Come here and listen to me
There are ugly deep shadows
Where things could be leering
Snarling and hungry
Heavy and threatening
****** in the wriggling damp
The age dripping damp
Where dead leaves rot and fatten the earth
Come close and listen to me

Don't go down there
No, don't go down there
They're doing strange things in the dark
You shouldn't have come to the park
On your own
Don't go walking alone

This is no place for one so young
And soft
Delicately tremblingly white
And soft
Run home with your soul gripped tight
Before someone
Some muddied gritty  someone
Touches
In the shadows and shrubs
And the night

When my rage finally settles
I go searching for somewhere quiet
To calm the madness of my chaotic world
Delusion is such a well-balanced diet

When I dream I dream in color
Dark rainbows fill my velvet sky
When I laugh my tears are crimson
Touched by pain I hold inside

My pagan heart shields deception
From a judgmental godly mind
The craft spins upon the alter
Blessed like water turned to wine

No false hope to claim the throne
In a world that I must own
Just a magic spell to soothe my hell
Oh, how long must I stay ******?

0 equals "without limit"

0 equals "limitless light"

All that exists within limitless light is

Cognitive surge
Synaptic flash
Thought conversion
Physical reflex
Bypass mind
Engage fingertips
Prepare to converse
Cyber circuits delay...

Standby
Interruption
"Yeah  
Okay
Yep!
Later"

Now
What­ was that thought again...

There are undoubtedly star crossed lovers
And sometimes, universes collide

I
Have decided
to build my own house
i know it will take a lot of planning
first the material then the budget and the timing
I can picture it in my mind
I'll have big parties so wild
that when i do have a child
I'll be a legend in his eyes
The legendary self reliant
old man who build a house
strictly for partying nothing else
we'll be partying from dusk till dawn night til morning.

Wherever you look she is there, waiting;
beautiful and cold as she is,
for someone to entertain her.

When the sleepy skies yawn away and
his golden locks take the podium,
he can’t help but notice only her.

He invites to dance, so she lifts her skirts high
and puts her transparent hand in his and
together they dance their crystal waltz.

He might entertain her only for a while,
because she will soon perish from something
magically beautiful to just another puddle.*

But despite knowing this, she does not mind at all.
