DROWNING FOR LIFE

AS NIGHT LOOMS ABOVE THE DARK WATER
YOU STRETCH OUT FOR LIFE
ONLY TO SIGHT
THAT IT REMAINS A TALL ORDER
REACHING, GRASPING, GRABBING, CRASHING
ENDLESS EFFORTS THAT LEAVE YOU DEAD,
GASPING,
 FOR THE BREATH AND THE AIR
THAT WAS ONCE PRESENT THERE
HAS NOW DISAPPEARED
LEAVING REMAINS OF DESPAIR
THE SOUGHT AFTER HOPE OF A LIFE NOT FOUND
MIRRORED ONLY THE FINDINGS OF A STRIFE UNBOUND,
DARKENING THE WATERS REFLECTING WHITE LIGHT
WITH ITS ROUNDNESS IN FORM
REPRESENTING THE PLIGHT
OH CONTINUOUS CYCLE, SHALL YOU NEVER END?
OR IN DEATH, MISERY, AND PAIN
SHALL WE ALL FIND FRIENDS?

Mariposa Amorilla

AS SILENT AS THE HUM OF YOUR WINGS
YOU SOLEMNLY FLY WITHIN THE BREEZE,
AT REST FOR ONLY A MOMENT IT SEEMS
FOR THE SAKE OF ONLY A TEASE

YOU LIE ATOP OF THE PETALS
WHO STRENGTHS ARE AS TRUSTING
AS HEARTS
FOREVER YOUR MIND BE UNSETTLED
DRIFTING AMONGST THE TWO PARTS

SUCH DIVINITY THAT COMES WITH YOUR SMILE
AS WILD AS THE BRANCH OF THE OAK
ENCHANTMENT YOU CAST YOU WITH YOUR PROWL
IN A LIFE WHERE YOU HOPELESSLY FLOAT

THE AIR IN WHICH YOU FLY AND OWN
IS AS FREE AS THE DREAMS YOU CREATE
AND THE PATH THAT YOU GO
ONLY YOURSELF YOU DO KNOW
AS FOREVER YOU FLOAT AWAY
