Space
Out of dreams

Love
Out of desire

Tomorrow
Out of yesterday

Sand
Out of the hourglass

Stars
Out of space

Home

2012-01-10T15:32:00.002-05:00

Miles and miles we have traveled down these roads
We’ve sailed across a thousand leagues to find tomorrow
Flown from horizon to horizon for another moment with this day
Climbed hills and mountains to find a truth

Yet all paths lead home

From bed to bed
Under painted ceilings or open skies
In the sunlight or washed away in the rain
We sleep to dream

Yet all dreams are of home

Strange faces come and go
Different religions touch our souls
The songs are all new
With different words

Yet they are sung from home

Miles and miles to go
Sailing backwards in time
Flying from dusk til dawn
Over green hills and blue mountains

Going home to where all dreams begin

Echoes Through Time

2011-09-09T10:08:00.000-04:00

I hear something in the distance
A faint sound
A thumping from another world
A heartbeat set afar

I hear a sigh escape into the night
Emancipated fingers reach out from the darkness
Hungry to remember soft flesh
To feel alive once more

I hear the rain falling against the shadows
Trying to wash away the night
To reveal the flavor of life beneath the icing
Of the cake called life

I hear the tears turn to dust
The moisture sucked away
Leaving but tiny pillars of salt behind
Peppering the surface of the earth

I hear the fears of those long gone
The cries of those who remain
Hidden behind a dark curtain
Shadows concealing a wall of reality

I hear the faint thumping in the distance
The heartbeat lost in time
Behind dark shadows
Or our echo slowly fading away in the night

How Far Is Far

2011-08-11T17:33:00.001-04:00

Far, far away
Far is where my thoughts stray
Far yet close
Close but not

I here a calling
A calling I know
A calling from far and within
A calling that brings light to the darkness

I hear the distant thunder
Or is it the echo of my soul
The sound of my heartbeat
Knocking against lonely mountains

Far is where the yearning lies
Where my desires unfold
Naked to the early dawn
Dissolving into the morning dew

Far from my fingers to touch
But not from my soul
Far from my embrace
But not the heart

Far but not

Tortured Escape

2011-07-26T03:14:00.000-04:00

Say what you got to say
Do what you got to do
Run if you must
Walk if you can
Just don’t stop
Keep existing

Don’t lie down and give up
Search for what you’re looking for
Find what you want
Keep what you have
Throw away what you don’t need
Release what ‘s imprisoned inside and be free

Listen to the wind
Find the sounds you know
The sounds you love
Go deaf to what hurts
Then be enlightened by what you learn
Liberated from what you never believed

Dance to a tune you orchestrate
To a rhythm you tap out with each step
Each beat
Every snap of your fingers
Coast along roads of emotion
Free of regulation and integration

Unfold the arms across your breast
Feel the rhythm of time
The luxury of a breath
The scent of existing
Be what you need to be
Live as you wish and only die when you must

Walker

Not Lost, Not Found

2011-07-19T11:19:00.002-04:00

Hey drifter
Where have you been?
What have you heard, seen?

Where are you coming from?
Where are you going?
Can I come along, down that long winding road?

Times are slow and I
I have no place to go
Just down that road, to tomorrow

Into the night
Chasing a golden moon
Holding the sunset on its right, the dawn to its left

Chasing the moon
Until it catches me from behind
Falling out from the void between the light and day

Down that long road
Drifting between day and night
Searching for the whore that brought me here, then walked away

How we suckled her sweet nipples
Felt the warmth of her bosom
The cold emptiness, when we looked away

Hey drifter, where have you been
What have you heard, seen
Did you see life, she used to be mine at one time

Walker

Illusion

2011-05-25T00:48:00.001-04:00

What is right
What is wrong
Do the answers come from a book
Or the lyrics of someone else’s song

Is it right to do what you’re told
Is it wrong not too
Will we be punished if we do
Or will we get our just rewards

Is what we feel our true self
Is it whom we are
Who we were before time
Or is it what we’ve become

The fires burn inside
Filled with emotions
Bursting with desires of souls bound for to long
Or is it the inferno that will burn us to ashes

Is it right to be wrong
Wrong not to be right
Do the answers matter
Or is it all about the questions

What is freedom
Is it a choice
One that we make
Or is it make believe

Waking Up

2011-05-13T13:54:00.005-04:00

I woke up one morning
Looked out the window and there she was
Waving me over
Calling me out

I sat up in my bed to look
To look outside at the bright sun
The birds singing
The flowers smiling back

I walked to the window
Opened it wide
Climbed down
Then began to run

I ran and ran and ran
I ran until there was no place left to run
So I lay down on the ground beneath my feet
To smell the scent in the air

The clouds crawled across the sky
There was a boat and a old man
There was an angel
Dancing with a devil

An eagle soared up to the sun
Flying into the center of its core
Before exploding into a million flames
It’s ashes floating to the earth to rise again with the early morning sun

The stars twinkle
Winking naughty thoughts at me
A bashful moon hides behind a wandering cloud
Peeking down when I pretend to look away

Rolling to my feet I slowly walk back down that road
The one that brought me here where I started to run
Back through the window to wait
For the early morning sun to rise once more

Walker

Roads Travelled

2011-05-11T10:39:00.000-04:00

Down this long road I travel
Searching for a place to call all mine
A place far from here, un-trampled by time
Void of any footprints

Through meadows of despair
Valleys of hope
Over mountains that gently kiss the sky
Across oceans of thought

Following a road written in destiny
Written into time with the seconds that tick by
The minutes spell the words
Filling the hours paragraph by paragraph

What adventure will fill the chapters
Day after day
While the years fill the pages until the end
An end that never comes

A new beginning down another long road
To yet another destiny written in time
Written with words
Words that are swallowed up in time

Walker

Adrift

2011-04-14T11:35:00.000-04:00

Lost in the moonlight on the edge of my mind
Lost among the stars searching for a dream
A purpose
The pot of gold on the other side of the rainbow

How do you reach the stars when they are so far?
Even in your mind they are not flesh
Shackled to time and racing across the abyss
Leaving only stardust to follow

Following tomorrow against the unknown ahead
Memories behind
With a dream for a guide, desire to push you on
And the moonlight on my face

Awakening on the cusp of midnight
Beneath a blanket of stars
With the moon smiling down
She’ll be here tomorrow night the old man winks

Walker

Dark Skies

2011-04-10T11:45:00.001-04:00

The sky is dark and empty
Clouds hide the stars from the Earth’s view
Covering the moon in a gentle blanket
Protecting it from the fires below

The world’s crashing
Falling within itself
As man hollows out its soul to burn
Leaving a void in its place to go cold

We suck the yolk from the robin’s egg
Leaving but a crumbling shell behind
A hollow future
A hollow existence

The clouds rise from long fingers
Protruding from the manmade volcanoes
Spewing its ash up to the sky
Burning the air all around

Dark tears crash from above
The sky falls
Cremating everything below
Absorbing the soul stolen through the layers of time

Time will judge tomorrow
How we used it will be evident
How we wasted it will be the verdict
Dark skies will be our sentence

Walker

Whispering Wood

2011-03-25T09:46:00.000-04:00

I walk down dark alleys
Listening to the shadows
The whispers escaping to the night
Seeping through cracked windows and doors

Joy, pain, wonder, sorrow…
All mingling together in the darkness
Filling the hollows of time
The spaces between the lines

Navigating a fog of dreams
Drowning in emotion
Searching for what can’t be found
Only created

Everything that’s real is in your arms
Not in your mind
In your heart
Not in a dream

Miles down these dark roads
Past the addresses of the mind
Listening to the whispers of yesterday
Living the dream

Walking down surreal roads
The past is today
The future is today
Yesterday is today

The shadows of yesterday
Speak to us today
The whispers escaping to the night
Talking of tomorrow

In the darkness
Tomorrow is less dangerous
Not as frightening
Not as intimidating

Walker

Time Used

2011-03-08T13:23:00.001-05:00

Time
Time is the constant
Time never runs out
Only our limits fall short

Time has no beginning
No end
It can be slowed
But never stopped

Time belongs to no one
Yet we all have some
Time we pay for with used time
To use or sell as we chase the clock

Time only goes in one direction
Not round and round like a clock
Yet we’re still chasing our tails
To hold onto the beginning

Time is a crystal capsule
With us locked away inside
To look out at the world
While the sand rains down from above

Time
It never comes again
Our time is now
Reach out and take some

Walker

Smoke On The Horizon

2011-03-05T14:53:00.003-05:00

I watch from a distance
As fires burn in the sky
The moon is bright
As distant screams stab the night

I want to light up a smoke
But the rain keeps putting it out
As do the tears
That smother the fires

The bitter liquid from my flask
Intoxicates my mind
While putrid water
Scorches the throat of innocence

Today I sit free in my world
Free to speak my mind
When some find freedom in their minds
Not their hearts

I watch from a distance
As the world burns
I watch
As the flames get closer

Walker

A Day Later

2011-02-09T00:46:00.000-05:00

Step after step
The road gets longer and longer
As each footstep adds up with the next
The past falls farther behind

Over the shoulder is what was
Ahead what will be
Tomorrow will heal the pains of yesterday
Today they remind us we’re still alive

The past holds on to the left hand
While the future draws on the right
Crucified before the heavens
To be judged or welcomed

The rain falls all around
Tears of joy or sadness
Of yesterdays passing
Or tomorrow’s birth

I can’t hold onto yesterday
When I crave tomorrow today
Yesterday was my mistress
Tomorrow’s my lover

We all need tomorrow
Today is today
Yesterday was
Tomorrow is the dream

Step by step
Through all the yesterdays
Living today for tomorrow
For a dream born yesterday about tomorrow

Equalibrium

2011-02-07T12:32:00.002-05:00

Roads to nowhere
Light with no source
Answers without questions
Doors with no handles

Tomorrows with no yesterdays
Life without a breath
A destiny with no destination
Existing to exist

A mountain with no sky
Clouds without tears
Thunder with no sound
Stars that don’t twinkle

Words with no meaning
Feelings with touching
Seeing without sight
Hearing with a touch

Drowning without water
Swimming across deserts
Climbing down
Falling up

What is one without the other
Glory without defeat
Hate without love
Me without you

What’s there or what’s not
What we have or what we don’t
One is the other
The other balances fate and fact

Hey...

