Even the insect
Green, excited and nervous
Is most poetic
As he lands firmly
Near to me, one thing he knows
My poetic prose
Such gorgeous ramblings
Have we, he'll spout, grammar-less
Need-less, filter-less
Even the insect
Green, excited and nervous
Is most poetic
As he lands firmly
Near to me, one thing he knows
My poetic prose
Such gorgeous ramblings
Have we, he'll spout, grammar-less
Need-less, filter-less

Please never cower
Flight is just to capture your
Imagination

Wishing beyond hope
The back of my soul be burned
With all that you'd said
We kept holding hands
I clinging and you dragging
One day we let go
Unheard and angry
Misunderstood and tuned out
Nothingness finds you
The Constellations
I've need to unravel Them
To disclose the stars
For me, sell pencils
For me, protect our small space
For me, be present
Even they, the ghosts
Look to the light, so they'll know
How beauty best haunts
Her heart in command
Whether days be bright or dark
She walks forth in truth
The flowers watch her
She shows them color and strength
They follow her lead

All we think we need
Does nothing to redeem us
And cheapens our minds
