And one day, children,
the beast came out,
and swallowed the whole room!
I too was a child when the ravens came for me
No one would mind in the silence when I screamed
To keep me alive was a riverbed of dreams
so that in my demise at least I have been freed

Of all the battle scars that your arrow could pierce through again
The little archer aims for the closest open wound.
It’s running through my veins, the poison from the very tip.
Is the murder of what remains of me a crime hard to commit?
Or will that sharp point puncture me and bleed out all the fight
And leave me all alone? So dry and empty
Broken from an impact with the pounding of the bitter drum.
Aim for one target, aim for one target
Aim for one target, aim for one
Of all the battle scars that your arrow could pierce through again
The little archer aims for the closest open wound.
It’s running through my veins, the poison from the very tip.
Is the murder of what remains of me a crime hard to commit?
Or will that sharp point puncture me and bleed out all the fight
And leave me all alone? So dry and empty
Broken from an impact with the pounding of the bitter drum.
Give you mercy, leave me none
Arrows, swords, and words and guns..
Give you mercy, leave me none
Arrows, swords, and words and guns..
Am I not your daughter?
Aren’t we the same?
Are you not a daughter too?
Then don’t you feel my pain?
Am I not your son?
Don’t we share a name?
You’re as much a son as I
So don’t tell me you don’t
Don’t tell me you won’t
Don’t tell me you refuse to relate.
Am I not a human?
Aren’t we the same race?
Are you not a human too?
Then don’t you feel my pain?
Are we not together?
Aren’t we on each others’ side?
All I want is to be heard
Don’t you, don’t you, don’t you?
I’m a battle cry; I am a battered life
I’m a battle cry; lonely fighter.
I’m a battle cry; I am a battered life
I’m a battle cry; lonely fighter.

Firstly, here’s your voodoo doll
And there’s plenty more ‘round here to share.
Quake of the great Earth, wake us up!
Heartache, take our minds' must of wine
And use it to cure our common colds.
I know the clouds are pulverized bone;
That they rain sanity, and crematorium,
and joy, and celebration;
That one day soon we will become we, ourselves,
The greatest ones of us, ourselves,
the only ones of us, we'll be
Still, first, here’s your greatest them
And in the end, tomorrow
They’ll be there for you then
Just kiss 'em like you would you lovers
Hold 'em as your truest friends
For everything explains itself
So extraordinarily well
So when there is no time, make it up
And you will feel as if it had been there forever
Gravity won't crush the lotus flowers on luna's mane
And stand up, jump up, stretch into ascension
But of course, first, you must always try
And to your surprise, one day, the moon will fall
Into the palm of your longingly outstretched hand
Which will seem to have expanded freakishly wide
In order to grasp magnificent girth.

Found the energy to breathe
Finally
The energy to see
All this time
And now it is I
That smiles before
It sleeps.
Learn to love to live freely
Learned to love to be.
Rinsed face
Sugar
Spice
Oil and
Aloe
I am here
The prince, the queen
It is I
A princess
king
I Am my own
Leader
One eye opened wide
In the ground of a dreamers garden
Blessed me, she prays for thee
Blessed us, our night can see.
Bliss is this:
Infinitely falling
Coming into being
I want to be born over again
I think you can help me
To want is to be born of needing
But I can wait a while to know
As if I need to...
I fell into this soul
Into the neverending hole
All the heaven's pleasure's here
At the bottom,
Where the seeds take root
It grows up and down
A single seedling
One of a kind
For the whole earth to feel
Infinitum in kindred kind
Timeless new
And old.
My daughter's son
His daughters mom
My daughter
Her mother
My father
one blossom
One billion times
It will all exist so long
In every star
we are undone
To bloom anew
a newer one.

Yellow- blue bunny
I’ve got your song in my mind
So why can’t I roam where you roam free?
Why don’t I see what you see?
Thick as the water is deep
Is the shroud that falls, distancing me.
And then peaks careful brightness, coy and beaming
Like a soft candle light might, glowing gently
Illuminating at night, looming entity
It's so obscure and I don’t quite know it’s meaning
It’s so enticing and I can’t close my eyes
My heart beats madly in time to the moonrise
This matches something inside
So compelling
I run without and through time
Trying to get its attention
I’m endlessly trying to get its attention.
