What it means to be human
Is something that I know all to well
Even now
Sitting here
I can feel my heart
my heart beating
my heart keeping me together
tearing me apart
I've heard that the heart
Is a gateway for emotions
Do not ask me if this is true
For I do not know
But if by chance it is
Can someone
anyone
ANYTHING
Tell me how to make it stop
because all of the beating
and fluttering
and skipping
Is making me go insane

On the path
to the promised land
three kings lay slain

Robbed of their gold
and stripped of their splendour
they lay
in a pool of blood in the rain
  
The shooting star
they followed
was a blazing red
Souls lost in passion
fuming in its bed
(their flares now lead
soul-searchers to hell)

A caravan
that passed by
camped by the dead
They built 3 shrines
and hung 3 bells
Pilgrims were fed
and scriptures were read

The incense
they carried
was traded for gold
and 3 sets of attire
of the noble fold

The remains
of these kings
now sit crowned
in these shrines,
wrapped in robes
of shining silk

Scepters in their arms
they listen and behold
their stories being told
and fables unfold

I’ve lived, I’ve learned,
I’ve shifted through patterns.
I took a bad turn and acted like nothing mattered
but I found myself in the mix of the matter
and found I’m not limited by my lines of Saturn.

My eyes are stale
And my heart is black.
I didn't realize I was going blind
Until you stabbed me in the back.
Trust, has gone away, and that's all there is to it.

Solaces
Its quite the beautiful night.  Not a cloud in the sky nor a jealous moon to ruin it all.  Just me and the stars.  I hear some instrumental intimacy.  A look at you from below.  Above and beyond past the end of thoughts.  You simply look back and smile with your resonating light.  You fire my wonder, and you play your cosmic song to me.  Because I am also a star in your sky.
Look across the heavens
