i sat to write a poem
tapped on the key
words turned lame
thoughts mystery

blank blinked the screen
mocked its cleanliness
while the head's din
made mind a mess

i thought of the girl
who gave my eye a cut
the one with a curl
stole my childhood heart

and the ******* her door
i met on way to school
she has grown no more
still gives my heart a pull

the one who ran me down
called me foolish child
the cutest in town
in her love i was wild

one upon one
floated up the face
my poem was undone
unborn undressed

Only when dormant brain cells copulate
Is a true artiste born
For the progeny of dormant brain cells
Were born to be great
The inspiration for I Oh and Thee
Can only be possible
If dormant brain cells meet

Lullaby baby sweet dreams
"To keep"
Lullaby baby rest your
"Head upon me"
Lullaby baby eyes closed
"Of to sleep"
Lullaby baby count down
From Ten
"Nine"
"Eight"
"Seven"
"Six"
Lullaby baby hair stroked
"Till deep in sleep"
"Five"
"Four"
"Three"
Lullaby baby I'll always
"Sing this till you sleep"
"Two"
"One"
Lullaby baby in dreams
"Now lost to dreaming sleep"
Lullaby baby forever I'll sing
So listen to silence after my song
Till that time when eyes greet morning once more.

A white knight, shining in golden armor.
The apple in your eyes.
A step to close.
Asking for far too much.

I asked myself, did I lose a part of myself?
Only receiving an answer full of poisonous snakes.
It makes me ill, thinking of your face.
Won't you take me out of my cage?

Was I a knight, shining in golden armor,
or was I just a step too close?
Did I ask for too much?
My soul for redemption.
Tarnished from your touch.

I'll tell you any thing;
a mouse standing tall in front of a snake.
My armor shining golden.
I'll tell you anything;
about how rare it's actually seeing your face.
The vague reflections of what we had.
--and I know you'll **** me in the end.

But I want to know...
   I want to know...

Am I anything at all?
