Theres revolution in the air.
Whiskey in my cup.
Chess on the table.
Chaos without and within.

With every move I make. The king must never die.
But the Queen is the most powerful piece.
Lose the Queen and you lose the game!
It's all about the girl.

The girl who easily stole my heart.
But where are you?
Flying high with the Sparrows?
Or in the deep with the Sirens?

Wheres your sweet song?
Whats your gaze setting upon?
Which subject are you talking about?
Who will check on who first.

I must make the first move.
We are at a stalemate.
You cannot move a piece.
You need to protect your king.

Give me the crown!
Let me be king.
I'll protect you.
Turn the Queen to a Goddess.

I miss you
I do.
It's not a lie.
This, I know is true.

Once a Muse is there.
It shall remain to taunt the writer.
Inspire the artist to create.
Fuel the thinker to wonder.

I want to write;
But im running out of paper.
I want to write;
But it hurts with every word I jot down.

I want to create;
Make things to put you in them.
I want to create;
But I can't show you anything.

I want to think;
Think of you and I, against all odds.
I want to think;
But Im too lost in my own head.

Im out of papers. Ive written too much, yet cannot stop.
My memory is fill. Ive imagined to my own exhaustion.
Im out of time. Ive created my own utopia.

I cant breathe. Im anxious.
I cant eat. My stomach hurts.
I cant let go. My heart is in tourment.

Ugh
I lay in bed a night.
Hoping I'd hear from you.
Wishing you were thinking of me.

What happened to the long nights of discussion.
What happened to the warm nights in your arms.
What happened to the everlasting gaze in your eyes.

They say distance helps separate people.
But not when theres unfinished business.
Not like this. This doesn't feel right.

I have the motivation to fight.
I have the reason to fight.
Yet, i don't have the blessing to fight for you.

You want me to hate you.
Make it easier for you.
But I harbour no hate for you.

I am jealous of what he has.
I am sorry for what I lost.
I am empty because you're silent.

Light up some sage.
Bring down your cauldron.
Put a candle on.
Let the rain be your music.

I am no wizard.
Nor am I a man of god.
But in times like these.
Maybe I should believe in someone.

Who am I?
A man split in two.
Consumed by anger.
Driven by freedom.

I am containing myself.
Holding back.
Baby, this isn't who I am.
I fight for what I want.

Think not of is as an act of selfishness...I am not selfish.
Nor as an act of heroism...I am no hero.
But because I understand what you are, who you are.
Im holding myself back. Fighting myself.

Finding a reason...why should I stop?
It's because you respect her boy.
You fool. Slave to love.
Captive of your own desires.

I am no wizard.
Nor am I a man of god.
But in times like these.
Maybe I should believe in myself.

Light up some sage.
Let the ashes fall in the heathen ***.
Get that sentimental pendant...
And wear that red gem around your neck.

You
I attempted to move forward tonight.
I was with a different crowd.
There was a girl I though I might like.
But all i could think of was you.

She isn't you.
Non of them walk like you.
Talk like you.
None of them give out the same energy.

How am I supposed to move on?
How can I?
I'm ******* up.
Its hard holding back.

I can talk to you. But I'm doing this for you. Not me. If it were be I'd be there.
Still in the picture.
But I was hurting and confusing you.

But how can I know if you're ok?
How can I make sure he is respecting you?
How can I know he is giving you what you need?
Or that he sees you as you?

All I want to do is connect.
Break the silence.
I'm afraid you'll forget me.
I'm afraid you've already started to drift away.

There is a lion up above embedded in the stars.
At midpoint between the stars and the sea, flashes a green light.
Slightly above sea level are two people sharing conversation.
And below in the deep sea are two fish tied together.

The lion roared filling the girl up with interest.
The fish stirred up the current making sure his conversation remains interesting.
The green light flashed brighter with each passing second.
Making sure they remained safe and the night remains lit.

They connected on that night.
Soul, heart and mind.
The attraction was there.
But only poems could reveal what they felt.

Forbidden and forsaken.
Yet still driven towards each other.
Old souls re connected.
Ancient feelings re visited.

You're my temple.
I could talk to you.
Tell you everything.
You wouldn't judge.

The shadows are consuming me.
The nights are getting longer.
I can't sleep nor rest.
I'm exhausted.

I felt safe with you.
I felt at home.
Now, I'm by myself.
Away from sanctuary.
