To turn
The stones
Into stars
Black as ink
Tattoos you
Leaving such
Lovely scars

Woman with a Flower
Woman with a flower
Her eyes start to die
Petals fall in her lap
She misses her smile
Woman with a flower
The bud starts to wilt
Smelling stale and moldy
Like the soul in her head
Woman with a flower
The stem bends away
Heavy from the rot
She forgot to give water
Woman with a flower
Her eyes glaze and burn
Staring into nothing
Her heart's an obligation
Woman with a flower
Life grows around her still
Bursting and yelling but
She pretends she can't hear
Words I love: Babydoll by Cat Power
Baby
Black, black, black is all you see
Don't you want to be free?
Baby
Red, red fire is what you breathe
Don't you want to be clean?
Honey, the shape you're in
Is worth every dime you spent
Baby Doll
Turn out the lights
Set yourself on fire
Say goodnight
Pin your hair up
A real cool time
Baby
Black, black, black is all you see
Don't you want to be free?
Ride My Melt
Beyond where the line
That divides from the sky
Ride my melt into life
That refuses to die
A road through the hills
That leads me to air
Lungs wait for freedom
To breathe in and out there
The eyes in the trees
That watch me and burn
Tears drip as rain
Turn to streams as I yearn
Beyond where the line
That divides from the sky
Ride my melt into life
That demands me to fly

Deteriorate
You watched me deteriorate
Into molecules in your hand
Laughing at my struggle
To find somewhere to land
You left me on the street
Bleeding from my eyes
Reaching out for bandages
Filling the road with cries
You piled up the bodies
To build a bigger throne
Climbing higher still
But you will die alone
Into molecules in your hand
Laughing at my struggle
To find somewhere to land
You left me on the street
Bleeding from my eyes
Reaching out for bandages
Filling the road with cries
You piled up the bodies
To build a bigger throne
Climbing higher still
But you will die alone
Little Heart
I met you in the road
Your voice was quiet
Just begging to be heard
I couldn't leave you there
Your eyes were so kind
They were looking into the sky
I saw the beauty of your life
Your soul as heavy as mine
Just looking for a way
I loved you today and always
Your dark hair shone with sun
And your little heart beating with life
I gave you to the grass
Your body was with the Earth
Just to give you a soft bed
I see you in the clouds
Your love mixes with rain
To shower us with your little spirit
I love your little heart
Your beautiful little life
All I wanted was for you to be free
Your voice was quiet
Just begging to be heard
I couldn't leave you there
Your eyes were so kind
They were looking into the sky
I saw the beauty of your life
Your soul as heavy as mine
Just looking for a way
I loved you today and always
Your dark hair shone with sun
And your little heart beating with life
I gave you to the grass
Your body was with the Earth
Just to give you a soft bed
I see you in the clouds
Your love mixes with rain
To shower us with your little spirit
I love your little heart
Your beautiful little life
All I wanted was for you to be free
Blood
My eyes are open to the
Blood that swallows me
And chokes my lungs when
I breathe in the air
They killed all the living
And left me to die with a
Hope that anything I love
Will ever seem to matter
Murdering lovers and
Marrying hatred and
Eating their kills before
Preaching their thoughts
Skeletons fight for
The lives of the living
In long-forgotten graveyards
That we covered with roads
Blood that swallows me
And chokes my lungs when
I breathe in the air
They killed all the living
And left me to die with a
Hope that anything I love
Will ever seem to matter
Murdering lovers and
Marrying hatred and
Eating their kills before
Preaching their thoughts
Skeletons fight for
The lives of the living
In long-forgotten graveyards
That we covered with roads
Seeping
Blue-eyed pain
Under blood-stained gold
No words to leave
For red eyes left behind
Seeping through
The floor under your body
Soul only a little
Ways above our heads
Careless words
Pulsed through clumsy fingers
Before they fell
In red drops on the ground
Under blood-stained gold
No words to leave
For red eyes left behind
Seeping through
The floor under your body
Soul only a little
Ways above our heads
Careless words
Pulsed through clumsy fingers
Before they fell
In red drops on the ground

Crumble Away
It's 3 a.m.
