i asked for a gift for myself
from myself
you gave a gift to yourself
yourself
and keep asking me if i wanted to play
and she sits by the table waiting
for a pick up
not a dress-up
it'll blow up
and the tarnished ruins
haunt her within

the hole in her heart
is too big to mend
the ache in her head
is too much pain
just like when roses perish
beneath the blanket of snow
and sun smiles too much
which lets them feel it
and burn them
roses, no more

hopeful they'll remain, when their ancestors face again
and you and i, will sit somewhere nicer
than the underseat of your bedroom
sitting in the kitchen waiting for maids to clean your room

and the secret new girl, who's hidden from my world
she's disguised my point of view
and teachers preach, it's out of reach
the same soul returns to haunt another
change your views
the same soul tries to revive you more
only to sought

a truth among you hides in vain
hidden from sight, on the pane
the heart that searches for its mate
won't find it without gates
normal people search high and low
for a bush that would seem for show
their love tarnished for they know now
that the fairer are those who turn brows

Listen! let's all hold our tongues
for a moment
the clock will stop if we do
our pens motionless above the page
qwertyuiop keybords rest untouched

still also our minds
no judgement on what's left to hear
voice of the universe OM
vibrating from toes to crown
weaving 'round and through us

connecting all living things
with earth's foundations
oceans and rocks
Listen! can you hear it?
it's a song like the introduction
from original Star Trek
taking us where we've never been before

Have I done this?
Have I done that?
Wait.
I forgot to do something.
PANIC.

Every day,
You do the same,
Follow a list,
And give it a name.
We all do it,
Even me,
I try to rhyme,
As you can see.
But what if we all
Made a change?
Did something random?
Tried to rearrange?
What if I choose
Not to rhyme?
Would that be better?
Worth my time?

Let's give it a shot.

So randomness.
How shall I do it?
Find the answer?
And then the question?
Bananas are cool.
Goodbye sirs and madams.
Hi there!
Fly away!
Eat a snail!
Catch a fish!
What's your favourite fruit?
I'm on the ceiling!
I'm underground!
Have we started?
Nearly done.
Qwertyuiop.
Asdfghjkl.
Zxcvbnm.
The contents of my keyboard.
And that is all.

Hmm.
I think I'll keep my list.
Because that was exhausting.
And the order I missed.
