If I could paint a picture with my words A palette of stars..rainbow of verbs Illuminate heaven for all to see Bring everlasting peace to humanity Alas I know it's a dream A *** has to boil to build up steam There is no clock..Endless is time Measuring moments in our mind Delusion illusion..Do you trust what you see? Someone needs to question society's vanity Systems smoking..Politics broken Humanity choking everyone is coping Complicate the simple take us off our path Study patterns of History do the math Yesterday's tomorrow is same as today All possibility in the word of play Feel the wrong..Feel the right Living in the middle gives us sight Beauty within tames nature of the beast Pretty words provide hope till we find our peace...

Pretty Words
You gave me all the pretty words that I needed to hear, But they weren't from you from which I wanted to hear. I fell into your carefully laid trap, I fell into the routine - The routine that I needed Those god **** words that I craved from the very bottom of my soul, You took advantage of my vulnerable mind, And twisted it to what you wanted. Who was I to believe that you had changed, You led me to make some bad decisions, that in the moment I didnt regret, But now, now I do. You were nothing but a pretty face that fed me Lies, Lies that never had any truth behind them. You gave me all the pretty words that I needed to hear, But they weren't from you from which I wanted to hear.

Pretty Words, Bad Decisions
Then it hit me: You're my hiraeth You never held home in your heart Only smelled like it when you held me in your arms You've got wanderer written inside your bones You could never be my home I only thought you were Because I wanted you to be I wanted to belong with you, inside four walls, forever But we were meant to explode and burn There's no caution to our love We can't be each other's security Our love is made of fire and stars, combusting and combusting until there's nothing left behind But I'll let you be my hiraeth Because you hold adventure in your eyes Begging me with just a look "one more ride?" And I know you've got a string tied around my heart As i run along side Then it hit me: You're my ephemeral You were never meant to last Only held too much wisdom in your past You're going to die before you're old For only so long can your veins pump gold I only thought you would last Because I wanted you to I wanted you to be forever, to lay here forever with me, at home But you were meant to burn out Live fast, love hard, and die before your time You can't be my forever We are made of matches and candles and rushed kisses and goodbyes But I'll let you be my ephemeral Because you hold knowledge in your eyes And when I beg you "just one last ride?" You smile as if you know it will be Because every moment is your last

It Hit Me
Loving you was both ineffable and unendurable I felt a hiraeth for your heart As you had already set mine aquiver Your voice sounded so mellifluous and sonorous That it was almost nefarious The epoch of while I looked at you I knew this wasn’t limerence And every day I prayed for serendipity You were ethereal So much so that it seemed almost illicit You smelt of petrichor Maybe it was just my glasses That made you look iridescent And made you look like you were luminescent I didn’t need to rub my eyes to sense phosphines When you were near me Because although the time I got to spend with you was ephemeral It sent me into oblivion Because I was convinced this was yuanfen It kind of made me feel like defenestrating you You made me go through metanoia The thought of you was eunoia I guess what I’m trying to say is I’m ******* in love with you
