Nations

Oh, sorrow!
Your eyes to the ground
Or stolen by sleep

When I did descend
Upon you
From above

I lingered and was gentle
I hoped, that you should see
There’s need

Wrestle with me
Afflict me
Bless me

In Love

It isn’t
It can’t be
It is though
And will be

A lifetime
Of melting
Of twisting
And cracking

I want out 
I want in
The all-heart
And tough chin

No side-step
No fast-track
I’m left here
And staying

Percival

If perfect had a conscience
If brilliance became kind
There would be no turmoil
There would be sound mind

When you bid what haunts you
When you draw it near
You will save the starlight
You will cause the clear
