Black pitched broken up The lights in our house Reflect in flicker against Mother's broken China cup's But I'm losing sight of the stars In a blackening sky Against a rising tide Where all that once was right Proves now only to be wrong I turn over the final page Of a burning novel that lays unafraid Here lusting over love and hate Nothing but lost souls Crowded tight inside faceless cafes Perhaps we are destined for such Seemingly unfortunate misgivings Where each every one of us Reaches a point that is past forgiving Or maybe we are so sick and tired Of hearing of all the world's sinning But let me continue... Tears only hold their meaning When dropped from love or The loss of It I accept the finitude of life I do not accept the finitude of life I live in a fighting stance Until my legs give out and My knees are unable to hold me Nature does not worry About these annoyances She created the paradox Stepped aside Leaving us with small talk Deeming one another divine I struggle I live I stumble And yet I live But I have seen it And there is the moment The space Between moments A breath without technique Without structure Organization, friendship, love, or parents Chest split open to the hungry Nature that greedily yearns For my blood and bones for Her dirt Disregarding my spirit and soul And leaving the most thought of Holiest of holy possessions on an Earth That gives as much as **** about us As we do - Thus, I face Into a homely wind To dream to drift eternally To be born To be human To be man To be alive What pain we go through to feed this life And The next

The Loss of It
Black pitched broken up The lights in our house Reflect in flicker against Mother's broken China cup's But I'm losing sight of the stars In a blackening sky Against a rising tide Where all that once was right Proves now only to be wrong I turn over the final page Of a burning novel that lays unafraid Here lusting over love and hate Nothing but lost souls Crowded tight inside faceless cafes Perhaps we are destined for such Seemingly unfortunate misgivings Where each every one of us Reaches a point that is past forgiving Or maybe we are so sick and tired Of hearing of all the world's sinning But let me continue... Tears only hold their meaning When dropped from love or The loss of It I accept the finitude of life I do not accept the finitude of life I live in a fighting stance Until my legs give out and My knees are unable to hold me Nature does not worry About these annoyances She created the paradox Stepped aside Leaving us with small talk Deeming one another divine I struggle I live I stumble And yet I live But I have seen it And there is the moment The space Between moments A breath without technique Without structure Organization, friendship, love, or parents Chest split open to the hungry Nature that greedily yearns For my blood and bones for Her dirt Disregarding my spirit and soul And leaving the most thought of Holiest of holy possessions on an Earth That gives as much as **** about us As we do - Thus, I face Into a homely wind To dream to drift eternally To be born To be human To be man To be alive What pain we go through to feed this life And The next
