sunrise over tuzanor

still here every morning

trying not to think

about the coming of the day

the aquamarine paling

as the bloodred orb creeps across the sky

draining if of its hue.

the starlight fading

drowned by the rays of the sun

which pierce the sleeping city

and it stirs, as if jerked

from some peaceful dreamless slumber

into a world of harshly defined angles.

the air is cold, and I

can no longer feel my fingers

Numb, and my heart beats

Slowly; the thoughts rising

like spirits entwined, only that they are

Alone.

[And all of the stars

Have faded away

Just try not to worry

You'll see them someday

Take what you need, and be on your way

And stop crying your heart out]

maybe

if I close and take a breath

you'll be there

still I can be patient, for

when the lonely sun sets at dusk

Night will come again.

where fear and dreams must collide

(inspired by the piece by josh groban)

so the moment has come

standing on the edge of

                        the unknown

and itiscomingitiscoming

but

you are with me

here, and I am not afraid

of the learning

and the steps to be taken

and the anticipation of

the Fall

thoughts of a falling object

coming

at a faster and faster speed

these thoughts

                        lovehateangerjoyregret

I cannot separate them (tooclose, tooclose)

and your face                fills my world

because I am closer

                       and you are closer

than you think

don't give up—

just wait

       and    I    will

                                    fall

back down.

interaction of two vastly different species

the hand that crushes the ant nest

doesn't think

about how much pain the ants feel

all it knows

are the stings that it has received

and it must be stopped
