annecy
day one and your sweet lullaby is hanging in the air;
a melodic voice of strings that symphonise even lovers of despair
day two and a slight shard of you glows and gives us below hope,
and read a story of passion - to tick the time that always grows.
day three and all our fingers at all could not wait,
and tap ever so lightly on the walls until cracks fall to slates.
day four and we convince ourselves we're almost halfway there,
the rising sun has no matter but the calender hanging on tapes.
day five, we're halfway, and I crook half a smile-
a smile that knows of all the shivers not further than a mile
day 6 and we count our toes in focus of our minds
that swirl to all the thoughts that overlap yet fill our hearts.
day 7 and it almost seems that we're a second away,
we hurriedly read the lines of the chapter to flip to the next page.
day 8 and all clocks stop, but why doesn't the world?
*because the day must go on
and your voice that i long for,
is no more a sorrow bird.

The stars are farther away tonight

You asked me what I am
I said I am a human

But if you would have dug deeper
Into your dusty brain
And asked a better question
One that wasn't lame

If your lips had posed the question
Who are you?
I would have started with the simple
I am a girl of the female sort
I love to fly it is my favorite sport
If you knew my past
And how long my loves last
You would wonder how
The stars contained such majesty

But you didn't
So you think that I am just **me

I'm so sick of honesty
I just want to lie here and be me
Cause the only thing I want to be
Is the thing that makes me happy
And I know that I can't be that thing
But, hell I'll keep trying
This isn't my last scene
I've got another act to go
But you're saying cut and I listen
As I’m about to, you yell no
Like which one is it?
Am I doing what’s right or what isn’t?
What I want or what you’ve written?
Well too late, what’s done is done
But you’re yelling at me for things I’ve not done
I'm a dead-shot with my words
But yours shot me dead you see
Cause I'm not missing you
And you're not missing me
Are you demon or human my friend?
and how can you say one or the other?
Just because you look like what is taken to be human
doesn’t really explain what is going on inside of you.

If you can honestly say that without any doubt
you are definitely human then prove your case!
Do you in fact submit to any Divine Authority
and acknowledge an Almighty Supreme Being?

Are you in fear and awe of a power greater than your own
that can without any effort show you the extent to which
It holds everything in place that we see and take for granted
by the sheer might of Its own Infinite and Eternal Existence?

Do you love and think kindly towards your fellow human beings
and try to be of help and service to those who are in need even
to the extent of depriving yourself of time, money and resources
that you would normally spend or use for your own personal welfare?

Do you ever hold or regard anything to be sacred and fit for worship
in particular what has been ordained through scripture to be of God?
Do you in fact cherish all of life and do not seek to harm any creature
or living thing as much as possible by feeling or showing compassion?

Would you consider or put your own life at risk in a situation to help
where the safety or life of anybody else is in danger or harms way?
Or do you fret, curse and swear over the smallest thing that goes wrong
each day when something unexpected happens that isn’t to your liking?

Do you lie, cheat and steal in any way when dealing with other people
especially where the matter is to your own disadvatage or possible loss?
Do you covet or pursue that which isn’t lawful or forbidden to have
for the sake of your own personal self gratification, greed and lust?

It would be really good to know whether you are demon or human
so that you can perhaps honestly say you’re not even in possesion;
by some demonic spirit that has got the better or should I say worse of you
and that whatever you may say or do is in accordance with what is TRUE.
