I've watched lightning strike twice!
...but obviously in different places...

I hear the rain
wash my ears
a fresh awakening

I stayed to show you the stars
But as it turns out, you fell asleep
I shouted and I screamed
But my cries wouldn't wake your breath
Oh, I curse your being,
For it makes me all the more human.
So I split the earthly seams
To lay you beneath her sheets
But your hands, they wouldn't let me go
And my heart was tucked in with yours
Oh, I miss your being,
For it makes me all the more human.
How the flower's songs glide
gently upon the breeze!
And your hues grow vibrantly
throughout all my days!
Oh, I love your being,
For it makes me all the more human.

Simply smiling
Lenses glazed
Words are running
Drums to the brim
                    Do I hear it?
Sons and daughters
Parties, flowers
This or that
Something, something, yada...
                    Maybe not.
Feet untethered
Yoke unbound
Sailing starward
Glimpsing upon fey
                    I don't care to hear it.

What goes on behind these curtains?
     glitzy rags
     golden beams
     mass excess

An elegant array of humanoid copies,
     simple smiles
     knotted shoes
     plastered hair

Supporting cordial conversations.
     hollow words
     posturing
     righteousness

My what chained dogs they are!
     Your masters
     the upper
     echelon

Pity the prisoners of preconceived morality.
     what a shame
     empty minds
     perfect squares

You have softer hands than I,
An amusing touch.
And your voice reverberates in
my head like a bell.
I wait for every word,
already knowing whats to come.
You ghosts upon my shoulders,
I've never broken our grasp.
