Life Meets Pen

let there be weaknesses

2010-09-24T00:32:00.000-04:00

my skin is grow red with stripes that don't belong
and i can't help but scratch and cry and glance
this body is growing sore and tired
and we're a confused bunch looking for a fellowship

the season is dry, the topic is unsound
but i need every chance for you to make that step for me
when my skin dies and rots away
my only answer remains within nothing but a heart beat

my hair and nails grow longer
but i'll contain them with time and a pair of scissors
and i'm growing distant from your holding your hand
your fluid, liquid touch that brought me to joy
my tears will never be enough to drown this body

all my limbs are short of purpose
every thought from a mindset like this is swaying
and the unbelonging thoughts are so ambidextrous
be graceful, oh god, for when i am as unsure
as this body swelling weather

you will lead me by those still, life-filling waters again

and where there is space that weakness creates
every gap is filled with your strength more and more

Home Under Dark Lights

2010-09-08T00:20:00.000-04:00

it is in this sunrise and sunset

that the world's greatest contrast

is displayed under the cloudy sky

blindness has been spilled tonight

here they stand naked and nothing to hold

there they lie, home to them, stepping stones to us

definitions are twisted but we are fine

we are fine, we are stupid

so here we are, wearing the heights of fashion

as alone as each broken headlight

as ignorant as a young child

"don't touch me with your hands"

"whatever you do to the least of these

you have done for Me"

Timeless Love

2010-07-27T00:25:00.000-04:00

this is long overdue
and long awaited
to the woman of older days
don't forget that you never faded

the first to hold me as your own
and the one who held me close
as treasure so dear to your heart
and like this, your love shows

the one who told me time again
that the bullets would be yours to take
as if my life was more than it was
this death of yours would be for my sake?

you've sacrificed time and effort
and lead me through times of missing the mark
but you pull through, like the hero in those stories
and you loved me when i was unstable in my walk

and i know you won't be here forever
you won't hold my hand every night
but i will remember you, your name, your touch
and you will be the last to leave my fading mind

to you my mother. happy birthday.

Bounce Goes Love

2010-07-21T23:31:00.001-04:00

If I asked you to draw out love
What would I ever see?
It seems to me that all I see
Is love made out of springs

The cliché repeats itself over and over
“This is no ending, just a beginning”
But that mouth becomes twisted
And love is just what happens under the sheets

I heard a story about you with poems and music
Mirrors and creativity, and I swore you wouldn’t let go
But look at you now, with ignorance towards us
Pray for peace, because others are in pieces

But we can’t hold the gavel to your life
We can’t sing like your song is ours
But to whom will you live, to whom will you try?
Because the world is made of more than just one person in your life

Listening Again

2010-07-06T02:35:00.002-04:00

this is all familiar, this is all young
in the speech of relevance and silent weeping
i come across thoughts that seem buried beneath the snow
and melted away with moving on
but just like how you always were in my heart from a time before
you linger on, and you dropped by

i thought i had lost you, i thought i left it behind
but i remember the explosions in my head
that rang loud and reminded my sore eyes of
excitement flashing and bursting from a forward thought
but that passion walked grew old and weary
should i wipe the dust and make no more sore
the aching spinal cord of this fire

i cried for something again and again
but dishonesty makes itself known, and i remember every step
every pace and every sound that was made
when i saw the end, reparation is no matter
this was it, did you want this conclusion?

let it be known that my feelings are numb
but my love exists and stands
the choices i've made for you remain
and when you need to hear my voice again
i am only a word away

Around the Corner

2010-06-16T00:13:00.002-04:00

this sidewalk of learning is coming to a corner
and this whole time, i've been wanting to hit the road
ground and running to no where
everywhere, and maybe the lie is true
my education will bring me home some day

but as the sun draws higher to positions
where the land is vivid
no shadow walks the earth except mine
and ours, and hours still will move
how lovely this song of mine will slowly become

but with each event of flailing arms
comes the cost of pushing, and hard circumstances
the mind is put to the test at times where it shouldn't
ungodly hours will reverse my patterns
but i will get by, i will see my steps emerge from dust to
castles and beyond

