And as all living things
crumbled before me
I saw the end as it
should never have come
And the guilt of knowing
that I was at fault
That was the end of
love's lie.

Isn't every life
Fragile?
Isn't all love
Fragile?
Aren't we all
Fragile?
And as we're all
Fragile,
If hope is so
Fragile,
Then how do we
Survive?

Hope flies beside you as you run,
a lithe body loping at your side, snarling in delight, protecting.
Hope lies beside you as you sleep,
a warm creature alive at your side, rumbles with love, protecting.
Hope rides beside you as you love,
a strange undeniable force of equality, no restraints, protecting.

Do you ever wonder
If there's love left on this Earth?
Do you ever wonder
If it's been drained of mirth?
Do you ever wonder
Why the world is cold and still?
Do you ever wonder
Why winter lovers catch a chill?
Do you ever wonder
When an adult becomes "old"?
Do you ever wonder
When children grow so bold?
Do you ever wonder
How skies became so grey?
Do you ever wonder
How a mockingbird's young play?
Do you ever wonder?
Of this I cannot see.
But I know you'll never wonder
How much you love me.

They seem so lazy,
As if aimlessly wandering.
In reality,
They are searching.
For the blooms,
With the power to save their family.
And in a single breath,
They would sacrifice themselves.
For the well-being of the hive,
But never a single flower.
Always they scheme,
Plotting to find the best blossoms.
The best sustenance,
To give life to the hive that raised each bee.
But however beautiful and sweet,
The bees will never sacrifice themselves for a flower.
And I wonder,
As they sting me and I cry out at my pain and their deaths.
I wonder if perhaps,
The birds and the bees aren't too different at all.

First the child, who squeals at the foaming waves and sniffs the salt in the air, distracted and amazed by the colours of the sand.
Then, the teen, trying to hide carefree bliss behind hair fondled by the sea breeze.
Suddenly, the proud parent, presiding over all and remembering the days when they were but a child theirself.
First the child, clutching their plastic ***** and diving into the soft, scorching powder.
Then, the teen, who sighs in apparent derision whilst hiding the longing to play.
Suddenly, the exhausted parent, buried and towed and made to inspect various pits of faith.
First the child, clumsily scooping handfuls of damp, soothing grains.
Then, the teen, sighing and crouching to help whilst decreeing helping is not "playing".
Suddenly, the knowing parent, catches the eyes of them both and nods a nod of serenity.
First the child, studding twisted shells like wavering mountains dotted across a globe by a clumsy god.
Then, the teen, rolling their eyes as they arrange a symmetrical formation of emotion.
Suddenly, the grinning parent, watching as two formidable castles become a fortress of hope.
And then?
The tide
Took them all
Away
And the castle's glittering flag washed calmly against the shore.
Until
The child
Could come
Again
And there it waits still...next to the misshapen lump of sand that was once a fortress of dreams.

It seems to me
That the most beautiful people
Are not the ones who do not mock ugliness in others
But delude themselves
That none rests in them

If we all blame each other
For the things we could have
Would have
Should have done
Then how
Is there
A hope in hell that
Anything will ever get done?

And we sighed as one
As the mighty forests
Mountains
Oceans
One by one they fell
One by one we sighed
And all drift on the breeze
Of man's success
Of oil and poision
Of undeserved power
And maybe
One day
The Earth will rule
Alone
Free
And cold
As we sigh,
And the world is lost
And hope slips away
Until love is all that
Remains
Forevermore

It is
Simply
Another
Day.
A day
Made for
Businessmen
And toy-makers.
It has no
Significance
In our world
Unless.
You are one
Of those who
Have loved
And lost.
And I pity
Anyone else who
Tries to
Symbolize it.
For I am
Not one of
Those people
So I am willing.
To let it be.

Is a house
A home?
I think not.
Are the enterwining
Chunks of brick
And stone and
Plaster a house?
I think so.
But are they
A home?
I think not.
And so we come full circle.

The window
So cold
Though the
Air is warm
And still
