it's snowing in april and
the bluejays have abandoned their nest to
welcome the newcoming of spring;
we have no furniture, sweetheart,
but we do have time. last night i
held your cheek in my tiny palm and
asked if you wanted me to rest
in your arms forever -
"of course", you soothed,
and i brewed cherry coffee in the morningtime
to remind myself
that this life is good.
we have no money, sweetheart,
but we do have time. we do have time.
just a short one.
Bizarre timing of a twisted breath, distorted beat
nostalgic and melancholic memories
newcoming dawn, colorless one
a fading spark in a girl's eyes
clouded sight of innocence
longing for care,
immobilized unsure of if
there really is, a purpose for
the life awaiting her, hours passing by
come board the ship, observe the world
all of the magnificent, ancient legends and also myths
oh pyramids, endless feasts, opulent *****
a carnival, a masquerade,  a crowning time
or if the gods are willing, to favor her
the ship will wreck, and when she wakes
a mermaids voice, a fairies glance
or encountering a fallen angel
a lost soul, will be the one
and final quest she experiences.

— The End —
