Cosmic Perplexity

I cannot fathom why,
out of all the stars in the sky,
it had to be mine,
that lost all its shine.

I cannot fathom how far,
chasing after a shooting star,
the light-years it would take,
before I would finally break.

I cannot fathom why,
as high as I might fly,
across galaxies,
into Aries,
over balconies,
as far as I might fly,
I cannot fathom why.

Perishable

Imagine, for a moment, if people were refrigerators,
And all our insides were like the insides of a refrigerator.

But instead of milk we had a carton of kindness
And instead of orange juice we had a gallon of silliness.

And our eggs were promises,
Yours to keep,
Or yours to break.

Imagine, for a moment, if people were refrigerators,
And that we could go to the grocery store and buy what we wanted to be.

We would buy honeydew for sweetness
and perhaps some pomegranate for vigor,
let's not forget a mango for exoticism.

But don't buy any lemons
for God's sake, don't but any lemons.

Imagine, for a moment, if people were refrigerators,
and imagine for a moment, if the power went out.

Imagine all the things that would go bad,
Imagine how we'd all rot on the inside.

Now remember that people aren't refrigerators,
and remember what happens

when the light goes out.

Infinate Winter

It's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

and you

and you

and him

just hold me tight and don't let go

too late, i'm here under thirty feet of snow

this frosted dream it could not last

now i'm packed in the frozen past

year's end is coming nearer now

and i don't know how

i'll find it

i know it will melt come noon

but that's far too soon

the ice caps will always be cold

maybe i'll go there

must winter end it feels so right

the nippy mornings and freezing nights

as long as i have my sleigh

i'll be fine, sweetheart, don't come looking

The Father

Fairness is but a cliche that can

never be attained in a world like this society

I fear

the little voices in my head are growing stronger as the others weaken

feeble strings of what used to be

my stupidity has gained me nothing but everything

I regret

Solar Flares cannot compare to frustration

every turn is wrong and soon I am

in circles

Why the saltwater comes so easily I don't understand

My strength is overestimated

brutishly i ram the mirrors

ow

that.

hurt.

my throat still contains the stone so deadly

i cannot swallow my pride because there

is none

in this wretched house you prey on your spawn

lucky she can't bite back

but soon, and it will be the demise of a once loved

This Creature.

Don't flirt with this danger

she bites

with spires pierce the

mind and heart

this creature she

purrs like growling

growls like purring

this creature, patient for prey

for day after day

finally,

she pounces.

this creature it's soft it's viscous

tame and wild

cannot be caged

the beautiful but deadly-

...

Welcome

Welcome, welcome

readers of beyond

Listen listen,

loud and clear I speak my mind

I clear

The roses are listening

these words don't bite

so please, Reader Dear, welcome

home.