2011-01-30T12:47:00.000-05:00

Hey…
What do you say
How do you feel
Where are you
Where’s you mind
Your heart
Your soul

Psst…
What’s your name
How did you get here
Where are you going
With who
Alone
Or with me

Hello…
You over there
It’s me
Me
Don’t you remember
When it was just us
Yesterday

Sigh…
Where were all the answer
When all the questions were asked
Where were you
Where was I
Where were we
When time stood still

Living…
A thousand lives
When you can only live
From breath to breath
Moment to moment
Forever yearning
To be whole

Hey…
What do you say
When there is nothing left to say
When the words have run out
When all that remains
Is you, I and tomorrow
There is always a tomorrow

Inhaling Fumes

2011-01-19T14:27:00.000-05:00

What day is it?
Does it matter?
What’s tomorrow or the day after?
Is it relevant?

Day or night
It’s all the same
Gone are the days of anticipation
Nights of adventure

It’s over
I surrender
I’ve been beaten down
By the uncertainty all around

We have fought to escape the mundane
Crawled out from the backseat of life
Reached for the steering wheel to tomorrow
Only to have the vehicle speed up

Falling back
Farther back than before
Back to the trunk
Where we had never been before

Trapped without the key
Kicking and screaming for someone to hear
Someone to open the door
To let the sun shine back in once more

I wrote my own script
But they edited it
I dreamt a future
They turned it into fiction

Locked in the trunk
In the caboose of life
A prisoner of our success
Puppets to the masters

Asleep in the darkness I wait
I wait for the end or the opportunity
To grab the wheel and drive
Drive down my own road to tomorrow

Walker

Yesterday's Dawn

2011-01-12T11:22:00.001-05:00

Once I was alone
Falling through space
Frozen in time
Without a horizon in the distance

Once there was nothing
Not even that
Nothing has to be something
Something needs to exist

Once there was only silence
Loud silence
Screaming to be let go
To be set free

Once there was no pain
No fears or tears
No regrets
Nothing to fret about

Once there was no time
No seconds, days, months or years
No place to be
No one to see

One day there was a spot
A glimmer
A hole in the fabric of time
Breathing life where there was none

Seconds came
Days, months and years
Someplace to be
Someone to see

Fear came first
Followed by love
Then pain
Then there was, you

Once there was nothing
Now there is something
Once I was alone
Not so anymore

Fear, is not knowing
Love, the fruit
Pain, to feel alive
You, to remind me why

Once I was in a void
Falling through space
Frozen in time
Without a horizon in the distance

Walker

The Rabbit Hole

2011-01-10T13:53:00.001-05:00

Take my hand
Walk with me
Let’s go to places far and away
The stars as our guide

We can climb mountains
Swim across oceans
Roll over deserts
Dance through the thickest of jungles

Let’s get lost somewhere
A place we have never been before
So we can be found huddled there together
Lost in the dream we created

Sail into the sands of time
Carving a path to a flaming horizon
To the end of eternity and over the edge
Surfing the long white clouds back to the beginning

If we don’t let go
We will be together once more
Life after life
Forever and ever

To the end of time
All the way to the end of love
To the beginning
If you hold on to today

Let Me Finger You

2011-01-09T03:26:00.000-05:00

Hi
Yeah you.
No no no
Don’t look around, I’m talking to you

Why don’t you come a little closer
Have a seat
Take a load off
Let me fuck with your mind

Let me take my forefinger and stab you between the eyes
Play with your memories
Tickle your emotions
Stimulate your desires

Let me take your soul in the palm of my hand
Blow a warm breath on your feelings
Consume your needs
Bath your lips with the fruit of you’re cravings

Let me reach in to the core of you
To find what you hide
What you cherish
What makes you what you are

I see what you see
Feel what you feel
Touch what can’t be seen
See what can’t be felt

Who are you?
Who are we?
We are different
We are the same

Close you eyes and open your mind
Give me what you want
Take what I have
Exhale your pleasures upon my breast

Would you like a coffee
Some tea
Would you like me to push my forefinger in deeper
Farther than you have ever wanted to go before

Awakening unknown desires
Forgotten pleasures
Ghosts
Shadows lost among memories

What were we before there was light?
What happened to those memories?
Are they lost?
Or are they the shadows hidden in time

Let me show you who we are
We are the void between two stars that sparkles in the night
The space we fill with our memories
Our desires

Let me mess with your mind
Let us find who we are
A cookie?
It’s for the tea

Just Because It Is

2011-01-07T15:27:00.000-05:00

When I look up
From my daydreaming
I wonder
Why doesn’t it have to be this way?

When I walk down the street
I look all around and I wonder
Why does it have to be this way?
I wonder

When I smile at you
Why do you frown then turn away?
Why does it have to be this way?
Or don’t you have anything to say

When I say hello
Why do you hear goodbye?
Why does it have to be this way?
Is it something I said or something you don’t want to hear

When I reach out you pull away
Why does it have to be that way?
Why not take what you can
Hold onto what’s real

When I wake up
It’s always to early or to later
Why does it have to be this way?
Why can’t it be the right time?

When I close my eyes
I’m still sleeping by your side
I see the world as it should be, to me
Why does it have to be this way?

I wonder
When I wonder
What I will find inside
Why does it have to be this way?

I wonder

Stay

2011-01-04T00:42:00.000-05:00

Stay
Stay and don’t go away
Stay and we will make each day
Make it what we want
Make it a dream to live
Stay and we will make it a day to remember

A day of endless hours
Forever stars
Blazing sunsets
Scratching at the headboards
Carving out a trench
Deep to the heart

Stay
Stay but for a day
A moment
A second of eternity
An hour of existence
Branded against the flesh of the soul

A day stitched into the fabric of time
A thread weaving around in knots
Binding two souls into one
Tightening the seams forever
Into an eternal embrace
Sown into time

Stay
Stay and don’t look away
Stay and we'll trace it in the sand
Chase it to tomorrow
Make it wait for us
As we run away from the dawn

The Artists Of Tomorrow

2011-01-03T01:48:00.002-05:00

Who am I?
Who have I been?
How did I get here?
How far have I come?

Day after day
Week after week
Pushing the months into seasons
Year after year

Decades turn into generations
Generations into a legacy of what we’ve done
Our achievements
Our failures

Am I good?
Or am I bad?
Is success what I had?
Or was it what I wanted?

Who am I?
Who will I be?
What do I got to do?
What do I got to do to be what I will be?

Night after night
Sunset after sunset
Push the moon across the sky
Time and time again

Am I happy?
Or am I sad?
Have I reached the stars?
Or was that the dream?

Will I have what I want?
Or not?
Is being happy that important?
Is it worth everything?

Who are we?
Who are we trying to be?
Where are we going?
Where do we want to go?

Heartbeat after heartbeat
Breath after breath
We are the wind beneath the wings to tomorrow
As we sail into another year

What will it be?
What do we want?
Is it to forget who we are?
Or be what we need to be?

Will we be remembered?
Or not?
Do we want too?
What will it cost?

Falling Off The Rim

2010-12-25T13:33:00.002-05:00

Here I am
Looking to the sky for a sign
Again and again
But there is nothing

You come stand by my side
Together we stare at the stars
We call to the heavens together
But no one calls back

Others join us at the rim of the world
All looking up at the dark expanse
Reaching together to touch the universe
But our fingers fall short

All of humanity side by side
Wishing upon the same star
Asking to see what lies beyond the clouds
But we are blinded by personal desires

Man and beast now gather together
As one seeking the future
To explore the universe
But we don’t see the truth

Here I am
Looking up at a reflection
A reflection of the universe
But it’s not in the sky

We are the universe
The sky is just the limit
Something to reach for
Where dreams are discovered

Morpheus

2010-12-24T01:56:00.001-05:00

Days bleed into nights
A curtain falls across the horizon
Separating what’s real
From what’s not

I watch from the shadows
As the sun’s dieing rays claw the ground for one more second
It’s fiery rage casting light on all the faces
Revealing their true identities.

The teacher, the Satanist
The doctor, the butcher
The nun, the whore
The day, the night

Broken chains fall to the ground
Freeing souls from the light
To walk far, into the night
Beyond the bonds of their doubt

Un-tethered desires to explore
To feed a ravenous hunger
A hunger suppressed by prying eyes
By the bonds of strangers

I watch from the shadows
As time passes by and the moon melts into the earth
The dawn’s early light scares away the truth
Leaving only scares to walk past

A ghost forgotten in time
Left to watch a future repeated over and over
Unheard and unseen left to wander through the shadows of time
Knowing what tomorrow brings, again and again…

Dream In A Bottle

2010-12-18T16:09:00.000-05:00

Somewhere out there is what I want
Somewhere not too far
Just a million miles away
To far to walk too but not to touch

Against the night sky
I surf the tails of falling stars
Making wish after wish, the same each time
Wishing you were here

I dream upon a falling star to capture a wish
To keep it in a glass bottle
To keep until I can give it away for what I already have
Yet can’t touch but in my dreams

Wishes become dreams
Dreams are the wishes we follow
The path leading to where we want to go
To where we want to be

I want to leave my thoughts behind
To move in with my dreams
To get lost in my desires
Until what’s real and what’s not is entwined into what is us

Walker

Two And One

2010-12-15T13:57:00.001-05:00

Two dark shadows
Two dark shadows and a spot of light on the ground
A spot of light and two dark shadows
A spot of light, two dark shadows and no place to go

Two dark clouds
Two dark clouds and a ray of sunshine in the sky
A ray of sunshine and two dark clouds
A ray of sunshine, two dark clouds, shocking

Two high mountains
Two high mountains and a lush valley
A lush valley and two mountains
A lush valley, two mountains, fertile and inviting

