PRAETER NATURAM
what happened to the innocence we were promised?
suffered, bled, and died for that one true moment
throw those things away contrived and mistaken for achievement
we only seek what is real, what is true
reflection cannot suffice for our primary need
praeter naturam*
beyond all nature for all eternity
lost in the deadtime between now and forever
with all granted in due time
words sweetened with grace befall the unknown
as our hearts cry in unison
lips utter prayers as all innocence dies
unsuspected in this surreal moment
drop by drop our hearts bled stars
shedding light on truth
what belongs to us after this night
beyond all time, beyond all nature
granted beauty only as we fall
all will be forgotten then
and you...
primus inter pares**
* latin for beyond nature
** latin for first among equals
ONE LAST HOPE
one last fading glimpse of the beauty we shared
dying with the disease of time passing
our hearts bled innocence
and out lips cried forgiveness
we were all so beautiful then
but that time has now faded
faded into a day of malignant trust
avarice surrounded by chaos
intertwined with turmoil of uncertainty
can you hear them?
the stars are dying for us
bleeding one last dream
that we may join them
secrets held captive in your heart
you know that they don't deserve us
this time, this nature of beauty does not deserve us
we deserve dissipation into eternity
to stand alone in the darkness of the night sky
perhaps one day we will bleed our last dream
and cry one last tear for the beauty we once knew
perhaps one lonely night we will dream that they may join us
until then we only need our hearts.
