Your smile is my contentment,
When your eyes are full of joy...
The ocean of my spirit rises - falls,
Its surface given form by motion deep...
Once, in a meadow far away,
A patch of sunny flowers lay...
Every corner not turned, every path not taken,
Represents ambiguous answers or unanswered...
Gnashing, rotting teeth, gnawing all hope,
Gaping, dark mouth swallows my strength...
As the light seeps through the curtain,
Slowly fading - of this I'm certain...
The light shines bright from your green eyes
I can sense myself with no disguise...
It was all just a futile game,
Like cat and mouse these humans played...
Torrential teardrops fell from darkened skies,
his wailing, mournful, caressing lament...
I watched the clock as each hour past,
Last night while I was sleeping...
