Best I Ever Had

So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring

Nothing's quite the same now
I just say your name now

But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't want me back
You're just the best I ever had

So you stole my world
Now I'm just a phony
Remembering the girl
Leaves me down and lonely

Send it in a letter
Make yourself feel better

But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't need me back
You're just the best I ever had

And it may take some time to
Patch me up inside
But I can't take it so I
Ran away and hide
And I may find in time that
You were always right
You're always right

So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring

What was it you wanted
Could it be I'm haunted

But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't want me back
You're just the best I ever had

Love Letter

I wrote a message of my love, to give to my Beloved
While the adoring full moon was attempting
To engrave a melody on the manifold clouds
In the pallid silence of the night;
A letter that could not be perceived or deciphered
By the naked eye, on the resplendent pages of
The heart, overwhelming with endearments.
With a pen of my imagination and the blissful
Reminiscence, quivering in the mind.
I wrote it as a garland of musical sounds:
My desires, without you knowing it, my Beloved.
You have dissolved in me already like
The fleecy clouds hugging the sky;
Your smiles settled in me like waves
Of ecstasy in the ocean, embracing the shore.
And now that budding love unaware among us 
Will encompass as the spring blossoms

An Ode to the Heavens

Oh sky of fire and ice
Why do you tempt me so?
Those million points of light
Places, vast oblivions I can never go.
I may yearn, and scream at the coldness of the void
But in the end we rage briefly and then we pass
Stars, worlds, men, the space devoid
Entropy will come at last
A billion upon a billion of infernos
Roaring in unimaginable fury
Raining fires and methane snows
All wonders I can never see.
In the face of the infinite we turn aside
We watch with the eyes of an insect upon the rushing sea
We watch as suns go out and galaxies collide
For it is all we can ever see
