The bed lay warm as my eyes turned
to black
I wanted to hear the silence

But the match went on
My pillow hid nothing
Below

Stop is all I prayed
Nothing fixed
Yet all comes broken

My yearn for the peace
From volumes that cried me
Soon the silence

My look
Their view
These poor people that see
No better
For they are the broken angels
They are the lost not found
The devil in his weakness

A clap drowns out
my sound

Such pity rains me over
For I can see the sun
I can taste the water
I can sense the fresh winds of spring
For I have lived
I have stood
I am me

All life returns to the earth
One day my mark will have faded

So I bring a little smile knowing
That I have spawned the ground
behind me
I have drank the water from the
gods
I have written for the future
I have learned and I have
loved    

My world is very small right now

The face that stares before me
Red and angry
All lost to gain from the thumb to my
afterlife
For I care not
As my work is done
Feathers float before my look
My last look

Tick of the time as minutes washed
away
This weight upon these shoulders
spread inside me
My dark came so quick

A crimson black that caught my breath
by its beauty
The time to blood on
was near
The time for worry faded
I was ready

They say fear infests a passion
To fight for love
To live a life
To hold
Yet my hunger swept this smile away
And my thirst to drink you dry
Became me

My eyes felt so lonely
Was it the look that I never saw
Maybe the view hidden from my wall
Or just the looking down watching these feet
Drew my drawl

I wanted no one to see
The look in my window
Hidden
Shameful in my mind
The world felt heavy

So this is the way
No looks about
This chin stays low
And loneliness friends me  
No harm

The blue blue sky failed me as my
gloom expanded the day
Through fields of colours
Red,green and yellow
My outlook still saw no
End

An end that needed me to live
Wanted me to love
Wished I'd turned the page
Read a different book

They say the fool of regret is a
life on the edge
My fall is long
This pain reflected in crimson eyes
That pierced only the souls of the
Broken few  

Rain I pray please show my mood
I need the noise to hide my solitude
Yet only the colour of the suns burns
this side
In my heart of hearts the hurt beats
Raw as I wallow in my own subtle
Sadness
Let me breath
Let me live
Live my life

Is my time near
In this ache I feel
My grey turned coat
All lined and creased
An age forgotten
Long time before
A past now gone
I walk the door

Is hair gone thin
A sign I'm past
All creaking bones
Brittle bashed
Teeth of gold
In eaten much
Welter weight
I'd love to run

Is clothes of shade
All brown and tan
My only chance
To join the clan
A stick to bash
Some purple rinse
I know I'm old
Let moan commence

I cry for an itch from your breath
Did my sigh inside give way
From the look into those chocolate eyes
I knew it was time

Once so long ago my mind used to
Sing
My heart used to beat to your
Look
For I am broken

My wings do not work
My view has gone stale
This world around be
Broken
I knew it was time

Do not turn when I shout
Nor run when I scream
For life has moved on
Now
I've lived in your dream

My feathers are ruffled
My love has gone south
For all of my loving
My whisper ..your mouth
My love
