valued tome
scarce words
inscribed stone
laid down
crushed bone
mere dust
whispered love
poets tryst
forgotten name
weathered silence
green vine
shadows fall.

nivek
out the silence
'from the nothing'

faces searching
'with candle flame'

an unending forever
lit with stars.

Nature's best musicians sing
Over lakes and ponds and streams
Sweet and salty waters hum
My guitar strings gently strum

Let the melody of worlds
Convey her gentle sound through you
Drown in deep blues
Sing in strong reds
So that you might live in purples

Follow singing rivers ahead
Go where no man's ever tread
Stay until you lose yourself
Stay until you lose your self
Still waiting for the good times?
they'll come
and hopefully, before you get run
over by a bus,
because everyone bar none are
procrastinating
and
that's why most people are late in
to work.

Exaggeration pops out like perspiration on
a marathon runner in the summer on that long road
and we're going nowhere.

but we're happy if we're happy and know no different.
Who can know
just where the water flows,
we can only ride
travelling with the tide,
life is a journey
however brief,
each of us sailing
a helpless spinning leaf

The only reason I didn't give you a chance
Was because my *** was the reason
I caught your glance
You said
At the rate I'm plucking my feathers
No one will ever desire me as much as you would
I battled you with my morale
As much as I could
Cause I knew
Boys like you
Dancing on the edge of their manhood
Never ever understood