Two tall trees
Two tall trees and a blade of grass
A blade of grass and two tall trees
A blade of grass, two tall trees with roots deep in the ground

Two naked breasts
Two naked breasts and hungry lips
Hungry lips and two naked breasts
Hungry lips, two naked breasts and ripe nipples

Two oceans
Two oceans and an island
An Island and two oceans
An island, two oceans and raison in the sun

Two of this
Two of this and one of that
One of that and two of this
One of that, two of this and what is left

Written

2010-12-09T12:40:00.002-05:00

Today slips into yesterday
Yesterday dissolves into memory
Leaving only ghosts
Left there to haunt us from the shadows

Specters chaining your soul to events written in time
Some painful, some not
Lost dreams, unfulfilled desires
Moments bleeding from within

From oblivion to eternity
We tear our souls apart
Not because it’s what we desire
But because we crave to feel life

To see what these eyes have never seen
Touch what hasn’t been felt
Tasted the bitter sweet lips of time
While nourishing an existence

To reach out and touch the hand of love
Feel the slap of rejection
Bleed tears of pain
As freedom brings a fresh breath of joy to inhale

Tomorrow hasn’t been written yet
Not with a pen, just a pencil
So it can be erased
Until the words are what you want to hear

Today slips into yesterday
As we write a tomorrow in the book of time
Chasing dreams on a horizon
While holding tight to what we have

Semen

2010-12-06T17:37:00.001-05:00

Forever and never
Together and apart
Bound by destiny
Imprisoned by lust

The seasons come and go
As day crashes into the night
Raising clouds up in the sky
Sending a storm this way

Lightning marks the spot
As the thunder knocks at the door
Summoning hidden dreams
Calling them to come out and play

Released from their eternal bonds
Unleashing desires to caress lost minds
Feeding upon forgotten instincts
Nourishing dieing souls with a lust to feel what’s inside

So close
Only skin deep
Yet
So far

Lust and desire
Lovers yet strangers
So close but so far to touch
To feel each other

The friction between them
Is the fog where dreams are made
Both pressed up against a thin membrane
The skin imprisoning our souls

Sensing the other
Lusting for one’s desires
Desiring the lust imprisoned within
Living and suffering life

Forever and never
Together and apart
Bound by destiny
Prisoners of conception

Night light

2010-12-04T01:17:00.000-05:00

Walking across barren skies
Lost among the fading stars
Following a moon along an invisible path
Chasing unfulfilled dreams

Skipping from galaxy to galaxy
Searching for a falling star to wish on
Some stardust to grab
Something to believe

Floating among my dreams and yours
Swallowing oceans of desire
Drowning with our suffering
Our discontent, our innocence

Reaching out to touch realities
Realities that only exist in our minds
Realities we know are right
Realities we can’t have

We chase a dieing sunset
Looking to find a moon to follow
Craving a reality we desire
The dream we need to live for

A million souls streak across barren skies every night
Each chasing the sunset into a tomorrow
Reaching for what they desire
Reaching for the moon before someone blows it out

Shattered Pieces

2010-12-01T16:24:00.004-05:00

Shattered memories
Broken dreams
Shattered lives
Broken promises

Blind sight
Lost words
Forgotten feelings
Deaf desires

Shattered words
Broken feelings
Shattered sight
Broken desires

Deaf lives

Shattered blind memories
Broken lost dreams
Shattered forgotten lives
Broken deaf promises

Shattered blind words
Broken lost feelings
Shattered forgotten desires
Shattered blind sight

Shattered and broken
Blind and deaf
Lost and forgotten
Swept away

Blindsight

2010-11-29T12:04:00.001-05:00

I watch the world spin past my window
The different people traveling in the same directions
Following the same path with different destinations
With different endings to each step

Each an adventure written down in history
Written in blood and sweat
To the four corners I watch some reach for destiny
Others surrendering to time, cursed to watch through the hourglass

I watch as the skies turn gray
The air bitter and cold
As the living colors dissolve into dust and ash
For the winds to blow into tomorrow

I follow a crack in the glass
To the center of the fog I created with a single breath
With a finger I draw a dream
Void of color and sound

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Time melts away the seasons one by one
Inside the fog I hide from the nothing
Free from the burning rain and the crying silence

I watch saying nothing
Breathing against the stains on the glass
Hiding what I don’t want to see
Silence, my sin to bare

We light up the world with a smile
We shut it off with a slap
Inside the fog we disappear
To hide our despair

Looking out the window I do nothing
Drawing a line across the crack one last time
I watch in silence as a trickle of color runs down to the bottom
As I lower the blinds on another dream

Madness

2010-11-22T02:20:00.002-05:00

Thunder pounds against the night sky
As lightning rips it’s belly wide open
Guts and blood pouring from high above
Raining down the tears of our sins

WAR
The child of our kind
The offspring of bitter minds
Born from the loins of a whore named Hu Man

HA HA HA it laughs at its mother
As it swallows up its brothers and sisters
Shitting out the bits to feed the madness
More food to feed the insanity

The cocks spread the seeds of destruction
Fertilizing the cunts they force to the ground
That cry out the armies that go out to die
Drowning the rest in the crimson tide from the sky

Red rivers flow across barren deserts
Sandy beaches littered with the empty shells of rotting flesh
White to red
Where are the souls of the dead?

The fires of hell boil the spilt blood for us to inhale
Getting us high to contaminate our minds
Sending us out of control for more
More to feed the need

Thunder pounds against the sides of our minds
As the jagged lighting stabs us in the eyes
Until we are blinded by madness
The lust for blood and more souls to consume

Smoke and ashes will fertilize the seeds of tomorrow
Erasing yesterday and today
Spawning new caretakers a millions years away
Or another plague like us

Shadows

2010-11-16T00:18:00.000-05:00

It’s gone
All gone
Everything there was
Every dream from the beginning

Slipping from trusting fingers
Falling out of reach
Falling into strange hands
To be imprisoned until the end of time

Forever lost yet never forgotten
Out of sight but not from this one heart
Forever trapped
A thorn left to torment what’s left of the soul

Everything to nothing
From forever to never
Pulling one string of the heart
Turn off the moon hanging in the sky

Gone
Gone with the fading light
Across the long horizon
Left to ride the seconds to another time

Switch off the moon
Shatter it to pieces
Unbind the pain from a dieing heart
Set free a tormented soul

Empty skies remain
The stars lay hidden behind dark clouds
Their falling tears drown the ending of this song
Washing away a past for a new beginning

Today

2010-11-08T09:38:00.001-05:00

Today
Yesterday
Any day
Tomorrow perhaps

In the morning
Afternoon or evening
Under the moonlight
Or not

From here to there
A place I know
A place I have never been before
Somewhere

Alone
In a crowd
Together or apart
Apart but together

In the arms of life
Being caressed
Slapped in the face
Fucked

From the beginning
To the end
Forever and ever
And eternity

There is only one day
One place in time
In the universe
And it’s mine

Today
In the morning
From here to there
Alone

In the arms of life
From the beginning
There is only one day
Today

What You Can Never Have

2010-11-02T02:13:00.001-04:00

North, south, east and west
Down many roads and avenues
Through deserts, over mountains
Across vast frontiers
I came
I saw
I moved on

I have loved and died a thousand times
I will die a thousand more
To find what I’m looking for
What, I will never know
I’ll just know where to go
What to do
Not why

Where I will go
I don’t know
No matter where I go
I will always search for what is missing
Something I don’t have
It’s not faith or love
It doesn’t exist what I seek

For thousands of years
People have searched
Generations have perished in it’s quest
Disappeared in its shadow
Sacrificed all for something that doesn’t exist
Something that could never be
A word you can’t touch or taste

Through the dust of time I search
Wading through the ashes of those before me
Searching for what can never be had
Never owned or given
Hidden not far but close if you’re not afraid to look
Not afraid to take the chance
To find what you’re missing, what you can never have

Chasing The Beginning

2010-11-01T12:23:00.000-04:00

How do I find my way back home
When all the street names are all gone
How can I return to what I left behind
After I ran off to chase a hollow song

I didn’t know there were unseen rules
Rules made to be not in your favor or mine
I didn’t know we were meant to be used
Used and abused for our time

Where is there left to go
A place where time has forgotten to steal a piece of what was mine
Where has it all ran off too
Hiding from yesterday’s thoughts and my mind

The spot remains
On the ground from where it can never go away
The burden changes from season to season
But it’s here forever waiting for me to come home to stay

How can I go back home
When the names have all faded away
How can it be
I’ll just have to go see if I can find the way

Blowing Smoke

2010-10-21T11:49:00.001-04:00

Alone among the smoke and the rubble
My world as it has become
This is not what I remember
Not what was meant to be
It can never be the same again

What was once free is now for sale
What belonged to me was yours
Our souls were not ours
Becoming kindle for others
To burn for their comforts

Cattle to be grazed in a concrete world
Corrals in squares among squares
Inside growing circles on a dieing globe
In a dark universe
To an even darker existence

Is this how it has to be?
What can we do?
It’s a lost world
Drowning in hate and fear
Despair

The wind will blow the smoke away
The rain will wash the ashes down the drain
But it won’t be the same
Something will be missing
You and me

Dimentions

2010-10-18T02:08:00.000-04:00

I sit back in my chair looking across the street
The sun is out
People walking back and forth
Even the hooker, all plump and stout

At the doorway I smell the scent of the flowers
Cars passing by
Children playing in the yard
A junkie screaming he’s going to die

On the porch I feel the wind on my face
The dust stinging my eyes
Squirrels playing in the tree
The hooker showing me her thighs

On the sidewalk the world passes by
Barefoot and bleeding from toes to heels
The concrete feels cool
Littered with condoms and needles

Red footprints lead to the corner
A blur in time
To the four corners of the world
When it was all mine

She looked at me from across the road
Winked then smiled at me
“Twenty for a fuck” she said
I said, “Life sneaks up behind me everyday for free”

I follow the footprints back
Up the porch to the doorway
Inside to my chair
Looking across the street as the kids play

