complacent waters

She lulls me away.
Deep into the mysterious grey.

placid purity.

Nothing will taunt me. nothing will chase me. nothing will touch me.

...in your mysterious way...

Her gentle waves have wrapped me in a blanket of calm.

She turns my body deeper, deeper into the grey.

The crystal waters kiss the surface of my body.

My bones stay dry as rocks me away and away and away.

placid purity, purity, purity.

I tasted of your colorless mystery.

The sway, the sway of her tranqil way,

carries my mind beyond escpape.

purity. purity. purity.

It's easier this way.

Her mist beomes my veil,

the waters all I hear.

placid purity turns his blood grey,

life's easier this way.

The glass that covers your body will box your mind in.

Sleep through the ages, while the storm rages.

Sealed with the kiss of her mist,

your trials will cease to exist.

this is as rough as rough drafts get. but i dont know what else to do with this:

I left him behind.
Blood stained the checkered tiles. The deep red soaked his own fingers.
His eyes screamed as water shattered the clock's protective casing.

My clean hands reached through the stifling air as I escaped the crashing room of windows.
I left him behind, his river of red still screaming out my name.

Like a dead weight that I can't shake free,
the memory of your blood goes everywhere with me.

Yet I still ran with the most defined purpose urging my body forward:

Life.

If I was sure of nothing else, I was sure that I wanted life, whatever that could mean...whatever I could mean.
There was something left for me beyond this. It called me from some distance beyond my senses.




Still those clouds.
They roared after me, pouring into my bones.
They called me...ever so provocatively, louder than the life I sensed was so near.
I flirted with the idea of letting them pick me up and throw my limp body into the air.

Yet my feet continued to move forward.

I didn't even know where I was going until I saw the mist before me.
Those clouds groaned from the South. But I inched towards the Eastern side of life...

The moisture kissed my skin with a cool invitation.
