Who asked you to come here
Who thought it'd be fun
In this land of practical misery
Where Nicholas drowned
And Lucy went blind
And Rita's lucky just to sell her tears

Whose idea was it
To give you new life
In Theresa's garden
Where flowers sprout rotten

Then pick you
And let you drift
In Christopher's moody winds

Peter would lend you a home
But he dropped his keys somewhere
Then went to get a drink with Jude

Did they mean to make you cry
Or wanted to see the world burn?

Yet there are those sinners among us
Who question it all
And think just maybe
They knew what they were doing
When Lazarus died for good

It could be
That it was all on purpose
That you were on purpose
Necessary even
Our very own
Patron Saint of Second Chances

Allow me to be a tourist in your head and I'll repay you with the greatest travel book my pen allows.
Zelda Morgan Nov 2015
My biggest former wish,
I must tell you,

When I was just a little wheel
I spinned in hope of one circle taking me
To one like you.
I'm close.
You're close too.
We're almost there.
We're there.
And now I get too see
That you too are just a little wheel
A part of me is stuck in you
A part of you is stuck in me
But we cannot stop
For when our love rusts
So will we
And we must keep spinning

I must tell you,
My dearest future memory
Zelda Morgan Nov 2015
The poem of madness
I woke up to write
Your smile above the sadness
Just a bit too bright

The painting of flower beds
Getting smashed beneath a reckless shoe
That time you tore to shreds
Everything I thought I knew

The song of a trumpet choir
As if proclaiming a sin
Turns as softly as young fire
To a lullaby followed by a violin

I'm far from the smartest
Beneath your mysterious heart
I may be a natural artist
But you're the natural art
Zelda Morgan May 2015
You are a piece of paper at the bottom of the sea. You crumble in hands. From them, your pieces float in even greater depths. In our air you lose your breath, forever unread.
You are a dream slipping through the fingers of my awakened mind. You leave, disappear, come back only as as inexplicably familiar scene, an unusual word, a weird movement, proof that you once reigned, all shadows and reflections, molds of a long gone foundation.
You are a melody whose notes I cannot write, but only hope they fade away as slow as possible.
You are my unimaginable, unfathomable, inconsistent.
If i were a scientist, you'd be my famous discovery. If i were a philosopher, you'd be the purpose I seek.
But I am an artist. So you will remain my inspiration, my everlasting persistence, my spasm and my movement, a hope for my best piece. And they say those are never finished.
Very simply, or most complicated, you are, and forever will be, my noise of the sun.
Zelda Morgan Jan 2015
As far as I'm concerned
Night and Day play hide and seek
To make it interesting for you

The sky is blue cause that's your favorite color
Fires burn to keep you hot
Rains fall so you'd glow

Trees grow for you to have
something to read beneath
Things happen for you to have
something to read about

***** the sun
And all the stars beyond it
It's not around them
It's not about them
It's not them
It's you

The universe is yours
If it were mine
I'd give it to you in a heartbeat

For my heart beats
So you'd have something
to dance to

Blessed by a curse
The devil chose me as his bride
His claim for me perverse
My shame banished by a ***** tide

They say I've got fifth ace up my sleeve
But it cannot be, for I am bare
Lying, waiting, dying to receive
The most exquisite nightmare

I paint my lips with his bane
His seed of pitch black dread
My master and I will reign
And prove the blood is indeed red

I've misplaced my last thought to resist
As my yearning grew to strong
Taste me, master, I insist
You'll find I taste so wrong
