Just when I think
My inspiration has run dry
You sneak your way into my mind
And show me how to fly.

The words I construct
Flit across the page
With love and romance
And freedom from a cage.

My heart soars for you
And sings a melody
Lovesick and a romantic
For you, from me.

You've changed my life
In a magical way
From black to colorful
From plain to gay.

But what I'm trying to tell you
Is that you're very special to me
In more ways than just my love for you
But how you set me free.

It's strange how time goes by so slowly
But I feel like it's been so long
Since we have been together
Writing our love song.

But it is really great
That time tricks us like this
Cause I'd like to cherish you
In every moment of bliss.

I love you, sir
More than I think even -I- know
And I'll hold onto you forever
Because you're now stitched into my life flow.

"I really don't like this song
It sounds so terribly dead"
I looked around at all the people
They hadn't heard what I said.

"Turn it off!" I said
"Turn it off!" I said
"It's driving me completely insane!"
But the people there were inside of my head
And the song they played was the same.

I'm not very good at this
Explaining myself and what I do
Deciphering my emotions
Deciding what is wrong and what is true.

So let's start with the no
And later with the yes
One means "Absolutely!"
And the other a "I guess"

It's a bit confusing
But I know you'll understand
If maybe I write it down
To lend you a helping hand.

When I say maybe
I really don't have a clue
Of what or how I feel
And what we should do.

So back to yes it's simple
When it doesn't mean yes
It's probably a "No"
Or a "Not quite yet."

When you cross all the I's
And dot the T's
Everything is spelled correct
And really easy to read.

But if you don't speak my language
Because I'm afraid you aren't me
And you definitely aren't a girl
I'm sorry, but that's how it has to be.

And when I'm mad I'm not really mad
Or I'm very *******
Though I probably won't tell you
But clear my throat and cough.

Because when I'm nervous I fidget
And it's obvious to most
That I'm afraid to give a straight answer
For what I fear might come too close.

I don't like getting yelled at
In fact it's usually the response
That I get when I speak openly
And tell of all my wants.

But I have to learn
That you can't always be afraid
It's only more problematic
And expands the mess I made.

So I should just speak my mind
I will try, when I can
And tell you a direct answer
So that you understand.

Because I probably just boggle you
Twist you up and confuse you
Turn you upside down
Even though I don't mean to.

So sometimes yes means no
And other times no means yes
And when I say maybe
That's usually a I guess.

So that is half of the time
But even that's not completely true
I guess I could try a little harder
And break it down for you.

So yes is sometimes maybe
And no is always no
But maybe is absolutely
And I guess, is what you should watch out for.

Because when I say I guess
I really mean no, never
Unless I'm smiling
Then we can do it together.

I'm having a hard time explaining
I'm sure you can see
Maybe there's no use in trying
In figuring out me.

But I give you lots of credit
And lots of kisses too
Cause you've got it down pretty good
Probably better than I do.

So I'll stop trying to explain myself
It seems to be a waste of time
I'm only making it more confusing
By writing this rhyme.

There was a time in the world
When things were not the same
They were very different
Even by name.

Everything was backwards here
Sideways or upside down
This world was mixed up
Topsy turvy, twisted around.

The ocean swells started at the shore
And then pulled out to the sea
It's madness, I know!
But this is how it use to be.

Dogs meowed
Whales were in the sky
Cats barked
And birds didn't fly.

Clouds were pink
And grass was blue
Mountains were red
And yellow too.

When people spoke it sounded like music
And when instruments played they could talk
People didn't have faces
And they danced instead of walked.

We kicked people to say hello
Shaking hands was a crime
We had fingers instead of toes
It was such a strange, strange time!

Nobody wore any clothes
And had no hair on their head
We didn't wash with water
But bathed in mud instead.

They say the world changed
When a meteor fell from space
Creating a cosmic boom
That put things out of place.

