Cries of War
The clouding of hearts and the
Accompanying
Rising fear that settles like
A mist to obscure the views of
Better times and dreams past and future tense
Like dust
Like locusts that blot out the sun
These obstruct desires and intelligence alike
Vision an' plans an' thoughts an' streams
Consciousness
Accomplices I seek and the
Establishment of alibis for
Imminent crimes
Seeking kin akin for the time inevitable
When the mist rises
The dust settles and
The season of the insect
Declines
I will have weathered
Endured
Remain unaltered
The changing of the course of winds
Rains to baptize
Rising from the mire and dirt
Lungs filling
To let loose
Cries of war
Accompanying
Rising fear that settles like
A mist to obscure the views of
Better times and dreams past and future tense
Like dust
Like locusts that blot out the sun
These obstruct desires and intelligence alike
Vision an' plans an' thoughts an' streams
Consciousness
Accomplices I seek and the
Establishment of alibis for
Imminent crimes
Seeking kin akin for the time inevitable
When the mist rises
The dust settles and
The season of the insect

Endured
Remain unaltered
The changing of the course of winds
Rains to baptize
Rising from the mire and dirt
Lungs filling
To let loose

Rains
The rains when they come
Washeth all away
The sins and the dust from
Long journeys and dark works
Wash everything clean except
The joy the cool waters enable
Purity in the cold or
Calming mud in the grass
Embrace and be still
Parched throats no more
The heat and dry rash of fear
Banished in the torrent
Laugh at the skies and
Dance to the
Thunder and the musings
Of faraway gods
Prey you don't get lost in the
Lashing grey, however
Or too swept away
In the coming floods engendered
By the very life saving
Rains you celebrate
Washeth all away
The sins and the dust from
Long journeys and dark works
Wash everything clean except
The joy the cool waters enable
Purity in the cold or
Calming mud in the grass
Embrace and be still
Parched throats no more
The heat and dry rash of fear
Banished in the torrent
Laugh at the skies and
Dance to the
Thunder and the musings
Of faraway gods
Prey you don't get lost in the
Lashing grey, however
Or too swept away
In the coming floods engendered
By the very life saving
Rains you celebrate

Steam Rising Hearts Burning
You there I sense your peril
Me here I share your sorrow
Standing there I touch your face
Put an arm around your waist
You press your cheek against my shoulder
I am mute then start to stutter
As your tears roll down your nose
I stroke you hair begin to mutter
Silenced though by your kiss
A lifetime spent
Dreaming this
Intakes of breath
I bite your lip
Your fingers claw into my hip
Clinging to one
Each and other
Lips pressed tight
Our hearts devour
Calling and fearing and
Reaching and yearning
My tears and sweat all down my back
Your eyes all bright with
Intent attack
The searing heat between us
Illuminating us
Encapsulating us
Together
Steam rising
Hearts burning
Me here I share your sorrow
Standing there I touch your face
Put an arm around your waist
You press your cheek against my shoulder
I am mute then start to stutter
As your tears roll down your nose
I stroke you hair begin to mutter
Silenced though by your kiss
A lifetime spent
Dreaming this
Intakes of breath
I bite your lip
Your fingers claw into my hip
Clinging to one
Each and other
Lips pressed tight
Our hearts devour
Calling and fearing and
Reaching and yearning
My tears and sweat all down my back
Your eyes all bright with
Intent attack
The searing heat between us
Illuminating us
Encapsulating us
Together
Steam rising
Hearts burning
