Ribbons of rains
A translucent sheet
Papery streamers
Down the streets

Children dream
Of castles and moats
To sail their
white paper boats

Yesterday’s flowers
Colour the pathway
For every passerby
As they take a final bow
It’s raining here :)

Death stands at
The broken door
At despair
None to repair

Life stands still
Up the hill
Lonely the breeze
Plays at its will

To sway
And move along
The winds of change
At every bend

Stands the door
Repaired hinged
And life moves on
Clear, distilled

Aladdin Aures H
as the perfect shooting stars
my diamonds you can't see
I'm tearing myself apart
I don't know what would be
my perfect world'n paradis
under the one lonely tree

but it's shooting fire, that holds me to tee
skipping my whole dreams, and shows my hell's fee
it's burning fire, that's all can be
it's burning fire, why just can't you see
the whole fire that's burning inside of me
Holly fire(2), (why It Would Be Like This)

baby can you save me
from All of this
and hold your shades on me
so I leave my loneliness
I would accept your cuddle
if you don't kiss
I would that model
if you carry my mess

but it's shooting fire, that holds me to tee
skipping my whole dreams, and shows my hell's fee
it's burning fire, that's all can be
it's burning fire, why just can't you see
the whole fire that's burning inside of me
Holly fire(2), (why It Would Be Like This)

my demons went inside
and left me holding tears
they went to the wild
to find their own grace
jailing an integrity of a kid
they left world in dark taste
but it's shooting fire, that holds me to tee
skipping my whole dreams, and shows my hell's fee
it's burning fire, that's all can be
it's burning fire, why just can't you see
the whole fire that's burning inside of me
Holly fire(2), (why It Would Be Like This)

I hold my fear and the war meant to be
I wonder when it's over to go free
I use myself to help the enemy
then I went higher to take the whole hits
I'm dying nearby, why can't you see
bring me back to life, if you wash my tears

but it's shooting fire, that holds me to tee
skipping my whole dreams, and shows my hell's fee
it's burning fire, that's all can be
it's burning fire, why just can't you see
the whole fire that's burning inside of me
Holly fire, (2)
burns inside of me
whole fire
takes away my dreams
Holly fire(2),
Save Me From All Of This

Lily
I am on Mackinac Island,
Lying down on a big white lawn chair
In front of the Grand Hotel.  
The faint scent of fudge
Lingers on the air so I can almost taste it,
And my hair is getting constantly blown
By the wind that flows among the
Chairs, grass, and music.  
The music comes from the direction of the water,
Where an old style jazz band has
Temporarily set up shop,
Creating gorgeous silhouettes
Against the orange and pink sunset sky.  
The purring of the clarinet
Bounces off of me like the waves are
Bouncing on shore,
But even lighter than that,
Even lighter than the
Wings of the seagull trailing overhead.  
The clarinet drops in and out of sync
With the waves as the silhouettes start to
Bounce to the music.  
A distant bike bell dings,
But it matches so harmoniously
With the music that I don't notice it.  
Waves, bike, clarinet.  
Waves, bike, clarinet.  
A constant cycle interrupted only by
The saxophone and drums occasionally.  
Waves, bike, clarinet.  
The sun is set.  
Silhouettes turn to shadows.  
Waves, bike, clarinet.  
Waves, bike.  
Waves.
I hope you are all staying safe and healthy!  I can't wait for the time when we can go enjoy live music again.  Thank you for reading!

like water
I poured myself into her until she was overflowing at the brim

like reinforced steel
I bridged my heart to hers and welded myself to her soul

like the sun
I filled myself with light to cover her darkness

like a blanket
I shielded her from the harsh world underneath the covers

like magnets
I orbited her aura until we inevitably collided

like a seed
I felt myself growing up from her

Then, like an idiot
I could tell she felt nothing.
