I MAY THINK,
IT’S GREENER,
-FOR YOU,
YOU MAY THINK,
IT’S GREENER,
-FOR ME,

WHAT IS THE,
GREEN GRASS?
THAT I
YET
NOT KNOW?


BEHIND THOSE
DOORS,
WHO KNOWS,
HOW IT IS,
-FOR YOU,
OR
-FOR ME,
OR
WHAT’S,
IN STORE,
-ON THE,
OTHER SIDE,
OF THAT,
GREENER GRASS,
-THAT YOU,
THINK,
YOU SEE.


WHAT’S GREEN,
-FOR YOU,
I’SNT
GREEN,
-FOR ME,
AND
SOMETHING,
GREENER,
THAT IS,
-STILL,
-UNFORESEEN.


THAT GREEN GRASS,
-FOR YOU,
WILL BE,

-FOR ME,
AS,
IT IS,
ON THE,
OTHERSIDE,
--UNTOUCHED.


WHO KNOWS,
IF,
IT’S BETTER,

YOUR SIDE,
OF THAT,
GREEN GRASS.


UNTIL,
YOU,
MAKE THAT,
CHOICE,

THAT SAME,
GREEN GRASS,
THAT YOU,
ONCE SAW,
FROM,
YOUR SIDE,
WHERE YOU WERE,
BEFORE,
YOU,

MAYBE
IT COULD BE,
BETTER,
TO STAY,
ON THAT,
-SAME SIDE,


AND,
CONTINE,
TO BUILD,
ON,
THAT SAME,
‘FAMILIAR’
-GREEN GRASS,
THAT YOU,
ALREADY KNOW.


UNLESS,
YOU FEEL,
-IT’S THAT,
TIME.
TO TAKE,
-THAT RISK,
AND,
GIVE IT,
A GO.


TO TRY AGAIN,
AND,
REBUILD,
A
-NEW GREEN GRASS,
ONCE AGAIN,


OF,
THAT IDEA,
THAT YOU,
THOUGHT THAT,
YOU HAD,
WHEN,
YOU,
WERE ONCE,
-ON THE OTHER SIDE,
OF THAT,

Grass is Greener*

Someone with one foot in, one foot out,
These days what relationships are about.
Find something meaningful, magical and rare,
Stick with that person, don't go anywhere.
The skies the same color wherever you go,
Fall for one person, dance to and fro.
Make it count, you only get one life,
Don't fill it with heartache, difficult love, and strife.
See happiness in one person and be true,
Stay together, do the work, see it through.
A lover, a best friend, someone in to confide,
The grass is not always greener on the other side.

The hills over this rocky strech of road are greener,
that contain the things I want in life.
Success, a happy family, you name it.
I am wanting greener pastures. But it is going to take some time like a press conference for Obama
announcing his latest economic plan. Yes the greener pastures are coming its just tough right now to wait for it.

the grass is always greener
on the other side of the fence
these are the rules
i don’t make them
somebody is always going to be better than me
should i look up or down?
to the glowing sun
or the deep blue sea?
this is the blood, sweat, tears
of thirteen years
of hate and love for myself
this is the breaking
this is the growing
this is the healing
this is the faking of my feelings
against who i am inside
the grass is always greener
on the other side of the fence
in their ocean eyes i see the
future and in mine i see the past
in their hands i see pure bravery and
in mine i see brute strength and no control
and on their face i see and angel
on mine i see a spectre in
a twisted mask
that chips off
with every single one
of my tears
the grass is always greener
on the other side of the fence
from this side of paradise
all you see is my broken heart
and your hands quickly sew it back
as another stitch rips.
the grass is always greener
when you are on the other side
because no flowers would ever grow
if never washed with rain
the moon is always brighter
when the sun is there to shine
on its beautiful, silver face
that would be hidden by our
shadows till it melted into
space. this is the breaking
this is the growing
this is the healing
this is the alpha
this is the omega
this is the end.

The Grass is Greener,
when you see the world
just a little bit clearer.

There it is, sitting out the window,
past the barbed wires,
and picket fences,
penny for your thoughts,
or even six pences?

The grass is green,
while it lives in the garden or out of bed,
out there and in here,
in the lawn or in your head.

Aye indeed,
The Grass is Greener
they say, on the other side instead.

Aye the Grass is so much Greener
while it blankets the dead.

Time is whatever you manage to make,
Day in day out, we learn from that which takes it,

To silence the fears that make us,
Feel the hatred that takes us,

Continue, in vain,
Like gestures and coins,
Tossed in the great beyond,

Dimes and platelets of greener days,
Rendered the vision of maximum guilt,
Fortrusions for gone the desert a piece

I have had to learn
A few lessons to get here.
Suffered beyond my means
At the hands of people
Who never deserved to hold
My light in their hands.

And in the aftermath when
My Dark comes knocking,
I try to remember that
Greener grass is just ahead.

Had I known that greener
Meant the color of your eyes
When you smiled,
I would have run barefoot
Over broken glass to get here quicker.

Not that I know where here is,
Or if this is the final destination;
But you pick the words
From the tip of my tongue
And make them sound like music.

You are a warrior.
I saw it in the way you sized me up
While we talked away sunsets.
You wear your battle scars like
The beautiful banners they are.

Darling,
You leave me star eyed.

Every facet of your personality
A gentle reminder that
I am not alone.
That the Dark isn't a deity
Capable of swallowing me whole.
But something I can over come
With your words.

The grass looks greener
Where we are headed.
Even if we wander through a mine field
And end up walking away
Missing pieces ourselves
In each other,

I won't give up till we can touch
Every single blade of grass
With the tips of our toes
As we dance to each others war songs.

What if grass is greener on the other side,
Because it’s always raining there,
Where the ones who never fail to give,
Hardly have enough to spare,
Where the people with the broadest smiles,
Have pillows filled with tears,
And the bravest ones you’ve ever known,
Are crippled by their fears,
It’s filled with lonely people,
But they’re never seen alone,
Where those that lack real shelter,
Make you feel the most at home,
Maybe their grass looks greener,
Because they’ve painted on its hue,
Just remember from the other side,
Your grass looks greener too.
