I'm dealing with heartbreak
In the same old familiar way
By breaking everything around me
And blaming it on you

By breaking myself
Because I feel I deserve the pain

I rode a white steed
Across the netherworlds only to reach
I rode a white steed
A knight in shining metallic armor

I fought wars for the queen
I stormed the castle walls and razed them to the ground
I fought wars for her honor
Hers is a cause that I call noble

I rode a white steed
I fought wars for the queen
I was a knight in shining armor
I fought wars for her honor

And as I'm dying
Bleeding out slowly
On a raging battlefield
Cut down by mighty king Arthur

My blood on Excalibur's blade

I die in peace
Knowing my last thoughts will be
I rode a white steed
I fought wars for the queen

I know a girl I've never met
I've known her all my life
We share the same thoughts
The same hopes
The same dreams
We share our biggest fears
I know a girl I've never met
I've known her in past lives
We are lovers reincarnated
We share the same heart
In different times
Different places
The same dreams

I know a girl I've never met before
And I can feel her sorrow
And it makes me lament
Such beautiful lachrymose eyes
The same eyes
I would do anything
To see smiling
Once in my life
I know a girl I've never met before
And I can feel her joy
From the otherside of the world
I can sense her hope
The same hope I have
To find love
Someone who understands
The same dreams

Canyons now between us
May I step forward
The appearance of advancing
But still full of apprehension

And all occasion for repentance disappears
No concern with success or failure
Just to advanced is fortunate
In every way advantageous

Advancing with horns
Only punishing the rebels of my own city
A position perilous
But there will be good fortune

Its progress
Of holding together
Its the advance
Of unity
Its the forward movement
Of alliance
Its prospering
Its love

I know how to win her heart

You come to me with a smile
A Trojan horse
You don't want to hurt me
But you know you will

And as much as my city walls
Are impenetrable
I let you in
And that was my biggest mistake

I bleed
I leave bloodstains on everything
And when you love me
And then learn to hate me
Because then stains you can't remove
Become a memory
Of the times when you were wrong
When you knew what was right
And the demons on your shoulder
Spoke much louder than me
Because angels do not fight
They only show you light
In the hope that you will follow

And you can think
I wasn't strong enough
All my weakness
Was only meant to show
That the choice is really yours
And if I should lose
And watch you fall to darkness
I'll be a god
Who is forsaken once again

I bleed
And no matter intervention
Of the most divine source
I can only hope you believe

In the royal blood

I bleed

I don't know how to love
Except the way I love
When a child is with his mother
A wide-eyed witness
To the gravity of the moon
And the rising tides of the sea

And spring now is coming
We can stop the birds from singing
Poison all the seeds
And keep the flowers from blooming
But nothing is going to keep
The seasons from changing

I don't know how to love
Except the way that I love
When the embers of the fire smoulder
And the lover becomes a fool
Still reaching for something
That causes him pain

I miss her eyes
Which I could use a million words
And never describe
I miss her voice
Like every single word is a note
In my favorite song
I miss her hands
Delicate and lithe and reaching
And holding strong
I miss her hair
Golden woven strands of silk
Sweet like honey milk
I miss her coldness
Like I could hold her in my arms
And feel her melt
I miss her warmth
Like her heart pumps a boiling blood
Fueled by passion
I miss her body
More to explore than outer space
A place I made my home

I miss her everything

I miss her highs
I miss her lows
I miss her car
And the way she drove
I miss her shoes
And the way she walks
I miss her dreams
I miss our goals


But most of all
I miss her laugh
Almost like since she left
Nothing is funny

You'll grow in so many ways
The love in your heart,
The dreams in your head,
You'll grow and you'll grow

But I promise
As long as you know me
You'll never grow lonely

I'm worried about my heart
From the pre-cambrian period
To the advent of modern medicine
My heart beat with feeling in the mesoderm

Put your fire
With my fire
And we'll burn brighter
Burn brighter

And I feel my heart is weak
Maybe it stops when the beat drops
And I'll be dead on a stage
While the band still plays
Written quickly

She sleeps in my red light
While I sleep alone
With someone
I know about empty wells
Alone I'm in a group
Alone I'm in a crowd
Singing all my songs
I'm a forsaken shepherd

So can I kiss you on the forehead
And lay these demons to rest
While the most important things
Make me smile
An incomplete poem that feels complete. If you know what I mean

What do I have to say?
That the wind doesn't say as it pushes the waves
I've seen you
As one sees the lights reflect on the water
     And when the waves wash upon the shore
     This is the feeling between us
How can I love?
In any way I can so that you can feel it
I've felt you
Like you wanted me too
     Like the sands on the beach
     That we lay on together
Quickly written. I feel like I have a lot to say right now so I'm rolling with it

We look to the west together
To the wide open skies of blue forever
We sigh as one
With the moon rising at the speed of a breath
And the night is full when the moon is new
We sigh as one
In unison
In the throes of barefooted passion
Where there is no painted dream I'd rather be
We smile a sun
A forest carpet of flowers and scent
The rhythm of a drum and a heartbeat
You are here with me
Mucho metáforo
