The War Against The Sea

You say that only a fool believes that everyone has some good in their heart. 

You say that only a fool makes music in their mind.

You say that only a fool loves hate back. 

You say that only a fool leans against the wind. 

You say that only a fool takes on a planet.

You say that only a fool holds out hope. 

You say that only a fool tries to fly. 

You say that only a fool fights the sea. 

Very well. 

I am that fool. And I will die fighting.

  1. That makes me a fool too, but I'd rather be a fool than normal like the rest

  5. I have been such a fool, such a fool
    Burning wishes into the sky
    (I thought
    they smelled
    like hope)
    Weaving sentences and coincidences and miracles into
    the ghost of you
    Oh, I have been such a fool, such a fool
    Writing silent letters
    for stars with sightless eyes
    the happy ending unravels longingly
    the last sentence of a long story

    what never was,
    will never be:
    the heart's unfinished sentence

    All my love,
    All my heart,
    flung up inside the universe

    Always,
    (and goodbye)

  8. Maybe I am a fool too.
    Or maybe only a dreamer tries to fly... soar above all.
    Or maybe only a dreamer holds out hope... faith for the world.

  9. I'll rather be a fool than one void of all emotions and hope; I'll sooner be your fool, than just another .

  10. Hope is evil, trust me .... wishes are not.

    I have plenty wishes in the NOW.

  11. Oh, emotions? but you mean the ones you know,

    fear, anger, coldness, lust .... oohhh yeah ... must be that.

    Sorry but my favourite emotion is Romance.

  12. wariness is something people often confuse with fear

    I don't think I'm scared, just a fool

  13. I assure you that over the years - yes, amazing years since I was first lucky enough to discover the existance of you my love and adoration and affection has only grown exponentially. Not unlike a snowball rolling along down an equally snowy enormous mountain - gatherimg mass and momentum.

    I've since changed physically, emotionally and perchance even spiritually as in looking back into the past I find myself comforted to regard your entrance into my life as destined.

    You have me by your side. You always will. Oh, and also... I constantly think about the "somewhere unexpected." But you know me, so you know that as well as I do.

    Love,
    Me

    No that's not all... Dreams of us are my favorite dreams.

  19. You will not die alone. I choose to die with you. :-)

    Don’t build any more things
    with your heart’s hands.
    There is no more space in the wall
    and we’ve run out of frames.
    Don’t you realize
    they’re all going
    to fall apart,
    eventually?
    The floor is littered
    with countless remnants
    of creations
    you’ve fashioned
    out of blood, sweat and tears.
    Don’t you see
    there’s nothing here
    that isn’t broken?
    Aren’t you tired yet
    of being cut open
    by the same double-edged knife
    held by so
    many different men,
    of sewing yourself back up
    so you could be ready
    for the next one?
    The crowd has left.
    The museum is empty
    and there is no one
    to listen to stories
    of your latest sacrifices.
    The recent critiques
    have spoken:
    love is now outdated
    and nobody buys it
    bottled extra-virgin
    anymore.
    They want it flavored
    with something less pure.
    The last generation
    has died out,
    those like you
    who could drink it whole.
    Your faith disgusts
    all of them that are left;
    they claim
    untaintedness
    is a disgrace.
    So don’t
    busy your heart
    with any more heroic acts

    unless
    you’re willing to rebel
    and go against the grain
    of disillusionment
    and join us
    in the honest treachery
    of printing misleading names
    on the boxes
    and giving them love,
    unadulterated love,
    right when they’re convinced
    they’ve given away
    something of themselves
    in exchange for something
    entirely different.
