If you shave your beard,
be a'feared.
Out of the blue
I will leave you.

old shoes

fake-off
love spread
love's dead

Reality said hello today
And I- I did- I ran.
She pulled aside fantasy
And showed me all I am
I turned my back and once again
Did see reality.

The veil was drawn, the die was cast,
The ship set sail, et cetera
And I, alone, was just me at last.
Bewildered by my own ideals,
my own philosophy.
I closed my eyes perchance to sleep.
     (and perchance to dream)
Perchance reality
at bay to keep.

i think my fate is sure to be
a house of cats and their ***
a house covered in fur and *****
and absolutely nothing to lose
i'd work a job to the bone
and then come swiftly home
i'll never marry up
i'll just refill my ******* cup.

my mind is blank
for want of sleep
for distractions
handing me a check.
this is when i'm happiest best.
and i don't have time to miss you
i'm sorry but it's so
and i don't have time to
think of rhymes
to force upon the world.
i don't have time to leave my house
or get drunk or ****
complications end in an hour
when the patron leaves.
i don't have time to leave my house
(and loving kitten, sophocles)
i'm busy out and wanting sleep
and paying off my debt.
and this is when i am happiest best.

oh god please fly with me
and i watch you through my window
you're so far away and so grey
ominous cumulus
we're heading on paths set and of discord
and all i see is you ahead
follow i with to that star you race
to the star you embrace
as everlasting life in the temporal

It's not to hard to see how everything is
For every action is everything and
wind stays steadier than I.

And life is naught but memories
If we exist at all, while
rumors and scientists both will take the fall.

When time erases all you've done
(the universe expandeth)
you will not know a thing.

For you'll have gone, satisfied,
while bandits rob your grave,
wind forceful at their backs.

I invented the candle, I did,
and look what has been done,
necessity no more.

You are old in my eyes,
and I am old in many eyes
not yet conceived, not yet realized.

not yet conceived.

not yet realized.
