Empty Success | Expresso Mourning | Faerie

Empty Success

Silence
Stand in place of the ones I hear
Rotating backwards I contact the future
The slow circling three bladed nightmare
Glowing spheres only I can extinguish
Dancing with the bright eyes of the black-faced intruder
I watch the intruder as the eyes stare back at me
Nothing but black behind the fire red embers of the eyes
Only to switch places and watch nothing
Long for the day to be nothing no more
Striving to become the future
Lead the intruder past the spheres and into the whirling blades
Then dislodge his eyes and continue
Into another realm as nothingness stares at me
while I look downward into it
Through fiery dancing eyes that brighten up my face for all to see

Expresso Mourning

Early 3 a.m.
Don't know who I am
Only a lonely quarter spot
in the shiny vendor slot
Caffiene flowing
Always showing
Coursing blue veins
No more change
I think I'm going to cry

Faerie

Very merry 'twas I today
to spy a fairy out to play,
to sit enchanted with listless gaze,
and be a part of a fairy-day.

Fairy here and fairy yonder,
do they see me and do they wonder?
Nay! they do know, and do not quit,
that behind a tree I do sit.

Faring closer ever closer,
Fairies fairing forth.
Lovelier ever lovelier,
Oh! to know a fairy's worth.

Very sad 'twas I today
to see the fairies go away,
to sit and wonder in amaze,
will they think of me on their fairy-ways?

I stand and slowly head for home,
and cherish the time we spent alone.
And as at last I close the door
I glimpse a fairy off to play some more.
