such a good song.
melancholy in the most beautiful way.
for nikki,
You always said before we fell asleep,
If you could fly you would fly forever,
And never come down, and always believe
In yourself and count on the good weather.
You assured me that you would be close by,
That you’d only ever be in one single place
And if I missed you to just look into the blue, blue sky,
And to think of your smiling face.
i’m on FIRE
Things have so changed dear,
The seasons pass and make years,
And the autumns we once loved
Have flown to winters, white as doves.
The snow falls as it always has
But it now melts to rain, so it pours,
And the ice slowly leaves the paths
Leading to our now separate doors.
The sun brings its golden light,
And summer brings with it new life
But it brings nothing for you and me.
And the sky’s tears pool at my feet.
hm.
poem.
i wrote it.
or did i?
Our hopes lie forgotten like heroes
Too modest to be remembered.
Tears flow and our thoughts always go
Out to those who are lost forever.
Streetlights glow as imitations of stars,
And the asphalt reflects the secondhand rays,
And the real stars shine on a planet better than ours,
For our irreverence and always forgetful ways.
The violets and golds shimmer in a sky
That seems almost transparent
And slowly evaporates with the sun’s rise,
Just like us and the heavens are left barren.
old one
so tired.
We’re at the point where the sun
Looks like the wax seal on
The envelope that is the sea and sky
Meeting to form the horizon.
And the letter in that envelope,
Is something we’ve been trying to read
For years, and we’ve started to lose hope.
And it’s worse when it’s something you can see
But can’t reach.
On this pastel colored evening,
And everything is bright but it blends,
And everyone does the same dreaming
The earth to the night, to each other they lend.
And the sun drops out of sight
Below the sea line, hopefully to return,
But it never promised, or gave us the right
To expect it’s light to come back in turn.
And every single night is begun like this,
I’m filled with doubt about the coming dawn,
The light dulls the sky and I don’t know where the moon is.
The stars follow the dark in their mutual attraction.
And as the trails of their light chase each other around,
The sun makes its triumphant return only to find
No one’s awoken, they’re all asleep in all their towns.
But it’s how things go and it seems I’m the only one who pays mind.
The sun has learned how to hide itself from the world,
Behind the clouds, away from the closed windows,
A glance at the sky shows a cloud brighter for sure,
But no one takes notice and no one follows.
The sun whispers to me,
“When will people realize the work I do,
Never stopping, trying to please?”
I say, “People acknowledge you,
But for the wrong reasons.”
have you ever listened to a band with melodies so compelling that you hear words that are never spoken?
it’s almost as if i can feel what they felt as they played the music.
i love explosions in the sky.
it’s like they don’t write songs, they just commit feelings to tracks.
sigh.
beautiful sounds.
The day drags itself to a close,
And I slide out of my clothes,
To slide into bed and it seems
My life consists of waiting to dream.
The songs I hear are laced with fear
And wound with sorrow.
The scenes I see are painfully clear
In that they will end by tomorrow,
But for the hours I sleep,
You are here, with me,
And in the daylight and sun
I only ever watch the minutes run.
It seems so strange
I feel most at home
When I am unconscious and alone.
too tired for proper introduction.
not my best work.
The night is so dark and it seems,
That it is only without light we dream,
And my heart always breaks with the day
When the sun comes and chases sleep away.
The sun with all its warmth and shining
Is bright and it is blinding.
The stars flee from their places in the sky
And run with the moon to hide.
And I feel as if I know why,
They must know the same fear as I,
In the day’s light we can see,
But we see too much, and are removed from mystery.
So in the night there is romance
And in dark corners we kiss and we dance.
And in the day there is only light,
And in light there is no depth in life.
