I hear footsteps
Of rain
Patter, ………., patter
Washing off
spatter, ………., spatter
Stupidity!

Love’s not defined by the pen
But pain
The distance between you and I
Is the distance
Between a fish and the ocean
And yet
So far away
A feverish tertian!

The tears falling off her eyes
fashion the wine in my tavern
I’ll burn down this tavern
To watch the stars in her eyes

Why did you leave? *
Why?
I am restless
Yet, I so want to hold you
In my arms
Why aren’t you there
To say how beautiful the moonlight's tonight?
Why aren’t you there
To see my heart,
In pieces?

Why did you leave?
Why?
I am restless
Yet, I so want to hold you
In my arms
I thought of you all my life
In hopes of being with you,
someday

Give me a different kind of wine tonight
The Kind from the chalice of truth
Intoxicate this broken heart, and
Make it oblivious of both worlds
Why did you leave?
Why?

Gardens differ
              One from another
                              One’s full of flowers
                                       **** with thorns, the other

Autumn walks in my garden once
again
brings the gift of chaos, disorder, some
rain
breeding anarchy, disarray, lots of
pain
I asked what she's trying to
gain
suffocating a flower, by cutting her
vein
said: “she did not die in
vain”
her life’s merely on the
wane
“I do this out of love”, said
swain
and love never dies, simple yet
plain
