Easy, my love,
I prefer easy love.

I'll find it in a place where the women swoon
over my desire-frosted blue eyes and granite jaw. It's not you,
it's a need that I must fulfill and it piles higher and higher within
my body, my soul, needing to express itself in soft moans which rise
louder and louder at runner's pace, those looks of longing and lust that begin
over whiskey in a smoke-filled bar, that end amid our scattered bedsheets as her and I
pass a bottle of red back and forth, listening to our soft-spent breathing, our gazeless stares at the walls
of the empty, windowless room, knowing never to see one another ever again, never again on a night like this.

Sadly, it's all I want now,
but above all, I want for nothing.
Gone away, my easy love.

The lovers in their windows
drew my bitter eyes;
Heavens aligned that I would find a heart on to rely.

The eyes that caught me glancing
were faded as my boots.
The words inane, we shared our pain in darkened disrepute.

Her breath assuaged discomfort
and hazed my gazeless stare.
Reserves dismissed for hollow bliss, I came to be ensnared.

She stole from me my envy
and catered to my pride.
At my whim she’d quell my dreams and hold herself astride.

Today is not remembered
by distant sons, estranged.
The grand divide one must decide is cold comfort or change.

The grains upon my table
could satisfy no more.
Again enticed, against advice, I shattered our rapport.

I sent my love a dying spring
so she’d remember me.
But when the tears fell from her face, they washed into the sea.

The stars that rose above me
emerged from out the foam.
And by their light, I stood, contrite, and spent the night alone.

Removed beside the brookbank,
in hopeless disarray,
The rock and roll will steal her soul and watch her float away.

Gazeless eyes catch wind
On the minds of trees
While the frightful thought
Of reality gently subsides

Today, for the first time in my life,
Got bored observing people.

My look at those gazeless eyes
Other times plainly happy for the shining lights.

My definition of 'shining' is not equal to their's,
Of 'success' neither.

Finally alone I felt lonely for the first time in a while,
Guess all friends are away,

Except for a few inanimated ones.

The leaves were coated by the frost
that shone at night like diamonds white
The sweeping breeze let out a hiss
as cold as peaks of tallest height

There flew a lonesome snowy owl
surveying the milky land below
in search of his beloved wife
that fell in clenches of the snow

The night was harsh, but love was strong
the cold gripped at his trembling heart
And stars above filled up the sky
they watched as two were forced apart

With weary wings and heavy breath
the owl came down to meet the snow
His talons clawed and dug in deep
a frantic beast in love and woe

He thought: How she must be in pain
how hopeless on this cruel night
Below, his talons searched with hope
Above, the stars were losing light

As dismal as could be, he was
His yellow eyes now filled with gloom
But still, he fought the biting winds
and gave no thought to likely doom

He flapped his wings and flew and hopped
to find his life in snowy field
And desperate, he hooted loud
in trembling voice with cry concealed

But soon his search would reach its end
for in the distance was a mass
As white as snow and hard to spot
if not for blood that stained its parts

Scattered feathers, tattered limbs
she lay as statues, motionless
He approached her carcass, bewildered
alone and frail, in wilderness

The stars above now gave no light
as he embraced the lifeless form
Two owls of snow, two strings of love
a tragic end, with no reform

The search had left him weak and frail
Despair to hope would give no room
So he lay beside her gazeless corpse
to rest inside their frozen tomb

our minds used to dance,
upon each other fingers, our thoughts entranced.

a gaze so transfixed rock stood no feat
with your steady watch my cheeks filled a warm heat

with your absence i am rendered gazeless
my fingers now seemingly useless
I'll close my eyes,
I'll walk a mile,
I'll close my eyes,
I'll not be found.

It is true, and it is false,
And again later,
I won't find my voice.
I'll close my eyes,
To my Heart's rejoice.

I have not seen, neither
Do i want,
I want what is not nothing.
I bother not, i would close my arms,
For a long time.

Long, longer time.
Take your time.
I gazed a stare,
A gazeless stare.

I think I had seen,
A box, a lot of thoughts,
To be boxed.
To be thrown out, into,
What is pretty, much for this.
I seem to endure all of them,
I think I thought,
No it is not.
I walked a mile,
For what is not,
And it was to be sought.

The sound of flesh,
The song of flowers,
A pinch of sun,
The flow of fun.
O! Blissful blogs. Time wanding.
I am wanting, walking, building.

What?  Shut the door!

I closed again,
My eyes, my heart.
I walked a mile,
To set me apart.