Now here were are today
Thinking everything here is how it should be
But there once was a time before this
When everything worked differently.

So there was a time in the world
Before our time now
When everything was different
Including the why and how.

Everything was backwards here
Sideways or upside down
This world was mixed up
Topsy turvy, twisted around.

We're waiting for our death
Or maybe just a new beginning
The storm is haunting the horizon
Black clouds with lightning grinning.

The rumbling of the thunder
Is laughing at our fear
Or maybe it's my imagination
But the worst will soon appear.

They said for years
That when the storm arrives
Beasts will come from the dark
And we will run for our lives.

Some will die then
But most will die soon after
In the storm bouts of acid
And the thunders laughter.

But if you don't die then
It'll be from the flood
Drowning in your misery
Or trapped in the sludge mud.

And if you're still alive
You better have a boat
The beasts of the sea will eat you up
"Apocalyptic ******!" she wrote.

Her name was Sylvia
A mystical seer
From the before times
She told what she could hear.

The wind whispered to her
All these terrible things
Here they are before us now
And this is what she said they would bring.

So we're waiting for our death
We've all ready felt the plague
The storm is haunting the horizon
Until the end of our days.

I'll capture your soul in a jar
and keep it close to me
I'll carry it a distance so far
and set it by the sea.

Your soul will glow and gleam
and yearn to be let out
I'll open the lid and beam
let you be free and flit about.

From the city I rescued you
from all the pain and sorrow
By the sea will do
and we will leave back home tomorrow.

But for now we will cherish this
a moment for your soul and mine
To wrap around each other in bliss
by the sea, for a short time.

The stars begin twinkling above us
the ocean waves ride low and high
We watch the moon after dusk
and dance in it's light.

The water at our feet
cold and freezing but we don't care
Because our love is our heat
keeping us warm when we're bare.

At sunrise I return you to your jar
and carry you close to my chest
For next year we will travel this far
To this place in the west.

My one day with you
I cherish it all year long
I wish there was more we could do
to be together like music and lyrics of song.

But this is all we have
so I am thankful for it
Hopeful that our love will last
I don't know about you, but I won't quit.

So next year I can't wait
To be with you again
The time that passes I so very hate
But it will be worth it in the end.

Galactic starlight of gold
Fluorescent and glowing strong
I'll keep it even though
I can't hold it very long.

This odd ball of bright
Is everyone's guiding star
With it you can see the city
And you can see very far.

But it's the only light in the city
Because every other it consumes
Who needs more than this ball of bright?
Only the greedy, it presumes.

It has a mind of it's own
It's goal to protect and control
The people worship it humbly
Their oppression something unknown.

They can't leave the city
To the world outside
The ball of bright though is hungry
For more power, in it's pride.

Cause the star is confined
To these city walls
Though it's powerful
It cannot leave at all.

So within these walls it suffers
As the people suffer as well
Though they're blissfully unaware
Of the stars want to rage Hell.

The starlight ball so bright
Really wants to leave the city behind
In it's yearn for freedom
It has a plan in mind.

It'll expand the walls of the city
By raging wars and fire
Gain more land and thus more freedom
And build it's tower higher and higher.

That is not what it really wants
The freedom is nice and fine
Though it's not really freedom at all
But power hungry in kind.

Because though it has more land
More people and more power
The walls still trap it endlessly
So it resides alone in it's tower.

Immortal life for the star
Along with power and land
But a yearn for freedom
To be held in a hand.

And let it go into the sky
Back to where it belongs
We took it for our own greed and power
Let it be free to go home.

Stars shouldn't be confined
Within city walls to rule everyone
To be worshiped and fed power
When it should just have freedom.

Feed it and it grows strong and mindless
But let it be free and it will be soft and guiding
Feed it and it will be powerful and hungry
But let it be free and it will grant wishes to your liking.

So keep the stars in the sky
They can still guide us through the night
But they're free up there
And it's better for everyone in their plight.
