the girls look right through me
I breeze past these halls
the boys like to stare
these narrow endless walls

I don't have a thought
past what's for dinner
for this outgoing girl
sure doesn't have that in her

but what people don't see
the depths of the oceans
deep in her mind
it kills her to go through the motions

it feels good to be pretty
but that's all she is
you need to act perfect
or you'll never be his

makeup will cover
hair can be taimed
but when your heart starts to flutter
the knife is already aimed

for the face you put on
is that what you become
he sees you as nothing more
than a doll too dumb

He is bald
Plain to my eyes
Sublime in local geniality

The garden he claims
Taimed in distress
Of the coming winter

I fear the tears
Sudden regret
For his' long forgotten trials

Forced to steep so low
Forward but below
Entrenched in sweet tasting anguish

His' body hard and unmotivated
The Sculpture of obsession
Must be completed with stubborn muscle

I seem to torment him
My love becoming
A betrayal of our lust

Battles commence
Volcanic eruptions
Shake the house of ruin

He never seems to trust me
My compassionate actions
Bring forth pork chops

The meal
Is shared
Beside each other

Without Sight
We fight against
White picket fences

All it took was one second...

One second for an entire eternity to pass.

Thousands of thoughts flashed through my mind... then it happened.

One gaze... one deep look into the abyss was all it took to freeze time.

I thought I had the strength of one thousand men, but one gaze was all it took to shatter my walls.

One gaze... stopped my rampant thoughts.

With my heart in my throat and my chest clenching with life... i saw you.

Your past, present, and future.

I saw your happiness... your pain.

I saw you...

I saw beauty marred by ugly souls and malevolent energy.

I felt an energy as strong as my own...

As rich as the purest chocolate.

I felt you...

My soul hummed and sang with the ferocity of one thousand church choirs.

Never has it been in the presence of such... grace and beauty.

One gaze... into those bright eyes...

One gaze... was enough to make me wanna bow at your feet.

One gaze... was enough to make me wanna have you bow at mine.

Made me wanna give myself completely to you, and to take you all for myself.

One gaze... into those bright eyes...

Made me wanna moan and sing.

**** near made me believe in god...

Jacory... your name rolled across my mind like the wind over a field of sunflowers.

Those bright eyes... that beautiful smile.

God you are perfection...

One gaze... one smile... one eternity.

One look into those bright eyes.

Those bright eyes that contain so much... so much promise... so much joy... so much... pain...

In one second... i knew... i felt it

One second... was all it took for me to be claimed... for this bull to stop in his tracks...

To be taimed...

Those bright eyes...
