Your hand is extended, but then you rescind
And you, like my thoughts, escape with the wind
Throughout existence, there’s been a handful of times
We get rediscovered, come rain or come shine
A locket of hair, falls to the ground
I hear a faint scream, but the echo is loud
And just when I thought that no one was around
You surprise, you reveal, you shock, and astound

You are a flower
Far too beautiful for me to pluck
I will come to your site everyday
Just to adore your sight
I'll leave you in your natural habitat
I cherish you
But I won't be selfish
I'll leave you for others to behold also
Utmostly, I want what's best for you

I stared at him naked,  
after he let me read every page.
He was exposed, I was elated
the beast was finally let out of its cage.
I learned a disturbing fact that day
his dresser was where he kept his soul.
I saw him open a drawer and put it away
and I saw his eyes go cold.
Then he laughed at me and winked
and claimed he had everything under control.

My old blue veins
are a map to a lover
bleeding past stains
still left to discover.
Tomorrow never comes.
I am yesterday's news.
We were the only ones.
I sing yesterday's blues.
I drink the bitter wine
I cry such bitter tears
for lost chances in time,
but laughed for years!

Brilliance of liquid gold
Speckled with glitter and stars
Arresting the celestial plafond
A touch of Neanderthal aesthetics
Modern and ancient air
Fusing under the beauteous sky
