: Who did you say you were again?
: I told you once, we must embark
      Now test your legs and jump my friend.
: But it's so deep, and it's so dark
      Are you so sure that this is right?
: Remember when she laughed at you
      I know you see her face at night
      For all those bows and hearts you drew
      What was it worth when it was done?
: It's true, that ghost torments my eyes
      I know I've lost but who has won?
      Have I not time to say goodbyes?
: Just say hello when you are there
      It's not so hard, just take that leap
      And fall with purpose, not with care,
      You won't regret when your asleep.
:Are you so sure?
:                           Already said!
      Can't you see I wouldn't lie
      Can't you get that through your head
      I know you know you want to fly.
: And why should I believe in you?
: Because my friend, we share a name.
: I don't believe this can be true!
: Believe it, friend, we are the same.
: Then all you say, I say myself.
: And now that you have realized
       It's time to put life on the shelf.
: Oh, why am I so mesmerized
      Your voice is like a crystal bell;
      Your hand is like an angels wings
      And yet, I know it's sent from hell
      Oh why, oh why, this siren sings?
: It sounds so good and feels so right
       And you and I, we both know why
       It smells like daisies in the light
       It tastes like homemade cherry pie.
       The daggered rocks await your fate.
: Those welcome terra-cotta homes
       But don't they wait to mutilate?
: But sing you songs and write you poems!
       If I could take the words I spew
       And make a flashing neon sign
       Perhaps you'd see my words are true
       And realize that it is time.
: Please, don't do it!
:                              I CAN'T do it!
: I won't do it!
:                       We've been through it!
: Should I do it...?
:                           See? You knew it!
: Can I do it?
:                   Always knew it.
      Now nothing more is left unsaid
      Our souls await that warm caress
      It's time that you and me were dead.
      This life is always so much less
: To live would be my only crime
       Oh god, I feel that awful lump!
: Now lose your soul, 'cause it is time
       Just jump, just JUMP, just JUMP, just JUMP!

The dust of denial does finally settle,  
the sound of my heartbeat is metal on metal.
The river of sorrow runs dreadfully dry
the beat of my drum is a withered old sigh.

You breathe life to my body and love to my mind,
if god is in heaven this must be a sign.  
The more I take out, the more I will crumble
grab me when I fall, catch me when I stumble.

You smell just like roses, you ***** like one too,
when I look out the window all I see is you.
It’s real like the sun and it burns just as hot,
to hurt or to leave you, well, that I could not.

Love in the winter, spring, summer and fall,
your body and mind of you I want all.
There’s fish in the sea but I’m hook, line and sinker,
you get even cuter when your cheeks turn pinker.  

My body’s a letter the postage is love,
Dear Bette, I love you, won’t you be my dove.
P.S. you’re so pretty and wonderful too.
P.P.S. please know what I am saying is true.

In rain I’m your cover, in snow I’m your gloves,
if you’re cold then I want to warm you up with love.                                                            ­                                                              
I’­m here to protect you through the lonely night
‘cause you give me white wings so I can take flight.

You are so special you don’t understand,
I just want to stay here and hold on your hand.                                                            ­                                                                 ­                   
I’m down in the shafts, for love I’m a miner,
forever I’m stuck, 'cause it only gets finer.

I am here and I am strong,
my heart beats louder than a gong.                                                            ­                                                                 ­               
I want to hold you in my arms
and keep you from all the harm.

Bette, oh Bette I hope you can see,
your eyes and your body do hypnotise me.                                                              ­                                                                 ­           
You leave me so speechless, I can’t catch a breath,
when I am in your arms, I don’t fear death.

You make me so happy, it’s quite plain to see,
your lips are my drug they intoxicate me.                                                              ­                                                                 ­     
My life is a canvass for you to create,
how many ways can I tell you, you’re great.

You are my Bette for the world to see
you’re my hearts protector to watch over me.
My beautiful kitten if you purr for me,
I’ll give you my heart since you have the key.

Your name is Bette and now I can see
that life starts and ends with you and with me.                                                              ­                                                        
I want you forever, know I am here to stay,
if ever I lost you, I would lose my way.

I love you, I love you, I love you, I do
did I say that I love? Well you know it's true.                                                            ­                                                                 ­       
Worries and doubts of those I have none,
you are my moon, my stars and my sun.

The shivering eyeglasses lazily coating the ground
Break way to the budding of the season.
To reincarnate is to live the anomaly,
The evergreen boughs bend in the wind.

Coalescing crystals form dew on our morn
To leave a fresh taste, on lips, on tongue.
The time is imminent, but the dawn is young,
My white Orchid, born to the sun.

Simply, optically, it's to weak to touch
Unworthy digits, to blind to see.
My scarlet levees, to right to feel.
The ivory blossom, to right to be real.

Under the canopies, the shimmering outline
Moves closer until the mirror cracks
And our reflections are polymorphicly one,
Our hearts still polyamorously two.

I yearn to dream of lucid lavender,
The aroma surrounds the dream, still dreamed
The scent so real, or so it seemed
Encapsulating this moment in amber.

Until we sleep, until we fly
Together. Our wings open to embrace the quilted high.
Our mouths embrace to fill the void,
Unleash the magic, bathing us in light

Bricks and mortar overlap my thoughts
But time alone is not a wall.
Time alone, it cannot fall
And it still ticks with the beat of my pendulum.

Oh flower, oh life, vitality aplenty.
Your hideousness, a secret untold,
Withers to your beauty, yet to unmold.
Le voyage fantasme is here for me now.

And now the grains slip between my toes.
The sandcastles caress the glass of our hour.
It's never too late, but always on time,
So before the light fades, kiss me and say

"I'll sleep tonight,
I'll dream of you."
Orchid, my Orchid, love, my love
I'll dream with you forever.
