the flowers growing on your lips
make it hard to remember
is this a part of me or a pretender?
do I fight this or do I surrender?
I’ll see, with a kiss
from there I’ll go
ohayō, lips
お早うございます

it’s just this

no wonder there’s no wonders
the dirt that somehow shines
wandering in every other corner
the green gleaming on thorny cactus’ sides

it isn’t bad, why search for a cause to frown on
it happens just as any good thing does
who else to blame for the war if not the cannon
how else to cope - with loudness and bold cries

the wrong that isn’t negative
the thought that did not ****
the cheater righteous, ready to leave
the sickness calling for a bitter pill
this...
it positively
just
is

to tell a hope aloud
a truth we’d love to be
but isn’t
is bringing other needs
needs not nurtured,
needs all drizzled
to get warm
and bite and warn
of others waking up
and making up
a cloudy castle
that sweetly chimes and hustles,
come to life
a life so fragile, so unsure
that realizing it’s not true
breaks it into millions of pieces
of glass
that, I wish, would cut my throat
or at least my tongue out

ever slept on broken bottles?

strangers
in me, in you, in all of them
the people we know and never can

get in
wrap our head around
cause in truth we’re all alone and mad

strangers
that we feel so dearly about
that we give ourselves a right to pout

to, chat
step in their life’s wisdom’s walk
even if it’s an empty, irrelevant talk

strangers
to you, to me, all of us, strange
unknown in the light of today’s change

so, although
you cannot see
my complex lil’ tree
isn’t so strong
how can we make the other
feel the me

my little two sided sword
not anymore sharp enough to slay
don’t be afraid of the horde
that fear is melting away

my dearest broken down shield
don’t take that role much too far
in the end I’ll want to yield
put you face down on the ground

my old, gold armor of rust
protect me just those few steps
fall down with one final blast
the last thing to do is to rest

Killian, bells in need
chime like the music box
singing in mist, the fox
makes a good dancing lead

Killian, love’s a deed
just like your helping is
however small in this
stories are made to read

Killian’s precious hands
hugging so slow, so hard
hug more, boy, without that
I might be losing pants

Killian, salutes three
for my three treasures lost
on such note, lovely host
****-me-and make me free
