SUPERNOVA
I have yet to be touched by death
Though at my back I've felt his cold breath.
Some days, I see him waving, flying by
Something oddly kind and warm in his eye.
And if he would hear, I would ask,

May I grab hold of your shadow cloak?
Could you lay low this tired oak?
So the raven may say in quiet croak,
"Gone, another humourless soul
That didn't get the grand joke".

And if he would indulge me more, I'd say
Lay me next to a fallen brother, a dying star.
In the great nothing, somewhere far.
No tombstone, no name there,
To tell the good world, where.

And none would ever dream
My grave to be a supernova’s flare.

SCRIBBLED GRIEF
Your eyes are orbs of the blackest coal
I chance to peer into them, and-
Their depths threaten to swallow me whole
so I brace myself, this could mean my end
You and your eyes may do away with my soul!
I only ask, until it's done, dont let go of my hand
For mere living was never the goal
Nor could a simple death ever be enough
But as far as oblivion goes,
There's beauty in a name written in the sand
Waiting for the sweeping sea,
That searches the shore for scribbled grief
To wash it off from the living land

RIVALRY
Son of the sun, my old foe,
Why do you still hate me so?
Persecuting me across all time
Like every breath I take is a crime
Light may shine on all beautiful things
But it was I, Shadow, who hid heaven's sins

Won't you tell me, sweet Sharon
By the faintest of whispers if you must
Or roar with the ravaging fires of a Dragon
Say you see this look in my eyes at last

For if juicy fountain lips could kill
When to simply look is to simply perish
And thick hips torture with a thrill
I'm a co**se in beautiful anguish.

Yet, you’ll never hear me say, I love you, again,
Though it soaks me up like heavy rain.
I shall confess it to the wind instead
He hears more than you ever did.
He will weep as He does for us broken things,
He'll howl for me, eagle with shredded wings.

Why, oh, why must I say it again
Why, when you never heard it then?
It hurts to know how much I still do,
Just as fiercely as when I last held you.

You were the south wind that I lost
Nothing your sweet lips can say
Could ever pay for all that cost
So I vow to remember, "you didn't stay".

LOVELY END

So beautiful is the gift I seek,
It's a promise of an end so final,

It's treasure on Life's mountain peak
Not made of gold but all primal.

And partnered crew, if only we had known
That below the ocean sat treasure too.

Deadly arms of the deep sure feel like home
Holding me tighter than any mortal ever could

Yet never in extrimty did it ask a crumb of me...

Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail, and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some, given a chance to climb, they refuse. They cling to the realm, or the gods, or love. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is

MOLAMU
Won't you tell me, sweet Sharon
By the faintest of whispers if you must
Or roar with the ravaging fires of a Dragon
Say you see this longing in my eye at last

For if dew dripping lips could kill
And thick hips scorch a man with thrill
When to simply look is to simply perish
Every time I chance to steal a glance
I'm a co**se, alive in beautiful anguish

OUR SAD TRUTH
What we had,
You and I,
That thing we once shared,
You and I
A wrong so utterly right
It knew nothing,
Nothing, but how to die

CHASING THE SUN
From that exquiste velvet of the sinking sun, comes forth a terrible dread, a need to run
To chase after the light to wherever stars migrate in their crawl and creep...
To where they get that well deserved good night sleep..
To lay my head there where stars do meet..
And escape the looming black where the evening shadows greet