The sound is breaking silence
Awaking me
To the world's constant violence
Under the sheet
Hearts stop and wait for rebirth
Releasing me
New eyes to view the Earth
It's 7 a.m.
Sun waking to the news of
One less blind soul
Floating closely above us
Under the moon
Still present in the sky
Crying for me
Wondering why we all have to die
Crumble away
Into the soil and grass
Forget me not
For what I told you last
It's 10 a.m.
Night is a faded memory
Leave it to be
The conclusion that happened finally

Sky
Open arms
Open eyes
Pressed against
The clouds
Feel sky
Feel sun
Floating away
From Earth
High above
High alone
Soaring toward
The blue
You are free
You are alive
Swimming in
The clouds
Orbit Earth
Orbit life
Stars above
The sky
Black above
Black below
Even Sun
Will die
Life on Earth
Life in the sky
Know you're free
Know your rights
Open arms
Open eyes
Under sky
All alive
Papillon
Papillon, elle crie
Pour la vie
Elle veut avoir
Elle attend
Pour la soleil
Elle sait que c'est lÃ
Papillon, elle cherche
Pour la fleur
Cela donnera sa vie
Elle mort
Pour la liberté
Elle croit qu'elle mérite

Under Stars
The sky begged me to sleep
Under stars
While the trees
Looked away
It's night
And dark is coming
But somehow the souls
Found their way
The graveyard cradled bones
Under black
While the stones
Guarded the saved
It's silent
And death is coming
But somehow I'm not
I'm not afraid
The forgotten asked me to remember
Under dirt
While the clouds
Killed the stars
It's death
But not forever
And somehow the sun
Breaks through the ground
Under stars
While the trees
Looked away
It's night
And dark is coming
But somehow the souls
Found their way
The graveyard cradled bones
Under black
While the stones
Guarded the saved
It's silent
And death is coming
But somehow I'm not
I'm not afraid
The forgotten asked me to remember
Under dirt
While the clouds
Killed the stars
It's death
But not forever
And somehow the sun
Breaks through the ground
Lotus Flower
Lotus flower
Float away
Dying on water
Finding a grave
Petals wilt
Feed the fish
Death into life
Digested matter
Born again
New lotus flower
Breathe air
Finding a place
Petals blush
Water soaks life
Nourishing roots
Attaching to Earth
Blooming alive
Into the sun
Drinking in water
Floating on blue
Lotus flower
Fade away
Dying on water
Marking a grave
Float away
Dying on water
Finding a grave
Petals wilt
Feed the fish
Death into life
Digested matter
Born again
New lotus flower
Breathe air
Finding a place
Petals blush
Water soaks life
Nourishing roots
Attaching to Earth
Blooming alive
Into the sun
Drinking in water
Floating on blue
Lotus flower
Fade away
Dying on water
Marking a grave
Get Away From Your Home
Get away from your home
And leave your porch behind
It's not dying to be alone
In the quiet of life
There's a road etched through grass
But the path is quite hidden
From eyes that are trained
To turn from the light
Roots grow where the servants will feed you
Food full of maggots and bits of sour trash
Shackles in silver promise abundance and riches
For those who will kill everything that's inside
Get away from your home
And leave your porch behind
It's not dying to give up
To save your own life
And leave your porch behind
It's not dying to be alone
In the quiet of life
There's a road etched through grass
But the path is quite hidden
From eyes that are trained
To turn from the light
Roots grow where the servants will feed you
Food full of maggots and bits of sour trash
Shackles in silver promise abundance and riches
For those who will kill everything that's inside
Get away from your home
And leave your porch behind
It's not dying to give up
To save your own life
Puzzling Pieces
Behind calm eyes there's a gun ready to fire
Words from a pistol that she loaded with care
Swallowing pills in the early morning violet
Last night's dreams that are haunting her still
Scratches her arms
Just to keep her hands busy
Pulling her hair
When there's nothing to do
"Be calm" she says
To nobody who listens
Only herself
Who is only who cares
She's crumbling down into puzzling pieces
Sleeping in cars just to keep her alive
Screaming lungs out and filling the spaces
Feeding herself poison that the doctor prescribed
