#dazzle
mountain peaks i watch from my bus
i imagine the scale of us
just two specks of dust
floating in the pool of love
did i lose you?
did you lose me?
i still choose you?
do you choose me?
i sink into nature, pray for healing
an elixir for the grief that rests
an omnipresent weight on my chest
i wish you the best, i suppress
become the type of person who is perfect
affirmed and earned
my pearly whites shine and dazzle
someone of worth

_At this time of year,
it seems that everyone
is looking for a piece of blue sky
with a little bit of green;
Among the frazzle and the dazzle,
the trash and the tinsel,
a piece of themselves
that they misplaced;
Down the back of the sofa,
back in the day
when blue sky grew on trees
and green summers were forever._

I wished to see my beloved
living in my heart.
When she appeared
for the first time, her radiance,
her light dazzled my eyes!
But so clear I can see her eye
in the corner of it is a tear.
Days, months, years passed by
like it did then till now her eyes
whisper in every single word!
Speaks in the words in my alphabet
and in the words that are her
I am yet to know that makes me wonder!

I fear the day I cease to breathe
The retraction of the unholy
In its nauseating trance
That I am entangled in its captivation
The serenity of the raindrops clouding
As they flounder amongst the field
Protruding the fellow's dance
The day my essence vanishes
Dissipates to naught when I am caught
By the claws of angels that soar the sky
The dazzle of their improbable happiness
Incapable of genuine light
Beyond the velvet marshmallow sky
They reflect a fabricated smile
For suffering merely is lifting its skirt

I faced the bunnies of the apocalypse.
Their glare - ever so piercing,
intruding,
alluring.
In purity, ceasing discontinuity,
the emotions so effervescent
Borderline present
in despair, the infernal chase
In a hellbent daze I secluded myself
From the vertigo of suicide, I was in a dazzle
The warmth of despair enveloping me
In golden hue.
Eerily
creeping
near
in
obscurity,
The effulgence of the universe darkened
my eyes.
The spinning epitome, ever so frightening
Enlightening, it drew
near.
The ambient visions speak - the devil sleeps
I stood amongst the burnt umber
in my heart.
The putrid dirt stains, the chocolate emulsion
Gagging me in repulsion, in absurdity of thee
The abominations dominate all
of my intention.

Forever Evermore
Walk with me
through fields of clover
Lay me down
in sheets of linen
Let me see the dazzle
of the candlelight
in the brilliance
of Your ways
We will walk
when all has answer
We will kiss
beneath that tree
We will know
all has come full-circle
in a moment
just We between
Then remember
to never say never
No never
Nevermore
For my love
will hold You always
On the crossing
and beyond the river
To that place
of Forever and Ever...
and Forever Evermore

It was never this easy
Never this easy to cry
But the sorrow haunts me
And the thought of not having you
is enough
to break walls and shatter constelations.
Yet, I don't want any of that
Except you
And your mad smile
And waking up electryfied with the sight
of your ******* and the smell of eggs cooked
First thing in the morning

*Rays shimmer off, like the sun on the water,
reflecting its beauteous stature.
Amber captures the moments,
holds them forever.
Soft, smooth, and unforgettable.
Confidence glitters within,
Elegance dazzles the exterior.*

**All we see is how beautiful it is
With its intricate designs and sparkle
We love flaunting our wealth
Adorned in dazzling, glittering jewels
We never stop and think
About the blood spilt; the lives lost
In order to get these precious gems
For little less than tuppence a day**

her iron words rusted in the rain
so we had to sit in the hot afternoon
restoring the image she had painted with a sweet turn of phrase
dazzled by the sunlight i did not see
so she played it back for me
so slow and sweet if you listen real close
to the sound of her viper pen scratch the dry page
hear it dragged over like an old man scraping his dead skin
how lovely the dance between dark and light
wrong and right
and she says....
now i stretch my limbs
step so boldly like a cheshire and do it slow so it looks
like i got graceful art to my ways
wrap myself up in laces and wine
keep my smile dark and my lovin eyes on you
while i step over the cracks in the sanity of it
sip the cool liquids with a careful symmetry
sway to the lovely song
and wait for you to show me the way
because as a girl she doesn't want appear to be too bold
lest she find her bed cold
so dance slow with her slow my friend
because she will love a gentle breeze
more than a wicked wind
show your strengths in your hesitations
show your moonlight harbinger before you
show her your dark dreams
she needs to know you are evolved
beyond schoolboy charms
so dance real slow
and romance yourself with her beauty
if you stay she will liberate the lace
let you into the palace
let you into her long hot summer day
scrape you with viper pen

Artists are like crystals
Must be handled with care
One slip
Oops!
You loose it all there
However
On the brighter side
Even if they shatter
They still glint
Whatever be the matter
Crystal cleaving
May scatter the lusture
But the process
Can never douse the dazzle
