All That IsWith hands and lips, a wordless sonnet sighed Upon my neck, his whispers form his verse. His kisses, subtle rhymes are there inscribed, A testament to my beloved curse. O, that his words could stay for all to see - O, that his poetry could claim me his! In secret, I will make my silent plea And bathe, and bask, and long for all that is.All That Is
What could have been has not yet come to pass, So I shall revel in my master's voice. Upon my knees, a worshipper at mass, I pray my god I'll be my master's choice. But prayers to deafened ears are just a waste, And worship ma

And I Thought of Your VoiceAnd it rode me. I wrote it.And I Thought of Your Voice
I thought of the things you said and I could not Help myself.
You bought a bottle of glue, Broke me, And we Pieced me together.

I do not feel guilty, I do not feel Regretful. Everything that should be done is Done.

It's been awhile. I'm glad you were still alive even when you disappeared on me. Though now I'm just hurt you disappeared on me...
What happened?

I would say that i embody certain symbols which then come out in my writing, sometimes completely subconciously. Off the top of my head, these are:
the moon
omnipotence/god
daylight
water
children
dew
cigarettes
dusk
and the stars.
