Sword

So,
draw
your
shining sword
and
let
me
show
you
the
pain
I
feel.

Today:

Would that it would end
And leave me in silence here,
Tranquil and alone.

Desert

Tread not on empty ground,
For the skies may stretch across
And the grass may abound upon the earth,
But you'll not thrive in the desert lost.

Bliss

Go and dance along;
Your day will come soon, darling,
Where you'll have regret:
Savor the blissful days now,
And don't waste your innocence.

Songs

There are too few words
Adequate or meaningful
To describe you right.
But a hundred, thousand songs
Describe you just perfectly.

My eyes freeze and glass
The nerves in my nose tingle
And my throat closes;
Tears well up inside, bound up
And determined to remain.

When a song is so beautiful, and you're trying not to cry.

Forgetting

Forgetting your face
Is easy; forgetting your name
Is simple; but you,
And what you turned me into,
Will not leave my memory.
