Too

Too old for some
Too young for others
Too much for everyone

When will sleep come easy
When will daybreak fill
Tonight is long, yet fleeting
I am stretching and forgetting
I am chained and disappearing

Want You

I miss you
We used to talk, now we
Don't seem to
Look in our eyes at all
I miss you

I see you
Walking by thinking, holding onto something
I don't have access to
You're distant, the way that
I see you

I know you
Might not realise, even criticise me
From nonchalant to wary. I might
Want to show you, know you - but -
I don't.

Me And I (MAI)

In denial for a million years
The truth has come unsprung
When working death and hidden tears
No longer works for us
Now just one

You came and went, I could not bear
The abandon, the rejection
So you stayed for me, but life's not fair
And you buckled in the union
Though your last breath will still defend us

The clash was subtle but now so loud
And it is almost over
When the haze departs, there'll be no sound
Just a mess, with void to offer
Me and I, we are together

Tight Rope Balance

There you go on another
Where does that let me go
When I thought we would fight it together
You left me

I chose to sacrifice
Now what have I got to show
Titles and badges, oh what an honour
Oh what a circus show

A Human Condition

Chain thyself to norms, efface
The surface hide the core
'Neath the shell are colours more
Than any ever saw
And will they ever see?
Do they want her?

Change to inward lies, erase
Self and cage the flight
On display the plumage dies
With liberty denied
In the future between her hopes
Will they see her?

[no title yet]

Time speaks for none, it relies
On your body. For it to change and
Your age to show. When to do the lines grow
From seeds long lost and
In cracks will fall the frost. It is soft
And dissolves in the ocean
Bite chill at pole, bathe warmth in summer
Cycles down one after another. Whether
They run faster or slower, only you can ponder
But for sure the times gone are forgotten
When to new plans one does focus.
They are far, but
Getting closer.

Fright

You were there - I saw you sparkling
It was wonderful and unforgettable
In my eye you splayed the colours - melodious, undefined

Then I turned and they were gone, now
Your face distorted so - when did you
Change? Why and confusion. Drop!

And I turned and else became
All the colours running away
And I chase them, but they stop.

At me they show their teeth!

The Water

On and on
Flow currents 'round the rim
Of oceans least specific
Like their crashes with the air
They
See
Creatures in the sky
Crawl on plains and float between
Then there's twilight further seen
Oh, beyond the rainbow sky
Expansive world with seasons
And on occasion heats the earth
Below the deepness falls away
Such in night you might forget
Where you are
If
It
Were not for gravity
Holding and caressing
Guiding wavelets' way
Dancing two partners
The air
The earth
And in between is
The water.