Under careless hair is a mind that is wasted
Knowledge and facts that are dying inside
The horizon pulls her away from her fear
Beyond the line that divides from the sky
Words from a pistol that she loaded with care
Swallowing pills in the early morning violet
Last night's dreams that are haunting her still
Scratches her arms
Just to keep her hands busy
Pulling her hair
When there's nothing to do
"Be calm" she says
To nobody who listens
Only herself
Who is only who cares
She's crumbling down into puzzling pieces
Sleeping in cars just to keep her alive
Screaming lungs out and filling the spaces
Feeding herself poison that the doctor prescribed
Under careless hair is a mind that is wasted
Knowledge and facts that are dying inside
The horizon pulls her away from her fear
Beyond the line that divides from the sky
Words I love: Within You Without You by The Beatles
We were talking about the space between us all
And the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth, then it's far too late, when they pass away
We were talking about the love we all could share
When we find it, to try our best to hold it there with our love
With our love, we could save the world, if they only knew
Try to realize it's all within yourself
No one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small
And life flows on within you and without you
We were talking about the love that's gone so cold
And the people who gain the world and lose their soul
They don't know, they can't see, are you one of them?
When you've seen beyond yourself then you may find
Peace of mind is waiting there
And the time will come when you see we're all one
And life flows on within you and without you
And the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth, then it's far too late, when they pass away
We were talking about the love we all could share
When we find it, to try our best to hold it there with our love
With our love, we could save the world, if they only knew
Try to realize it's all within yourself
No one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small
And life flows on within you and without you
We were talking about the love that's gone so cold
And the people who gain the world and lose their soul
They don't know, they can't see, are you one of them?
When you've seen beyond yourself then you may find
Peace of mind is waiting there
And the time will come when you see we're all one
And life flows on within you and without you
Girl
Sweet, empty girl
Budding with new ideas
Awaking today
To be who you aren't
Small, golden girl
Bursting with new surmises
Reading today
About who made the world
Ignorant girl
Bleeding from cuts and bruising
Crying at night
To mourn what once was
Forgotten girl
Blending into the shadows
Screaming for love
To make her feel whole
Budding with new ideas
Awaking today
To be who you aren't
Small, golden girl
Bursting with new surmises
Reading today
About who made the world
Ignorant girl
Bleeding from cuts and bruising
Crying at night
To mourn what once was
Forgotten girl
Blending into the shadows
Screaming for love
To make her feel whole
A Life All My Own
Torn apart pieces
And pieces of parents
Sewn to my body
With careless, frayed thread
Memories and scars and
Forgotten places
Familiar breath
On my neck, strangles me
Pictures of blood
And expected achievements
Guiding me slowly
To faraway seas
Grudges and guilt and
Priceless advices
Pumps blood in my heart
And fires me, I quit
Fathers with guns
And mothers with poison
Chasing their children
To be scared of their seeds
Choking on stories of
Experiences past us
Shedding my skin
Just to feel more alive
Eternal orbits
And wandering faces
Saying goodnight to
Strangers we know
Petals from flowers
And love from the moonlight
Opens my eyes
To a life all my own
And pieces of parents
Sewn to my body
With careless, frayed thread
Memories and scars and
Forgotten places
Familiar breath
On my neck, strangles me
Pictures of blood
And expected achievements
Guiding me slowly
To faraway seas
Grudges and guilt and
Priceless advices
Pumps blood in my heart
And fires me, I quit
Fathers with guns
And mothers with poison
Chasing their children
To be scared of their seeds
