Breath
The fresh air
Colors and blood
Ashes and dust

Inspite of beauty
Inspite of love
Inspite of blood
Inspite of it all

Dearly beloved
Ash to ash

-------------------------------

I'm sick
I'm sick
--------
The words
My speech
Clean
With no meaning
Mighty One of trust
Mighty One with a backwards thrust
Give my bones to you
Stick a nail in my eye
I give for you to take
Squeezing lemons for juice
Clouds and wind with no rain at all
Not a sparrow in the field dies
And you don't know
The greatest of lies is deep behind my eyes
The greatest of fools

I thought I found something I could trust
Bigger and better than me
I didn't
A need
Helping hand
I can't have
The friend
Deception
Dogs sleep outside
Its where we belong
Tuch someone else
Love someone else
Say pretty things to someone else
Take
Take
Take
Own possess
Truly liberate
Trickling stream
Flows from
The lies
Things that aten't true
never never never
never never never
Never never never
I;ll eat the Raven

Does she pray?  Am I prey?  The strength of reality demands honesty and this path is in a shovel...

Hey I loved this one.
It was kinda confusing at times, but that's what I like. I'm weird like that, I like things that make me think, even if I never understand what the writer's intentions were, I'll make up my own meaning. Loved it.

we could be friends like sharp teeth and nails

sorry for spelling like a third grader without a dictionary

cool poem! it was hard to get but when you finally get it it's really good.

Talent is like food! You shouldn't waste it.
