Love has no expiration,
Merely a best by;
It can sour, it can sicken,
But it will never die.

Oblivion
Ever the same,
The days that drag on.
There’s anger and pain;
Love’s all that’s gone.
What is there to live for?
Ever the same,
The hours tick by.
What’s here that’s sane?
All I can do is cry,
But I don’t know who to cry for.
Ever the same,
The minutes say goodbye.
They say such things are tame;
But it takes only a minute to die,
So much longer to find something to die for.
Ever the same,
The seconds don’t ask why;
They never ask your name —
Only that you do not lie
When you face the choice that you’ve been waiting for.
Ahead
My sight goes further
Than my heart can bear.
I look ahead;
And lo! Despair.
What’s Left Behind
I have felt nothing
That could not be put aside:
Love is just stupidity
When you put away the pride.
Pride is only arrogance;
Kindness is a lie;
Selfishness the only truth,
And only there until you die.
I believe that I’ve felt nothing
That could not be put aside;
So then why is all this darkness
The one thing I can’t hide?
Reaction
Is it the goal of our lives?
Ever seeking reaction —
Never an act,
Never a leap,
Never an ounce of passion:
Just an inspiration
Of color in others’ faces,
Feeling in their eyes;
Nevermind if that feeling
Is what calls when love dies.
Basilisk
What claim can Cupid’s arrows have
To have triumphed through your armor
When you with but a devil’s laugh
Can lay waste to they who harbor
Such weapons as might penetrate
Your skin of sorrow and of scale
And with a look you seal their fate
Wrapping them in stony mail
Never more to strike at you
With beauty and with song
Never more to bid adieu
To the moments they were strong
There is only weakness now
Brittle, gray and dull
But if your eyes could only life allow
They would be fairest of them all.
Something Beautiful
I am trying to find the words
To tell you that you’re beautiful;
I am trying to find the words,
But the words, they will not stay.
Somewhere in this world,
You’ll realize that you’re beautiful;
Somewhere in this world
Is a place for you to stay.
Someone in this world
Can see that you are beautiful;
And that someone in this world
Hopes for you to stay.
Beauty of the Beast
We are warned away from love
For the broken and the damned
For though we offer all we ought
They can only bite our hand
And we never should be caught
By the beauty of a beast
For there is no such thing as fairy tales
Only the diner and the feast.
Requiem
I will see you there
Where the mountains meet the sea
And if life is ever fair
No fairer land there’ll be
Just wide open skies
And flowers far as we can see
And a lake that never dries
So long as you are there with me.
Some Things, the Years Do Not Change
What lofty words were spoken!
What gentle grace, what vibrant scenes;
Yet if you read them closely,
They’re still veiling the same things.
