Once in a dream (for once I dreamed of you)
  We stood together in an open field;
  Above our heads two swift-winged pigeons wheeled,
Sporting at ease and courting full in view.
When loftier still a broadening darkness flew,
  Down-swooping, and a ravenous hawk revealed;
  Too weak to fight, too fond to fly, they yield;
So farewell life and love and pleasures new.
Then, as their plumes fell fluttering to the ground,
  Their snow-white plumage flecked with crimson drops,
    I wept, and thought I turned towards you to weep:
  But you were gone; while rustling hedgerow tops
Bent in a wind which bore to me a sound
    Of far-off piteous bleat of lambs and sheep.

you dream of wings
and cruel deposed kings.

your eyes have left
having witnessed so much theft.

you may waste away
and so i beg you to stay

but you are lost
within a castle's frost

your thoughts have turned bitter
and your dreams now flitter

the light returns
but the coldness burns

and i ask you
to live
for me.
fly I was not that good. sorry.

I LOVED SO MANY PEOPLE IN SO MANY WAYS
THAT THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT FOR MYSELF

i want to tell you that you cause butterflies in my
stomach, and take my breath away when you
look at me.

i want to play with your hair, and listen to your
2am thoughts.

i want to roll my eyes at your sarcasm, and giggle
at your jokes.

i want to kiss you, until my lips are numb.

i want to lie and watch the stars above us, and talk about the universe.

i want to love everything you have grown to hate
about yourself.

but mostly, i just want *you
