Reasoning

Why do you give them false reasons to believe you, 

When we all know what you did?

Why want a war, the end to so many lives?

For what?

Land you don't need?

Land you want, that others cherish as their own?  

You loomed over their country for years, as many tried hard to ignore you, 

A forbidding shadow eventually causing grief and panic. 

No one believes your reasoning. 

No one ever will.

    what do you do when you cross the sea without me? 

    on this warm night, I stand outside in the blue dark. 

    I wear a bathrobe over my pajamas 

    and old crocs that are faded purple 

  • pearls

    it's almost night on the Tyrrhenian Sea 

    homes glow like stars on the cliffside 

    and waves of green lap against the side of the boat 

     

    there is a storm approaching, 

  • eyes of a stranger

    there is something about those eyes that kept me chained to this love

    for they seemed to be the first that I couldn't see right through

    as if rather than a window to your soul

    they were a wall.
