Life to me seems a joke,
this truth can’t be real.
yet,
so sure and ungracefully,
i’d held your hand for a while
strange how it felt so real -
i swear i was there.
flowers on the breeze,
i felt the sun beat on my neck
to have had
and
to have lost -
the same two sides
of a love’s great cost.
but
like i’ve read,
to chase such things
may
grace us with a snowfall in spring.
a shimmer in the light,
the gleam in your eyes
so cool and easy
u walked by with ur hair let down
cobalt is the sky,
venus at dawn,
this dream slipped from my hands
in a picture from the past
it’s hard enough
to wake each day
but it was
love
and it will still find a way
the chance is rare,
when it hits you hard
your heart is soft
it will leave it’s scar
if it hurts,
is it worth the pain?
loss & love are just one the same
and
like i’ve read,
to chase such things
may
grace us with a snowfall in spring

I’ll sit in my black sphere
of oil and glass.
i’ll think of all that i have known -
all i’ve known that has now come to pass
the world could be brilliant…
draped in gold.
i’m sick of all this bitterness,
all of your self-imposed self-neglect
but i have seen it all
in a half-light!
&
I have have seen it all
in a half-sight!
open up ur heart
to let somebody in.
it’s hard enough just to take the chance
and i’d be here for you.
i would, if you want me to.
you’d have no cause for alarm.
you gave me a flower.
i have it still.
i slid it in my pocket then -
a reminder of a life that could have been.
i hold it so dearly:
close to me.
a symbol of some other time,
a life that i’m not so sure i’d call mine
but i have seen it all
in a half-light.
&
i have seen it all
in a half-sight
though weird how her body glowed,
this girl called crystal claire -
she lived her life with the fear of loss
and times flows just one way
this ink will surely fade
with each night comes a new day
i know the pain is hard
but love is so uNreal
two things linked inseparable
in the ebb & flow of time
life is etched in sense
memories come back
one by
one

When you closed my eyes,
I saw nothing else -
A moment of a ~ dream ~
:: the place I wish to be ::
& what was left behind,
Shimmered Bright And Gold.
But I do not care…
I have 2 tell myself.
(Heavy Sigh)
Grown out of blue
Red in it’s hue
the Fire that kept Me drawn 2 You!
Lost in its warmth,
I felt alive -
“A moment of peace deep inside my mind.”
All things must pass,
like all things do.
it was nice,
but
I guess it’s not forever.
So I wake each day
and
I try to find
how to live a lie
without that false dream
I remind myself
of the life I live:
The thing’s I’ve found for me -
nothing 2 do with You.
…
Thoughts of you still
Spill into view;
They’ll never leave me
and I hope not from You
moving on
life can be new.
Now take what you’ve learned
and you’ll see it through.
even afterward,
love still lingers on,
i know it’s true.
i have you here.
You’re still with me.
but it can’t change
my beautiful place -
we always were
and we always will be
inexplicit.

To ~end up~ blind, alone with you ~there~ kills me.
I felt the decay wither at my crown.
At the ~end~ I ~begin again~.
Perplexity ensued when we ~came across~ that ~dead~ dog.
You asked me what I’d feel if you were ~gone… ~
How could you know that you’d ~own~ my heart?
This mark of three: ~ the eternity ~
~Waiting~ under those falls where we said I’d meet you;
strong and ~ sure~ his ideal of himself.
Bathed in white, prepared self-impressed;
Graceful strength, ~love won’t acquiesce~.
I’m ~here. ~
I’m ~ with ~ you.
I will ~always be right there.~
I ~ move through ~ the bodies
of some beauty and a love.
(singing)
Your mind convinced, you ~ think you know ~ who you are.
A golden listlessness surrounds your ~life ~ .
~ Believe~ the lie that you’ve told yourself!
~Be~ a vase to ~ withhold ~my soul.
I’ll ~ wait ~
just out ~ here, ~
in a sea the black depth
Fertile, this mare!
In a ~ death ~ there is life!
horses ~ run swiftly ~ ;
~ always ~ for
some hidden thing.
I’m ~ here. ~
I’m ~with~ you.
I will ~always be right there. ~

