The rain just keeps coming down
like the tears on her face.
And I know it’s not fair,
but that’s the way of this world.
Tears coming down your face.
Wish I could take them away.
Your soft voice rises to my ears
and erases all of my fears.
I’ve lost the heart to believe.
We watched the bears in the Arctic sleep.
Take me back to your bed.
I don’t think I can sleep.
I’ve got too many thoughts in my head.
I’ve watched it all crash into the sea.
The past drowns in the sea.

Let the leaves take me into their shade.
You lie, you lie down.

Mythopoeia

|
All your colors rain down.
and if the earth’s just a ball
that floats upon
an infinitely dark sea,
who hung those lights on the heaventree?
Shall the sun rise but not blind?
Shall the clay bake yet not bind?
“Phaedrus, what’ve you learned of love?” asks the lonely heart.
Birds fly through the night,
navigating by the stars.
I’ve become weightless again.
Just take me to the stream,
sit me under the plane tree,
and tell me...

If April comes, will you be able to view
flowers rise from their tomb?
Or will the dust leave your hand
to fill the sky?
All my lies are leaves that fall like love from your tree;
All my lies are leaves that fall like love at your feet.
I slurred a dirge with perfect words for your death.
The wasteland, the world all are bereft.
“And we shall play a game of chess,
the ivory men make company between us,
pressing lidless eyes,” our naked bodies on the floor,
"and waiting for a knock upon the door.”*
All my lies are leaves that fall like love from your tree;
All my lies are leaves that fall like love at your feet.
*T.S. Eliot, ‘The Wasteland’ (A Game Of Chess, excerpt removed by Eliot from the poem)

Take this delicate thing
and throw it to the ground,
watch the pieces spread,
shattered color all around.
Fragments of stained glass,
refracting all the lights.
Kaleidoscope signs
like darkened lover’s eyes.
You’re eyes are the color of fire.
You’re lighter.
Your lier.
Your love.
You see.
You’re gone.
You’re trying to find
the sign that you need to save yourself.
But you’re shattered, and you know
that the light is lost.
