Forgotten Embrace

help me
as the cool sound flows down slowly
ebbing slower
fills my lungs
fills my mind
with
you
how ever
ever
Ever I Must
Submit
thrashing bout with such constraint
but even
even if I die
I'll find another piece of you
I dont know how you put up with me
your wrestless child
fightin you at every turn
to pull the briar thorns from my hands
and my feet
and my face.
Im here
Im just here Lord
I dont know what
I dont know where
but let my knees soak up the soil
from the tears that Ive shed
I'll just be quiet
even though I cant hear
I'll lay down
because Im failing off the bread of my own
and I cant do it any longer.
so quiet down
and please pierce my heart

oh darling dear
yes I hear
and though you may not
I will.
so broken
broken little flowers
all strewn about
did you think I have forgotten you?
Do you not remember my love ?
Did you think any any anything could seperate it
from you ?
You have forgotten

He comes to the forest
and picks me up again
and again
and so how I have forgotten His embrace
His wonderful touch
my wrestless heart
affords so much effort
so much fight
just let me be
here
for now
for now

Paper Plane Forest

now tell me dear
who this
who this me
she is ?
shut me down
put me inside paper airplanes
motionless
she wont get in and she wont get out
these two are not and three
for heavens sake we must not let it be !
Death past now and future
covered in congenial controversies
let some kind of words wash over me
knives and little colored splinters
Id go
oh Id go
but they wont let me
false insinuations grease all these gears
and I'll set this beast on fire
and she'll fail
she'll fall in burning cinders heaped upon the ground
in rubble we'll amass our losses.
I love it
and we'll make it loud
God the louder the better !
Who are you ?!
You ! Shooting paper arrows at me ?
I'll go down , dont you worry
and I'll live a hundred of these
when she drowns
and lovely little love
they wont let me go
let me go and live
but im afraid
as they sell my sails for measily tiny bids
and
and
and
as this atrocity ocurrs
she'll finally fail
falling down
maybe I wont sleep another night at all
as this
she intertwines
no no no
go away you dark death
you
you sister
I dont want it
you unquenchable love
heaping fire flame
cinder ashes taste so sweet
you deadly brother
spear and sparrow cross
how dare you speak alone to sister!
but... but ..but
darling dear
darling
you are
sister
