that during the night I hold my wrist up
to my mouth to drink deep breaths of you.
I want to tell you that your fire consumes my flesh
that when I am with you the burning makes me feel

Yet hope in their eyes
So many stories
Yet free of disguise
Lost were the jobs
Families and homes
Bound by faith
Feel not alone
Gone are the comforts
Self worth defined
Appear having nothing
Life rebuilt

bespeckled by a dog hair whispered on the size of a giant
the blue roof falls through a golden ring from the elephant
a self styled martyr confides while the swordsmen use liquid sticks
but the brains are in operation the efficiency must be quick
sand is dried in the arid land postmen pump information

I don't understand 'this'
I am confused by 'this'.
Why does 'this' cause me so much pain?
And why does 'this' make me smile with joy?

But I have felt 'that' before
And it didn't feel like 'this'.

Season raided the capital and continued relentlessly on
Towards languid dreariness of land-locked provinces
Visiting team sailed off home believing itself undefeated

They say that I am wise...
That I give good advice...
But I should not be wise...
I am too young to be the one
to whom all the people turn
when wits don't help and hopes are gone...
I fast grew old and now for youth I yearn...
I should be unwise guided by heart

the mirror is shining while im waiting for you
the wings cant fly as im waiting for you
the wall is rough as im waiting for you
the way is obstructed nothing i can do
legs getting stiff where are my friends
bones being

It rolls in wave upon wave
Heartache in play she begins
Truthful feelings she must persuade
To leave love and me behind again

A
Shade
Came in late
On a light afternoon
Bending old friends strait
