Foolish emotions.

love so it destroys you
so you can feel
the sting of fingernails
as they clasp
on your heart
leaving behind treads
changing the landscape
of your emotions
like a plough
through a dead field
awaiting some hope
to burst forth
from the earth

love so it consumes you
so there's nothing
left to be taken
apart from cinders
and smoke
just the evidence
of a fatal struggle
between mind and soul
between head and heart
laid to rest
at a scorching touch
as your waves of lust
consummate
the fiery tango

love so it completes you
so a million pieces
could never break you
testing your walls
battering the door
even as the armies
venture forth
like soldier ants
chipping at your defenses
brick by brick
vein by vein
unearthing who you are
from the ashes

and rubble
of who you claim to be

One from the archives

If I'm high
I could never lie
If I mistell the truth
It's under influence of youth

I fear myself
On the changing plane
Younger days
Pass by in vain.

I've lost my will
To write a song
I've lost my need
To carry on

A broken heart
Mends over time
A borrowed life
This isn't mine

So I promise you this
Oh friend of friends
Light it up
Let the night not end
For if I'm high
I could never lie
If I mistell the truth
It's under influence of youth

Cocoon

Fly away
My dear butterfly
This not the way
For you to keep on trying

I can see
The stormy winds
Come to kill us
And to stop you from flying

We can't stand
In the face of this
With fragile wings
And a will to fight the tempest

Give it up
Or the final beat
Of your flight
Will be cause of my madness

So leave me here
Go to your home
To the shell
That will keep you protected

For if you choose
To fly through this
For a hope
For a foolish kind of sadness

I will fight
The winds of change
Or I will die
But not for lack of trying

Though my
Weakened wings
And their tiring beat
May slow or still from fighting

Just let me see
As I'm crashing down
That somehow
You lived to keep on flying

And I will rest
Having known
You were there
Even as my breath was dying

Au revoir

When the morning comes

And you're unsure 

Where you're meant to go 

On the borderline 

Of our promised land 

And dreams we can't ignore 

With the hour 

Drawing closer 

Don't you give in 

To the posers 

And the fakes that line the walls 

Skulking down the dim lit halls 

Where I'd found you 

And we had found it all 

When the bitter night ends 

If you can't see 

Where you find yourself 

Like a blinded man 

Just hold my hand 

I'll help you reach the shelf 

Where our dreams 

Hide with our sorrows 

Beside the treasures 

Of tomorrow 

To hold us up right when we fall 

Straightened spine to keep us tall 

Till this darkness 

Makes the way for dawn 

We'll somehow carry on 

So don't you fear the morn
