I miss the you that was
the better part of us
and had the smile
that made me blush
and the lips that could bring
any moment to a quite hush
before the hours mixed
with love and lust
and the eyes that saw through
the infinte depth
of blindness within my own
and the floral scents
and magic that lingered
between the strands of your hair
and the soft scars my fingers
traced along your back
and the longing sounds
once heard in your voice
and the days we spent
hiding beneath sheets
from the sun
and the nights we ran
naked under the stars and moon
and I miss everything
that was only beautiful
because of you

I look at you like
You put the stars in the sky

When you drink its as if
You tear them all down and
Right before my eyes

You change

Goodnight to all, it's time to die,
I'm going to join the stars in the sky,
you'll see me if you truly stare,
even when the skies are bare.
Just think of me, and I'll be there.

Bring me home and don't cry for me,
I was the weakest branch in the family tree,
and it's time for new life to grow,
you'll feel my arms in the wind's blow,
yes you must know, it's hard to go.

We did laugh, we did cry,
we gave each day our best try,
but as the moon relieves the sun,
everyone has their time come.

Farewell to the girl I love,
you made my life all I ever dreamed of,
and within you I found my home,
you made darkness gold and sadness chrome,
but now it's time for my soul to roam.

But we did love, we did live,
we gave eachother all we could give,
but as the moon relieves the sun,
death makes exceptions for no one.

Goodbye to all, return me to the earth,
to the planet that gave me birth,
you'll feel me in all of the seas,
you'll find me in every tree's leaves,
so you see for me; you need not grieve.

We did laugh, we did cry,
now it's time for my goodbye,
but as the moon relieves the sun,
it seems my time is finally done.

We did live and we did more,
but there's no chance for an encore,
'cause as the moon relieves the sun,
mortality's a battle never won.

you
threw me into the waves
and made me thank you
for pulling me out
before i drowned.

my soul is
wandering
and i am
wondering
if it is
wandering
in search of you or
wondering
about the idea of you

Nature Blue
The most delicate form of beauty
plucked from a metaphor
a simile for beauty
made from the softest fibers of earth
the eyelashes of the mother herself
positioned to perfection
framing the faces of flowers of every stem
the petals turn to look at me
and I dust their existence onto my cheeks
flower
Time linked to space
a concept magnificent and grand.

Who could clasp the hand of its creator
and grasp the significance of the
Heavenly hand waiter
and then tie it neatly into a bow?

Oh....
how beautiful the sky seems now
when I finally think I understand how
it works.

All of my life spent in fruitless endeavour
and in thinking myself so stunningly clever,
but in reality..
I never saw the quality
of the beauty growing all around me,
In opening my eyes
I see in all of its Majesty..

Countless tombstones lined up
  like shark teeth
Waiting for the next generation
  to march into their graves
Helmets waiting
  for heads waiting
    for their bullet holes
Dying in the same clothes
  as their father
    and their father
      before them
Because everyone
  loves a corpse
      in uniform
Left,
  Left,
   Left right left
The endless
   mobius strip
        of war
