Our planet flies through space
As  lovers embrace
Creating shards of light
Shattering the darkest night.


My dear look down
Upon the stone faced ground.
Gaze upon the fields and mountains
Contemplate the isles that rest
In unrepentant loneliness.


Here for you a golden chain
Put our blue green home upon it
Wear it round your neck enthrone it
Let it roll upon your breast
As galaxies entwine your hair
And falling stars are
Everywhere.


Kiss me once and then we fly
Leaving sun and moon behind
Wearing gowns of shifting starlight
Drinking deep celestial wine.


Now I have you in this place
Somewhere deep in endless space.
Teach me how to really kiss
As we merge in endless bliss.

the other day, i took a walk.
and on that walk,
i came across
a couple mockingbirds who seemed
determined to laugh at me.
you see,
on that walk,
the trail was lined
with memories
of you and i
that i so desperately tried
to leave behind.
and no matter how far i would go,
the ever-so
intoxicating
aroma of nostalgia
was suffocating
me.
and those memories of you and i
that i so desperately tried
to leave behind,
kept guiding me.
you see,
those memories
took me on a different road.
one that led me to forgo
the path that was laid out for me.
and even though,
i chose a different path
to end this walk,
i glanced back
because that trail was the only road
that led me to this new path.
that trail that was lined
with memories of you and i
that i so desperately tried
to leave behind.

Ripples in time, wrinkles of fluff.
One more memory, not enough.
Diffuse the thoughts, rebundle them up.
Empty the bottle, fill the cup.
Pour it back and forth, in and out.
Sincere recollections, without a doubt.
Residue builds, the layers form.
Peel them away, reveal the worm.
Squirming side to side, to and fro.
Little Wormy, where to go?
Jump to the left, then the right.
Play that accordion night by night.

My cheeks
                               Flush red
And my knees
                                   Go weak

A school-girl
                                           Crush
On the new kid

Except this
Isn't school,
This is                       work

And my                           mind
Goes places it shouldn't
And before I know it
I'm                                          imagining
Us in the back room
Lip rings                                        entangled

I shake away the             thought
When you walk past
I try to                                          play it
                                                             Cool
But the only thing
That comes out of
                                               My mouth
Are quiet                                           stutters

Cheeks growing      redder
Knees                              weaker

Oh­, the things          you
Do to                               me

Of course
That's when
                                               She
Goes through your line
And                                             greets
you with                                              
                                                             A kiss
Of course
                Of course


How could someone
                                 Like you
Be alone
                                 Like me...?

when I stare
and think
All I see is your face
for some reason its always raining
and the trees are never moving,
the waters warm
but your dry.
I saw a feather fall the other day
and wondered where the bird was,
the sky was blue that day
I smiled thinking how you would
look floating to the ground,
I heard people are always asleep
when they float,
How do you sleep in the sky?

Throw me out

once you are finished


When your interest

has diminished
  

Nothing lasts

and surely love

eventually fades


Throw me out

once you are done


When you're no longer havin' fun

When the day feels like a rerun


Throw

me

out



Cause all I've ever know

is temporary passion


Feelings change


Quicker then

the newest fashion


Throw me out

at first hint

of something better


Throw me out

Like you threw out

those old love letters

I have seen you die a hundred deaths in the name of love,
each one taking a little more of you,
  tightening the chains woven round your heart.

Your eyes close when your lover wounds you,
wishing for the sweet release,
  as he slips the blade between your ribs.

You never die from these wounds of love,
though you wish it often enough,
  but wishing does not make it so.

Your lover pours honey into this great hole he has made in you,
and you taste this nectar and blood,
  and then you let him take you.

I have seen you sacrifice yourself to the god Janus,
though in your  honest defense,
  you believed him to be Adonis.

Forgive me for hurting you now,
though I swear forever,
  you will never ******* blade.

Your love strikes you down so terribly,
not because it is it's nature,
  but because it is not love.

So many ounces of pain,
and so many ounces of pleasure,
  these form the chains that bind you.

But it is not love.

The sweetest sadness in his smile
Anyone can see he’s been hurting for awhile
Who’d have thought a man on his own
Could build walls so strong

The softest pain behind his eyes
You can tell he’s trying not to cry
When I question what happened to you
And he answers a love that wasn’t true

I’ll make everything all right
Until then I’ll just hold him tonight
I’ll make everything all right
Until then I’ll just hold him tonight

And I’m sure that he’ll put up a fight
Push me away with all of his might
Even so in time I’ll break through
Then maybe he can help me heal too

I’ll make everything all right
Until then I’ll just hold him tonight
I’ll make everything all right
Until then I’ll just hold him tonight

Who’d have thought a man on his own
Could build walls so strong
