acapella lullabies [singing to the stars]

By Six-Out

dr-ape.d in a blank.et of sublimin-ality/
-I watched the stars dance:: tonight
to the beat_of bullets with butterfly .wings
and listen.d to acapella lullabies
sung to the mid-October air
as dew/drops laced the horizon
and we begged the s.u.n- not to rise

:fogged eyes and long-spoken/ goodbyes
k.iss the edge_of tonight-
and/ listen to the stars sing back::




humbl.d by all_ around us
and taken back by what is still hidden
time stands still/ and nothing-really-matters
because/. tonight

is.-by all accounts

...amazing

    After reading this a second time and not focusing on how evil you are... it's pretty damn good. Very thoughtful and moving. Nice work bud.
