Choices

The door is there to come in or to go out
Do you follow the signs or your heart?
We stand here at forked roads,
Pacing the ground, round and round
Do you choose for others or for yourself?
We are bond by invisible strings
One yank there, one tug here,
We can never be out of influence's reach,
But the choice is yours to hold,
Like a little child,
It grows into something,
Like branches of a tree,
There is value in every way,
Every direction.
It's your choice to roll the dice,
But the outcome, you can't control.
All one must do, is muster courage and hope.
But do I have them in my possession?
Even with such bravery, one is still
Exposed to the caprice, taciturn life,
Why do we still choose to love?

Random, random linessss...

Mythology

My love resides on the sun,
My sorrow resides on the moon,
I'm leaping on the stars to get to you
Careful not to fall into darkness.
I found you on Earth, and
We held hands as we explored this galaxy,
Riding on the asteroid belt,
Sliding down Saturn's rings.
We become shooting stars,
Round and round we go,
Until we tire and rest upon clouds, but
You fall through and back in your slumber.
Whilst I, sitting on Polaris, watched you
As you awake in my love,
I fade into sorrow,
And you remark on your fantastical dream.

This one pieced itself together.
I have no idea what the hell I was writing, haha.

I, Toi

I will always remember our first gaze
It wasn't by chance that we happen to
Look upon each other, our sights embrace,
Yet not knowing how our bond will ensue

We sat there still, across from each other
Silences fill the chasm between us
Thinking spoken speech is a great bother,
When it feels like the morning of Christmas

There's something familiar about you
Like you have walked the paths of my memories
Like a painting I've forgotten was there

You are a bright star that I never knew
A picture of love and all its glories
Will 't please you to remain with me, here?

My tribute to Petrarch, whose sonnets I have slighted.
Though my words are not magnificent as his, it is my first. <3 span="span">

Coward

The sunflower drooped its head in sunshine
There is static on the radio
My lips are sewn shut with my own intestines
My blood putting out the flames of Helios

I'm slithering on the ground in toil
Dirt beneath my nails
I lay on my back on moist soil
My weaknesses, can I prevail?

I spread out my arms and fall back
I'm falling like the plates thrown from the roof
I can't make up for all that I lack
And this is my proof.

Dissociated

That last puff of cigarette
No longer has any effect
Doctor, doctor, will you help me?
The smoke just comes in and out
But I don't feel a thing.

Just lie on the table
And remove your clothes
I'm going to insert this knife in you
It may hurt a little.

I don't feel a thing.

Oh my my my,
What darkness and anguish in you,
Spilling out messily everywhere
Let me open your rib cage a little more
Don't hold back, just let it all out
Say, how do you feel?

Better than before.

*

My heart is an anchor
Broken off the chain
Sinking until it hits a surface
And there it shall lie
For centuries to come
In eternal sleep
Beneath the sediments and water

Rolling around in its sleep
Like it's dreaming a nightmare
Rolling until it lands on a water mine

And exploded.

*

It has become that when
Thoughts formulate in my mind
They refuse to leave my body.
As they edge closer to my mouth,
They develop a skill of ineffability.
There they sit on my tongue
But I swallow them by accident
And I become the thoughts I digest
You can never know them.

Solitude

I walk alone on the streets
Not knowing anyone
Not wanting to know anyone
And all I have is you
In my memory.
And before I burst into tears
At the thought of you,
(Oh, how I miss you),
A monarch butterfly
Flutters by,
Giving me a little heart
To comfort my solitude.

Cloudy Days

I am chasing clouds like I'm chasing dreams
Refusing to acknowledge that they will disappear
Like a very good magic trick
Leaving me in a confused state.
The clouds, they pity me
And so before they leave,
They cry for me.
I let my dreams wash over me
And they are mine
Until the sun comes out.

Dakon

There's no one else like him
Who feels so deeply
To never go on a whim
But considers everything thoroughly

A kind spirit he has
Though some may label him weak
But an opportunity he will not pass
To avenge the meek

He lost everything
But not his courage
A loyal advisor to the king
Never a ruthless savage

A humble country magician
Who gains respect from everyone
Fulfilled his heart's mission
He truly has won.

My eulogy for one of my most beloved magicians, whose merciful, charitable heart matches no other.
