Nemo May 2013
I remember fondly the night that I saw her
and she didn't see me.
She never saw me.
But she felt me.
I know it.
I whispered love songs in her ear
and sent silver shivers down her spine.
She felt me.
I closed my eyes and we danced
while she danced with someone else.
And as she smiled at this other man
Her eyes flickered
Because she met mine
And she fell in love.
I was in love too.
A man only needs his soul to fall in love.
A soul was all I was.
And she felt me.

Life drifts by slower on a chilling autumn's breeze.
A willows crying, trees are dying, the sky is set like stone.
There's a haunting whisper in the air, a muffled breathing everywhere,
Clouds begin to hum their simple songs.
Leaves are falling like a joyful marionette, the wind its frightful puppeteer.
Crimson tree tops silhouetted along the coast of Earth's shore, dancing calmly, effortlessly.
The horizon, juggling fabulous flames, a mere jester to the world's unending marvel.
The frigid air, silky on my skin, whispers secret wonders of the world, laughing like a child.
The leaves when they fall, they float more beautifully on the path less traveled by, and land more softly.
And life drifts by slower on a chilling autumn's breeze.

Come one, come all,
To the strong mans downfall.
Cut the strings on the marionette,
Believe me, you won't soon forget
The haunting sound of the carousel
Or the staggering heights of the citadel.
A red balloon dancing perfectly in the pale gray sky.
A small child lets out a remorseful cry.
The clowns with their agonizing smiles,
Grab hold of your soul and change its style.
You've waited along time for this.
This frightening bliss of a midnight kiss,
And the familiarity of the moonlights whisper.
You've lost control of your juggling act
Prepare yourself for impact.
Watch out for where the sidewalk cracks,
Because everyone knows how that will end.
Come one, come all,
I've done it all
for you.

— The End —