Thoughts of you and where you’re from
I dreamed of you and where you’ve gone
A dragon slips by on the skyline
An Iris alone in the sun
The fire in the sky burns brightly
Hell and heaven amalgam
Life lit up all neon like
I’ve seen this place a million times
It waits for me there in the distance
The one place I have left to go
I’ll meet you at the California,
I’ll have a new note
Please be real
This place I have found
Too good to be (this) true
I won’t make a sound
瞓醒至瞓覺,我都係諗住呢件事。
果陣時我見到一個黑色地方,其實係咪真㗎?
I close my eyes and hope I’m back
I see the view - it’s ”perfect black”
I’m sitting out there with you fighting
I loved you still & forever
I still taste the air as it rolls in
Please take me back there
I wake up,
Drenched in a sweat,
How did I get back here?
I am my own mirror
The place we found
Our holy ground
Then we said a hey lah
New colors & sounds
幾年之後,我繼續諗住嗰果城市。
我諗番我哋去左嗰D地方,坐船去海邊,夜晚行街,我哋一齊嘅話-定有少少魔術啦。
可能我哋就吾可以番去,不過我哋可以係心裡珍惜,好似我哋好耐之前聽咗首歌,只係俾我同你聽嘅。

(charmaine)
The rose it grows,
it’s thorns around my neck,
my voice is held back,
the colors fade black,
breathlessly,
(charmaine)
but now i hold,
hope for us still,
this beautiful thing,
the songs that we sing,
in harmony,
So I
reach
into
black
to hope
that someday
i will hold
the Lavender Hand of Fate
(charmaine)
through it all,
i know it’s out there,
the place of my own,
where the sunflowers grown,
peacefully,
(charmaine)
So I
Reach
Into
Black
to hope
that Someday
I will hold
The Lavender Hand of Fate
(charmaine)

THOUGHTS OF YOU AND THE THINGS THAT MAKE YOU
LINGER ON - THEY’RE LIKE GLUE, ADHESIVE
YOU’VE GOT AN AIRE,
A HYPNOTIC SHAPE
GIVE IT TO ME, LET ME HOLD IT
STUCK IN A DREAM BUT IT FEELS SO REAL -
IS THIS LIFE? TAKE ME WITH YOU
LOOKING PAST YOUR SHIELD, THROUGH THE A.T. FIELD
EMBOSSED IN A BLACK,
YOU ARE MY GREATEST
I’D SWIM THE DIRAC SEA, JUST TO GET TO YOU
I’LL LOVE YOU THE MOST
“10,000 YEARS”
THOUGHTS OF YOU AND THE THINGS THAT MAKE YOU
THEY’VE HELD ON - FOREVER, IMMUABLE
STUCK IN A DREAM BUT IT FEELS SO REAL -
IS THIS LIFE? TAKE ME WITH YOU

The moment I close my eyes
I see a vision made of you.
Cool in it’s small movements,
it is grateful through and through.
It’s like I’ve swimming great depth
and your beauty is the lake:
Prismatic with its spectrum,
it’s way too hard to convey.
~
When this all happen or am I still asleep?
A dream’s been made real for me - I hope it’s something I can keep.
It’s like I’ve found something I wasn’t really supposed to see:
Something so unreal, yet it rests in front of me.
The perfect shade of a Perfect Black,
Drips like ink out from a pen;
against the dark hang Seven Stars.
•
Lost - I can’t tell if it’s real.
I’ve tried so hard to feel;
separated from myself I cannot deal.
The loop:
the chain of gold that you hold is wrapped around me whole;
keeps me able, feeling like I’m in control.
~
This rarity is wonder, yet it’s happened nonetheless.
A gift in its own being, will forever still impress.
It’ s like a knife cuts through it and my heartbeat gets too quick.
Roses color flushes through me from your silver fingertips.
The perfect shade of a Perfect Black
Drips like ink out from a pen;
against the dark hang Seven Stars.
•
RARE - the sight of something like this;
Like a RED RAINBOW IN THE MIST.
How on earth could they be in my midst?
PRETTY, your hair tied back with a bow;
complicated through the grow of the sunlit strands of your hair’s silken flow.
GONE - my sight’s blurry and grey.
Without you here I will stray. In disassociation:
my life’s disarray.
HELD in the palm of your hand,
maybe then I can understand and finally find the strength to help withstand.

9. “Yamaha”
I’d been trying so long
To find that feeling now gone
& what I found was so bright
it still keeps me up at night
Chance can happen so fast
A life in two: a contrast
The pearl melted in my palm
It was “Made in Heaven” all along
All I want to do is look back fondly now,
I remind myself without it I was d e a d
I always close my eyes and dream that I’m back there;
Half alive, still breathing sweetened air
Soft & warm it was kind
But some things just don’t al ign
I still can’t believe what I saw
天国から、君は。
How am I supposed to live through all this now?
The avoidance, the fear; denial of the self
Living a life like that is such a fucking joke
To count imaginary numbeers all day long
Possibilities both endless and infinite
I took a chance to see if it would fit
To meet the messenger from the ends of the earth;
I remember you sick and dancing there.
