Be Still

As the storm crashes over us,

And the winds above howl obscenities

Be still.

Be still.

As the world crases down on us

And the we fall beneath the waters deep

Be still.

Be still.

Be still for they cannot harm you,

Be still for they will not touch

They are thoughts only meant to scare

They are sounds only meant to hide

What you feel inside.

Be still.

While up above all is rendered to ash

And the stars are darkened

Be still.

Be still.

When the sun is gone down

And the moon too has faded into the sea

Be still.

Be still.

Be still for the dark won't harm you

Be still for it will only cradle

You in its arms and rock you quietly to sleep

And in the morning you will wake and there the light will shine.

But be still now,

Be still now and revel in the darkness this night brings,

Be still.

Wait Not For Me

Wait not for me

If the darkness falls

Do not tarry here for long.

Wait not for me

When dawn is come

But pass into the world beyond.

A whisper

In the wind that flows

And follows

The river to the sea.

A mystery.

Unknown song

Carried far from here

You are gone

Too far away to see

Wait not for me.

Wait not for me

If the darkness falls

Do not tarry here for long.

Wait not for me

When dawn is come

But pass into the world beyond.

Poem

So roses are red and violets are blue

But what do they matter when I know it’s true?

And daffodils grow and leaves are green,

Why point it out when it’s clearly seen?

Those clouds can rain and the stars align,

But I know that in your hands my heart will shine,

So roses can stay red and violets blue

But no poem can say how much I love you.

One of the Roses

So you have found the way through to cold verity,

You search for how to kill it in its cradle,

Hidden from eyes the iced clarity.

And when the road is ended will you still run?

A wandering fool throughout the rest of time,

It will still be a ghost you'll have become.

Your memory will not last but fade away,

Vanishing into the vast pool of Forget,

Where your thoughts will now always stay.

Say you'll never break away or fall apart

Lost forever in this darkest dream of mine

This sweet nightmare of my longing heart.

Smoke

Amber dripping soft velvet,
Reminders of silk as it tipples into the glass.
It's the taste of memory that stirs itself up,
An insomniac's hazard.
The faintest lingering of cigarette smoke,
Ephemeral,
                   like sleep tonight.
Curling tighter beneath warmth,
Banishing thoughts to the backdrop of breath,
Curing the sleepless.
The faintest lingering of cigarette smoke,
Ephemeral,
                  perpetual.
