Your eyes lock with mine in a fleeting glance
In a ricochet of emotion I just cannot speak 

Our time...

It was an unusual trip that was planned,
stranger still that my Mother-in-law was the reason.
A wonderful woman who was liked by all who knew her,

I woke up one morning; the air had an orange glow,
It made me feel quite strange, I didn’t know where to go.

I sat at the corner table with my journal and coffee,
Observant to the shop and the world outside preparing for the weekend.

The mirror it hangs, suspended in Space
How it hangs there how, I don't know in that place.

Two ears, mounted to my head empty, like an old...

Love, as it slithers all over the universe,
Spreading its bolts of firework
All over, seeking solely to please the lot
Of Life as, in the very end,

Raisin just stared at the chaos ahead
A kitten, confused as she sat there in dread
The world has gone mad, all the people have flipped
She glared at a window where blood and gore dripped

Folk wearing specs...

Kiss
One word to describe an endless lifetime
Kiss
The sweetest thing, the sweetest taste and the worst thing to be taken away
Kiss
One solid moment, a product of slow motion; fireworks cascade, decorate the sky

At Once Into Blind Empty Space, At Once Into Her Arms

Something so unwittingly described
Can break me
Remake me
Turn me to the sorriest of fates
And still fill my heart
With this happiness of late
