speak to me

in indo-european

make love to me

with the kama sutra

burn me

with the greek fire

break down my walls

with the trebuchet

pierce my soul

with the pistol

In the night, the demons flee
Turned on the light, are they sacrificing me?
A smile, a shiver, corpses thrown in the river
Was it misfortune or good intent?
The demons stay, they are reluctant

The stars are shining, fire is burning,
The demons arise and the tables are turning
A demonic force awakens the mind
Of a thing which came from another kind

The last steep, running on time,
They'll show up when it is over nine
When I awaken,
Is the universe forsaken?
The tables are turning and the chances are taken.

I know that you don't want
Anything long term
Or serious right now
And I am completely fine
With being the smoke that
Fills your lungs
Even if just for a moment
And then as you exhale
And let me go
I'll be fine as I watch you
Extinguish the remaining glow
From the short cigarette
Of our relationship.

Each day will be different,
And no feeling will ever last,
You’ll climb some mountains to the top,
And others you’ll fall down fast,
There will be days you can’t get up,
And nights where you can’t sleep,
This place called Life is where you’re at,
Where none of us asked to be,
There will be moments you fall in love,
And a broken heart will follow,
You’ll learn very quickly the meaning behind,
“We were not promised tomorrow,”
We all hate something about ourselves,
So we pick on others,
And we never stop to think about,
How one another suffers,
This place is hard to understand,
So make it up as you go,
And no one can tell you why you’re here,
Because no one really knows.

What if every person
Titled each poem
With the line it contained
That they found to be the most
Meaningful?
