We are the lonely children
Who get lost in the wood
Yet find peace in each other
We are the lonely children

Bonded by our ancestors
To carry the light of the garden
Yet we fell and heard our beats
Bonded by our ancestors

We live in dull ghostly towns
Crowned in the dark alleys
Yet we stomp and the world shakes
We live in full ghostly towns

You play with the cobra fearless
I run in fear , my fate, my dear
Yet you can encase me from danger
You play with the cobra fearless

In the gust of the wind I love you
Take my words as the solid truth
Yet circumstance let us queue
In the gust of the wind I love you

translucence is rare
withdraw your opaque armor
swim in fearless love

Iridescent celestial being
An anarchic yet effervescent adolescent
Frolicking freely like a breeze throw the leave of an omnipresent forest.
Bare foot and star gazing, native and trail blazing.
Like a clever fearless fairy exploring the faraway night sky
She is the fantastic bit of magic on an otherwise static planet.
The captain of passion and best little hippie on the mountain
Formed by a volcanic fountain that caused a panic on our little oceanic planet.

once upon a time
i thought feelings mattered
if it can change your whole world,
it has to mean something

it's impossible for one to feel so much
and the other nothing at all
because darling, i am so in love with you
and it'd pain me to know that you didn't love me too

but then again you don't know that
because i keep my mouth shut
or maybe you do,
but keep yours shut too

you have it easy
people chasing you here and there
because that's just how special you are
and i hate how i fell for it
i hate how i fell for you

and though i know you could never fall for someone like me,
i cant help but cling on to the hope
that maybe you really are different
maybe you defy the odds
maybe you're the angel who was sent to love me

but right now
i'll keep this where it is
i don't want to lose another friendship
due to a failed attempt at a relationship,
and remember everything about myself
that i know will never be good enough

so excuse me if i seem
unsolvable, mysterious, secretive, even sketchy
but i dont want to open my heart up
to someone like you
because you don't deserve
to have my image of you ruined
when you break my heart with your sincerity

so while it's still alive but barely breathing,
please stop doing that thing you do
because i know im fearless, but oh darling,
the one exception is: i am afraid of loving you

I seek
the whole
pitch
and whine
the petty
grasping
ridiculous
insecure
******* mess
behind the
lyrical niceties

but you know that
you get me
we ride the same
pendulum
apex
of light
nadir
of night
and like me
you're still learning
to speak

sometimes
words die
in your mouth
never make it out
resting roundly sweet
on your passive
tongue
bitter truth
I would forgive
before I'd see you
swallow


*Better to risk offending than let your truth die unsaid.
Now, the mountains rise
But we must cast the dice
Being powerless will not suffice
Fear, must be courage in disguise

But, alas, there the trophy on top
The soil may crack, but we may hop
And as inferno grabs, we must not stop
Until the fingertips, on the gold, drop

It's her, the woman of steely resolve,
who fills every lighted part
of my consciousness,so thankful, I am to her
The wife who never lets down
her man who faltered and fell,
love being the ***** in her armor
she is careful not to hurt there,
our eyes exchange texts, only
we could read and an instance

She was the one who found me out
lost from the neighborhood of her heart,
brought me back from the outback
from the jaws of the beasts of prey,
where i was stuck in a thorny thicket,
lost almost for ever bleeding,pale,
if only she didn't decide to conduct
a one woman adventure, a rescue mission
against all odds,with much *****,
and presence of mind, one rarely see
even in alpha males,who habitually
boast aloud,of having ***** to stand up
against any adversity and fight.
For me it was she who did it and all alone!

Young and callow,
a bird of infirm wings still,
alone i flew long distances
circled around,hallucinatory visions,
lost my way, eventually went down,
my love may have failed before,
but she happened ,in the moment of epiphany,
otherwise would I ask her , without a second thought
to be with me all through the journey of my life?
It would not have been,but her heart listened
to my voice wistfully spoke to it, as if becoming weak,
caught in a storm lashed over the thicket and
she came searching at the right time, rescuing me .

Gun fights and volcano eruptions we survive,
even thunder storms, mad dog attacks and cheats,
broken hearts and misfortunes of every kind too.
Never do I forget this dear face of courage,
the woman staying firmly behind me, a sturdy rock,
sticking to her faith on me and a prayer on her lips,
with the staunch belief that I'll come out a winner.
Lovingly dedicated to sweet Lady M, a fearless fighter
wife of a dear friend, in appreciation of her fighting his battle
with dark demons these days sticking with him, while he still continues his walk in the dark, towards the beckoning light..

Am I getting to close
to your heart.
Do you take distance
for leaving in silence.
Can you take off your
protective shell.
Show your naked skin.
Be fearless in the dark.
Shine your light
from within.
Are you reaching
out for me.
Do you even know
what you mean to me.
My words can make
you happy or sad.
It's your choice wich
one it could be.
