farther

words on paper move
farther than the sun travels
listen to its heart

line up

line us up
one by one

against the enemy

shadows merge
in the sun

against brutality

don't be aware
of our weapons

of humanity

just listen to
the threatenings

of mortality

before you die

(march)

one more

to others
it was just
a casual breakfast

to them it was the last supper

to others
hurrying along the way
it was a chance to fill
and refill

to them it was one last chance
to make a memory

glasses tinkling
hearts beating
plates clattering
minds wandering

one more course
one last kiss
before it's all cleared away

to others
it was just the passing
of a day

to them it was forever

life in six words

we focus reality

we blur dreams

dayz

i'll tell you
the story
as many times
as you want to hear it

but in return
you have to call me
baby 
like you used to

when we played
across the fields
in uncertain patterns
around each other

looking past
the undertones
looking over
the future woes

into each others
eyes
as the sun
stole our shine

as it slowly
touched the earth
that day

no one knows
what ways
lead back to you

but i'll trace 
them all to 
be true to you

and what
happened
once upon a time

(start)

blue

you turned
on a dime

i was too blind 
to see it

every word
was a trap

love was too hard
to teach it

i thought
you could care

were you too cruel 
to mean it?

i can sit
in the darkness
longer than you

the shadows
are better
than all this blue

(knew)

lean

nose
to the grindstone
head
in the clouds

no one ever knows
what i think out loud

whisper
that you love me
ask
for my embrace

you never knew 
what i hid behind lace

up
with the people
down
with the ship

no one ever hears
what comes from
these lips

nor do they care

(lean)
