I took shelter underneath a dim structure deep within the city..
The beautiful light rain fell like a cascade of sun filled diamonds..
It was so beautiful..
The dripping shine that was falling from me became shadow drops.
They ran along the dim light floor and collected in the corner of the room.
It was there I saw a strange insect of blue light..

The light storm was somewhat of a blessing.  It seem to chase all the light beings indoors .  They too were waiting out the storm.  Meanwhile I was dripping light rain that would soon turn into shadow drops and would run down to the corner of the room.  A small puddle of shade formed there.  It was like looking into a hole with no beginning or end if that makes sense.   Then from the window flew in a bright star blue insect of sorts.  Its wings made a strange flute like sound.  It flew into the puddle of shade and seem to lather itself in the dark waters.  It then flew toward me.   Could it see me?  It truly was not an insect. It was a pattern of beautiful shapes with 4 white wings made of light.  I moved away from it suddenly.  It then flew into my gathered darkness and would roll around in it.  It almost seem liked it enjoyed my leaking shadow.  It then flew out the window into the light storm.   I then fell asleep in a dark corner of my accidental creation.  I awoke to a harmony of sounds.  The room was now filled with these strange insect like patterns of all colors.  They were all bathing in my shadow.

falling in love
love you more
more than you ever loved me

lies are only lies to those who know
i've watched the lights flick out of the brightest eyes.
  light but no shadow

cloaked by thunder and into the murky river's flow
some tell others the dark is only right at night
   lies are only lies to the ones that know

death clinically reaps and sows
   men, women, and children all break the same
    light but no shadow

  the living walk blind, their hearts show
  shades of gray, and with grief on its way, right or wrong: they will grow
     lies are only lies to the ones that know

and if i were to bleed for tomorrow
  my wound would ooze grey, dripping into the far and unknown
    light but no shadow

the sun and moon do not glow the same glow
on the shade that would reveal that good isn't always good
   and lies are only lies to those who know
    light but no shadow