The Sea

2010-06-14T16:22:00.003-04:00

all i see are my friends drowning in weakness
oh the sea, the sea, i see the tide
coming in to sweep us off our feet
then drop us down, consumes us at our worse

all i can wonder at is looking up
with doubt and anger pulling us down
the new anchor, the new gravity
let loose your grip and let go of their legs

may we know for sure that the sun sets
for only hours at times
and rises every morning with something new
and that we see everything then

suffering and troubles may bend our backs
make sore our arms as the burden rests heavy
but they bring out in us perseverance
and then the story begins

from perseverance, hope blossoms out
and hope may never disappoint
for it was made to make light the rocked heart
that hope will stay with us forever

The Poisonous Serenade

2010-05-31T17:53:00.002-04:00

This hazard embrace is deciphering me
It reads me, knows me, infects me
This is the lake of sin that i sink into
It brims my hearts cup
Oh God, pour your oil of love
And cause this water to overflow out
Pray it never touches me again

Why, Rough Day

2010-05-10T01:10:00.002-04:00

The morning sky opens bright
With the catched sight of red blood
From the most intelligent places
And the most unseen circumstances
That tear your eyes open
Like the walls that we think come down

And then the dream, the example of sacrifice
We embrace, we are desperate, I am trying
With all strength found, I hold on to you
I see you, I don't let go, just as the sun hangs on to the earth
My tears will soak your shoulder
And we will fall to our knees

So I dream, but comes the horror
The scream, the plead, the knife
My back destroyed, the flesh violated
It makes a way to the heart, just like love
But do not fret, do not be afraid
For this is just a dream

But once it was alive from before, from years ago
When our two halves were made whole
Through the holes of His wrists
Where tears and blood overflowed
But all the same, where grace and love was poured over the earth
As this oil is poured over our heads today

Love never fails

The Mood

2010-04-22T22:41:00.002-04:00

We were born into simple families
Crawling as desperate as to walking
Seeing the many colours, figuring the world out
Are we in the mood to figure our minuscule selves?

Your thoughts grow appealing, speech eloquent
Your skin expands as your eyes grow wider
See the fashions that flash before your expanse
Are we in the mood to try something new?

Pick up the dress, the sweater, the look
The cloth that hides your weakness and your ancient shame
From the sickness you shivered and how you forget the Name
Are we in the mood for a little bit of compromise?

Glass

2010-04-11T18:37:00.002-04:00

(collab between py and i)

Halfway across the world, let's play a game of catch
on a whim the slave of this heart is taken captive
"Even thieves in the night can't steal my heart"
is what they whisper under this deserted moonlight shadow-
your impulse tells the story of how freedom sings your life's songs
so why do we still tug at broken strings, chasing winds across desert plains?

the world sees this tale of uncertainty, as plural as space
hand signs, eye signals, facebook relationship updates.
you are married, you are complicated, you wish you weren't single
yet you're but a single open hand, simple; the gravity holds you to this ground
you will never see the stars with a flow like yours

the lottery numbers are rolling, this thinking is as sporadic as your intentions
encased in falsity, grandeur idea, you are the death of us all, you are the humannequin
masquerades and the manufacturer's lines, we are drowning in this conformity
you are spilling out, like a production, when can you leave us be?
the crowds are verging on your state of destruction

when you can leave us be?

Bye Bye, Blue Honey

2010-04-03T21:57:00.002-04:00

I smile a lot
At the lovely moving things
Screaming Hello creation
I am born, renewed from dust

I am not the cornerstone
I am not my own
These thoughts are not mine
But to my hands can they be sure
Of what I messily write them to

A bird flew past the dead
I wish to steal my life back
Says the metaphorical corpse
Tradition, religion, I speak not of, I reply
You can steal away my life
But you can't steal away my reason for it

I can sing of relationship
Unseen by eyes, the greatest picture by faith
Do you choose like I do?
Stretch out your broken wrists, open your painful hands

We all are
received
redeemed
Like a gift wrapped in a blanket of divinity and a tree