...Of The Soul

2010-10-14T14:55:00.000-04:00

The night was silent
A cool breeze swept in off of the lake
Its soft flesh caressed my face as it embraced my body
Sending shivers of fear and pleasure of the unknown through me

The scent of the place I was before rode its tale
A quiet reminder of what was left behind
The sins of the past
Hopes of the future

Running away like a thief in the night
From those that know who you are
Not from those that know you
To a place where you don’t exist

With the moon to show the way
A road paved with hope and desire to follow
A hunger for freedom to feed your soul
The wind to push you forward

Sweeping deserts away
Bending forests to point the way
Over hills and mountains
Across space and time

Running from yesterday
As tomorrow’s dawn hunts me down
Chasing what’s on the other side of tomorrow
While escaping from yesterday

The sweet taste of today
Free of yesterday
Yet a prisoner of tomorrow
Escaping reality

But you can’t leave
There is no place to go
No place to hide but inside
Freedom…

Stealing A Tomorrow

2010-10-13T11:58:00.000-04:00

I look up at the night sky
Feel the cold tears of a child fall against my face
Dead dreams raining down from above
Soaking my soul

The reflection in the puddle below is weathered by time
Beaten by the unforeseen
Elements hidden beyond each bend on a road with no end
Elements unhidden but in plain sight, yet invisible to those in a hurry

Racing off into the unknown
Blinded by desire
Crashing into doors without the keys
Breaking in to steal a piece of tomorrow

Dusty roads lay ahead
Not the dust of time
But the ashes of those before
Those who came to grasp at a dream

Few footprints mark the path in the dust
A path leading to everything, to nothing
Through the valley of doubt
To the land of make believe

The sky is dark but for the stars and the moon
Urging you on with their dancing glow
Their celestial embrace
A sparkle of hope where it had faded away

Through the grey jungle, the smoke and smell
To stand among those before
Throwing paper dreams at the walls of Jericho
Only to watch them float away in a river of tears

Locked doors and no key to get in
Looking back my footprints have blown away with time
Only the dust remains, the moon and stars
Urging me to steal a piece of tomorrow

The Letter

2010-10-08T13:03:00.002-04:00

It arrived one day bearing it’s insides for all to see
Unannounced and unexpected
Yet it was
But still, a surprise

It’s edge sharp as a Damascus blade
As were the words hidden inside
Or not
They may be a sweet as the scent emitting from within

The name on the front was mine
The writing unfamiliar
The name on the back I knew
But not what was inside

A message in a bottle
A call for help
Maybe a lifeline away from here
A reason to exist in another realm

On the mantle it rests as I pass it every day
Dust falling on it as the days turn into weeks
Months and years
30 to be exact

Caked with the years gone by
My name is still on the front
Its scent faint but still there
It arrived one day unexpected

I didn’t know what to do
So I left it on the mantle
No way to call for relief
Not until..

Until I opened it up and pay the phone bill

Nomad

2010-10-07T00:15:00.002-04:00

I walk through the deserts of my mind
There is hardly any trace of where I have been
Blown away by the four winds
Sent swirling away through the cracks of time

Tiny grains sifting through the windows of my soul
Leaking out with every blink of an eye
With every moment that passes
Tiny seeds of thought left to be found after they’ve been watered through the tears of time

To some, a special song
To others a threat
Music for a soul by another soul
A taste of freedom on ones lips

I take a handful of dreams and watch
Watch as the grains slip away from my fingers
Watch them all fall away
All but few

What happened to the rebel?
Did he melt away with the sands of time?
Did he become another desert for someone else to get lost in?
Or has he forgotten the way home?

I walk through the sandstorms of time
Searching for a way to escape the hourglass
Other than the one provided at the bottom
Where all dreams get flushed away forever

All but the ones left in the palm of my hand

Walker

Just Ice

2010-10-02T01:55:00.000-04:00

Yes, yes, yes
Ok, whatever you say
Here, take it
Take it all

Just leave me alone

It’s all yours
I’m just borrowing it
They control mind and life
It’s all yours

Just leave me be

They use their power
The way they want
Power we gave to them
Power they turn on us

Just leave me free

They take what they give us
Take more than they need
Even our young
To do with as they so please

Just go away

They push and push
They’re taken it all
All but my soul
That I keep until the day I die

Just the way it is

We bow to the powers that be
The ones that make our nose bleed
Our masters
But we are not their slaves

Just wait and see

They tell us what to do
How to think
Lock us up behind bars or red tape
When we don’t.

Just until I get loose

One day we will tire
People won’t bow
But stand
Stand against the machine

Just so we could start from the beginning, again and again

Windows

2010-10-01T10:30:00.000-04:00

Through my eyes, my mind has been
To places I have seen
People I have met
Feelings that I’ve felt

In my mind I have recorded faces
Places
Time passing my way
Memories created from each and every day

In my soul
I feel what fills an empty hole
An essence that could only be given
But not stolen by a hand of sin

I walk down a path
Littered with people’s wrath
Dodging bullets from the shadows
From those who no one knows

In the end, as it was from the beginning of this cruel game
All that matters is the same
From dusk till dawn
A reason to keep going on

Through my mind, my eyes have reached into your soul
Looked to see what fills your empty hole
Is it what’s in mine?
Or what I slide into you from behind

In our minds we are free
Trapped in our souls by that which we want to be
Prisoners of time
A slave to what I want to be mine

In our souls we know
What we feel will only grow
Our essence will mingle together
It’s scent lasting forever

Through my eyes, my mind can see tomorrow

Defiant

2010-09-28T14:11:00.005-04:00

I stand at the crest of time looking down below
I stand alone against the dawn of the beginning
I stand alone in my resolve to be who I need to be
I stand above the world
Alone
Yet defiant

I stand on the edge of the future
I stand here watching through the sands of time
I stand watching as the looking glass shatters into a million grains
A million dreams
Alone
Yet defiant

I stand on a ridge high above the world
I stand here looking down at you
I stand here beaten and bruised
Holding a torch I was born with
Alone
Yet defiant

I stand up here looking down at what you are doing
I stand a step away from falling over
I stand up there shackled with fear and anger
Screaming, FUCK YOU!
Alone
Yet Defiant

I stand here listening to the roar echo through the valley
I stand next to a stranger
I stand next to a neighbour
He next to his
Alone
Yet Defiant

We stand on the brink of destruction
We stand together against an on coming storm
We have one enemy to defeat, ourselves
One step away from freedom
Alone
Yet defiant

FUCK YOU !!!!!!!!!

Waiting

2010-09-23T15:57:00.002-04:00

I sit here waiting
Waiting for something
Someone

I wait for the day to come
For the hour
The minute you walk through the front door

I wait for the phone to ring
The doorbell to chime
But they don’t

I wait
I waited to be born
Waited to grow up

Waited to be on my own
Waited to find what I want
Now, I wait for what I have

I wait for the sun to rise
Wait for the sun to set
I wait for the days that go by

For the seasons to come and go
For the stars to wrap around the world
For the moon and sun to eclipse my heart

I wait until I don’t have to wait no more
When time will once more stand still
And tomorrow will be far away to wait for when you’re here

Waiting…

Quarters Quarters Quarters

2010-09-22T02:54:00.000-04:00

It’s 9pm and I have nothing to do so I get off my ass and make for the door
Down the stairs and I go down the street smelling like a two bit whore

I look to the right before I go left, across the street and down to the corner
I open the door and walk right up to the man at the counter

Passed him five bucks for a bottle told him to keep the penny
Strolled to a table and sat down to give away all my money

Oh she whirled and twirled and threw the clothes left and right
I watched and she trembled with delight as I sat there all night

It was starting to get hot as I opened up my shirt
Sweat dripped from my forehead falling down to the dirt

She dance until I had no more chnage then picked up my bag and go
Back down the street to a place I know

Up the stairs and down the hall as she sees me through the windowpane
I open the door smelling like a bottle of Gain

She says I smelled like a two bit whore at a laundry mat
I told her panties smelled just like that

Howling In The Dark

2010-09-20T21:08:00.001-04:00

Day in
Day out
It’s always the same

I go to bed alone
Wake up alone
In the cocoon I’ve created

I live the life I live
The life I wanted
The one I allowed to exist

Everyday I wake up to this
Every day I follow the rut in the carpet
Every day and every night

Every evening is always the same
I stand alone in the shadows
Howling in the night

Howling for the moon to return
To pour light into the shadows
To set me free from the cocoon

Day in
Night out
It’s always the same

I’m just standing here waiting
Waiting for the moon to come back
So I won’t be alone

Hidden Spaces

2010-09-17T02:05:00.000-04:00

Alone in the mists of time
There’s nothing I can’t do
Nothing I can’t have
Nothing I can’t feel

In the recesses of my soul
I find solace
Courage
I find love

The shadows as my cloak
There is safety
Warmth
A blanket to hug my shoulders

Twirling within the abyss of my mind
There are no mirrors
Time stands still
Its as I wanted it to be

Locked in my heart
I cherish what is most important
Held always close
Entrusted only to my soul

Locked in this vessel
Held together with flesh and blood
Beating, breathing
Living for one more day

Guided by hope
Driven by desire
Lust
Satisfying the guardian of time

I find who I am
In the voids and shadows of time
Where no one else can explore
Purgatory

September Skies

2010-09-11T00:30:00.000-04:00

Take my hand
Walk with me
Down this road
Leaving everything behind

Past our troubles
Other’s responsibilities
Just take what’s ours
Then go find what’s over there

How long must we endure
What we don’t want
How long must we follow
The deaf drummer

Following our hearts desires
What we need to feel free
Down that road from purgatory
To a street we can call home

The time has come
For us to shout
Shout out loud
We’ve had enough

We all need
What we need
We need to taste a sweet peace
From each others lips

So take my hand
Lets join others hand in hand
Let our tears and blood pool together
Into a raging river for a better world

A world for children
Free to laugh and play
A world without fear or tears
A world without religion

Mother

2010-09-09T00:36:00.002-04:00

Here I am
Far down that road
Here from where I was
From a world a lifetime away

There we were
Such a long time ago
Where the truth was before you
Everything was real not an illusion

