Hush.
If you are listening, close your eyes.
Don't think too hard.
Now--
Imagine,
Think of,
Hold in your mind,
the following sensations:

First,
a soft humming.
Imagine this soft humming.
Imagine the voice.
Imagine the tone.
Imagine a drone,
Imagine a melody,
a pleasant hum.

Next,
a soft humming.
Think of this soft humming.
Think of the lips.
Think of the purse.
Think of a source,
Think of a vibration,
a pleasant hum.

Last,
a soft humming.
Hold in your mind, this soft humming.
Hold in your mind, the texture.
Hold in your mind, the ambience.
Hold in your mind, a feeling of being swaddled,
Hold in your mind, a feeling of expansiveness,
a pleasant hum.

Hush.
If you are listening, open your eyes.
Don't think too hard.




-LP

Gaze silently towards the heavens
O’ beams of shimmering gold
Beckon to you
With brilliant light of the full moon bright
Fond memories you come to hold

Taste the sweet fruit of passion
Shining o’er your perfect face
Sending you
Dreams of me to always be
The outline of your heart to trace

Walk along the lighted path
Amongst the sprawling sycamore
Touching you
Reaching far of every southern star
To send a love of true adore

Breathe the air of midnight moon
Scents of windswept atmosphere
Caressing you
With aromatic symphonies upon the breeze
Calming of your every fear

Feel my affection upon these evening skies
Tempting as this nighttime glow
Finding you
Thy beauty blooms within this fullest moon
As ever I shall love you so

I think that being lonely
is one of the worst things
a human can experience
because it feels so final
than everything you've ever felt
before

so lonely are my nights
lonely are my few short days
lonely as I stand
lonely are them clouds

so lonely that the tears fall
lonely in my dark silence
lonely as the cold steel acts
lonely are my cuts and scars

so lonely in this life
lonely in a crevices of darkness
lonely are my cries of pain
lonely is this cold pit  

lonely oh so lonely
that I beg the homely kiss of death to strike