Do you smell so sweet, like honey in the air
But you have swallowed me enough, ocean to world, rain to earth
You are my blue honey, once in my hands
But I open wider, not mine no more

I am a wretch in love
With the one with healing stripes

A Lover's Loss

2010-04-02T00:13:00.002-04:00

Malsickened, men of woe
Who travel such abstract distances
Whom search, but stumble
They find no solution to all toils they hold

What heights we've seen for these of such
That we contain disaster in the bottles
They collect dust, but we journey with them
Never to dispose of it, never to find the love

Our flesh and bone have failed, flatline but unseen
But what if, on crazies and senses
That we still don't admit it
That keeps us trapped inside your bottles

I've sold out my voice to tell the truth
With words dried and tongue tired
You are hopeful, so you say, but God is invisible
Hope is in the invisible, not the immediate

Depression, Meek

2010-03-23T22:33:00.002-04:00

Soul set high on the shelf
Not to collect corrupted air particles
But to be set even higher
It awaits the hand, the very print of the finger
To pick it up, up, up

And all this from the weeks
And the ends of those to prepare
To then the days we yell, scream, sing
To worship a king who needs not us
But wants us for all we are, not all we have

But the wind in the lungs that inhales and exhales
Quickly, in, out, bigger, smaller, it dwindles away
We say the wind is knocked out of us
But should we not question not of how it disappeared
But how we let it fly away?

Like how we welcome the winter snow as
A mourning prologue to the stories of summer
Breathing in fresh air and fresh prayers
We seek not, we tell not, we sing not
So we live not, where then shall we go

Skip past the posts of depression
Let the highs be lows, thus the skies the highs
And thus the skies heavenly, or limitless
For we know a God that knows higher things

Then let us soar to those higher highs, and become
Those of light hearted wings
We will forever sing to and join to the crux of life

Wrong Turn, Right People

2010-02-13T00:57:00.002-05:00

It's that true sorry moment that hangs
That true "I wish I could be there for you"
Like my Father, did I know
That you fell so down and cold

It's like that spark of sadness
Every candle I lit never did seem to last long enough
The wax trickles down and it burns
It burns out the saving melody, the redemption

Proper and oh so proper, love lost and
Oh the temptation I've seen shocks me
That your felling is short of grace
But it shall be that grace that you will find in me

In love, and from the toiled sands from years ago
And in the sand, the blood that took me home
I shall retell you the story of warmth in my head
And my heart, and it puts to rest even the hardest of souls

The pain that healed us from the bloody indents of chains
The wounds that left the scars, with every story engraved
The priceless blunt ended, oak-tree needles that had no choice
But to enter the innocence

All the torture and tears, the shame and the flogging
Told history that this is the greatest story ever told
There's life in the death, searching the faith in the loss
You are surrounded by the ones that love you

Take the word, we'll take you in

Awful. Nice. Can't. Colours

2010-01-30T02:26:00.005-05:00

I must say
you're an awful good hider of word-keeping
awful good person to have fallen for, and then raise an eyebrow to
awful good person to be a sucker for
what an awful choice of mine
and what a good opportunity for you to slip

I must say
it's an awful nice day to be sitting with tables and loves
it's an awful nice day to watch your mouth curve at the sight of me
it's an awful nice day to discover the stubborn connections
what an awful thing to observe
and what a nice thing of you to dwell on

Perhaps then
we could step back a pace or two
we could retrace to those lost winter nights
we could turn time's hands, cracking those bones and world records
too bad we could've
too bad we can't

Perhaps then
we could call it a golden day
we could call it a blue suit to stand through
we could call it a red eye, the light to close to reality
the colours won't change
and neither can it change for me

We've Got Fears to Chase

2010-01-17T23:04:00.002-05:00

For I am Afraid
Scared to death of dying
Blinded from darkness and suffering from suffrage alone
Supported by system of life and live by love
For I am afraid

But I am afraid
I am afraid that fear is a man knocking, waiting at my door
A door I will gracefully open not because I am vulnerable, but I am sure
Sure that being scares is the beginning of something natural
Natural enough to shape my clay into my image
I am afraid, phobia, you have lost to me

