The poets are dead.

We killed them
Trading truthful words
For false security.

Where do we start but in the womb
where do we end up but in a tomb

We take a breathe, we see the light
We take no more, we feel the blight

Days do start living a dream
Days do end, never ending scream.

I've started saving up,
started saving so one day I can come be with you.
Saving up some money,
saving up some time.

One day i'll have saved a fortune
and a big chunk of my time
and i'll spend all that fortune on you
and i'll spend that chunk of time with you.

And i'll go broke,
but i'll be smiling
i'll be smiling cause of you.

all dances, dance
on a grave

we can only
take each other in
if we can turn ourselves inside out

and we can only
turn ourselves inside out
if we can take each other in

If i told you, would it change anything
Would you see me differently?
Would you still be my best friend
Would you be mine until the end?
Would you even care?
If i said you broke my heart....
How would you reply?
What about if you saw me cry?
You ripped out my heart
You didn't even realize it
i can only blame myself for it...
For thinking we could be more than friends...

Love makes you
Love elliminates hate
Love builds acceptance
Love creates understanding
Love increases one's will to live
Love makes the world go round
Love brings the good out in people
Love inspires you to do the best you can
Love encourages you to achieve all you want
Love holds you up when others may pull you down
Love buys you all the things you want from our universe

Never forget the power of what sharing love may do for another.
It may just change someone's life.

the cicadas are singing
and the cats stare in quiet contemplation

a cool breeze passes through our window
and my heart perks at the sound of  your foot steps

love is knowing your steps
and greeting the rhythm of your breath
with wonder and gratitude
