She's perfect
she's flawless
she radiates light
she's faultless
she's matchless
she's purified sight
unmatched beauty
and a conscience so clear
why would heaven have a place for her here?

Earth is like heaven where she will rot and dwell
*an angel like her is destined for hell.

I'm just sad, that's all
too sad to fall
asleep at night
to take a flight
to see a dream
my sadness seems
the pinnacle of my
unmade bed
my restless head
when all is said
and all is done
perhaps I'll run
away again
back to my sleepless sorrow
until tomorrow
my old friend

You're a tree
you're a beautiful mahogany tree
you can wave your branches when the wind allows you
you can shed your leaves and grow some more
you can breathe your love to those who surround you
but rest assured
they'll cut you down

Now you're a human
you're a beautiful human being
you can wave your hands when society allows you
you can change yourself into something more
you can share your love to those who surround you
but those people
*they'll still tear you down.

Suggest I peruse the science of love
experiment, manipulate and spoil
Suggest I strap wires to your heart
and monitor its beat

Suggest I study your eyes
will your pupils act as a looking glass
and will I see me in your rose tinted iris'?

Suggest I swab your hands
to see who has had the privilege to hold them
who isn't me

Suggest I test your lips
for a tongue that has lingered long enough
to be considered concern to me

Suggest I peruse the science of love
would my conclusion be worthwhile?

Or, suggest I not tamper with the nature of attraction
'Tout ce qui sera sera'
love me in the fate of the heart
or indeed
do not love me at all

He was a river
he was my river
he was the depth of the sea and the beauty of the coral ocean
he was one who ran free
free, free and polluted was he
a shivering wreck drowning in the water
but he was my river
my raindrop
my globe
and he was clear enough for me

Wrap you in the hands of a willow tree
bathe you in the salts of the coldest sea
take this piece of gold
marry me

You will have commitment
I will hold your bones with me
I will make a pact to thee
steal the stars for you to see
in your lonely slumber
marry me

Paint with the dust of the crescent moon
dance in the sun in the days of June
sleep in the peace of a winter noon
lose your mind
and marry me
