- Pity on Paradox
-
-
- There are sweet fields of grass made savory with tears,
- Wildflowers sown and growing on confused hearts.
- There is but pain over every hill and in every gully,
- And there are living feelings breezing on every slope.
-
- There are places inside which cry, and places which smile,
- Faces in shells of loneliness, tumbling around trapped,
- Pierces through shadows on white cracked peeling walls
- Pity on paradox, black blood spilled by pumps of loss.
-
- There are waves of passion and then they are gone,
- Alone at last, got that one good, then there is sour.
- Start again sure to go but what when it doesnUt?
- Pain is surely everywhere, respite a distant trifle.
-
- There are fields of grass made bitter with salty tears,
- Wildflowers trying but dying on confused hearts.
- There is pain over every head and in every skull,
- And there are lost feelings breezing through every soul.
