides just below the rusty rail.
Over a watchful window, a silky veil of green sunlight falls like a curtain of fleeting dreams and a blooming hazel tree beneath the frail mist conceals a passageway to emerald fields.
Each morning,
I am drawn nearer and nearer to you, for that is how my mind endures.
That is why my heart never yields.

Here I stand
Following its steady flow fleeing over the edge.
And while I can't always see it for the teardrops
I know it's there.
As sure as the glitter on its face
I know it's there.
Proudly and truly
Defying every barrier
The river runs through me.

The very moment I first gazed upon your splendour
Your fiery eyes gave away the woeful reflection of my soul.
And amidst this endless pyre
Danced a song of yearning
And desire.
Relentless. Rebellious. Irrepressible.
As if alight to chase away my faithless doubts
Your fiery eyes called to me
And I followed them home.

The flowers I brought you
on that starlit night
were like fragments of delicate dreams,
glorious in their tenderness.
Yet you,
in your innocent wisdom,
dismissed them with a smile
and took me to where dreams are made instead.

Listen.
Hear the sky burst open
and cover the world in emerald pearls.
Feel.
Embrace the glorious chaos
from which new life is born.
Go.
And wherever your path may take you,
tread softly.
I bid you open up your heart
and tread softly,
for the world might be willing to follow you home.

She is like a thunderstom
at the height of summer,
cherished for bringing life
to a barren land,
while scorned for interfering
with the radiance of the sun.
God knows she is a world on her own,
a dance of nature
in her most primeval form
disregarding the order
and shunning the chaos.
A wonderwall.

Listen.
Can you hear the world
struggling for its breath?
Can you feel its tears
rushing through your lungs?
Do you share its fears?
Lend your breath to the world.
Fill its lungs with raging hope
and see serenity shining through
the eye of the storm.
Remember,
no storm’s meant to last.
This one too is here to upset,
to question,
to teach,
and shall eventually pass.

I'm not searching anymore.
Cross my heart.
You know where to find me.
X marks the spot.

You're only here
when my days are bright.
As the dark lays heavy on my eyes,
as I crave your comfort
and find assurance in your lies,
you disappear,
and for all my anguish and despise
I can't help myself
loving a shadow.

I put my heart inside a heartbeat
And called it… life.
I sent a flicker
through the eternity of a moment,
and watched it tangle
between the roots of fate.
In the eyes of promise, I am a beggar…
I reign over the Undefined.
Sometimes I wander o’er its hills
and wonder,
is the cold in my fingers
here to stay?
As the clock goes tick I learn the ways of love.
By the time it goes tack I’ve mastered hate.
At the crossroads of faith,
I pause,
and hold on to the truth that thrives
inside each and every heartbeat.
It's my life I can't ignore.
Death is just… that.
Nothing less.
Nothing more.
