go stand by the wayside
beneath the broken lamp
go in solitude
stand in silence
remain as midnight pass
when moons appear
‘twixt pillars of glass
close your eyes
hold your breath and
count the hour
release you thoughts
expand your mind
embrace the moment
under the stars
then follow the guidance
of your beating heart
Night oh night
The stars are bright the moon’s alight but not in sight
Fright, no, not tonight
Battered and bruised
Where?, they say, we don’t see a scratch
Where have I been
You haven’t been seen
Since autumn rain when the leaves faded away
I cannot see
I hear no sound
Of traffic passing underground
A tunnel long, no light in sight
Unstrap me now
Be gone my fright
Wake me up already
At last it’s night
No fright
Tonight
I have a voice
though its purpose
is unclear
If no one hears
my words
are they
words or
mere thoughts
in my head
If no one reads
my words
are they
wasted thoughts
and
the
time
better
spent
asleep
dreaming
of a voice that
can make a
difference
I opened the
wardrobe and
eyed the outfits
and picked the
one from
yesterday
Be be be, be my queen bee
I’ll be whatever you want me to be, be your bee, forever be your bee
Be your jelly in your cell, feed on me, your bee
Don’t be silly, tie me down and let me be your jelly, be free, just be my queen bee
Be be be, be my queen bee
My queen bee
B
What hope remains
for those among us
where years go past
before courage exceeds
the threshold of fear
to finally open
their hearts?
