"Folks Don't Know"
Goodnight
I'll open the door tomorrow
With pride
You're already outside waiting
Not where I told you to be
And we revolve
Through every turn and curve
Swirling in the way
Snowflakes
They're early if I say so
We'll still make it
If only this journey
Took a little longer
We both would be
Two new souls after arriving
Tell me
Something less than ice, you owe
Tokens in return for this exchange
Breathe
Tell me
Something less than ice, you owe me
Tokens in return for this exchange
Here we are
Is this what we imagined
Pallid surroundings
We can make it whatever we want
Today
So late
Clear sleeves on the way home
You'll let me know, I know
I can't stand this strange strange waiting
Only once
If only this journey
Took a little longer
We both would be
Two new souls after arriving
Tell me
Something less than ice
You owe
Tokens in return for this exchange
Breathe
Tell me
Something less than ice, you owe me
I'll take what you have left
To give me
==========================================
"Is There Another Word for Winter?"
Winter slit the throat of fall and took its place
This place is feeling numb and it's cold and alone
The days are getting short, the night's here to stay
We sit aside and watch, nothing we can do
Everything is dim, and nothing is clear
The earth hides away, and so will we
The ground turns to eyes, while so do your eyes
I won't turn away if you won't change your sight
You feel so bleak
And you feel like me
The snow falls slow and cold
I wait long and low for you
When there is nothing around, we tend to create
And what we make is always seemingly blank
I'll tell you what we need, and what I mean
If you lend me a hand, I will hand you my own
Again I go unseen, maybe I'm wrong
Motionless indifferent, but still serene
Like the scenery outside, I am in sleep
Presently concealed but soon to be
Deny me
I won't need you
I hold onto you
Though you feel like stone
Please return
And unfold
==========================================
"Ribbons of Red and Gold, They Lash at Me"
If you keep
Turning away
You will soon stare into my face
barely, I can sense you
But I focus on
The distance you've made
I feel uncertain
You are not fair
You are not very open
If you keep
Answering me
What am I to believe
Your reply is
Solemn
Not what I had in mind
I feel unlikely
You are not fair
You are not very open
==========================================
"So, I Became Complacent"
Did they shine with brilliance
Lighting up his his eyes like crystalline surprises
Don't say it wasn't better than mine
How sweet was the taste
You can tell me
Be sure to make it real and credibly disheartening
Straight from your tongue
And the fire
Did it form such a film around his stare
You were adhered inside the rings
Of cerulean sterling
I heard your song
Forcibly mellow, dischordantly driving my ears
And I don't want to hear you
This machine is melting green and I'm
Burning the while
My words are indifferent
Discarded like wasteful offerings borne of spite
All to see where it goes
I make my evasion
Don't you look back now
Oh, but I'm gazing
I live inside a nightmare
I can't get out by sleep
The way I got in
I wonder if I will remember
Your name by then
I hope I forget we ever met before
I hope we never speak again
I hope I forget your face
And the sound of your name
Never say you want them both
Never say you love me
I'm sick of your trying
And I never know what you mean
We will always save this
I forget now what it means to be naive
We'll leave records for them to see by
And dream of thing we left behind
While you and the moon are content in being blinding
I'll ask you to say what you believe
And even it if takes deception
Tell me once, that's all I want this month
This machine is melting green and I'm
Burning the while
All of them have closer moving all along
==========================================
"Thanks, Kate"
Oh, bless you who made me feel human
Not half so far on earth as in heart
I'm drowning in a dream world
I sure deserve to be immersed
And savour the water slow
Still, I owe gracious thanks to those
Keeping me afloat
Gradient sky, hide me
Let no one see me writhing
Gradient sky, hide me
Let no one see me writhe
As though a ghost, on time and place you impose
You keep at bay, and stave off betrayal
From every angle
What does beauty mean
And will you teach me
Gradient sky, hide me
Let no one see me writhing
I'm blind
Gradient sky, hide me
Let no one see me writhing