When did it all change
How did we loose our religion
The gods we kneel too
Are to many to be real

So here we are
Good or bad
It’s ours
Home

Here I am
Standing on the corner with you
Wondering how did it all change
How can we make it all go back to yesterday

Should we rob tomorrow for today
Or should we fight ahead
Make the dream, the real dream
The one of when we lived yesterday

On our knees we cry
Wetting the lips of our parched mother
The one that gave us life
Not a god

So here we are
Good or bad
It’s ours
Home

I hope we don’t burn it down

Until Morning

2010-09-05T21:51:00.001-04:00

I lay in bed at night
Alone,
Staring out the window
Your lingering scent still here with me

Awake yet in a trance from the night before
When I wasn’t alone
With the moon peeking through the window
The stars in your eyes

We lay tangled on soft clouds
Your tender thigh brushing past my cheek
Your nectar dripping on a parched tongue
Quenching my thirst

Lost beneath transparent sheets
Her tender kisses erupted into a volcano of lust
One on one tasting forbidden fruits
Harvesting each other’s desires

Groping and tugging
Tightly holding onto the ecstasy
Tearing at the flesh
Trying to set the hunger free

The wind blows the curtains across the room
Their silky fingers waving at you and me
Caressing our souls as they burn through the night
Until dawn’s early light

I lay in bed alone
Thinking of when you will return
To burn away the passion within
To set my hunger free

A Song In The Wind

2010-09-04T03:32:00.000-04:00

I stood by the window looking up
Up at the sky
At the stars and moon in the middle of the night

I saw her standing out there
In the moonlight
Long flowing hair blowing in the wind

She stared at me from across the meadow
Smiling back
I heard a song in my ear

I turned but there was nothing there
Looking back out
She was gone

I look up at the night sky
Listening to the song in my ear
Dancing in my thoughts

I close my eyes and lost in the song
Her hair brushes over my face
Her scent awakens my senses

We slowly move around the room
Floating away with every step and dip
Until I opened my eyes

I stood there alone once more
The song gently tapped against the window sill
As the sky cried

I stand by the window staring out
Looking at the past
But mostly, at tomorrow

Rust

2010-09-01T16:17:00.001-04:00

I sit looking to the dark greying skies
Thin clouds passing by
Stars blinking through from beneath
Here’s where I feel welcome

Home among the shadows that haunt me
Memories lurking from the past
Looking through at where we once had been
A place, a time, a dream, a nightmare ago

A slave to the night and the dark side of time
A shadow with no face or form
Just flesh and an illusion of what was
Nothing sweet but bitter, yet, real

Few are left in the shadows
Only ghosts haunt the night
Names slowly fade away until the shadows are no more
Only an artificial light will remain

The moonlight bounces off the faded leather
A rusty blade is left stuck in the soul of time
Keeping a small spark alive
A reason to remember

Bathing beneath the soft moonlight
Soaking up memories of what’s mine
My blade sheathed by my side
Rusty and old yet still sharp

How did time go by so fast?
Where did it all go when you only just found your way back?
Now you’re gone again
Leaving the walls quiet once more

Running down new roads and unexplored paths
Searching for what you want, desire
Following dreams
Roads to tomorrow

All I could do is stand there and watch
Letting go what I want to hold onto
But the wind is free
As I remember my own desires in the past

So now all that remain are the few memories
The times we did share
The moments that will hold me for now
Until the wind blows this way again once more

How did time slip away?
I watch as the shadows slowly creep in
One still remains until time comes to beat me out again
Then the shadows could consume me until the end of time, if they can

Flash From The Pan

2010-08-27T21:29:00.000-04:00

Puff…………………….Blow
Take the smoke in deep
Feel its poison burn your lungs
Piercing your inner soul

Releasing a sliver of dead to find a missing piece
A piece of life lost in time
to have it flash before my eyes one last time
Before it’s forgotten once again

With every breath I die a little more
Seeing what I tried to forget
Life in a world of agony and despair
A mannequin petrified in hell

Each stick a demon to embrace
To be suckled with every kiss
Drawn back in time
Until the future is today and tomorrow is gone

Why do we love what hurts us?
Dance with the devil
Run for the edge
Yet we still watch the time like there is a tomorrow

Puff……..

Puff……..

Yeah, I see it now
I see what I have always seen the 10,000 times I died
A past and future dancing in the bitter rain
Fucking me in every interlude

Puff

To choke or breath
She’s my demon
My love
The love of my death

Puff

Which demon guides you to the realm of hell?

Acid Rain

2010-08-26T00:02:00.001-04:00

I see dark clouds rolling in from the west
Doom and gloom riding its wake
The thunder and lightning part the heavens
Shooting down bolts of lightning to light up the darkness

Thunder muffles the cries in the night
As the rain drowns away in the filth
Giving new life to the dieing
Carrying those that can’t be saved away

Raindrops fall down on my face
Slowly burning away my soul
Melting the skin away
Left to lie naked and bare for the stars to see

The road’s been to long
To long to wash away the dirt
The sins on my hands
To dirty to wash away in the burning rain

It’s been too long to forget what can’t be forgotten
To far down the road to get lost
Time is the only witness
As dark clouds come rolling in

Only clear skies can sooth the soul
Heal wounds as the moon bleaches the bones
So the rain can wash away what’s left
As time passes by in the night

Watching Time

2010-08-20T23:02:00.000-04:00

OK, let’s take a step back
Let’s step back and have a look at time
As it has already ticked on by
Leaving a trail as the years go ticking on by

Let’s look at all the times we laughed
And those when we cried
Down that road
As time goes by

The angst of living
The pain of letting go when you find that road
The road called tomorrow
As you turn to say goodbye

Let’s take the time to remember
Remember those days gone by
The faces and voices of those not here
Yet never gone

Places lost in the shadows of time
Yet still paint a vivid picture of yesterday
When there is nothing left to see with your eyes
Just you mind

Let’s take a step back in time
To feel why you feel today
Understand what you never did until now
See what life is really all about

Let’s travel to a space shrouded in mystery
Where the past enlightens the future
While today struggles
With what remains of the past

Why does time always move on?
Where does it go?
When does it stop, if it does?
Am I chasing it or it me?

Missing Dreams

2010-08-10T23:30:00.005-04:00

Nothing is the same
Nothing is different
Nothing is as it's supposed to be
Nothing is as it was

I close my eyes
Then open them quick
It looks the same but not
Something is always different

Today is not yesterday or tomorrow
Yesterday I was born and tomorrow I will be gone
But today is today and today
Today I'm alive

Today is about reaching for what we wanted yesterday
For what we can grasp hold of before tomorrow
Today is when we make dreams come to life
When they blossom from the seeds of our imagination

Tomorrow we will embrace what dreams we captured
Then cry for those that were never born
Dreams that went missing
When we got lost surviving

Nothing is as it seems
Nor as it was and never will be
But our dreams are alive as we live for today
Looking at tomorrow with a smile and another dream

Today
Today is yesterday but not tomorrow
Tomorrow is yesterday but not today
Yesterday is when dreams were born

Do you hear what I hear?

The light fades away in the east
Taking with it what I had in the light of day
Left blind and lost to the night
Do you see what I see?

Walking on eggshells
Crushing all your hopes and dreams
Broken dreams
Do you feel what I feel?

My hands touch two walls
As I am trapped in my prison cell
Locked away inside of my desires
Do you have the key to my dreams, my nightmares, failures and victories?

Drip
Drip
Drip
The pendulum swings one way

The night swallows up the dawn
Transforming the mirage into reality
Shedding the costumes
For what is real in the moonlight

Rising above shattered memories
Brushing off the dust of time
While sailing free from what was
To what will be

Endless space for hungry fingers
Begging to explore your soul
Feel your desires
To unlock the prisoner inside

Drip
Drip
Drip
The blood of time wastes away

It’s a cold hard memory
When left forgotten
When left unexplored
Bitter to taste in the tomorrow

Only when I taste the fruit will it exist
When I let it’s nectar run down my face
Will time forgive me for what I locked away
Left forgotten

The walls of my prison
Are walls I have built
I am the prisoner in my heart
Burden of my soul

2010-07-30T12:01:00.000-04:00

In the silence of my mind
I sing the lyrics that have been written with each passing day
Each a chorus etched in time
Written with mute fingers and a blackened soul

Each note a word, a thought or desire
Every line an arrow set loose to the wind
It’s target unknown
It’s destination, tomorrow

An orgy of emotion fills each verse
Swimming in the pleasures and pain we fed on
Each fuelling the other until
Until the heat lights up ones soul with a withering spark

Igniting a passion to live for no true reason
Even through wrenched times
To plough through the mud and shit
Shit that we covet more than life itself

Our shit
Good or bad
Ours
Safe within our minds and souls

In the silence of time
I light up a match to see in the darkness
To see what I have hidden from the rest of the world
What is more precious that life itself, hidden until its time

Humming the lyrics of our existence
I find the keys to words many can’t find
Notes to songs never heard before
Songs never finished or ever will

From the dark silence of time
Hides what we are all searching for
It’s what we once had
What we will eventually inherit

The wind whispers its name
While I sit back smoking my cigarette
Watching the dieing embers turn to ashes
Ashes to crumble with time

Tinker

2010-07-28T22:39:00.001-04:00

I have come down this road
This path from the past
A path not always clear
Nor straight

Through the sands of time
Across deserts void of tears
Bitter rivers and over mountains so high
Only the sky could kiss them at night

I’ve bedded down in meadows
Covered with sweet lavender
Moist with the morning light
Dripping with honey dew

Through forests, thick and lush
Paradise in the sunlight
A sanctuary by moonlight
When the sun bows to the stars in the night

I have travelled to the unknown
Seeking nothing but a way to pass
Found what I wasn’t looking for
Treasures hidden in plain sight

Through the annals of a multitude of eyes
Universes lost to everyone but one
The one who sees what can’t be seen
Knows what exists in one’s own mind

I look to the left then the right
Then up above
Is there enough time to choose
Left, right or up

