Hidden behind the masks.
Where are all the people?
Indoors! You ask –

Where are all my friends?
Scattered like the leaves –
Minus the bunch
hidden under the eaves.
Saddnes snaring, Call at the sun if he's awake.
He's staring down, just not at you and your pity clouds.
Cry alone.

Kafka Joint
I close my eyes and I'm so happy with you,
I open my eyes and wish that you existed,
And so I'm blinking all the day.

New to the world
The little bird

Few feathers
Ambitions high
Looking up to the beautiful sky
Wishing to fly

Toddled up to the new branch
A balancing act, tried
The fruits ripe, nourishment found

Few feathers
Ambitions high
Looking up to the beautiful sky
Wishing to fly

The little bird
New to the world
Knew it had to fly
Soon it grew more wings

Rose up to the treetops
Soon found
The rose gold sky

Ambitions high
Looking up to the beautiful sky
Wishing to fly
Inspired by the rose gold sky

Anemone
Hello. It's nice to meet you.
My name is Anemone. What's yours?
Cool, do you want to play?

Hey, I've really missed you.
You aren't returning my calls,
Is everything okay?

Hey, it feels like it's been ages,
What's going on,
Where have you been?
Oh, that's sad, I'm so sorry,
Do you want a hug,
Come on bring it in!

Uh hey, I know you said you're busy
Just wanted to ask.... anyway,
You know my parents don't believe you
When you flake on me every day

But its fine,
I know you're busy
And I know what you're going through
Just promise me you'll remember
I'm always here for you

Hey, maybe we could do something this weekend,
No, you're right that's true
But my schedule is wide open
I don't have anyone but you

love always ends miserably
someone dies
so I'll never love
since I have loved
and lost
There is a torrent of cascading sapphire,
Bursting and burbling across rock.
Fringed with ivory froth.
And pooling into a depth of aquamarine and mint.

Poor poets would be rather flush,
if we could dab words with a brush.
There had never been a call
For a sonnet on your wall.

You'll see that once words fly
All the mock birds in the sky
Will stop their petty lies
