lions inhale

..and when the lion came out to gaze afar
the great lands were barren to the highest star
so the lion proceeded to make everything his own
all from the richest jewel to the coldest stone

the most destructive things have an attractive look to them

chase me down and crush my bones as you pick me up with your fingertips
lift me miles over the clouds, in line with the sun, and proceed to let me go
awaiting the waiting waters below, i will draw last breaths from my lips
i will stare at the surface as it fades away, and with the current i shall flow
you can not find me here and i will be a mystery to anyone who ever cared
it is cold but the weightlessness has me at ease and i am calm, so calm
you would not believe the wondrous sights that amazed me and left me scared
and i think that my breath is running out, but i will stay still like a bomb
leave me be and i will go off when the time is right
it will leave you in awe, it will be quite a sight

i am the snow and you are just fire

the winter breeze leaves your lips chapped
your hands constantly rubbing for warmth
with a fire raging inside your home, trapped
your hands eased over the fire for warmth

i am walking my own trail
leaving everlasting footprints in the snow
i noticed everything around me in complete detail
as i make my way slowly, through the snow

tomorrow the weather will be colder
the downfall of snow will be thicker
you will be clumped up in your room
shivering over a nasty bit of fire
and i will be freezing myself in peace
surrounded by the beautiful snow

alone

you might be at my side, but i am still alone
alone with my thoughts, alone without a cause
by myself on a mighty throne made of stone
away from the ground, from where i have flown
minding my own business, letting myself go
throwing everything away and hoping it will show
the many simple mistakes i have yet to atone for
alone and in complete peace, to where i have soared
