There are pyrophytic plants
They need fire to seed
I would argue
Some humans have shared in this need - rAveNswAn

Area grey
Area grey
To deny it is
To lose your way
Lost along the borders
Of black and white
Wrong and right
Day and night
When all you need
To find your way
The path that takes you
Area grey - rAveNswAn
Don’t worry about falling
Down the spiral stairscase
Worry about not trying to climb
Because only from one of its
106 stairs
You’ll find the best you
The best you there is to find - rAveNswAn
Ok, so yeah, I have to admit my anime eyes look kinda angry. It was my first attempt…let’s call it, Take 1.
Annie Mae
Annie Mae’s eyes
Annie Mae’s got
Anime eyes
And as big as they are
Is as big as she cries
But oh when they’re dry
My soul can’t hide - rAveNswAn
Then it stops at the top
So close yet so far
But I swear I can plot
My name in the stars
Trace my name through a constellation
Of stars - rAveNswAn
Over the years
Their paths cross
As frequent as chance allows
To herself, enough, she vows
As if woven into the fabric
Of a love that was never lost
Their story is the thread
Neither holds the needle
Only the eye of the needle can see
Their story unfold through time as fed - rAveNswAn
Come on wind
Stop calling her name
And I can’t bear.to see her face
So blow some clouds on the sun - rAveNswAn
To save them all from _ictory
To lead them on to victory
Though now in the present
My duty to present
The past this present
To them, from me
I give the “V” - rAveNswAn
Look out
Oh no
I’m in my car
And I’m driving solo
Living life by the Edge
Music loud
And I’m puttin’ on my best Bono - rAveNswAn
Just spent some time visiting my family in California. Had an amazing time with them…and it does not matter what we are doing to be able to say so, only that we are together.
Rural road
Post autumnal equinox
Touring
Catch a glimpse
A hidden trail
Between fields of stalks
Cornfield walls
Surrounding meandering grassy walks - rAveNswAn
Not a flash in the pan
Won’t let it slip through our hands
Today’s gonna end
But we’ve got bigger plans
We’re in it long term
Time flies
Count the sands
Baby our love is a slow burn - rAveNswAn
I used to think
My game was with you
But now I look around
Every ball I see a cue
In the blankness of their faces
All I want to see is you - rAveNswAn
You’ve looked under every chair cushion
Scoured every square inch of the floor
Dug through all coat pockets fishing
Even checked behind every closed door
You’ve lost your keys
You’ve lost the keys to your heart - rAveNswAn
Hey moon
What’re you hiding
What have you got behind your back
What dark secrets have you kept
Don’t want you to leave
But won’t you turn
Please won’t you turn your back on me
I just want to see
So give your shadow a turn
And turn your back
So I can see
What dark shadow secrets
You’re keeping from me - rAveNswAn
The prior
A Picasso on the side
A flaming sack of doo
The latter
The bucket of water
At the ready to put it out
Not what you say
But what you do
Which are you? - rAveNswAn
If eloquence a fruit
Doesn’t make its juice the truth - rAveNswAn
The sun
The truth told in open fields
The moon
The lie
For no light it yields - rAveNswAn
“I had you today
I’ve lost you to the past
So I look to the future
With the desire to get you back
Because cherishing the present
An experience I lack
Blinded by desire and loss” - rAveNswAn
As sure as the clock’s tick
His singular thoughts stick
The secondhand
Holds no candle to Otiem
And if it did
He’d blow out the flame
OTM
From the acronym a name - rAveNswAn
