What do you want me
To see ?
Your future ?
Dearie , there's a fee .

Find me the eye
Of the Golden Boy
Bring me the cloak
Of a Giant's toy .

Once you're done
Drop it in the box
Next cut off some
Of your golden locks

Call me then
Find the key
Maybe then I'll
Show you your future , dearie* .

Follow the rabbit
Into the hole
Listen to the cat
To find your soul

Shrieking Ravens
Roam into the arms
Of a distant apocalypse
Fluttering mindlessly,
The cries of a decaying
Earth continue to destroy
Sound barriers all around .
Although trees bow low
and their leaves hang limp
From useless stems
Alone stands acres of
The tallest trees that will
Never touch the toxic forest floor
For these woods have never
Been touched by humans .
Many have tried but have only
Been cut down by the
Last monster that goes by the
Name of The Drakon
Even the empire's strongest men
Couldn't stand a chance .
It screeches , the voice echoes
Throughout the galaxies , "  You'll come as heroes and die as fools ! "
Eternity after eternity , The Drakon
Waits and waits until the end of Heaven and Hell*.

Alchemy

Bronze into gold
Gold into Bronze
Diamond candies
Glittering among
The few tongues
Of an alchemist's correction
Perfecting the truth
Exaggerated by vagabonds.
Forgetting the lies told by
Common folk
For they will
Never be able
To taste that
Diamond candy
You all shun and disgrace
you were fleeting
gone
in an instant
but you left scars
on my heart
and in my head
and I don't think
they'll ever fade
it was like
in the love that we had
I was the cracked earth
and you were the gorgeous drought
and we just couldn't find the rain
although, my darling,
silence isn't really silence, is it?
silence is the sound of your breath
as it raises the hairs on my neck.
it's the heartbeat that keeps the time
to the soundtrack of this summer.
it's the soft ticking of the clock
as the hours drain away.
but, my dear,
there's no silence I'd rather spend
than with you.

I'll see you soon. This hurts.
look at the stars.
look how they shine for you.
look at how they match the freckles on your cheeks.
look at how the clouds are as grey as your eyes.
look at the black velvet sky.
look at the forests that are as old as time.

just stop.
the world won't stop for you.

wait a moment.

look.