Through the clouds
Riding the four winds to eternity
In time, but now
I will turn right until I reach the left

I Close My Eyes

2010-07-19T01:36:00.001-04:00

I close my eyes, opening my mind to what I don’t have any more
Falling backwards in my thoughts of when life was simple
Freer to be what I wanted to be

I close my eyes to escape this reality
To a place where I was alive and death was but a friend
To share a beer with

I close my eyes to what hasn’t happened yet, opening my mind to what has
Thinking of those times I left behind, ran away from
When I was king instead of the jester

I close my eyes to open my soul to a void
A space in time purposely lost, cherished but never forgotten
Valhalla and Shangri-La, my purgatory

I close my eyes so I can look for what I can’t see
To feel what I can’t feel
Understand what can’t be understood

I close my eyes not to run away
To torture my soul
To lock it away in this dark prison lost in time

I open my eyes to wash away the blood of ages by closing doors to the past
A place where living was dieing
Where the shadows were but bought souls by Satan

Echoes In The Night

2010-07-17T12:00:00.002-04:00

A misty curtain crawls over the land
Into every corner and crevice
Filling all the voids left behind as time withers away
Until they overflow with the echoes of yesterday

The familiar voices that are now silent
Voices that paint pictures of the past
Faces still young never to be old
Just reborn in memory

Scents brought to life
Smells swimming with memories
Sweet scents of love, some laced with pain
Mingling with the stale scent of the living

Ghosts are brought to life
As the mist of time surrounds our worlds
Allowing them to walk freely once more among the living
An eternity to them but a brief moment for us

Misty memories clouding the mind
Waiting to be taken out for a walk
Exercising the soul with the past
Freeing mind and soul for the tomorrow

Walker

Something

2010-07-14T01:23:00.000-04:00

I’m wandering around lost and confused
While the rest of the world moves on
Weaving in and around every mob
Searching for something I haven’t yet found

I find something new but it’s already old
Then something old but it doesn’t exist any more
Slipping and sliding through cracks of time
Falling with no bottom

From one dream to the next
Is it real or a new nightmare to explore?
Is it living or dieing?
Wandering aimlessly through the threads of time

Where
What does it all lead too?
The swerving through the aimless crowds
Between the other lost souls

When does it all end?
When the batteries die and the clock stops ticking
Or when we awaken from the dream
To what is left to find

What am I searching for?
Does it exist or is it part of a dream
A dream we all have
But can never hold

Lost and confused
Battered but not beaten
Limping forward in every direction
Searching for something that can’t exist

Walker

Two Black Holes

2010-07-13T00:37:00.001-04:00

Two black holes
That’s all that remain
Two black holes
Where there once was hope and desire

A hollow soul sucks up the dark shadows
Feeding on misery and dismay
Shitting out lost dreams
Before flushing them all away

The living dead
Zombies of the night
Lost souls
Meat to be consumed by the starving

Two black holes remain
Where there once was hope and desire
Before the spark went out and the whole, fucken, world, went, dark
Then silent

Dark shadows fill hollow souls
Staring out of two black holes
Looking for souls to consume
For a spark to ignite what’s dead

Two black holes
Dark windows to a soul that no longer exists
Lost to the shadows
Consumed by gluttons in the darkness

Two black holes
Dead eyes
Soulless
Meat

Silent Nights

2010-06-30T00:10:00.004-04:00

Where has it all gone?
Those days far and away
What has happened?
The smiling faces I always searched for

How did everything become so strange?
Those things so familiar
Who was that stranger in the night?
The one in the mirror

When did the color fall off the walls?
Those that held up the sky
Why did the rivers dry up?
When there were no more tears left to shed

Where am I going?
When there is no path to the past
What is there left?
But a hole in my pocket

How to move forward?
If you’re scared to fall
Who will be there to catch you?
If everyone, everything you know is in the past

When will there be another dawn?
If all there are is sunsets
Why can’t I find some thread?
To sow up the hole

Where…, what, How…who and when

Where…..

here

now…..

Magic Carpet Ride

2010-06-29T00:54:00.000-04:00

I stand at the end of a pier
A right and two lefts brought me here
Looking out into the night at the mist creeping over the water
Hiding everything from my sight along with my reflection

The lights of passing ships flicker in the night
Warning me or beckoning for me to reach for their glow
Luring me with their gentle graces dancing above the waves
Yet I fear falling into it’s deep dark hollow

The mists of time rise to embrace me
While ghostly hands attempt to carry me away on a floating carpet
Voices from the past tug me back from the edge
Voices to far to understand what they say

The mist swallows up the pier leaving but a cloud to stand on
Standing on the edge of eternity looking up at the stars
They look closer now; almost close enough to touch
Almost, yet still to far away

We stand at the precipice of life
On the backs of our dreams to keep us afloat
Surfing the clouds to the sky with one outstretched arm
Flying a magic carpet

The Searchers

2010-06-22T10:43:00.001-04:00

What am I searching for?
Where am I going?
How can I find what I have never had?
That which was given away before I existed

I just want to melt away
To flow with the rivers to the oceans
To rise up above the world
Then rain down to wash away the pain left behind

Why must I keep searching?
What compels me to go on down this road?
How can I reach what eludes us all?
That which we never had

I just want to spread my wings
To fly up to the sky
To feel the wind against my face, beneath my wings
Then I can crash back down to they’re reality

When did it all go wrong?
Why do, did we all let this happen?
Can it be changed, turned around?
As we walk on the graves of time

I just want to stand on the tallest mountain
To breath in a lungful of freedom
To feel its energy fill my soul
So I would know that it was worth the search

What will it take to make it right?
Where do I go?
What do I have to pay?
Before the interest is to high

I just want to sail away
Someplace far and away
Where there is nothing to do but looking up at the sky
As it looks down on me

Walker

Standing Guard

2010-06-21T23:14:00.000-04:00

I leaned against a tree among trees
An ancient soul amidst other silent souls
Standing guard in the night looking up through twisted limbs
Up at the sky and the stars among the other lost souls

I listen to the tears as they fall from withered fingers
Floating gently to the ground
One after the other they fall
Covering the world with a blaze of color

A tree falls in the night
Crashing to the earth with a thunderous roar
Yet no one hears anything
Or notices in the morning

Only the silent souls know the loss
And the stars as they welcome another light to the night
High up among the clouds
Winking down on the world

How many trees must fall before they are noticed
How many souls must light up the night to be seen
When the forest is gone
Who will look at the stars as they weep in the night

I look up at the sky
Wondering what it all means
What has this tree seen
Should I be pissing on it

Walker

Screw The Rest

2010-06-18T00:37:00.002-04:00

Day in and day out
We rise from the grave
To walk out among the crowds
To get lost among the rest

We push and shove the rest away
To get what we want
Until we to are shoved aside
By someone with bigger and stronger desires

We chase and crawl over the their wake
Tripping and falling as we try to catch up
Making way to get through
But not before those behind stampede past the now cleared path

Battered and bruised on the side of the road
Watching and waiting
Waiting for the sun to fall in the west
For the carpet of night to carry us to our coffins

Until morning when we will rise once more
To walk among the crowds
To engage in the battle of life
And the survival of our sanity

Walker

I Walk Until...

2010-06-16T19:37:00.001-04:00

I walk down the road alone and free
I walk day and night
I walk from early dawn
Until the sun goes away

I walk and walk some more
I walk until I can’t no more
I walk
Until I fall on the ground

I walk through rain and snow
I walk under the blazing sun or in the bitter cold
I walk the hours away
Until I can’t anymore

I walk from yesterday to today
I walk from everything I love and hate
I walk to where I want to go
Until I am where I want to be

I walk across deserts
I walk past barren souls
I walk through darkness
Until I find the promised land

I walk out of the wilderness to the sea
I walk into the water and beyond
I walk into the sunset
Until I drowned in the dream

I walk until I can’t walk no more
Until there’s no more sunshine
Only darkness and the bitter cold
Until…..

Dusty Roads

2010-06-13T20:04:00.000-04:00

I’ve been traveling down these dusty roads for a long, long time
The names on the signs are all different
As are the faces of those I pass
Yet, they all look familiar

Some are tall, some small
People, houses, buildings and all
All the same as in the last village, town or city
As they will be in the next I find

I crossed oceans to find something different and new
But all I found was more of the same
I even went over mountains for something fresh to breath
But the air is the same there too

Green are my valleys
Dusty roads is what I leave behind
As I look for something new
Something new that would include you

I travel down dark roads
Searching for a ray of sunshine
For a break in the clouds to let a strand of light through
To follow to a new dawn, a new beginning

I walk along with my eyes to the sky
Looking for a crack in the sky
For a star to make a wish on
And the moon to follow to your heart and soul

Walker

One

2010-06-12T11:34:00.001-04:00

Today I sit and reflect
I think of what to do and where to go
To come this far only to stop
Then to look around and see, I never left

From the start I was alone
As I am now
I reached out for others
Until I spun a web around our world

We were a forest of souls
The sunshine and the bitter cold in the winter
Sharing the same air we breathed
The tears that rained from the sky

Growing tall and wide
Our roots and branches reached out
Entwining, bonding us as one
Yet, still alone in our minds

Still free to be who we want to be
Captives, prisoners of our desires
Slaves to our needs
Our pain

Time takes it’s toll
Eating up withered branches
As lightning strikes down the unexpected
Sending shudders throughout the web

Bonds fade away with each lost soul
Leaving gaps where there were none
Until the forest has dwindled back to just one
To sit here and reflect

Petrified Thoughts

2010-06-11T11:22:00.003-04:00

Out of the mists and into the burning fires
Time is frozen in the mist
While it races with a fury among the flames
Consuming everything it touches

Ash and dust remain of the past
Laying there to be blown into yesterday
Fertilizing tomorrow for those who remain
If any

Black smoke will rise to the heavens
Bringing night to day for a thousand year
A thousand more of rain and snow
As dark clouds shed their burning tears

Covering the earth with a filthy blanket
Knitted by greedy fingers
Bought by the ambitious
Paid for by the innocent