Because I am afraid
Fearful of something I can not see
But smarter, wiser, brighter that these lean eyes become
For it is the fear that bring my wisdom home in its shining, sparkling carriage
I am afraid that you just lost to me, fear and phobia, be fearful of me

I Am

2010-01-01T02:01:00.003-05:00

I am in a crisis
I am out of control
I am seeing things the way I don't want to
And find myself in deeper below

I am in collision
I am in the clash
I am the colours disproportionate
And it's not easy to patch

I am in need of help
I am in need of prayer
I am incomplete now that I am compromised
So I am in need if a Saviour

Though I may not hear the crash and the bang
Though I may not feel the beats
Though I may not sense the lovely noise behind me
I will still hold on for my two feet

And oh God, you walk my path for me

Majestic Rise of Resolution

2009-12-30T17:30:00.007-05:00

New day, new light
And dear God, please no new moon
Dealt with the life kept in year bottle
Now coming close to a close, new page to turn
Please bent body, stay alive with an old pen

They say I'm never too far to fix the sick stroke of hand
Messy splot, looks familiar, like the person in the mirror
Tangible entanglement, inlovely imperfection,
...,,,...,,,... what more can one add to one minus everything

So I imagine the first jump of the night
The first toss of my soul to the audience of One
The first swing of the hand and pick and string
Seems soon, it is soon, and I want to be ready
But readiness is like a leaf just too high, I the just too short
Let's step on the ball and grab it again

But until things seem brighter, I invite redemption
Salvation, bring forth my tight gracious grip
That I may make this miss minute
Over tick tocks and click clocks
Sooner than later, but later if nothing else
But if I may hit the bottom line, just love me so

Doors Behind Hands

2009-12-23T01:47:00.002-05:00

Is it so late and so wrong to ponder of that past hit and miss
So belittling of self esteem to wonder of how emotion broke promise
No perhaps not, no not one moment too late
But is it dangerous? Every bit as much as lightning comes tumbling down

I've never been so afraid to love like the rich to their money
Never so fearful to fall in likes and loves, life like lemons
It's nothing new, no one showing up at my hearts door
But you'd break my hope down if I ever dared try again

Well until my world grows old and weary
Until it calls out to me to search for that single heart to be crowned
Then maybe I can boldly walk that path and not trip over my two left feet
But until then, I don't think I should love like this again

Miss the slip, we're all going to find that scented wind
The lady of the long awaited, man of the long patient
Beyond this school of thought is something more to take us all home
Pray you find it, you'll have to cross the loves regardless

Where is my Life

2009-12-23T01:40:00.003-05:00

Shoot me down this hold of deepers deep
Lose your name, time and that precious scarf
Scars of numbers and the weight it has
Well since when did being light hearted become so heavy?

Ran the track of time, oh sleeping precious time
Burden sleep, burden die! Burden take up all by lines
Seems like I will sleep after I die
I don't want to miss love, but miss the divide

Love like crazy and faint till breath be cumbersome
Eyes go Green and my plaid shirt would fade
So just before I leave this poem behind
Remember me for who I really am...

Missed the Line

2009-12-03T21:58:00.000-05:00

Just drink carbonated drinks and I'll be alright
Would it be complex to be repetitive?
Or bother to make this simple line rhyme?
Speaking of pictures is numbing to the dry mind

When the weight of their words is slowly pulling me down
Burstings of colours, red white green mahogany, makes me feel
Like I want to be somewhere else to sing their words
To sleep, to sleep, to sleep, to rest my dear head

But mercy and prize seem to be at ends with each other
They speak the same stanza and I want to be caught up
In their glorious daylight of jumping outside of paralysis
Is this the bucket of lines that've waited for me to write

Boast, we boast of things to say and the money in hand
But who would think that deadlines become day and night
Listen to this front of words when it speaks to you this
These words are honest, not eloquent, loud, not unspeakable

A Ship Stained, A Ship Pushed

2009-11-23T23:25:00.003-05:00

A cry I heard from closest means
A disturbance from within wingspan
You were just out of reach
Now are you too close to become free?

