by hurried tempers bent on winning wars,
neglectful...

The greatest gift there is to be.
They suppress our selfish inclinations...
They set our passions free.

Staggering to a higher purpose where they buy their souls
Meeting with their Maker as they peak and overflow

to bribe a heart that feels so much.

But their minds are in the south,
When you talk, they hardly hear
Because their minds have travelled wide
Beyond the surface of their present state of mind;
On their own they are fighting...

A wish miscued from somewhere above.
So incorrect, 
I could not detect,
Nor should expect, 
Our bond fit like hand to glove.

A sour lullaby, sang a love you couldn't feel, 
Naive to...

I found you in the flowers
Standing tall we become one
Looking down from gangly towers
Squash, you burn, you pillage, son.

Over these fields of grass,
It must be a terrible boring time,
There's nothing here to see.

No, nothing now, but I look with inward eye,
For twenty thousand years did pass

There lies a truth an edifice of search between obtuse confusion

Windows like brick walls and concrete blocks birthing the light

Try a brisk walk at night, 
Igniting fire through ice, 
It might burn, bite or beat you, 
But you'll swear it feels nice.
