Your smile floated on a wave
Sparkling and shimmering
As if it had absorbed the sun.
It made me smile too,
Watching you shine
But, then I stopped as you
Floated further until I could
No longer see you
But still, I reached out, arms stretching
Turning, twisting away
As what reason now did I have to smile
Trying, fighting, losing
Until I dropped like a stone and sank
Into the mud
As your shine cast its beams
Elsewhere.

I sat in the centre of the earth
Without a care in the world
I sat alone on the grass so green
With the sky so blue
But, in the distance, thunder rolled
The grass browned
the sky darkened
And then I saw it
A small, white daisy
So delicate, so full of hope
But then
The fool I am, and the fool I will stay
Picked it
Broke the bond
Destroyed the hope
And as the daisy slowly wilted
I looked around, opened my eyes
With the gate of hell upon my back
And saw a new daisy begin to grow
As for every hell there is a heaven
For every lock there is a key
And as my soul drifted away
I thought and dreamt of hope
Of innocence
And the daisy

I once knew a man
Who believed he could
Conquer the world
He burned brightly.
And then came
The end of a long day
And the man lay down
To bed
And thus remained
Conquering nothing.

A last breath exhales slowly
Dancing away on a lost promise
Over forests of almosts
And oceans of tears, lost
Until, it slows, and floats
Remaining next to the one
It once called home
And remains in its eternal slumber
Resting gently and peacefully
Until the other, too, takes its
Last exhale
And the two are United
Somewhere.

A soul burns brightly,
In a dark room of blind eyes,
Shining solitary and alone.
And, when the flame
Wavers,
Falters, and nearly dies,
Somewhere, in the depths,
A soul flickers back.

Who made this existence, not you nor I
But the day the swallows began to fill the sky
We remembered the things we shouldn't have done
The revolution of our minds had begun
There were smoke clouds and bombs,  our tears ran like rain
None of us willing to go there again
Our intentions were clear, our desires not met
They tried to fight back, longed for us to forget
Our minds turned to hatred, our souls turned to why
Who made this existence, not you nor I
We are searching for the answer we will never receive
We do not cry for our lost ones, we will not grieve
The day dead bodies littered the ground
They all lay silenced, not making a sound
We have no answer, we do not know why
Who made this existence, not you nor I
