Cabin pressure critical.
Flying home with borrowed wings
On the wrong side of the glass —
Destination anywhere,
There's no rush.
I'll see you when we get there.

Chapters of a single page,
Pages with a single word —
Volume can't determine meaning,
Meaning does not dictate worth.

"Who," said the owl,
Even though it knew —
If only I had known too.

Can't burn
A bridge you never cross,
Can't lose
What you don't hold.
Cannot fail, cannot get burned
If you don't try, but what's the use
If it destroys your one shot
At happiness?

Eternalized, digitized,
Nostalgic for when
Dead meant dead —
When memories were fleeting.

Stand,
Don't hover beside me,
Lest your heart lies elsewhere.
Show me meaning —
No words, just feelings —
Or set yourself free.

The less I grasp,
The more I ask.
The more I try,
The more I master.

Don't stop before it's over,
Oh misery composer —
'tis but one bad note
In a golden requiem.

Try so long as
Time persists,
Fail until
The failure ends.

Desperation —
When necessity
Dictates priority.

Happiness holds
The short end
Of prosperity.

Farmers toil,
Knights fight,
Fools dream.

How long can alarms sound,
All countdowns at zero —
Can danger compel
Those who no longer care?

Reflections of reflections
Interposing fiction and reality —
Art for art's sake
Projecting moments yet to be.

What if time,
Like space,
Has three dimensions,
Of which we've learned
But one?

No second chances —
Just a clock striking zero,
A calendar striking one.
No resolutions —
Mere hope that we're done
Making poor decisions
From this point on.

They may walk us
Up to the threshold,
The last step we take
Alone.

Children playing grown-up games,
Rushed through youth, taking places,
Making choices, casting votes
On matters already decided.

By many hands,
In one name,
Deputized killer saints —
Thy kingdoms come
To me.

Breaths away from heaven,
We feel closer
To the distant stars.