Stay the course! shouted I
Not knowing the storm the ship would die in
Half past dead because death can't stop us
But what would it take to patch the sail again?

We know not of rain, not of clouds but of dust
Unsure of what to see but we moved through anyways
Knowing that lights and mystic silences would keep us through
Storm of ocean rise and roaring thunders, soar with me, you say

So graceful, persecution of the enemy through this darker space
Black flash blinding, we'll lose another man
But you will not stop us from storming the gates
You will lose to us, to joined hands and stomping feet

To cadence and salvation, we sing the old blues of a saviour
Oh, keep us not dismayed but holding tightly
You promised us wings to fly with so we'll close our eyes
And bow our heads and you will show us our real reveries

The Burial of Flanders Fields

2009-10-26T23:22:00.005-04:00

"In Flanders Fields the poppies grow
Between the crosses row on row
And I don't care of what you say
Let us continue this silent day"

Why do we sing these songs of grave?
"Hallelujah's" and felt red flowers never save
"Lest we forget" is now overrated
By our intentions, we are the animated

Days end we sing of culture again
Selfishness, ignorance layer our hands
We know not of the fire they fought before
Let their memories overwhelm us, like the war

The tide of condition of humanity alone
Has pulled veils over eyes, and we, stand as souls
Remember the blood, the shed the loss
We must know the meaning of the stone cross

Lest we forget
The strike of human condition is our new alarm clock
no ring, no snooze, no set time
eerie cry after cry and scream per person
"Roses are red, violence is blue
on the day of 11, we have died for you"
The stain of blood from face to face
passes down as time goes unbearingly by
Where we sit and sleep like tomorrow is unwanted
Where back in the years, tomorrow was a sign of luck

Who's to Say

2009-10-08T00:04:00.003-04:00

When you were to observe the room you're in
And watch as the hundreds of faces you loved till death
Had done you apart, they all turned blue
They all turned hypocritical all of a sudden

Let no unwholesome talk leap off your tongue
Slowly but surely becomes a suggestion
Let every word build up character to better so's
Well whatever we say passes when we're in command of this shipwreck

Feelings, they mix with matters at hand when they show sign
Of the disknowledge and the anywho's we encounter so
Rugrats and carpet thugs, they eat away the ground we stood upon
As the chip of the old dust becomes deterioration to every level of this house

But who's to say whose life belongs to whosoever who's?
Lest judgment plummeted into the hands of one who knew not of it so well
Perhaps we'll spell each letter of apology for you? But no
We are to seek and find and look behind the door ourselves, are we not?

So young children, to you I sing my song of pleadance and love
As I grow young to old with you, we all make the mistake of life compromise
Let not blue spinning earth throw you off the walking track
But we are called to be firm, more so mature than we believe

Syllable After Boring Syllable

2009-09-26T23:47:00.003-04:00

Seems like when things change
We tend to lose our thinking
And nothing's what's right

I run, watch things fall
Collapse from it's boring bricks
Works with laziness

Shut your eyes for now
Listen for scattered noises
You know it's not right

So I will not coat
This with a sugar-sweet scent
I will be honest

Times will come to lose
Losing is what builds us up
So learn from fool's wrath

When

Clocks in a Golden Box

2009-09-15T00:36:00.001-04:00

When will the sun come around my corner?
When will the moon take its toll and leave?
Because our eyes have to meet before the clock turns grey
Before the rain patters and snow tumbles and the clouds get angry

The sky is blue, but will slowly turn to brown
This town is getting older and older, as the same trees grow
And when they become taller and taller, the snow will fall tenfold
I question whether the day our footprints cross will ever come

Because if the snow fell so hard that it met my face
Then that will be the day that tells us too hard
That we will have to wait for the snow to depart
To let the salt rot away every bit of cold to home

Let's admit the crimes we made through this
That we haven't given the gifts that care made
So when our hands shake and arms embrace
Open your hand, I have something to offer
And I'll open mine, and we'll treasure the time together

Monsters and the Like

2009-09-03T03:16:00.006-04:00

Chaos opens a brand new serenade of shadows
When you're a walking definition of irony and contradiction
What can you gain if you never lose a thing
To make the space to replace the sick and twisted

