The Star-Peddler"Sir, madam, have you ten cents to spare?"
The star-peddler's call was everywhere
Mittened hands reached out to accept
The young peddler's wooden stars.
Snow, so silver, twinkled down
Bathing all in pure white crown
And the star-peddler, dressed in rags
Continued down the bustling street.
But there was a tug. Pleading eyes
As blue as the yet-to-come spring skies
Asking for a star, but no coins to offer
To make a sick mother happy, at home.
The peddler was reluctant, but there was no reason
A voice told him: It's the giving season
And so the peddler gave a boy a free star
And noticed that the receiving hands were bare.
The boy turned away, to head back again
But the star-peddler warmly stretched out a hand
And pressed a second wooden star
Into the boy's shivering arms.

Four streets down, and two blocks across
A maternal figure turned and tossed
Feverishly, helpless in bed
When a small, warm hand enveloped hers.
A whisper was passed; some kisses were shared
And her fingers touc

Heartbeat TearsThe gray cotton clouds,

They let out a sigh

The rain trickled out,

The tears of the sky

And I watched the panes

The silvery panes

As the tears of the sky pounded down.

The gray cotton clouds,

They let out a roar

The thunder yelled out,

"Oh yes, let it pour!"

And I watched the panes

The silvery panes

As the tears of the sky pounded down.

The gray cotton clouds,

They let out a flash

The lightning struck out

With a bright golden lash

And I watched the panes

The silvery panes

As the tears of the sky pounded down.

March to the beat,

The beat, the beat

They marched to the beat with a sigh,

March to the beat,

The beat, the b

Chemical TearsLiving under the wires
Blue fires
And nothing real
Burning with
A desire
To dominate the world
Nature waits for us to come to our senses
But we refuse
Forget the past
Because in the future
We'll only be able to cry...
Chemical tears
   Chemical tears
Then we can only cry chemical tears
Chemical tears
   Chemical tears
Warning bells ring but we can't seem to hear
TICK, TOCK, TICK, TOCK,
TICK, TOCK, TICK, TOCK
Building life out of metal
While murdering
Sky and sea
Waging war across continents
Leaving nothing
In one piece
Nature waits for us to come to our senses
But we refuse
Forget the past
Look to the future
We'll only be able to cry...
Chemical tears
   Chemical tears
Then we can only cry chemical tears
Chemical tears
   Chemical tears
Warning bells ring but we can't seem to hear

Chemical tears
   Chemical tears

ForwardTurn from the light
See the shadows that are reality
Is the light just an illusion?
A fantasy? A dream?
Can't remember the last time
A fantasy dared to embody truth
A dream dared to come alive
Do you believe? Do you believe?
It's a world full of mirrors, a world full of masks
It's a world full of turns, dead ends, and traps
Back at you, back at you
Blinding rays of light
Blinding fantasies. Blinding dreams.
Take a step forward
Forward, forward
The mirrors mock me
Mirrors, mirrors, mirrors
The masks obscure
Masking, masking, masking
They're gone and the
Mazes, mazes, mazes
Refuse to pull you through
Can't remember the last time
A fantasy dared to embody truth
A dream dared to come alive
Do you believe? Do you believe?
It's a world full of mirrors, a world full of masks
It's a world full of turns, dead ends, and traps
Back at you, back at you
Blinding rays of light
Blinding tears. Blinding flames.
Take a step forward
Forward, forward
Don't forget what you'll love and miss

Mirror ShardsFled the mirror, afraid to see
The ghost of who I used to be
Turned on the lights, but all to be found
Were the shadows growing more pronounced
The stars are cruel; they reflect my plight
In all their glorious silver light
Shards of mirrors that I'd shattered
Up in the darkened sky they'd scattered
And they're framed by the moon
The proudest piece
Of the puzzle, in the sky
Bright and shining
Optimistic
Ever so withdrawn and shy
I didn't know you,
But the moon was always
The brightest light within the shards

This one's for ~kirakirafox

HAPPY HOLIDAAAAAAYS~

Lucida Horizontum is Latin for "bright horizons" ^^

Personal note~
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ^^ this one started out really horribly, then I played with the color and was like WHA-LA, [insert your real name here] SHOULD LIKE THIS

...so yeah X3

So it's supposed to be like a horizon thingy...but I'll leave it open to interpretation. It represents the essence fabric of dreams and awesomeness ^^
