PEACE
---
I lay on the soft springs which support me like the finest dream
As if god was holding me in his arms, breathing slowly on my neck
I can feel his breathing
His sighing
His heart beating like a drum
Dancing through the air and entering my spirit
I'll never forget that haunting noise
What?
The shine caught my eye
Yesโฆyesโฆhe's calling for me
He wants us to be together
I hear his whispering voice
The sound moving through the air
Just like it did when I was a boy
Like a luring lullaby
Blackness.
Open eyes.
Reuinited with my cold friend
And the warm warm bed
All strength is gone
Like everything I've known has been sucked out
Within seconds
I cant even think
I'm just living
โฆso this is living
Draw one final breath
With all the strength in this world I can muster
How can I
Blackness.
โฆโฆโฆ.silenceโฆโฆpeace.
THE DAMAGE YOU CAUSED
---
Your life is your life
Only you know what you do
When you look in the eyes of another person
You're looking into their life
Their past
Strengths and faults
Pain and happiness
Those two caverns of history can tell you more than any number of words
Especially hers.
Everytime she smiled I could see
Apelike hands and primal instincts
But not even primates would do such a thing.
Everytime time she laughed I swear I could see the reflection of him dancing off of her shining eyes
Turn to stop it, but my senses came back to me
It made me so angry what she became
Monsters lust for innocence
This is the damage you caused.
She would recoil and the tormenting would begin
This is the damage you caused.
THE BEACH
---
Is this real?
Digging my hands into the wet sand.
Feels like warm butter
The sun beats against my pale skin cooking me alive
I cant believe it.
This must be a dream.
Iโm still catching my breath
Will I ever get it back?
Waves penetrate deep into my skull
Crashing into the cove of my ear
Swilling around and deafening them
I can still smell itโฆ
Jesus.
I finally open my eyes after what seems like an eternity
Am I dead?
No way heaven doesnโt smell like this.
My eyes finally adjust, the white light dissolves.
Palm trees fan me from above
Thank you God.
Thank you.
PENGUINS
---
Penguins, penguins
All around
Penguins, penguins
Squak so loud
Penguins, penguins
Waddle round
Penguins, penguins
Are being ripped apart by arctic wolves.
Shit.
All
All the people yet to meet
All the mountains yet to see
All the places yet to be
All I think is you and me
