Like A Gentle Drop Of Rain

Purity of Heart

As soft, gentle breezes caresses me so;

smiling, a shiver runs through me,

this feeling captured my being,

holds onto my soul;

I am captured,

by you;

evermore.

Evermore,

by you;

I am captured.

Holds onto my soul;

this feeling captured my being,

smiling; a shiver runs through me,

as soft, gentle breezes caresses me so.

Eep!

There is no place to hide child

The Shadow Man pointed at Stella

She lay still and quiet

Not making any sound

Fear creeped in

It smiled

Eep!

Eep!

It smiled

Fear creeped in

Not making a sound

She lay still and quiet

The Shadow Man pointed at Stella

There is no place to hide child

#Eep!

Jewels forming beneath your skin

Rubies run red from your gentle wrist

glistening against the glossy night sky.

But breathe in stars, slowly

fill your lungs with

diamonds, and form

strength from

within.

within

strength from

diamonds, and form

fill your lungs with

but breathe in stars, slowly

glistening against the glossy night sky.

Rubies run red from your gentle wrist

Burn

My heart burns everyday since you left

A sort of desperate, pleasing delight

A light of fiery remembrance

For it was real

We were real

Do you?

Burn?

Burn?

Do you?

We were real

For it was real

A light of fiery remembrance

A sort of desperate, pleasing delight

My heart burns everyday since you left

The Universe Is Contained In Musty Binders.

I feel slightly guilty all the while

getting fat off other brilliant insanities

in cozy places, staying sane.

Like reading good books;

knowing it all

comes to

nothing.

Nothing

comes to

knowing it all

like reading good books

in cozy places. Staying sane.

Getting fat off other brilliant insanities.

I feel slightly guilty all the while.

Que Sera Sera

The pen and paper inquired of us

“Could the new couple make it?”

Their hearts skipped a beat

Looking at each other

with entwined hands

They chuckled

"YES!"

"YES!"

They chuckled

with entwined hands

Looking at each other

Their hearts skipped a beat

"Could the new couple make it?"

The pen and paper inquired of us

They have all left, every last one

silence in crystalline blooms, unshattered grows

no footstep on the stair

quiet house, empty house

The silence waits

at last,

alone.

Alone

at last!

The silence waits -

quiet house, empty house,

no footstep on the stair -

silence in crystalline blooms, unshattered, grows.

They have all left - every last one!

One Wish

I am that lonely piece of stardust

You made your wish upon me

What would be possible if

You believed in me

Your shooting star

One wish

Together

Together

One wish

Your shooting star

You believed in me

What would be possible if

You made your wish upon me

I am that lonely piece of stardust

The Trickster

Things are not always what they appear,

When the whole picture isn't clear.

The world turned upside down,

Like a magnificent magician

Teasing the crowd.

Gather around.

Enjoy.

Enjoy.

Gather around.

Teasing the crowd

Like a magnificent magician.

The world turned upside down,

When the whole picture isn't clear,

Things are not always what they appear.

Unconditional Love

Even when I did not deserve You,

You never left me by myself.

And I always wonder why

You decided to stay

standing right here

with me-

You.

You

with me-

Standing right here,

You decided to stay.

And I always wonder why

You never left me by myself

even when I did not deserve You.
