oh, i hope you know i'll love you anyway

I lie here, contentedly, contemplating sticks and stones and the speck of existence that I have always been.
And noticing that it is only my own opinion of my own life that really matters. I can't live based on the approval of others...
Only myself, in this short blink called "life."

said i wished i were frank, you asked if i'd be ok with jim or sally
and you never got it, no, you never caught on
just watched as your lips parted, i saw your insides
and those beautiful teeth
told me not to get too beautiful, frowned when i laughed
wind screaming for the sounds neither of us could ever make and you never listened, no, you never heard me when i
said you were what hearts were made of, you beautiful little fucker
never thought you'd love me past my skin flinched between finch feathers when

He grew up enchanted - a magic man whose music kept the world awake and made the stars quake like tiny children plucked from bed. He was a stranger in a stranger land, who walked on water while we slept; and when the children wept, he made colors with his eyes and stitched the skies like quilts of eiderdown - patches of blue and violet, featherweight and coarse like tufts of peacocks and hung them up behind the clouds and set orbs like spangled berries to keep heaven company, hoping the moon's sly glo

Sometimes I creep out of bed in the middle of the night, sit on the windowsill and stare at the moon. And all I could think about is you.

I want you to know that even when I'm completely asphyxiated;
Drowning in my thoughts and choking up all my hopes and dreams,
Your kiss of life wouldn't be able to save me.
Even when the world doesn't seem to have any type of color variation,
When the world seems so abbreviated and abnormal,
Only adorned by the color of your eyes, I would still be able to distinguish between
light and day, between sunset and dawn.

Even

Useless you are - And so am I Your heart is far, High in the sky. Breathe the cold air of your coffin : Here, finally, you will begin. Although you cannot see The truth in front of thee, When I look in your eyes I can hear all your cries:
"My love is gone And now, destroyed. Oh, please, come on! 'Cause I enjoyed Those sweet moments I spent with you. But now you're cold, and I am too."
Although you cannot see The truth in front of thee, When I look in your eyes I can hear all your cries:
"Beloved body &nb

I didn't love you through the month, like they thought I would, stopped short on the 24th in soaking jeans and phoned an ambulance because everything was too quiet in late November mist.
We watched horror movies together in October to forget that your brother had died and wound ourselves around a bottle of good wine, and you insisted your eyes would stay clean though your teeth turned purple
before a glass was up.

At a wedding in September we made love in the back of your mother's old van and you pulled me into the wheel well, my ba

i ate lemon cake for breakfast today, well actually it wasn't lemon it was vanilla. not that it really matters what flavour the cake was, only the cake itself mattered. it would be like saying you had jam on toast then freaking out over whether it was strawberry or raspberry. its like having a bad trip on acid, but what's a good trip? if its not losing all of your money gambling over a peanut butter sandwich, when you don't even like peanut butter. or losing your virginity in the back of a limo, to 'wonderwall' by oasis. if its not all of that then, no, i've never had a good trip.

but hey, maybe that's just me.

i'm

these angels, and demons that haunt me, i was never meant to live like this death that we call life.
life's just a
fading, memory, solitary melody, are we are forgotten
too?
i think my thawed heart is almost strong enough to say hello, followed by goodbyes.
life's just a
fading, memory, solitary, melody, are we are forgotten
too?
i'm stealing sun- shine from everyday you're still breathing, why are we
still sleeping?
life's just a
fading, memo

I.
Let's write indignant words, On wings of royal birds. (noble, gracious birds)
II. Majestically they lie, To all their passersby,
And chirp a hundred songs,
To help them move along.
III. Angry, vicious words,
Of pain we have endured,
And voices we have lost.

IV.
These birds will never know,
The words we wrote and so, They'll spread their wings across,
And passersby will watch.

V.
Their lies will be exposed,
And little do they know,
The words we wrote and so,
We'll sprea

all i want to do is hold you tight but you seem to want so much more than that.
i want your lips on mine i want your hand in mine i want to believe.
believing is so hard now-a-days when everything just seem to represent nothing at all.
God is outside my door taking a drag off of his last cigarette, wishing he could save the world.
it's too late now. the world is crumbling down around me and all i can feel is numb.
all i can do is take hit after hit

fingernails on chalkboards would fail to reach my ears as i lay gazing in your eyes and though weve known each other for so many years you still give me butterflies
'cause im afraid that i might make a fool of myself though i feel so at home when im by your side and id know youd seen my fumbling
when youd giggle silently and pretend you didnt notice that you give me butterflies
our fingers hold together, just like crawling vines they fit perfectly like Legos and while theyre merged, i seem to lose track of the time and even forget to let go
'ca

'She sits upon a windowsill Silent humming, sleeping still Fallen leaves of life and death Come to steal her final breath
And still humming ever still She sits upon her windowsill Eyes still dark like frozen sky The raven girl refused to fly...'

And they say happily ever afters never happen in real life That love is just a fantasy and just a waste of time But you and I are dreamers with so much more to find So don't tell us that we'll never make it
And they say that glass slippers and god mothers don't exist But you and I believe in pumpkins and golden carriages And this fairy tale story is coming down to this So don't tell me Im mistaken
The ticking of the clock Carved a rhythm in my mind (It struck twelve)... Even though it was in clear view My heart was hard to find (It was easy to tell) &n

You're thinking too much You're going to think your way to death Instead, do for the time being Do things not so dangerous as thinking Thinking requires knowledge to understand how to use the thoughts in order to acquire wisdom Don't make it too complicated because you'll miss the beauty Don't base your worth off of what another says because they're only human too even if they don't want you to think that

"Hunted"

I dash through shifting dusk... relentless gusts halt me against my will
in mid-crossing of a wide city street-
hunted game leaning into and wavering from each blast, determined
to keep my feet planted as wax jitters in my ears,
fighting vertigo,
knowing any second the wind will up-end me, to be at its mercy or lack of from its
sadistic wordplay and deafening howl, keeping me off-center in the encroaching darkness thick with broken shale-
as the hind muscles burn &n

only a few seconds
and already im breathless only a few seconds
and already my hearts beating faster
only a few seconds
and already i am in love
only a few seconds
and beyond doubt
i am yours

i.
to the wind:

i don't know who you are. all i know is that you smell like red firewood in the fall, sundrops and perfume in the spring. all i know is that you can place a hand on just my shoulder and it will feel as though you are completely holding me.
where are you going?
i don't know that either, and i don't expect you to tell me. you confuse even the weather vane, don't you know? you situate it to the north, spin it over to the south, come back later to direct it at the east, then at the west for just a moment. the weather vane is dizzy, don't you know? the iron rooster that pre
