Casting shadows,
long way
across the room.
The reflected photo eyes
in time
sing those whispers of June.
And us lonely, we know
what two can behold
is sometimes half,
not double.
Whispered lightly, upon thee
the meeting
turned from fantasy,
all anxious-
and so declared.
Hark, hear the breath
of the mind, now at rest
that thought unique of you.
See some eyes,
as they see something true.
Blue roses got me holding on,
to what I hardly know.
Kiss ignited, this psychotic episode.
Hoping for more time,
while hopeless. he goes
out into life.
Keep that chin up,
the constant advice.
In the morning,
far too early,
she flees the scene.
Under cover,
almost unseen.
And grand be the take back,
expected to fit
a bit of your mind,
a bit of your heart.
Tied to the story,
some damned soul might tell.
Blue roses got me holding on,
to what I hardly know.
Kiss ignited, this psychotic episode.
Hoping for more time,
while hopeless. he goes
out into life.
Keep that chin up,
the constant advice.

Stare too long,
and it might stare back
and half the damn universe
couldn't bring me back,
to the love you done retracted
the mighty, dead and gone.
And I'm all alone.
Go on tremble,
go on, scream
it only adds to these insecurities.
Can't you see I do all justice?
I can see you don't believe,
in me.
Built you idols,
I worship
the time and space you drift on
in eternity.
I would make the cosmos crumble
if you'd only speak to me,
darling.
With all this power
slowly, I see
all the betrayl
but was it you
or was it me?
Yet, since I'll never have
I'll make nothing ever be,
believe you me

Maybe he'll sleep past sunrise.
Fail internal, outside.
Maybe he's just gonna die here today.
Behold, the soul menagerie.
Broke down so elegantly.
All alone for no one to see.
Drowning idly by in thoughts and prayers.
Paradise all around and unaware.
Slave trade of dogma.
Thoughts made in spite of
all the change that we'll never be.
Prophesize some landing.
Daydream dope, entrancing.
Oh, the screen's still warm as we sleep.
Drowning helplessly in thoughts and prayers.
Damned all around and no cares.
Don't dare believe in something.
All this nothing we've always been.
Sounds sweet, don't trust it.
Please, leave it.
It's better off dead.
Hear them echo down the hall.
You've heard one, you've heard them all.
Still safe where filtered seen.
This one says of that thing
That one said some something.
On and on, though fruitless it be.
Drowning idly by in thoughts and prayers.
Paradise all around and no one cares.
Don't dare believe in something.
All this nothing we've always been.
Sounds sweet, don't trust it.
Please, leave it.
It's better off dead.

Damn near disaster
this poet, he shambles
as done for all his life.
Making madness,
out of all this strife.
Maybe she's searching
she can't say for certain
but to find something
might be divine,
or something like.
Don't move too quickly,
the morning comes here slow.
Dream a while,
and then we'll go.
Apologies, anxious
he be, as she tells him
that worry be wasted here.
It's just life, nothing to fear.
Oh, the wonder of wide eyes,
the cold that just don't bite,
the way it does back home.
Might be lucky,
to some Nordic mythos.
Though tender be breathing,
resilient she's seeing
and does just as she please.
And so,
he keeps her company.
Don't move too quickly,
the morning comes here slow.
Dream a while,
and then we'll go.
Apologies, anxious
he be, as she tells him
that worry be wasted here.
It's just life, nothing to fear.
Flash, and it's all gone,
the plane she must get on,
and the day, he's left to think.
While what lingers,
gets burned into ink.
Again, they might see
each other and be
the stuff of poet's talk.
But if not,
it was well worth a shot.
Don't move too quickly,
the morning comes here slow.
Dream a while,
and then we'll go.
Apologies, anxious
he be, as she tells him
that worry be wasted here.
It's just life, nothing to fear.
