Through trembling darkness
I fell

Am falling

In laughing breezes
I was

Now not

Everything I was before
Replaces
               what I

Had
i used to swallow pills as if it were like
catching moonshine between my lips.
but my dear, you seem to
forget
that you are now my moonshine
and if you leaveā€¦

and i am convinced that this collapsed bone structure
of mine
is a constellation because only stars
can twist so much inside and still
be audible.

i wonder if you are ever cold
while being a blanket
for me to want,
to cover this half-heart i wear
in my eyes.

but your arms stretch like the universe
and make me feel so irrelevant.
july 2010.
One Night.
While dreaming,
I met a boy.

Face of an angel.
Voice of one too!
Twas' just a dream though.

One Day.
While awake,
I met a boy.

Face of a demon.
Voice of one too!
It wasn't a dream though.

One Night.
While dreaming,
The demon boy appeared.

His demon face melted away.
His voice became angelic.
Was this real?

One Day.
While awake.
I met the demon boy, again.

I looked into his eyes.
The demon disappeared!
*He became My angel.
(Verse 1)
Write a letter
Pray the tides will change
Don't forget her
In lands so cold, so strange

Sing horizon
Show me where she left off
She is smiling
Waiting for me to come on home

(Bridge)

(Verse 2)
Keep me alive
Past the winter and summer days
Help me survive
So I'll meet a tender embrace

Never let go
Pray for the safest of returns
Within I know
I will find my way back home

(Chorus)
Summer day (Summer days)
Summer nights (Summer nights)
Some are simple way of holding you

Winter moons (Winter moons)
Winter lights (Winter lights)
Wandering on earth, but on my way back home

(Bridge)

(Verse 3)
Looking onward
Keeping him locked in my mind
Pressing forward
Never leaving him behind

No more sorrow
Make Decembers feel like June
Maybe not tomorrow
But I know he'll be home soon

(Bridge)

(Verse 4)
I am waiting
See the ocean toss and turn
Past the shading
Of my skin, my soul does burn

Never wonder
I give love to you alone
Never cast asunder
Is my love, he's coming home

(Chorus)
Summer day (Summer days)
Summer nights (Summer nights)
Some are simple way of holding you

Winter moons (Winter moons)
Winter lights (Winter lights)
Wandering on earth, but on my way

Summer day (Summer days)
Summer nights (Summer nights)
Some are simple way of holding you

Winter moons (Winter moons)
Winter lights (Winter lights)
Wandering on earth, but on my(your) way back home
Wandering on earth, but on the way back home
Dearest love, just know my love is safe at home

(End)
I don't plan on making it a normal thing, but I wrote this and had to share it. It's meant to be a duet with the male sing the first two verses and the first chorus with the female echoing, then the female singing the last two verses and the next chorus with the male echoing.
Remember when time came knocking,
And you asked politely that it wait?
When the leaves of trees that once fell swooping,
Soared high against their fate?
When the sounds of earth,
Of stone and clay,
That burned and churned so fierce and frozen,
Had taken solace in the deafening silence,
Between our words unspoken?
Remember when all I could see was land,
And for you it was the sky?
I do,
Like it was yesterday;
Was the moment we first locked eyes.
so quiet
are the
eyes that
breathe the
gray storm
