BattleCry (actually I wanted to title this “fuck you, those oppressors” but I thought that was in bad taste)

Please remember this

The haughtiest those

That declare that

They are beyond

Reproach and need

Your voice are

By far weakest

They need you

You don’t need

Them be strong

Be true know

Your self only

Ever chase that

Never pander never

Settle and never

Give in because

There’s something grander

Than you waiting

For you there

Mirror (for Egon)

I think that

Everything seen in

A mirror dislikes

It’s own reflection

But when one

Sees two things

Not being one

Of those one

Sees far more

Of that one

Than that one

Will ever ever

See of itself

OhThatKiss (for Jackson)

Once in forever

Something is struck

Breeze on chime

Hammer on anvil

Pressure on coal

Asteroid on planet

And something happens

That’s so cataclysmic

That’s so defining

That it changes

Absolutely everything else

That’s what I

Felt when you

Shared your story

About that kiss

Oh that kiss

That one kiss

That kiss that

Did redefine everything

ThatLastNight

And on my

Own quiet reflection

In the backyard

Of my life

I hear winds

Of my past

Blowing through willows

All my expectations

Moving but never

Staying for long

But there in

The dark thickets

Appear flashing bouncing

Lights that dance

Quietly far off

Slowly I approach

They encircle me

Making me glow

Into the thicket

I eventually go

And disappear there

Becoming a firefly

Light of love

Lies

A lie represents

One’s own insecurity

It is armor

Made of foil

Meant to distance

Not to defend

Lies are ghouls

That darkly haunt

That creep consume

And draw down

Even the living

Lies do nothing

For anyone else

Lies do everything

For the liar

There are no

White lies or

Gray lies or

Even black lies

Lies are lies

Lies bring doom

To both those

That give them

And those that

Unfortunately believe them
