The binding knot of Jupiter
sent stars reeling past the sea,
and the gilded Autumn sunrise
was felt by me, surprisingly.

Though I wonder oft of paradise
the warmth does scare me too,
I'm not used to ruby embers;
Evolved to cobalt blues.

Amplifiers broadcast the last
cries of the desert sands.
I love the things you'll surely miss,
just please free me from this land.
The Big Bang was just an
unplanned pregnancy;
God should have
worn a
******.
To win a king you must first accept the coal;
With your pressure and love be witness
to the diamond star you’ll unfold.
Tip-toed up to your bedside and sank
between the sheets in serene embrace,
I could lay you with you forever
but I just haven’t got the time.

The reflections of your topaz glare
makes me wish I could direct your stare.
I’d build us a fire but I’m too afraid
that I’ll just burn us both.

We’re staggered in step
but I surely try my best
To keep pace and wear
this leather leash with pride.
My mind is stuck somewhere in solemn haze
                            between the hands of reason,
and though I'd like to climb the mountain,
I'd rather hang on high.

I'll kiss the dying dove and send her
                             swimming through abyss.
It wasn't me I thought worth saving;
'twas you I'd surely miss.
Mood-stabilized eyes began to speak,
and I screamed up to that moon,
         "what's this you've done to me?"
I loved you on the day that you born,
and I'll love you till I'm clawing at the
woodwork and the worms.

Once upon a time, thoughts arrived like butterflies,
but I'm still alive; what they want her to be is weak,
and all I taught her was everything,
as the dead lay in pools of maroon below.

Waves roll in my thoughts, and the cross I'm bearing home ain't indicative of my place , so I will walk with my hands bound on the edge of a Christmas Clean love.

But I will hold the pain!
Pearl Jam became my favorite band in the 8th grade but I wrote this in my sophomore year of high school.  Nothing too spectacular, I just took lines from every song off PJ's first album and constructed it into some prose.  None of these lines are of my own imagination, just their arrangement is.
