i think i shall never see
again the day of only sun
i think the ocean in which i stand
to help wash away the fears
will continue to erode till there's barely even sand
and the mountain i climbed
each year will shrink
till the view is no greater than out the window
of the skyscraper
the birds will choke
on the politicians smoke
from the cigarette he stole
and all the lies we sold
will pile up on top of one another
and the world will soon lie still
and the noise will soon fade out
and the silence will ring
as we start again

Apparently I've learned nothing
Falling down the rabbit hole
Becomes even more enticing
The temptation pierces and nags
And I want to forget, but it won't leave from under my skin
This boy, his eyes
His beautiful mind
The circumstances of my dreams
"Nothing is as it seems, " a lure to my own gallows
But smile harder, love
The best is yet to come

let the latch fall off
let the bird go free
cant you hear it
calling
calling
let me be
let the wind flow through the trees
which finally can breathe
and if you climb them
one can see
the mountains and the sea
let the wolf stay wild
like a newborn child
the earth will grow
if we
will only set it free

to you
the moon
doesn't compare
to the light
which you shine
sending beauty
goosebumps
along my spine
spreading outward
through my being
you might
hold me
in your sight
tickle me
late at night
or sing a song
that burns in flames
the brightest light
honeybee
afraid of heights
lets move together
one step at a time
again with rhyme
I'm feeling fine
holding laughter
in my mind
love is inspirational
often the bind
makes it hard to write
all the time we talk
no fights
bicker is a trickster
spoiling and lime
sour spouting out
moving on
we leave doubt
say goodbye
to the star crushing ruckus
that we both know will
**** us
if the communication
is faithless
the words will remain wasted
tasteless in it's darkness
it's love we need to harness
to stay pure
to be raw
to be true
in all you do
we share not one side
but learn from the other
three dimensions of soft flesh
you take away my breath
so good morning and good evening
here's to believing
let's keep dreaming

It wasn't our hate that tore us apart, it wasn't the pain we felt endlessly in our hearts.
We knew this love was unbearable but yet we suffered, out of greed, out of misery, what for?
I knew i had to let go, so did you. I knew i was wrong so were you. Look at the mess, love has put us through.
I sometimes smile thinking of how we were, but when the tears start rolling memories tend to blur. She loved me and I loved her.
Then there are nights when i tend to rage, i cant seem to open up anymore, i'm confined to this cage.
Love is forever, and mine will never end, So until the day when My Mermaid Princess and I meet again.

Darling,
I honestly believe that once you tear everything down
what you rebuild can be stronger than ever. When we demolish everything
down to the very foundations
you're forced to notice the flaws from last time. And you did notice, you did know
better than I did
that though I have no practice at anything
other than giving up and walking away, I am capable of rebuilding. That knowledge, it seems, is only the latest in you proving me wrong, showing me
I'm better than I think, letting me know in the best way possible, exactly how
I have underestimated you. Darling,
I could go on, but I think
I need to thank you for not listening
to my urging you
my urging the world
my urging myself- thank you
for not giving up on me.

Though I turn and I twist
And try to resist
The persistence of
Memories

Of her, I cannot
They are part of me
And know
Where to find me

There is no shelter
From yourself
So be careful
Because todays joys
Can become, tomorrows
Woes

Tormenting you
Worming thir way into
Your diluted present

The past is no friend
It is a sea of pain
Waiting to swallow
Though who linger
On its black rocks
to try to recapture
Lost love.
