Shooting Stars
I'm wishing on a star so bright
It's burning my eyes
Might be the moonshine
Might be losing my mind
I was never one for superstition
But tonight I'm wishin'
Wishing my life was as bright
As all that sparkling starlight
Wish my future held some hope
And my mistakes made me stronger
But that thinking's just to cope
With knowing you're burnt out
And it's not some glorious supernova
No, it's more like a hangover
And I know I shouldn't drink as much as I do
But it's to keep me from missing you

Under the stars and wish together

do not know
crimson-coloured
oxygenated blood,
they know
splattered ink;
words carved into
each cell,
letters in each
membrane and
my lungs only
know the wait between
this poem
and
the next.

When I'm Gone
A field this morning glows
While beneath the cold river flows
Church bell ringing from across town
While the sun is ready to follow me down
Hold on by yourself
Last a little while
Love this world
With a quiet smile
It’s my time to go
Grownup eyes in the face of a child
Shining out a fever bright candle
Lighting up the sky free and wild
It was nothing I could handle
Hold me in your heart
Hold on by yourself
Last a little while
Love this world
With a quiet smile
It’s my time to go
Bare branches out here scrape the sky
I know there’s no reason to cry
These times come and go
I’ll be down below
