I skip my steps
when off to school,
In circles of lads
I hear only you.

at the dance hall
I could not breathe,
you with another
and softy I plead,

will you not notice
my hair so dressed
won't you allow me,
bright end to unrest

each sun, the rain,
each morn the lark

each day blind eyes,
each cry drops night

because of black hair
the crow will nae fly,
white shells your skin,
white bird of my eyes.

so far beyond banks,
my heart out to sea,
will you not notice,
my cry, dear laddie?

The silk was spun,
Finely woven
With threads of DNA and bonds of love.
Or so we thought -
These webs always intend survival.
To weather any storm come rain or shine,
To nurture the life that live upon it.
Intricately delicate, yet strong.
Or so we thought.
Not this one.
Not this time.
This web was a trap.
Pretty from a distance,
Even looked steady and secure for a while.
But you lost control of its construction,
And instead it was us that got tangled.
Our web became a lie,
Spun into a noose around your neck
and yours
and hers
and mine.
This was not silk
But ******* barbed wire,
And it slit all of our throats
and left us to die.

Please, take life slow, because we never know.

You shapeshift
in my dreams
and whichever
shape you take
fits perfectly
with mine.

You giveth a thirteen year old a gun oh uncle Sam?
Detached and ******,
Doth thine self feel not shamed?
You gave him bullets as buddies,
Letters for mummy,
As its obvious he won't respond!!!!

But the thirteen year old is odd among the other lads,

He lays down his weapon,
And helps his fellow enemy!!!!
Defying uncle Sam!!!

Now wouldn't the world be a better place,
If we all loved our enemies?

And the best part of this all is,
The soldiers saw what that little one had done,
Moved fiercely!!!!

They layed down their killing sticks as well,
And helped up thy fellow brother!!!

Take me in your arms
and wrap me in the
creamy, satin blanket
of your skin.

I will make you,
shudder, squirm
gasp and scream

and when our breath
is nearly spent,

we will kiss
intensely, devoutly
and dissolve
into one rainbow
streaked
puddle of love

where our feet
used to be.
