mild observer

on rooftops, near the escarpment
near the lake
you can see above
and below
in the middle of them
atop windy rooftops

the trees on the cliffside
blowing what few leaves remain
down towards you
passing by
tumbling to the lake
beginning to freeze

as the wind picks up
the cold numbs your toes
putting you off balance
you stumble
but catch yourself
so you sit down
in between the highs and lows
as the seasons changes

crescent harbour

you took me to the harbour
on a crescent moon
in the middle of september
it was as hot as june
i wished upon the moonbeams
to give us better sight
i just held you closely
as we gazed into the night
never seeing our reflections
in the dark waves below
just the ships in the bay
unloading their cargo
the echoes of laughter
from children afar
swans paddles by us
as we gaze up to the stars
the glow from the city
emerging in the skyline
reaching to the night
as we remain on the coastline
these nights together
move by fast
maybe on a full moon
the night will finally last

love sync

i haven’t seen you in weeks
so i decided to walk the streets
to get you off my mind
only for me to find

these

synchronized lovers in the snow
everywhere i go
synchronized lovers in the snow
where do i go

no matter where i look
at the park, near the brook
spread around town
it just puts me down,

seeing the

synchronized lovers in the snow
everywhere i go
synchronized lovers in the snow
where do i go

as i tread back to my home
softly crying alone
i just raise my eyes to see
no one hears my plea

to stop these

synchronized lovers in the snow
everywhere i go
synchronized lovers in the snow
where do i go

synchronized lovers in the snow
everywhere i go
synchronized lovers in the snow
where do i go
far away
far away
from the winter here

battery

my battery drains when i’m around you

using me up tried and true

if you charge me up at the end of the night

you can come see me again, with the morning light

i’ve got my highs 

my low lows too

you make me conserve

last the whole day through

i’ll help you with any task

that comes to mind

traverse through the city

with our forces combined

we can share moments

until we live for the night

as the stars come out and play

go the undiscovered way

so just take me home

plug me in

it’s like i said

we can do it again

when i’m around you

my battery drains

so charge me up

electricity in my veins

see me again

with the morning light

gills

the lights burnt out,
hasn’t flickered for weeks.
my eyes dried out,
haven’t been able to sleep.
i threw it away,
the love you gave to me.
here I am,
waiting for the sunrise again.

wait for me,
the last new moon has come and gone,
so it won’t be long,
till my heart begins to beat.

the window is chipped,
moon beams get fractured and bleak.
my mind crashes,
too many thoughts speeding by in my head.
yet here I lay,
trying to figure out your words again.

wait for me,
the last new moon has come and gone,
so it won’t be long,
till my heart begins to beat.

the better parts of you never wore off on me,
as far as I can tell,
broken bones and fire escapes were free,
for the last few months,
i’ve wondered why it is that I just can’t breathe under the sea.

wait for me,
the last new moon has come and gone,
so it won’t be long,
till my heart begins to beat.
