My first thought as I woke was of the stars
Of the boy who tried so hard to get back to his rose
The love I feel, the sadness and the hope
That my rose will bloom
My world will be the one where the rules make sense
There will be no pretense
Just the love of ones rose, the friendship of the fox
and the knowledge of the snake.

You will never see the stars again the same way my friend
We shall be bonded to the very end
By stars, the love of a rose, a fox and snake
Not to mention the pilot for goodness sake!
Here is to drawing an elephant being eaten by a snake
To which the grown ups will never understand
Here is to learning to draw something other than a sheep ; )
And here is to discovering your rose, for which there will be only one
My gift to you came with love~
The stars will never be the same again my friend

I can't wait to lay my eyes on you,
For my hands to hold you.

For your tight grip on my one finger,
For your barely opened eyes to be filled with wonder.

For my breath to catch with yours,
For your heart to beat steady in my arms, you're already adored.

I'm going to protect you and be your savior,
*You're my baby girl.

a thirsty soul suspended over the
waters of this heartland like some kind of
symbolic sacrifice to the lesser demigods
she is wearing a hippy skirt and a fashionable hat
a swift sunrise gives her aspects of divinity

she tells me she came here to go shopping
but in the turbulent space between our hearts
something has changed
she tells me cloudy days make her sad
i tell her rain is a companion to no man
but the flowers love it just the same
she knows she loves it too

i pick up her thought and bounce it like a rubber ball
cause it keeps comin back to me'
just like that mysterious smile that
lingered on her face
long on my mind
i cant seem to shed the thought
that it all means something someplace
always somebody thirsty somewhere

the clock stopped at a quarter to four
and a shameful woman sits there fixing her face
with the wrenches and hammers of fashionable practice
seek to be the same as everybody else
someday your bound to get there
just to find yourself questioning why you
bothered once your there

her and the shameful woman put a
heated argument in the pocket of hunger
and giggling like schoolgirls walk away
to go find a mirror to get lost in
swap makeup and spit in some bathroom selfies
girls night out

i'm standing out here in the open air parking lot
watching the heartland of fiveashes sink slowly into the sea
walk on the puddles reflections of clouds
as they break apart to bring us a brand new day
rain is a companion to no man
but the flowers like it anyway