Night ruled for a millennia
Before the sun burned a hole in to have a peek
Bringing a new dawn to dieing sunset
A new beginning

Petrified behind a sheet of cold glass
The past hides from the future
Waiting to be unleashed once more
To walk the face of a new earth

Lush and full of life
Rising out of the ashes
Blades of green pierce the gray dust of time
Hiding the past from virgin eyes

Until someone digs it up to start it all over again

Walker

A Tree In The Garden Of Eden

2010-06-03T12:57:00.002-04:00

Day after day
Walking down the same road
The same paths
Looking, trying to figure it all out before
Before the end of the road

Surfing clouds of hope
Carving roads through confusion
Taking time to look below
For a place to land
A place to call home

A garden to plant seeds
To grow life where life didn’t exist
Someplace new to sow generations
To cast fear to the four winds
And dance on a breeze, a wisp of breath

Mile after mile
Mountains, rivers and oceans pass by
Dissolving into memory with the rest
Etching a map of time to remember
When there is nothing left to see through hollow eyes

Time is shallow when it slowly pours out
Spilling on the ground
Nourishing the future with the past
Growing freely to the stars
With roots deep down into the soul

Walker

Long Time Coming

2010-05-23T02:10:00.003-04:00

It’s been long, so long
To long to remember
Not to long to forget
Just long, so long

When did time fly by?
When did the seconds race away with the minutes?
Swallowing up the days, weeks and years
Until all that’s left, is now

It’s been long
Since the days of old
From when everything was perfect
Even when it wasn’t right

How can I find the days I long for once more?
Without giving up what I have
What I lost
Or what I never had

It’s been long, so very long
Since I held someone warm in an embrace
Sweet lips on mine
Tied and entwined in the same space, same time

Why did we let go?
Fall apart into an abyss to high to climb out of
To deep to soar free from
Left to stare up at the only glimmer left in the sky above

It’s been a long time since way back then
When the truth was a mystery
Innocence was joy
Before it blossomed into reality

How did it all become so complicated?
Why can’t I remember what I will never forget?
It’s been long since I turned away from the light
And swallowed up by the night

It’s been a long time since I have been alive
Whole
When will live bend down to kiss my mouth
To awaken me from my sleep

The apple of my eye
Her sweet nectar on my lips
Her breasts to keep me fed
Her womb to keep warm

Dream Weaver

2010-05-21T23:05:00.001-04:00

Where the sun touches the earth
Is where I’ll be waiting
When the light of day embraces the night
I’ll be lying in the tall grass braiding the blades into dreams

When the cold air brushes by
The mists will rise up to the sky
Where there was once nothing but space
There is now a stairway to the heavens

Where the clouds were to far to reach
Are now all around
When dreams were images of hope
Wishes and desires of escape

When time stands still
Life becomes living
Where there was nothing
There is something out of nothing

Where I had nothing
There is something
When all fails
I lay in the tall grass

When there is nothing to do
I think of you
Where there is nothing left
There is always me

Where else can I go to find what I want
But in the tall grass of my dreams
When the sun sleeps in the horizon
So the moon can fall into my arms

When will the sun once again awaken
How long before you have to leave me again
Where will I go when you’re gone
And they mow the braids away

Beneath The Ashes

2010-05-13T17:03:00.000-04:00

As easy as day fades into night
Happiness can be swallowed up by sadness
Each second is a moment you can’t escape
Only accept when it comes

Everything you have
Everything you know
Can disappear within a blink of an eye
Just like an escaping breathe that you can never recapture

From the castle in the sky to a heap of ashes
Dieing embers are all that remain as a reminder
A reminder of the warmth that once was
To the smoke and stink that now is

Inside the smoke
Memories dance all about
Darting through invisible walls
From room to room entwining with others until there is but one

One memory, one life
Dancing in a whirlwind of time
Blowing out any smoldering embers and ashes away
Revealing only what lies beneath

Left to only stand above a mirror
Looking down as it reflects back in time
The sun smiling up from the blue heavens
Amidst the darkness scattered all about

As a phoenix is reborn from the ashes of time
Memories live on forever
Reborn through word of mouth
Stored on shelves next to every heartbeat

As easy as sadness can swallow up happiness
Hope can brush away dismay
The wind will clear the smoke
Before the phoenix rises from the ashes

Walker

The Leaf

2010-05-03T22:18:00.000-04:00

I sit on a stump in this quiet wood
Lost in an ocean of thought
Drowning in a sea of doubt
While fighting back waves of desire

I struggle within myself
To do what I am told to do
To be what I don’t want to be
To carry a burden that I never wanted

I get lost within a trapped mind
Enslaved by rules and laws
Imprisoned behind moral walls
Without doors or windows to escape from

In a make believe forest I find solace
A paradise without roads
Without walls, without clothes
Just naked against the truth

I sit on a stump reaching out for that one lonely leaf
Feeling its smooth texture between my finger
Before crushing it against me
Then flushing as I walk out back into reality

Walker

Once Upon A Life

2010-04-30T23:18:00.002-04:00

Once upon a time
Life was different
Happier and free
I used to run with the wind
Fight battles I choose to fight
Slept without a conscious

Once upon a time
A fork lay in the road
To the right, the known
The left, the unknown
I walked up the middle and fucked the world
I found purgatory, home

Once upon a time
I ran with the pack
Brothers and sisters of Gabriel
Sons and daughters of sin
The fallen, children from the shadows
Reapers of the night

Once upon a time
A storm crossed troubled skies
Raining fire and brimstone on our world
Taking its toll on blackened souls, swallowing up the many
Leaving but a few, to remember
To recall, to stand defiant against the night

Once up a time
Laughter filled the night
Scaring fear back into the shadows
The reapers, jesters destined for hell
Partied through the night
While battling the demons in the day

Once upon a time
Night and day were lovers
Now prisoners to their own fate
Bound by the sun
Imprisoned by time
Guarded by the moon’s shadow

Once upon a time in a life

Searching

2010-04-28T22:28:00.000-04:00

Step after step
Down roads I never seen
To a new day
A new dawn and a new way

Past old memories
Old reflection hiding behind every mirror
Past dieing seconds, minutes
Days that will never be once again

Away from yesterdays
Away from what I wanted
To somewhere I never seen
A future, a new dawn for today and tomorrow

Broken chains on the ground
Shackles that bound my soul
Freedom I have now found
From who I wanted to be

From the shadows to the light
To stand under a full moon to shine
To shine with the other lights in the sky
Trying to be seen

Step by step into the void
Coloring the way with every breath
Searching, looking
For me

Beaches

2010-04-26T00:33:00.000-04:00

The shades are drawn
As the day is now night
The sun has run away
Abandoning me to the moon and stars

Alone on this beach
With feet awash in the oceans of life
Drowning with every wave
Gasping for just one more breath to move on

I stare into the night
Searching for a guiding light
One to show me the way
The way to the promise land

Searching for a place
A place with no name
A destination without an address
A beach on this Earth but not on any land or under any sea

I look at the pebbles in the sky
Some brighter than the rest
Others to small to see
The ones looking for me

Each step a footprint to be left behind
Every wave to wash them away
Leaving a blank canvas
For someone else to walk by

Across sandy beaches I travel
While life licks at my feet
As the moon and stars follow from above
Into the darkness and towards home

Walker

Touch

2010-04-21T12:56:00.000-04:00

Shhhhhhhh…

Listen…
Listen to nothing
To everything
Listen…

Gently touch your face with your hands
Remove any glasses if you wear them
Feel you face
Touch who we all see

Each and every crease
Every line
Trace the smiles that have been as they run up your cheeks
The pain written across your forehead

Cup your face in your hands
Resting your chin on the left hand
Molding its imprint on your palm
Pushing your head up

With the right, grab your throat
Feel the pulse of life pushing through the skin
Let the left hand feel its power in its palm
As it resists any pressure

Let both hands fall to your breast
Close your eyes and feel what’s pounding inside
Press curled fingers deep into your chest
Feel the soul as it awakens to your desire

Stand erect, head held high
Release your hands to your hips then press them forward
This is our tallest moment
Where we can touch the earth and heaven on our own

Let them slide down your hips, to your knees
Bending towards the ground
Feeling their roots firmly planted to the ground
Just before falling forward while grasping for our heels

Curled up like the fetus we all once were
Laying in our heaven
Our hell
Ours

Is everything backwards?
Is the ground heaven and the sky the earth?
Do we plunge into heaven?
After we soar into the earth

Reach up and push your fingers through your hair
Eyes wide open then take a deep breath
Feel the wind burn its way through your lungs
As renewed life fills up all the empty spaces

Reach and touch who you are
Feel the person you want to feel within your breast
Touch what you’ve never touched
Find who you always were through the tips of your fingers

Walker

Have You

2010-04-15T03:35:00.001-04:00

Have you ever stood out among the nothing?
Just stood there without an agenda
Like a tree swaying in the wind
Feeling the unseen fingers pass through every opening
Caressing you body in a way that it has never been touched before

Feeling the grass grow up from between your toes

Have you ever wanted to stand out there day after day?
Watching the sun rise every morning
Chasing it across the sky until a sunset bursts into flames in the far off horizon
Then silence and darkness but the stars and the moon

Being embraced by a blanket fog in the night

Have you even wanted to stand outside as the seasons changed?
Smell the spring and fresh life blossoms from all around
Energized by the summer sun until fall when life comes to an end under winter’s blanket

A snowflake lands on your nose

Have you ever wanted to stand outside naked spread out to the four winds?
To be absorbed by the elements all around

Have you ever wanted to feel alive?

