Misinterpretation of a Written Line

Each line I write was given the sense of beauty
It was seen as a crisp distinction between one language to another
Translation from mine to yours
It is not the words we share that make it beautiful
It is not the words we send or receive
It is the silence we share when we say nought-a-word
With every language known to man there is still one language we all understand
Whether you are lost
500 feet underneath the ground
You'll find that one thing everyone will understand
The shape of something that looks nothing like the real thing
The colour of not the muscle but the liquid running through it
Learning the hard way makes you understand things a lot better
Following the route will only get you so far and so near
Seeing as the leaves fall and the tree grow small
We all follow the weather and cover up that we expose
Flesh and bone become undiscovered once again yet eyes will follow
The leopard skin only show the shapes and the zebra stripe uncovers the mind
Simple as black and white
Sophisticated as the monochrome colour
Intimidated at the same time
Not a second passes without the thought of something instigated by the minds eye
It is just nature to do so
It is not who you are
It is what you are and we are only human
With second thoughts hovering around the brain
Tension rises and anxiety build but what I see is simple beauty in nature
The tree that once grew out with leaves falling each Autumn is also the tree I sat under
The same tree we share together
Not just two people but more so
Each person we know
Each person we meet
Each person we make eye contact with
And each person we share a special moment with
The place is not important
We are as much in heaven as we are in hell
But here is where we can compromise
We will join and we all stand to say what we want
But I will stand and simply smile
Because I would not have the words in me to say anything right

The Writing I Washed Away

Summer will turn to a different day
In that time the tears willfully fall upon our skin
The sun sets to sweeten the scene
The warm sand breathes the same air we share
With only one being on the shore
It is obvious I stand alone with nothing but my imagination lost
In darkened spaces I will stand out with my beak asking to perch
With my wings I'll span across the sea and find what I was once looking for
I try to make sense of it but I never will
Instances of light flashes towards me and I am given the sensation that I have lost it once again
If only I could translate every language to a universal symbol
With every hand raised it seems impossible to find one
A hand on my heart which isn't mine
I hold it tightly with grace and comfort
Breathe life into that which holds me then and never let go
Eye to eye and fist to fist
Grasped and willing to give it everything and to give in to anything
In taboo situations that leave the tingling sensation that once was found by someone else
Extended to the farthest reaches of the each others world
Uncovered and discovered who each other really are
Going further and further knowing well that it was wrong
Knowing everything is not that of what the mind is saying
Yet still giving in to sin
I'll still be looking for what I was missing in that subject
In that manner
That matter we were so longing for never came true in the light that we hoped to be independent
Same country was easy if it wasn't here nor there
Same continent would be the same as above all
So questioning what I know
It was not your dream and it wasn't my reality
We won on our own turf
If only that were true
Stick to what I know what to say and I will give you that which is holy
Breeze drifts past my face and flowers will send my mind into shock
Still insisting that I am in their fate
I am not in control of what I do
But an excuse is all it really was
It was too late and too early
I could never get the timing right nor the right words
I'll give you my life in a crystal light and break it up
Each colour will make you wonder if I'm really persistant or lazy
Here my words have the right only to speak the words I never could say
So I say this to you and your one
Dream sweetness and awake with the smile that out shines