Choking on stories of
Experiences past us
Shedding my skin
Just to feel more alive
Eternal orbits
And wandering faces
Saying goodnight to
Strangers we know
Petals from flowers
And love from the moonlight
Opens my eyes
To a life all my own
How Lovely Life Is
How lovely life is
When it begins again
Lungs purged of dust
An end to suffocation
Breathing damp air
New spirit born from ashes
Coming back as fire again
To burn all the evils
I killed all my friends
To make my life easy
And I quit the sleep walk
To hide from the soulless
How lovely life is
When it begins again
Head shed my hair
An end to the play
Drinking hot water
To feel I can breathe
Orbiting forever
To live this short life
I left all my belongings
To fly to the sun
I cut all the threads
From forced spinnerettes
How lovely life is
When it begins again
Moved to the water
To be certain I'm alive
When it begins again
Lungs purged of dust
An end to suffocation
Breathing damp air
New spirit born from ashes
Coming back as fire again
To burn all the evils
I killed all my friends
To make my life easy
And I quit the sleep walk
To hide from the soulless
How lovely life is
When it begins again
Head shed my hair
An end to the play
Drinking hot water
To feel I can breathe
Orbiting forever
To live this short life
I left all my belongings
To fly to the sun
I cut all the threads
From forced spinnerettes
How lovely life is
When it begins again
Moved to the water
To be certain I'm alive
Violet From My Petals
The sky was bleeding orange
Stars waking for night
I pulled off petals of violet
And left them to grow
Night swallowed Earth
Damp and dark, no light
I walked to the forest
And peered from the edge
Midnight arrived slowly
Borne from dense trees of green
Moss gave me a bed
To rest skin and bones
Violet from my petals grew
Into the birth of the morning
I greeted the sun
And let eyes burn with light
Stars fell down into Earth
Forest bursting with colors
The ground opened to show me
My beautiful, free life
Stars waking for night
I pulled off petals of violet
And left them to grow
Night swallowed Earth
Damp and dark, no light
I walked to the forest
And peered from the edge
Midnight arrived slowly
Borne from dense trees of green
Moss gave me a bed
To rest skin and bones
Violet from my petals grew
Into the birth of the morning
I greeted the sun
And let eyes burn with light
Stars fell down into Earth
Forest bursting with colors
The ground opened to show me
My beautiful, free life
The Emerald
Light reflects
Off of the emerald
To guide me
Lotus of blue
In a warm sea of red
Glitter green
With ripe plants
To feed me
Pull off petals
Of sage and deep green
Salty air
Erodes not the emerald
To breathe life
Into hopeless eyes
On a wet forest ground
Moss grows
On the rocks
And on my body
Emerald green
And dripping with life
Life reflects
Off of the emerald
To guide me
To air I can breathe
In a suffocating expanse
Off of the emerald
To guide me
Lotus of blue
In a warm sea of red
Glitter green
With ripe plants
To feed me
Pull off petals
Of sage and deep green
Salty air
Erodes not the emerald
To breathe life
Into hopeless eyes
On a wet forest ground
Moss grows
On the rocks
And on my body
Emerald green
And dripping with life
Life reflects
Off of the emerald
To guide me
To air I can breathe
In a suffocating expanse
I'm Still Alive
Grass grows through my toes
As I melt into the Earth
She created the Sun
To sprout me to life
Eyes flower toward the sea
The salt scrubs my scars
And pumps my blood blue
Through my living heart
My insides stay glued
In a box near the water
She put it all there
To sustain my life
Taking some blood
Out of me to the ocean
To mix with the water
Of the Earth as it lives
As I melt into the Earth
She created the Sun
To sprout me to life
Eyes flower toward the sea
The salt scrubs my scars
And pumps my blood blue
Through my living heart
My insides stay glued
In a box near the water
She put it all there
To sustain my life
Taking some blood
Out of me to the ocean
To mix with the water
Of the Earth as it lives
Waves wash my skin
To clean all the cuts
Stinging a reminder
That I'm still alive
To clean all the cuts
Stinging a reminder
That I'm still alive
