A carefully made mistake
Where the reeds find the lake
Recalling the cool of your presence
A flower for you, and
A cloud for me. I planned
To write a letter, never sent it.
Can it be enough to enjoy
The present at a moment's notice?

a shallow hollow hell
in this shattered hallowed hull
tell me have you seen the stars
dancing in the null?

a hope too fierce
to fold within this tatter
so escape the blaze of suns
I commission you to go
to where the void lies gentle
and cold is mother to your soul

Oh the flame
The candle burns
Fills the room with shadows
Flickers time till
Fire is the only still
Blisters are for tomorrow

The Truth
And other lies we tell ourselves

A broken branch to keep the snarling beasts of now at bay.

Waiting

Retrace your steps
Foot by foot
Comfortably lost
Drops alone can erase
Tracks so deep
So you can lose yourself
Somewhere new
