Lights

I had never seen so many stars before.  It was almost as if God revealed himself as a tempestuous child, angrily throwing an infinite number of marbles made of light and destiny.

P&P Poem

Unlock

If I wasn't so numb
If I wasn't so lost
Floating along the swirling dark clouds in the sky
I'd do anything to keep you here tonight
To keep you here forever
To have your hand in mine
And mine in yours
In a lock of pale flesh

But there is nothing more I can do
I cannot sing you the moon's songs for sleeping children
I cannot cry you a silver lake to reflect your dreams
I cannot turn cartwheels and dance around
With a rainbow of ribbons in my hands
I cannot tear myself apart and give you what's inside
(that's nothing but despair, my love)

So I watch you turn 
to face the door
Leaving me with a kiss I will taste forever

As your fingers
Slip away from mine
I hang my head
And a rain of hair covers my eyes
I don't want to see you go

But you do.
Just the same.

P&P Poem

Lights

I look at the lights
In the city not too far below
They shine like sad stars
In a sky of invisible cement

Though I am with you
I feel all alone
I know for certain:
This is a night for lovers.

How many will kiss for the first time?
How many hearts will be broken?
How many bodies will lie entwined?
How many tears will fall?

I close my eyes and in a flash 
I see them all
