Alight with you my love I float among the cloudy waves

Holding on the wind a fevered fear that prolongs my only days

Not to see or to swim amongst the damp and fallen dew

But to glide along your endless shore and stroke the plain of you

Winds they blow and change their course to challenge my fancied flight

only a challenge against strong wings in this long and primal night

Starry witnesses show the way to this floating passionate soul

earthen desires abandoned forever to wrestle in this stranglehold

How heavy the days are.
There's not a fire that can warm me,
Not a sun to laugh with me,
Everything bare,
Everything cold and merciless,
And even the beloved, clear
Stars look desolately down,
Since I learned in my heart that
Love can die.
'Twas midnight in the schoolroom
And every desk was shut
When suddenly from the alphabet
Was heard a loud "Tut-Tut!"

Said A to B, "I don't like C;
His manners are a lack.
For all I ever see of C
Is a semi-circular back!"

"I disagree," said D to B,
"I've never found C so.
From where I stand he seems to be
An uncompleted O."

C was vexed, "I'm much perplexed,
You criticise my shape.
I'm made like that, to help spell Cat
And Cow and Cool and Cape."

"He's right" said E; said F, "Whoopee!"
Said G, "'Ip, 'Ip, 'ooray!"
"You're dropping me," roared H to G.
"Don't do it please I pray."

"Out of my way," LL said to K.
"I'll make poor I look ILL."
To stop this stunt J stood in front,
And presto! ILL was JILL.

"U know," said V, "that W
Is twice the age of me.
For as a Roman V is five
I'm half as young as he."

X and Y yawned sleepily,
"Look at the time!" they said.
"Let's all get off to beddy byes."
They did, then "Z-z-z."

REAL
Even the deepest ocean's
has light
hidden at the back of your head

am crazy
cause
they turn me
turn me
until i fall

come on, come on
smile now
smile for the sky

people often ask
were are you going...
to tell you the truth
no were...
am going no were
am just a typical man
finding something to fill this hole
buried deep inside me

maybe just a place were
the grass is greener
were the air is cleaner
and were the clouds are whiter

maybe just a place
a place...
were people smile
smile
for the sky
sky

hey don't do that
don't let your eyes
fall to the floor

just take and throw
take and throw that
mask...
that hides you from this world

there's that beautiful smile
now look up to the sky
and laugh
laugh
with the sky
Bittersweet,
lick the rim,
feel the chill,
on your skin.
Piercing liquid,
climbs down your throat
Yet lifting up,
in the room you float.
Your vision struggles,
to keep up.
As you tip the glass,
and begin to ****.
And a grin streaks your face
But it lacks it’s natural grace.
Artificial happiness,
Results in bitter loneliness.
Regret always follows,
When the day strays to tomorrow.
Addiction keeps you faded
Far into the moonshine
You have waded.
The bad taste
Turns times to waste.
Your twisted into a wicked trick.
Whisky dreams come and go too quick.
But life keeps going
The pain,
still growing.
Without you even knowing.
You
Your the one
Precious as gold
My empty hands
Wish to hold
Smiles, much more than a curve
Laughs unleash, love much deserved
Time together
Goes too fast
Without you
I swear I'd crash
You don't only help,
When I am down
You make me feel,  
Like I could never frown
When you talk
I'm lost in your words
A daydreamy sound,
Is all I heard.
I just want to be
In your arms
I've fallen hard
For your charm.
you have this subtle curl of hair
just behind your ear
& I always see it when you're
driving
'cause I can't ever look right at
you
your gaze is pure heat
& I may begin to
evaporate
given enough
time

your pedestal
is made out of innocence
as well
& I cannot help but wonder
if we were always meant
for a lost boys
sort of life
never truly growing
old

we could paint our own
dinners
we could stop cashing in on
the cold

I could age gracefully as long
as I live by the
water

where the sun is always
warm
& my skin is made of
gold
