Our land is a sight of a testing breed
a busy sit down for a bitter need
a moon too full becomes opportune
this  brilliant star is open to suggestion
pinch it pinch it   till it develops manners
milk it milk it    till it succumbs to tears

Man  how can you slither in your honest chair
leather wears and comfort shares  
but limbo is ravenous
linger here and you will get high
   you should try
its like breathing without air
even this will go on without you here

a captive to words and opinions
living to lick the neck
rushing beneath the waves
unheralded it arrives
this novice form called Love

New lovers are nervous and tender, but smash everything. For the heart is an organ of fire

The last two stanza's were great, the first didn't really attract me. But I've saved it. And I loved it.

Hollow.

I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad. The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had. - Gary Jules, Mad World.
