Our every kiss, was cast in shade.
each time your presence, had my day made,
it was the dark of night, or rain, or cloud,
the pathetic fallacy was screaming loud,
yet I ignored it, for I loved you,
but now I know, I wasn't meant to.

I am just a foolish fisherman
Fishing for the fish for me
Of all the fish in this blue sea
Only one is right for me

I wake at dusk
And cast til dawn
I catch a few
And throw them back
They're not the one for me

Day by day I try
But all to no avail
This lonely heart can only think
Maybe there is no fish for me

Day by day I waste away
When a fish approaches me
Casts its line, and reels me in
This fish has captured me

I am just a foolish fisherman
But my heart is filled with glee
Today I've learned a lesson
I, too, am a fish inside the sea

The last flight and
the blue light
extinguishes
the flame.

I've become so sick
Of being walked on.
I was once told vulnerability
Isn't weakness.
But now I'm trying to figure out
Why am I so weak?

Tribute to the fallen
Guardians of the union

Accolade to the warriors
Combatants sworn

Standing straight
Before their Lord

Eulogy to the brave
Salvo of respect

Applause to the Eagles
Conscripts of the sky

Medal of the departed
Proud on their shoulders

Offering to our cadaverous
Salute to our gone brethren

Gone, not forgotten
We think them dead

We perceive them not
Living are they,
in their love of the Lord

black infection
encrusted society

shifty figurehead
sightless humanity

labelled multitudes
open forgery

smokescreen to the social order

decomposing culture
dead camaraderie

The icy sting shocks me into consciousness,
and the water weighs heavy on my lashes.
I blink away the soft blurred white
and the sink is bleached and
clinical as the water rushes
over it's slick, porcelain skin.
The coolness traces the blood-rush red
of my crippled fingers, and slowly, I crumble.
