there are nights where i stay up daydreaming of a wonderland

a wonderland of vignetted sepia books and tea stained lips,
a wonderland where the sun hides for a while, and lets us be real
a wonderland where no one else exists
so that my arms persist on staying around you

a wonderland where my hands lay in yours
while we read sappy poetry
poetry no one else we know would find interesting
but poetry that means the world to us;

a wonderland where rain falls in my backyard on orange trees
to the setting of our eyes like big blue seas
never parting
leaves rustling

a wonderland where music plays and sways so sway with me
to a light thunder storm
and kiss me slowly
so we can keep each others lips warm

because its cold in our winter wonderland
but a little cold never stopped anyone
a little cold in life slows us down, but we put on our jumpers and forge on

so forge on
my dear winter girl,
because i know that sometimes
a house isn't really a home
and it gets hard when I'm alone
so come whenever you feel like you cant stand
and lay with me, in our own winter wonderland.

we are reconstituted stars
trying to understand
our brothers and sisters
that still lay in the heavens

oh what beautiful irony

and ill show you what the universe has hidden in the stars

A small hour with you
Makes a dull day bright
For through the day, of you
I will think until night.

What is a black day?
It's when both the sun and the clouds disappear
So all that's left in the day time when you reach upwards
Is a sad, empty atmosphere.

Days when it feels like I forget how to talk properly
Where my head hurts for no reason
Days where almost
Every
Voice
That calls my name sounds like another punch in the gut

That kinda day

Sometimes a black day turns into a black week...

Black month....

You have these black days too, we all do to an extent.
Part of being human.

But the problem with a black day is the black night that follows
A left for dead entrapment of thoughts that barrel
And barrel
                   And barrel
                                       And barrel
Around in a constant loop.
                  
                                        ­                                          I'm not him

But now I tell you, nay promise
My black days will no longer conquer me
No longer conquer you.

In a day like so, look deeper into that black.
Deeper beyond our sad, empty atmosphere there's stars.
Warm                                 beautiful                                      stars
Stars with perhaps another blue marble else where
With perhaps someone staring back, in their black day.
Past their own sad, empty atmosphere.


An interstaller connection
So I ask for a suspension
Of disbelief
A relief
Knowing that underneath every chest beats a heart,
a heart that has black days
But beats on,  none the less
So, beat on.

Let the black days come and go
Let the stars; hearts beyond ours,  help you; me
Let the past be left alone
Let loose ends be tied
Let that which hurts never be touched again, but learn.

Learn that I will help you paint new clouds, new sun into your empty atmosphere. Help you gather the brushes, pour out the paint.
So that my black days are less empty, so that you can help me paint my sun.
And so that your black days have more color.

the room was empty
dark
like no one else was there
through my eyes
in my arms
you stood with perfect hair
i stared
and thought
what little chance this could be
to have you, my winter girl
as pretty as can be

A modern day Renaissance Man
Is a scientist who can feel without a theory
Who can theorise without feeling

Seperate,  his emotions and logic lie
But together when needed again

Crafting himself a world that is both beautiful
And efficient


So Einstein's violin let light be made constant
So Hawking's humour let black holes be radiant
So Leonardo's paintings let machines be made

So let my words
My notes
My voice
Lead to the latter
Onto the new
A dedication to the art of science, and a prayer for the future.