The Junkie

2010-04-14T00:00:00.000-04:00

Dreams I used to live and still do
In the shadows of my existence
Watching, listening to the world around
Understanding what I can never understand

Waiting for a sliver of light to tear open the unknown
To see what’s on the other side of the darkness
From behind this curtain
This veil separating what is, from the truth

Dissecting everything I know
Peeling off the layers that conceal what’s within
Seeing what’s hidden beneath
Beneath the dieing skin of the world

I see and hear the love from the light
Deceit staring back from the shadows
Laughter from a crowd
Tears from a washroom stall

Floating from shadow to shadow
I move past their lives
Parting the blue smoke of time
With a finger on the pulse of their dreams

Feeling what they feel
Listening to their dreams, desires
As I travel through their eyes into their souls
To get high on their lust for life

Two fight outside
Two kiss on the steps
One wishes in the corner
While another dreams through the reflection of time

I feed off emotion
Fueling my desires with the fires of life
The anger and love
Rolled up into one ball of fire

In the shadows I sit
Waiting for life to light up the night
To wake up to the world
As dreams come to life

I Remember

2010-04-13T00:01:00.000-04:00

I remember when I was young
The friends I had
The things I did
Times ill spent

I hear the footsteps still in my head
Played again and again by my mind like a broken song
They’re always fading away
Yet never gone

I feel the pain through my eyes
As I feel the love through my heart
The soul knows
As it drowns in emotion

I know what is real
Yet I seek the fantasy
The dreams hidden away from the rest
Deep in the abyss of my soul

I write the lyrics of my song
Play the beat that gives it life
Dance to its tune
As I get lost between the lines

I touch everything
With hungry fingers and eyes
Feasting on what’s given
Nourishing my mind and soul with what I don’t posses

I sleep to escape my prison
To be free of my bonds
So I can live the dream
The dream I had from the womb

I remember what I touch
I remember what I feel
I remember what I hear
I remember when I sleep

I remember the dream……..

Ahhhhh

2010-04-12T09:56:00.000-04:00

Come walk away with me
To go search for what might be
Run from here to there
Far, far, away to somewhere new to see

To swim in foreign oceans
Climb the unattainable mountain
From jungles to forests
By dawn’s early light to burning sunsets

Soaring with the birds
Or burrowing with the sun in a far off horizon
From a deep abyss
To the top of the illusion

Free to rise among the few
Or to fall with the rest
To say no to what’s new
To keep only what is the best

Through deserts looking for an oasis
A deserted island to discover
A place away from what is
A home to call forever

Walking through time
Searching for nothing and everything
Not always in one direction
But meandering throughout the great nothing

Grasping Life

2010-04-11T19:07:00.001-04:00

I look down at my hands
Hold one up to inspect
Lifting a finger to look at
Then the other hand and its digits

Extending an arm out
Pointing a finger as far as it could reach
Then the other arm to the west
While measuring the extent of my world

Slowing spinning round and around
Whirling within the circle of my world
Creating the wind meant to carry me away
Away into the night and the stars above

Into the darkest corners of my existence to explore
To find what makes me feel what I don’t
To feel what I don’t want to feel
Live what I have to feel

Embracing what’s within my world
With extended arms and a bared soul
Begging to be pierced
To feel what it is to be alive again

To grasp with both hands
Before plummeting back to earth
With the feeling flowing through clutched fingers
While smiling all the way to the ground

I Walk

2010-04-10T00:48:00.002-04:00

I walk across a dark valley
Passing shadows born of yesterday
Shadows begging for a speck of light
Begging for another tomorrow

Cold fingers grasp at my soul
Attracted by it’s still burning light
Craving what they squandered
Or what was stolen from them

I walk into the unknown
With both eyes closed
Looking for the unseen
The forgotten shadows of the past

Kicking up dried tears with every step
To breath in the pain of the ages
Coughing up a storm
To puke out the guilt of time

I walk into the night
Fearless and stupid to tomorrow
Away from yesterdays
With their memories and lost dreams

In the beginning with the huge heart of a child
Tomorrow was endless
Now with the small heart of an old man
Yesterday was a burden

I walk through the waste of my mind
Through the dark shadows of my sins
Beseeched by time and a conscience
Swallowing the shadows to give them life for one more moment

In the darkness it’s all clear and alive
To once more live among the dead of time
To suffer life in the cellar of my soul
While the shadows wander in limbo

I walk
I walk and walk
I walk into tomorrow
Carrying the shadows of time in the back of my mind

A Pack Of Memories

2010-04-07T10:12:00.000-04:00

I light a smoke
Then throw the match away
Like everything else that I have tossed
Left on the side of the road to smolder

Walking by as the thin line disappears
Blown away and forgotten with each step
As is most of everything in history
Dead and gone from the eyes to see, but not the mind

The bourbon burns it’s way as it passes
Yet the tongue still tastes bitter
The throat constricts
Choking on what was

Today, I want to remember
What I can’t see anymore
I want to choke on the truth
To suffocate within the past

Inside the delirium
I find what I don’t have
A breath I had once expelled
Oxygen that once gave life

In dreams lived
Nightmares had
Through the blood and pain
That never existed yet is the only reality

With each drag
More ashes are born to sweep away
More dust to cover the past
To hide the unforgettable

Smoke after smoke
Smoldering matches thrown aside
Searching for something to see
Something hidden away

With one last breath
One deep drag to blow out one final curtain
For the eyes to project the past to see
Until it’s time to light another smoke

Lost Change

2010-04-01T21:53:00.002-04:00

Leaning against the corner of a crumbling pyramid
I watched her as she walks by
Unseen to her or anyone else
I watched as she stumbles back and forth on weary legs

Pausing to lean against a post for a second
Before continuing the cadence she has chosen to live by
To walk down the street selling her soul
For a dime or a crumb to poison her mind

I watch the cars pass by
Some slow down, then speed up
She’s old at twenty-four
No one wants her anymore

Hours she paced from corner to corner
Until the sun disappeared
Midnight she strolled down the street
Where a black car stopped and she was gone

Following the moon and the stars
They lead me to sin and sacrifice
Through the night and dark shadows
Spotlighting everything along their path

Unveiling what’s hidden by the darkness
The homeless
The mad and lost, sane and insane
The black car parked on the corner

The North Star paints a path to follow
With the moon guiding my shadow along that way
The filth muffles my shoes
Only screaming tires pierce the night

A worn down shoe lies by a door
A door left ajar
Open for my shadow to spill in
To be swallowed by the darkness inside

The moon peeked in from the farthest corner
Beckoning my shadow to follow
To the end of time
To where the other shoe lay

I watch the smoke rise among the shadows
While the embers light up the night
I watch and wait, wait for the black car to return
For the reaper to come and collect the spare change on the street

The Chase

2010-03-31T18:09:00.001-04:00

The clouds chase the sun across the sky
I run as fast as I can to keep ahead
Trying to make this day stay longer with every stride
Every leap and gasp of breath

A wind comes to push the clouds faster
Chasing the sun above my head
It’s long rays reach down
Beckoning for my hand

Stumbling to my knees
The sun moves farther away
Farther from my reach
The clouds still close behind

I feel the change coming as I run to my feet
Racing across the barren sky
Chasing the sun into tomorrow
Before this day ends forever

The clouds lick at my heels
Weighing themselves on my body
Slowing me down until there is nothing
But the puddle I lay in

The sun is all but gone
Only its dieing flame lingers in the distance
A beacon to follow when the rain stops
And the clouds are gone

Another Year

2010-03-26T00:00:00.001-04:00

There is a day when it all begins
When your world becomes too small
A day when another world explodes into view
Spilling you from one womb and into another

When everything comes to life for the first time
In a new world that includes me
And you
A new existence from the last

The seconds passed, pass with every breath
Minutes turn to days
Hours into months and seconds
To years

The world that was once huge
Is now so small
Or have I gotten so big again
It’s closing in around me

Will I yet again burst from this womb
To land into another
Or is this the last vessel
The last space ship to the stars

Each cycle the days get shorter
The months evaporate into years
That which you used to look at
Was a reflection of the future

Every dieing second is a living minute
Each hour a purpose to continue
Until this day comes my way
So I can sit for a piece of cake as I live my way

There Was A Time

2010-03-25T01:15:00.000-04:00

There was a time when I knew everything
There was nothing I didn’t know
But now I don’t know
I don’t know if what I know is real or make believe

There was a time when I knew no fear
There was nothing that made me flinch
But know I don’t know
I don’t know if it’s worth the risk

There was a time when the world was quiet
There was a mystery to be had everywhere
But now I don’t know
I don’t know if the noises are real or just illusion

There was a time when there was no knowledge
There was only intrigue
But now I don’t know
I don’t know if the surprise is worth the suspense

There was a time when the earth was flat
There was no reason to go fall off the end of the world
But now I don’t know
I don’t know if we haven’t

There was a time when there was hope
Dreams, needs, wants, desires
Peace, love and freedom
But now I don’t know if we ever had any

There was a time when there were many things to have
There was reason to look beyond the horizon
But now I don’t know
Does anyone?

Cycle Of Destruction

2010-03-23T11:58:00.001-04:00

Out of the wilderness to the jungle
From innocence to guilt
Years of giving to taking handouts
Times changed from when the birds sang with the dawn

Family became strange
Strange became family
Home was safety from the street
Before the street became home

Dreams for tomorrow
Became yesterday’s nightmares
Smiles to frowns, knives for pencils
Red ink becomes the blood in our veins

Forty went out
Ten are gone by spring, twenty by fall
Thirty within a dime
Five remain alive, all insane

The wilderness borders the jungle
On the edge of the shadows
With it’s bright colors and innocence
Yet no one goes back

I sent out three birds for a sign
One was eaten by a rat
Another died of a broken heart
The third came back without its song

As our borders grow
The wilderness dies a little more
Until one day there will only be the jungle
Gray and broken, like a dream someone once had

Invisible Emotion

2010-03-21T00:00:00.001-04:00

What do I see that you can’t?
Feel what you don’t know
Know what you feel

What do I hear that you can’t hear?
Understand what I feel
Feel what I understand

What do I feel that you can’t feel?
Know what I feel
Understand what you feel

What do I say that you could understand?
To understand what I feel
So you could feel what I understand

What do I have to do to make you see?
Feel what I see
Make you see what I feel

What do we have to do?
To be noticed by you
Without being seen, by you

What is there to be done?
What do I have to give?
What do I need to do?

To exist and be free
