Before I leave..
  And I let you go..
Know that I was going to stay..
  And look out the window with you when it all happens..

They say the sky will turn red and yellow..
   The air will make you fall into the best sleep possible..
The most beautiful dreams will come..
   And you will find heaven..

I am off to a place called Earth..
  Leaving our Mars behind..
To start all over..
  And wait till you are born again..
I will find you..  
I will see are then crimson planet from the Earth sky and always remember you..

PART TWO  When I arrive

Even the people most cruel and broken
Are still simply beautiful

I've been split open
Sewn up and made new
But even the finest surgeon
Couldn't get rid of you

I trace places you used to touch
Looking for echoes of your fingertips

I light candles where you used to stand
Trying to recreate the warmth you exuded

I wrap your sweaters around my body
Mimicking the sensation of your arms around me

I listen to the clinks of wine glasses
Pretending we're back on our first date

I stare at your lips in your pictures
Wishing I had kissed you longer

I thought losing you would get easier
But I miss you more every minute

I'm somewhere behind the moon
I've escaped the weight of the world
And there's no sunshine,
No light, no heat
But the thought of you
Keeps me so warm
And I'm content staying
Somewhere behind the moon

Tonight, deep in
residential woods

at the foothill of the
butte who towers
the city-

the needle touched
the record
and Tenderly,
Tenderly played

you spoke to me
in quiet,
in silence,
and my stillness
was the counter
that you needed so

I made a deal with
fondness-
to open the most secret
vaults of my vulnerability
and sell my soul to hope
and design

at Fox Hollow's
smokey dusk,
with you

I shook the hand of love.

i.

Overhead the offing
Mellifluous orb's reflecteth mine;
Betwixt the sunshine.

ii.

Lissome, her anatomy
Is grabbing me;
By her natural induced eyelining spy's.

iii.

Until the end, of mankind's time,
And beyond the hourglass;
Tick tocks's, the mountain's and rock's, forever we wilt last.

iv.

After this intermission of living
Explode's with the devil to fall;
We shalt embrace, eachother's warm face, and fuse to God's law.

A white shard
Erupts violently through tender pink flesh.
I see it gleaming in the darkness
As I hold your screaming body against me in the night.
The tears in my eyes match yours
As a feeling of helplessness devours me.

Oh, the agony of…



The first tooth!
