A habit of this thing I've made,
Gliding aloft the wings of time,
Stopping by each winding bend,
Making it all mine, this time.

Each jagged end I hold close,
Having been sheared by those,
Merciless in their wake they've been,
Yet now make me truly whole.

With my arms held lustily out,
I boldly command an embrace,
For today they hold me tender,
Dearest friends, insurmountable foes.

But soon I shall turn away,
One day at some weary bay,
Laying down my thistle crown,
Perched proudly upon my mane.

The flavor of memories linger,
And I shall return once again,
For time's always been a circle,
Now, looping around my grave.

-

I shut all the doors to my heart
but from it's window
love peeked through!

-

Walking through my checkered path
I won't judge you
while riding on it's troughs and waves
I find you.

-

Through your life weave
all that was born through your words
and like spirits linger
all that was left untold.

-

Come mend me slowly
Piece by piece
Lest I bleed myself
A crimson path
These scattered pieces
That you gingerly hold
My love be warned
Shall play on
Along their checkered path

Answer me true
Shall you be bold
Walking by me
On these alien paths
Will it devour
That savior in you
Knowing I'm whole
But broken in parts?

-

When I Iost myself
In the ebb and flow of words
You read them word after word
Untangled me a little each time
Held me tenderly by the hand
Looked at a little bit of my soul at times
And just like that
Without you even knowing
Each time you've helped me
Find myself again.

Charred; they lay,
In pieces; mere pieces.
Deeds of minds gone astray,
Brutal, brutal minds.

Fear, agony, loss
In hearts to stay,
A cry, a wail; then shocked dismay.
The vulture's got it's prey.

Chuckles blown away,
Of,
Victorious, devious ploys,
Dissolve into riverlets,
Joining sorrow's Nile.

-

When we fell so deep in love
Not one bother had we
Over the years the polish dulled
I have no insight to plead.

All I see is you as you
While I'm still like I'd always be
Of course I've​ got it measured wrong
For that's source of all trouble, see?

Before we go, break apart
Into two or still more jigsaw parts
Won't you want your whole to be
Merged with little pieces of my being?

Love, shall i take a slumber deep?
Some sleeping beauty I shall be
An ancient question still here shall lie
Would your beast come set me free?

-

Lucid memory floats by
Like vapours from some shallow spring
On a hot summer's day
Like the ones on which I've lain in wait
Toeing nettles in my way.

Pricky thoughts of neglect fill my head
But a fierce love shines through
Your trespasses sprout wings- fly away
Each doubt is swallowed whole

I spy you from afar
A chatoyance in my view
I'm blinded as I trot forth
Your smile lights up my soul
An outstretched arm I move to hold

Yet what snaps me back
Is but the ache in my bones
I'm held hostage but for now
Lying ensnared is just reminiscence

The music here doth end
And soon I shall sway
like a yellowed leaf by time betrayed
In an old woman's chattels they'll find
The riches of the some lonely senile.

Amongst them a note you left
Sorry remains of a ruthless grief
Of deafening summons you'd paid heed
On that damning precipice.

As you over the brooding brink stood
Maybe once my way you'd looked
Didn't you then not know
That tis' shall be the only way
To will my blissful life away?

-

Time a wind through my hair
Vines of promises around my tresses curl
Bind me whole yet caress my face.
Kisses forgotten on my lover's lips
Shimmy their glitter, then melt away
Words spoken a million times
The fluff of dreams and of all things beautiful
But a lonely heart shall crave
And I'd ride astride them
Creatures that gleam alive yet only in fantasy live

I'd waft through each fairyland
On the wings of glorious time
Like a song that lilts the hearts of solemn lovers.
So I rush forth in ecstasy
Alas! A mirror is all I see
And as my eyes begin clouding over
The woman in it with glittering eyes
Smiles her familiar beguiling smile,
then asks,
Hush... Who's the fool now?
