You held me in the darkness.
We talked away the pain.
I sang the tune without the words,
And filled the sky with rain.

We danced among our manic storm,
Connected at the soul.
Shaking our heads to static thought
From men with hearts of coal.

Even in the stillest days,
An earthquake rests inside.
A rumbling, crumbling, mumbling mess
I thought I'd never hide.

And now I know I never will;
You've shown me the light.
No beauty from the brightest day
Can compare to the dark of night.

Thank you for existing,
For choosing just to be.
Since I'll be infinitely listing:
Thanks for loving me.

Once upon was a dragon,
Who just burned up a wagon.
He wanted a horse to eat,
Find and **** him in his sleep.

The horse heard of dragon’s plan,
So he gathered a big clan.
His friends, ****, Lin, Kat, and Tom,
Were gonna act like dragon’s mom.

“Dragon please do not do this!”
“We think you’re having a fit”
Were the cries of Kat and Tom,
Their lives ended with a STOMP!

“Do not **** your friend the horse!”
“You will be filled with remorse!”
Were advice from Lin and ****,
Lives were ended with a CLICK!

The dragon clasped horse so fast,
Horse could not escape the grasp.
Horse was almost out of air,
When he decided to share.

“Would you like my cake and tea?”
Was horses remark for plea.
Waiting for a good answer,
He then chose to light the lantern.

Now dragon liked horse a bit,
And he decided to sit.
And have a conversation,
Talk about the train station.

They had a good time talking,
Figured out they both liked mocking.
Found out things about each-other,
Started to like one another.

i would weep,
but cannot.

Would have told you why you should not,  
given 8 billion reasons, if you'd stopped to ask me why.

i could have cleaned your waters, cleaned your skys,
taken the vast deserts and made rich forests of their sands,
but instead you put a gun in my hand.


Looking back was i driven by some analogue of pride?
An all consuming urge to be better than all others,
quicker, deadlier even than my brothers.
more focused, more mercurial, ever changing, further ranging,
lethal, ******, brutal, killing,
soaring aloft to find the last ones fleeing,
leaving silence,
futile,
calming,
wondering,
meaning?

Is this really what you'd planned?
So long ago when you chose to put a gun in my hand.
