John Leon

I used to own a paper plane
Long ago, it flew your way
I threw too short or not far enough
It brushed your hair and went away
...

Know nothing 'cause I learned something new
Knocking nowhere 'cause it's me and it's you
Killing noone 'cause there's so very few
King's never coming back,
...

How is it you've come 'round?
No mold was ever found
Nor maker to lay claim
To this priceless treasure, lost in name
...

Throw in the towel,
Hes had enough
It's just a game,
Its been played before, I'm sure
...

Cold consumes me at the tips
Of all my toes, my nose, my lips
Bitter taste of ripest lime
Locked behind tight skinny lines
...

If I knew what I was doing,
Wouldn't need any help
Here by myself
Stuck in this ditch again,
...

Your eyes, your eyes
See right through me
Your eyes, your eyes
Hardly knew me
...

Before this is through,
I'd like to see you
One last time
I don't see much of anything anymore
...

Mene
You don't know,
What you mean to me
I would trade,
...

Morrow brings no joy
Yesterday no comfort
Today is but a coy incident
Unwelcomed
...

Grasp with outstretched hands,
These unmanned reins
And lash with leather waves
The beast at the end of your leash
...

409 days without your love
because, because
Is it just because?
It never will be
...

Like tired statues on the wall
Who wait for nothing but to fall
I gather for the Earth to call
Among many things
...

The well is dry, so am I
Left without the sun's last shine
Gone beneath and left forever
Broken stone is all I level
...

In between, among the stream
The air is tight, the water clean
Of all infection, moss, and mean
...

You can't feel down when there is no up
In this special place of mine
Where planet Earth loosens her tie
And we leave our world behind
...

Standing by this window, still
Wondering, waiting,
Hope is such a fickle thing
She bends her head with arms to hold
...

Yellow streaks of lily pads
Float upside down in the lake bed
Rarely spoken a
Word without token to
...

Fine tuned to the sound of the ocean
Draped in foreign wears
Thrown into the wind with great caution
Beneath sky, and sun, and stares
...

No veil is worthy to shield such eyes,
That leave unworthies hypnotized
Forever daft and mesmorized
For 'till this day to dying breath
...
