A single star shoots through the sky.
Followed closely by another.
Blitzing through the starry night.
Connected in their wonder.

The first one darts across the blue.
Leaving its train to fail.
The second slides along with ease.
Using a similar trail.

This vision bright reminds me of,
Two lovers in their day.
One running from the other.
Being chased all the way.

The second star is so in love,
He couldn't let her go.
And so he runs after her,
as she flits to and fro.

So as they vanish in the night,
I can't help but think,
Will he ever catch his love?
As they're lost in a blink.

I hope someday he'll reach his goal.
To hold forever more.
Fixated into a single place.
Til death is at the door.

Two small star across the sky.
Whispering hopes of love.
Now staying right where they belong
Chained together up above.

cruelly,love
walk the autumn long;
the last flower in whose hair,
they lips are cold with songs

for which is
first to wither,to pass?
shallowness of sunlight
falls,and cruelly,
across the grass
Comes the
moon

love,walk the
autumn
love,for the last
flower in the hair withers;
thy hair is acold with
dreams,
love thou art frail

—walk the longness of autumn
smile dustily to the people,
for winter
who crookedly care.
Beep, beep, beep
The sound of the monitor is strong and steady.
Beep, beep, beep
The sound of life, familiar and unchanging.

Beep, beep, beep
A constant noise, reminding us that we are alive
Beep, beep, beep
It is something we come to depend on, that incessant shrill.

I stand perched on the edge of the rabbit hole,
Gazing into its depths, the dark is so alluring - so peaceful.
Beep
I take a step forward hoping to see through the blackness
Only to find myself walking down a slippery *****.
Beep, beep

Things suddenly slow down, the monitor grows quiet.
Beep...beep...beep...
Vibrant colors begin to fade, turning into a dull monochromatic hue.
Beep.....beep.....beep.....

As I travel down this precarious path
I begin to wonder how I will climb back up.
I shove the thought to the back of my mind
My forward momentum overcoming any second thoughts.

The earth suddenly disappears from beneath my feet!
I find myself in an unexpected free-fall,
Trying to grab on to anything I can find,
I cry for help, only to find my mouth sewn shut.

The darkness that was so attractive before shows its true colors,
Of which there are none - a void bereft of light.
Panic takes me with a cold grasp,
Squeezing the warmth out of my heart.

As I fall, I look up at where I came from,
Only to see a mere pinpoint of white.
The dark is swallowing me whole,
And I become paralyzed by fear.

My descent into the dark has only begun,
And all the while I strain my ears for the sound of life,
Only to find it has nearly disappeared.
The noise that irritated me so before has become my only friend.

Beep.....beep................

let light in darkness fall
for you are the sun and i the moon
as you descend upon me in your radiance
like the sun cresting the hills at dawn
strewn across the bare morning sky
the stars faded into your eyes
casting delicate constellations
that rapture my heart in waves
and everytime i lose myself there
drowned by the sweet surrender of speech
as if all i speak is the red sea on clear water
painting the sun with shadows from my back
where instead you create shade from harrowing night

extinguish not your light upon the brink
for in the night without your luminous beacon
i cannot awake

Her
Her flawless skin was as pale as the moon
A glance of her intoxicating green eyes intrigued me
Perfectly arched eyebrows added to her faultless face
The two fangs in her perfect smile were riveting
Beauty shone on the inside and out
Her voice was enchanting like a flowing river
And her heart was as warm as sunshine
She showed kindness to any stranger
Never in a million years would I find another that compared to
Her

My little cage held in place
No dreams to chase
Like a bird with no wings
Like a butterfly without color
A man with no honour
My little cage
with its brass bars
I hear the passing cars
I watch the twinkling stars
For my little cage
Is stronger than steel
The pain is so real
the world passes me by
as i slowly die
in
my little cage

into the river of no return
the tears that shake us
the fears that break us
When you know you're nothing but a little puppet
with tangled strings
caught in the mist,of what life brings
The door shut
no way out
no scream,from your mouth
You wish it never happened
you wish you didnt see
the ending life,what could it be?
Nothing can be done
the pain has begun
You can move on
you can fake a smile
but the joy that you had last
will always last a while
