Romeo and Juliet

Rain had gutted the top of the tower
As to make the gargoyles seem that much more menacing;
The sound of slats slipping could be heard of miles over,
But a man’s mind is muddied by a myriad of things.

For just down below you could see poor Romeo,
Rutting up the romances he’d written last night
In a fit of prim passion, like the wind that blows
Warm breeze in the winter under rare sunlight,
And like a leaf that rarity opts to levitate,
His heart too was ventilating not so mildly:
Thinking thoughts of Juliet that his cool couldn’t sate,
His crotch too was crooked- ‘twas stretching violently. 
Regardless of his Australia he had much to say
About the things that in his heart was going down;
Under the tower’s shade where no gawkers could stray
He’d soliloquize a tempest that’d make her drown.

And as she appeared out of nowhere, out of dreams,
The last thing that he heard was the shrill sounding scream.

Rain had gutted the top of the tower
As to make the gargoyles seem that much more menacing;
The sound of slats slipping could be heard of miles over,
But a boy’s brain is bashed in by more bountiful things.

I was a drop of water but now I glisten

I always thought I was such a modern kid
Always in chime with what pop stars used to think
Out of tune never focused in all stuff new
Glitz gold and glamour I dreamed of
Till I met you

You sat there engrossed in what books you would read
A new one every day I thought you a freak
Or maybe a pretentious snob slyly showing off
I could not understand but you hounded my thoughts
I wondered
How could one be so unconcerned of rocks in the sea
Of social pretensions and behavior expected of you and me
We're kids we're not meant to be so learned regardless of what teachers say
They want us to try our best but distrust when we cross their dismay

I thought I understood how the world worked
Revolving silently while giving no fucks
What we could hold in our hands only that we should love
Yet you chased dreams that I had never heard of

Claiming you'll make something immortal of life
The things you see ingrained in your innocent mind
What you saw with your eyes I could never see
All I could see were waves of disorienting beliefs
Yet still you 
Worked for what you wanted and were always first in class
While I was always concerned with how the boys saw my ass

All of a sudden you held me in your arms
I never thought that something like this'd come to pass
You kissed my lips while calling me Beatrice
Then said she died and called me Lotte instead
Oh all the poetry you bewildered me with
I never understood but it touched me it did
I was so happy even when I was sad
In bliss and misery you always made me glad

I always thought I was such a modern kid
In tune with feelings that the others kept hid
But while I was chiming I let you slip away
To one of those "art" type girls that could hold your gaze

I should be sad but I feel happy you've found
Someone who can meet you on an equal ground
As for myself I'll try to find a dream for me
That'll make me sweat when I wake and sleep a sound sleep
Maybe I'll catch up to you one future day
We'll meet as friends and rather than clashing like waves
We'll flow together like the rainbow instead.

In It's Right Place

As I grow older

I want to remember

All the precious moments in my life

That made me stronger

But as I grow taller

And as I falter

I won’t forget the dreadful moments

That made me weak or

All the tears I’ve cried

All the fears I’d hide

Let them grow sharp as the sun

And roll me over

The field of life

Be careful of the rye

There’s a fall there in the distance

But still play as you like

I’ll always protect you

I’ll never neglect you

You always said that but now I feel I finally believe you

Dreams are special but no matter how sweet

How beautiful a landscape with the right heat

Or how comfortable, they can’t replace

The warmth I felt when you held me in your embrace

And now I realize how right you were

You always are
