are you
the slightest bit
of my favourite old
marigold?
yes, you were
you were marigold all around
bloomed awake all year round
but my beloved summer bloom
left my heart a bit too soon
marigold and its fair beauty
is not as pretty
as i always knew they would be
marigold and its golden locks bloom free
was never fragrant
as i always believed it would be
marigold fitted in early morning's gown
was never sweet
as honey tainted were their crowns
you are
every bit of marigold
that slipped between my bedroom door
and in my gardens marigold tore
you are
every bit of marigold
my favourite bloom in vase displays
in bundles of little amber bouquets
and so do my marigolds wilt fast
golden yellow will be
unpolished brass
these soils take them home
back as seeds in beds of river foams
"goodbye to my
-beloved marigold"
is what i should've said
a long time ago

i fell asleep that one day
between your arms and evening's ray
but i'd like to wake up now
and stop dreaming if i knew how
tell me these tears weren't real
and neither the wounds that i feel
when you left and walked away
tell me you'll come when i wake and stay
wake me up
if not today
promise me you will someday
when i exit moonlight's den
i know you'd smile at me again
it would glow soft with sunlight's beam
then i'd tell you,
"i had a funny dream"
til' i lay awake
i'll ask for a favour
that you could take
hold me while i sleep
so i dont stumble
and tumble
and fumble
and fall too deep

Want to fly
Want to die
Want to live free, a butterfly
Fly away
Far away
Towards the sun as she lays
And in her slumber she says
"Fly high today, tomorrow, and everyday"
"Even forever, there is a way"
"Go fly, go dive, go flutter and thrive"
"But someones home, she stays awake"
"On the front porch she patiently waits"
"Through winter, and fall",
"Spring too, and in summer with faith"
Fly away
Far away
Maybe you would, come back one day
After you live free, a butterfly
She sits on the shore line, she cries
And whispers to you, as you touch the skies
"I love you"
"Goodbye"

i missed how you drew me with words
and the love in your voice,
when i drew sorrow on my arms
black and blue,
where are you?
heal the scars from my lips
seal it with your own
in your arms i'd dream for the night
rest my worries of this long fight
i could sleep to your heartbeat
feel your breath for the warmth it sheaths
black and blue,
where are you?
i'm out here alone
its getting dark
i want to come home
