Waking





Stay me this morning rise
The lush look of sleep upon your eyes
in shimmering lashes shone
The things I see in your rushed waking
Never were dreams more mine for the taking
And the dawnlight has given the guise
of two rounded skies
smiling upon 
this promise we're making
in heart
in stone

This City


I need something 
less than this city
less than this vast expanse
For I have roamed round you
but never found you
never more still

the grey azure water stopped 
the blackwell opened
and i saw you 
inside of my own shadow

have you always been there
around me
have you found me?

this vast city 
has held all of my dreams
this whole time
in this manifest destiny
i have made you
and you now
are my vast expanse
found

Revolutions



Petal to petal
Dust to dust
they fell around me
these roses
these rose coloured revolutions
always you spinning me toward the other
Until I am nothing but 
sugarpink spun thorns

too pretty to hold
too sharp to love
