VI - The lovers

Your love is stronger than the wind
Full of rythm and harmony
But an important choice must be made
It's a choice to change your life, you must be ready

Do not be tempted by the devil
For their love is sour like an apple
Listen to your lover and yourself
Before your choices make your love ripple

II - The High Priestess

You're filled with mystery and knowlegde
Full of spiritual love, and youth
You use your heart and not your mind
To find the answers and the truth

Yet you keep the secrets locked
Painful gossip fills the air
Your thoughts irrational and self destructive
You must learn how to share

between the head and heart, you must reside
and carry on, regardless of the weight -
i hope you never see your worlds collide

if you can fight the emptiness inside
the battle's almost won, so close the gate;
between the head and heart, you must reside

it's tempting, yes, but you will be denied
from understanding, only left to hate
i hope you never see your worlds collide

discard the hunger, balance out the tide
you'll learn that dying lies in taking bait
between the head and heart, you must reside

and in you now, i know i must confide
there's so much strength in keeping in this state
i hope you never see your worlds collide

your twin-set mind, a natural divide
but you were always destined to create
between the head and heart, you must reside;
i hope you never see your worlds collide.

I knew before we started
That it wouldn’t work out.
I wanted it to
But didn’t want you.
We work in theory
But not in reality.
Too much
Too soon.
I’m overwhelmed
I am the 5 of Cups.
Imperfect relationships
Disappointment
Regret and loss.
You want to be
More than we are.
I’m not sorry
I’m finally me
Finally free.
It feels so good
To not crave any and every
Scrap of affection thrown my way.
I am hopeful
But it's not about you
This is done, no need to move on
How can you leave it behind
When you never felt it from the start?
I owe no explanations
And I will give none.

Out with the old, in with the new
I'm conforming, transforming
but it will never be for you
It's written in between the lines
                       on my lips
                        and in the cards
but I still am unsure how to read
the prophetic foreshadowing that will lead
me to the streaming feed
of water

And I'm queasy, uneasy
because the world is changing
rearranging
quicker than I can run, trip, and
fall on my knees
I am the autumn leaves
testing out new colors before giving in
                                                            decaying into the ground
                                                            allowing my molecules
to melt and morph
               and flip and turn
                                and die and create
                                                 and help my bones to permeate

Oh Lord,
help me to allow the vines
to weave in and out of the holes in my bones
growing new blossoms that release an aroma of "death"
