The deer ambled as they gracefully meandered towards the lake ahead
The largest of the deer stood closest to the shore
It stretched its neck back and forth
Flexing the joints and muscles it had used to bring it to this lake
It looked to the sky and craned its neck forward
Seeing the reflection of the mountains in the lake
The water glistened as if it was life itself
It plunged its mouth and nose in and drank
Consumed with reward
The water it had walked so long for

Kade inhaled slowly through his nose
Feeling his chest rise towards the bow before him
The steel tipped arrow glided through the air
Finally free
The arrow had been drawn all day
Waiting
Poised to strike

The arrow sailed through the leaves
Leaving behind small circular holes
Before sliding in and resting
In the warm still mass
Of the deer's skull

We spent time
Beside the pyramids
In the light of the full moon
We slept
Next to wolves
And shared what we consumed
It felt just like a dream but I knew it was the truth
For who denies some god making stories in my room

I roamed the sand towards your land
The winds carried proof
Of oasis just beyond
The river of these dunes

I failed to say
And I was vague
But know that when I met you
I could not be slain
In night or day
But I did it to protect you

It’s awkward
And it’s fragile
But I gave it
To you too
For death disrupts
The poems of this room

And when no blade can mark your flesh
But slaughter if you choose
We spent our time about the poor
When Kingdom was to rule

Gold
Is made
For brutes

And silly folks with nothing
Have own hearts to fool
But scales perched on Au
End as alone as you

That key is lost in nowhere
But the lock is drifting too
Snakes grow grey
Natures of the two

When I'm a skull I will be
Resolute
But by that time it will be
As late for me as you

You're there
In the corner
Your hood's up
Your face seems long

Sorry I stayed up so late again
I like the start of the day
And I like dawn

I've thanked you
and hate you
Lurking in my head
Scythe and all

Why’d you do it
In the end
Times were good
But no need to be gone

Still light
A cold moon
Fires coals
Gone too soon

Blue light
On a window
By the end
All are widowed

Now and then
Seemed so different at the time
Now and then

That dress was green
And made of satin
Your eyes were brown
Up in your castle

I saw your spells
And I was trapped in
For every word, goes dull
Without practice

My eyes were red
I’m merely saddened
You read some stories
What happened after

I was sure
But I imagine
Which is why
This is past tense

Glad I woke to a half pack of cigarettes
Looks like I won’t go outside today
I saw more than I’d ever imagine
As a boy
Playing sims all day

Evey got that letter from Valerie
Folks wrote OpenSSH
And anything now that comes after
Won’t be the same as those days

Left the stapler
On the keyboard
You can get loads of free cash that way

It wouldn’t work now
If you tried it
But I’d love to show you
The place I’d made

That dress was green
And made of satin
Your eyes were brown
Up in your catsle

I saw your spells
And I was trapped in
For every word, goes dull
Without practice

It was a Tuesday I think in 2033
Whisperings of zombies showed up on tv
People were worried but skepticism barked
For it was only one sighting
And it was far and in the dark

Now it's New Years parties on the eve of thirty four
Substance and music are what people showed up for
A clock struck twelve and something happened by a chance
A twist of fate would surprise this yearly dance

For in an instant droves showed up covered in blood
Limbs hung from bones and teeth fell where people stood
The people felt helpless and many thought they'd die
But the eve of this year harbored a puzzling surprise

These zombies were odd as they didn't want to bite
It seems it wasn't brains that brought them out that night
The world was in chaos but by a twist of chance
All these zombies truly wanted was an
Uninterrupted dance

At first folks were unsure sure it felt a little odd
To dance beside corpses with their skin rotting off
But once people learned that they could each have a crowd
Zombies turned into the best folks you could have around

Now its 2043 and all the living are gone
They got bored took spaceships to the great beyond
Space was good but earth stayed the best
With the undead dancing until the sun saw its death

Scars on my side
Ain't from a knife my dear

There’s crystals inside
Be there
When I die
Dear

When I can’t write
Part of me dies
So near
To you

Tip of my tongue
Wall with a gun
But no use
To you

Smeared some drops of blood on the sphynx in the square
Was stolen long ago
But I hope it knew I cared

That quarry came from somewhere
And it might be stolen too
Shoulders of those giants
Are all we seem to do

Scars on my side
Ain't from a knife my dear

There’s crystals inside
Be there
When I die
Dear

Roll it on by
The world's an eye
And you
Are too

When my bones are dry
I hope I was right
But who knew
