In the Night I see her, an angel of stone
and feather casting a pale illumination
over my grave, upon her cheek tears linger
a vulnerable stain, how I wish I could kiss
them away and taste their poetry calligraphing
a wish, just one absent-minded wish to be
loved, over her impenetrable nude she wears
a weave of spiderwebs, I see the nightmares
that hide in their gossamer folds, beckoning
the Dark's many collectibles into her shade,
but her soul is wet with secrets, her eyes
are hollowed out by deja vus, her lips bleed
from being too tightly sewn shut, but oh how
I want to love her quietly-silent and spectral
-how my groin aches
It seems that everyone grows up to be beautiful.
But what are we now, then?
Are we just shards of glass hanging in the wind, waiting for the light to shine through?
Or are we really waiting at all?
What if we're just sitting here, trying to remember what it was that we were brought here to do.
As though we had a reason for being here, this very moment.
Yes, even you who sits here alongside me wasting time dilly-dallying and singing tunes that have no end.
What if the reason we're here right now cannot be put into words, but can only be felt?
Like the warm breath of air that escapes the clutches of the sun as it furrows the tired grass
The last dream you ever have
Is supposed to be the best,
Because that's where you stay.
Your spirit never emerged
From this dream,
Only your body did.
As soon as your vessel
Lost its remaining life,
The dream became real.
The dream became you.
Whether in it was a field,
Or an ocean,
Or perhaps even home,
It will be where you dreamed.
A moment of joy,
Because sorrow
Can never enter into this.
You're still home, as you were.
Maybe you'll visit me in my dreams,
And though I awaken every morning,
I'll know that it wasn't just a dream
For you.
Near the end,
Towards the dark
Closer to the beginning,
Where we hide,
In the darkness,
Don't choose this side
You give me not choice,
You give yourself no life
I want this,
At least the first,
But not the second,
The one you choose more
I cant give you up,
You are my light,
My soul,
My heart,
You are my life now
When your virgin heart's been bitten
by a love that makes you burn,
with a voice from deep within
you sing your bliss without concern.
Once burned, twice shy,
afraid that love is just a lie.
You let your bleeding heart drip dry
and give it all another try.
A poet is a liar with a silver tongue pen, and a bleeding heart on the other end.
We are anagrams and metaphors and sphinxes in sheep skin.
Every letter is an actor that we send into the wind,
And we're only as good as the words you believe in.
