    so be nice!!
    okay its old, and needs work.
    I wrote it in 2002, when I was very sad-
    here it is:

    "Star Bound"

    The clock's hands run lazy
    Life is dripping on hard-wood floor,
    And water keeps flowing
    warm like a tropical honeymoon.

    Contemptous eyes grow hazy
    as the waves roll by
    in crimson-red streaks.

    Peace becomes a knife
    held by self-rightiuos hands,
    entangled by blue liguid sky.

    The water transforms to a sufficating blue,
    A drip slashes the surface
    creating slow flowing images beneath the wave

    It dances with am erie somnolence
    Like a newly weds first kiss.

    The clocks hands are at final rest
    during these moments
    decades of life have passed within seconds
    while everything that is real has stayed exactly the same

    This day is now eternal darkness.
    suspended-
    as tree limbs in the blackened sky,
    your face
    is remembered-
    your face
    is captured-

    forever

    In the rapturous-
    unforgiving bleakness
    of a misshappen star.

    ohhh girl... that is lovely, just like you...

    especially

    'This day is now eternal darkness.
    suspended-
    as tree limbs in the blackened sky,
    your face
    is remembered-
    your face
    is captured-

    forever

    In the rapturous-
    unforgiving bleakness
    of a misshappen star.'

    it is very very good, I love the imagery i am gettting while reading it, and the mood was very strong
    coulda flowed a lil' smoother, but it's still great
