The Tinkerer Aug 2015
The canary, in her cage,
Tomorrow she leaves, flying far away.

The canary, she's scared.
She's sad, and she wants back in again
Homesickness. A terrible thing. Especially if it's unexpected.
My heart goes to you, Canary.
The Tinkerer Aug 2015
The gray days pass
On and on, one after the other.
If you're looking for color.
You're in the wrong place
There is none here.
We're all just sitting here. Waiting.
We're just here,
The destitute, forsaken scoundrels.
We're here waiting.
Waiting for something *Auroral
I needed to try my hand on something new.
Needed express something.
The Tinkerer Aug 2015
She* came in like a storm.
She broke the norm, She didn't conform.
She made the dying world,
More alive than ever, it was.
And then, as swiftly as She came,
She was gone.
She Came. She Loved. She Conquered. She's Gone.

Do what feels right

there in
a cobweb corner sits
an old grand piano

not used to play
any note in four years
and probably out of tune

her strings loosening and covered
in silk, no hammer has touched
or fallen away as quick

all the soundboard does is warp
under a stress of thirty tons and four years
alone

Shoulder to shoulder
These young men,
Boys,
Stood for the rights of all,
Thumbing their noses
At the iron fist that crushed
Their people's heart,
Giving voice
To those rendered mute
And heart
To those without hope.
Shoulder to shoulder
These young men,
Boys,
Stood while bullets ripped
And cannons bellowed
Until they could stand no more,
The word surrender
Unheard and unspoken.
Shoulder to shoulder
These young men,
Boys,
Lay at peace.
They lit a spark
That ignited a revolution
And the dreams of giants
Were realized
With the sacrifice of
These young men,
Boys,
Legends.