Why are you giving in? Why are you looked down on
Why are you buying yourself a brand new god?
Rusted and broken from all the rocks he's made of
You were built for more than this earth we burn

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Now I ask myself the question of whether my feet shall take me far
Through the more so winding roads that I've seen all this time
Should dedication and devotion derive from emotion and attachment
Then this hurricane will last longer than we hope for

Should all the world's eyes see you and melt away
From the horrid heart-shatter we've come to define as victims
Then you can cast your burden and weary eye to higher hands
And ye shall soon see just how magnificent of a light we're dealing with

Senses Drowned

2009-09-03T02:20:00.004-04:00

It's the haunting sight of your name and face
What stops me from looking properly into others
You and all your stories to tell take my eyes off, but on you
Hoping you'll see in me the truth and lie and contradiction

It's the shaking taste of the drink in my hand
That tastes so bittersweet without the bad taste for habits
Endings trickle the back end of the tongue and I want to speak
But words from the back of my mouth are at the back of my mind

It's the shocking sound of the voice you emit
Something familiar, the refreshing glow of a noise
That ricocheted from wall to wall to ear
All too much the same, all that much more different and silent

It's the short moment of touch from shoe to dress
I'm sitting down, you're walking past my breath and I sense nothing
Short moment to shorter moments and nothing is hand to hand
I remember the time I could know your emotions through words

It's the desensitizing aroma that I could somewhat breathe
Though I was never close enough to know your scent of fresh air
I've always thought things were made to arouse the peak of joy
Now it's all drained out, these vents take you closer to out

All my feeling is getting closer to the slipping edge of the dive
You heard me wrong, I saw you walk off differently
I felt the touch of nothing, you never smelled my blood and sweat
We've got the bad tastes for disbelief

I'm singing I wanted something of the feeling back

The Chain, the Death

2009-08-30T23:16:00.002-04:00

Walking sidewalks and you'll see their shadows
As they sink into the cracks and crevices
You can't stop your eyes from travelling
You'll feed them the harvest of skin

And between every second, you'll hear and see me
As I'm in the whispers you'll tell them
I dwell in the bottom of the oceans of false testimony
You'll love me once you speak of me

And when you speak of treasure, your eyes will grow hopeful
Then crash at the sound of disagreement, "no"
So what feat you will go to hold the gold in your rough hands
Just break the windows, thieve for it, and run away

For every list of vices I speak of eloquently
You will be closer to me than you think
Heaven and hell will be called against you
And I swear hell is where your beloved intoxication begins

The Morning Room

2009-08-29T00:56:00.003-04:00

Step close, step closer, to the fire of disbelief
Let me whisper in your ear the sights of my eyes
Search less, search lesser, and become what you find
You haven't won anything at all

Turn in, turn inner, turn in on your body
Creep in on the vices of pills and riches and gold
Die slow, die slower, this will be the death of us all
You're making your own tomb stone

Rest easy, rest easier, rest easy the head of your faith
You can't serve two masters, and not one will save you
Sign quick, sign quicker, the contract of your honesty
It's Him or me or the soil you burn

Shine bright, shine brighter, the son of heaven will look upon you
And maybe you'll float with soft wings to a place you know as bliss
Fall black, fall blacker, and meet me face to face
I'll be all you see, they call me the son of the morning

I am the bearer of light, the contradiction you'll love me for

For I am Lucifer

Numbers on the Wall

2009-08-26T00:10:00.002-04:00

Why is it when something familiar displays itself
On a wall I least expected to see things
Our thoughts clash back at each other
Only for me to come to the same conclusions

The past is the past, but it never bombarded me like this
Like the hive's nest I disturbed, you chase me down
When you sit and watch and say things you mean
I'm wondering if you're going to try me out

We say we can be friends and nothing more so
But I've let my words come close too often, too much
Give your courage a try and speak to me like you did
All those months ago, when we sang stories like hymns

"Trust me" means nothing like "just stay where we are"
I've asked your favour to speak to me on your own
I'm of the worthless effort you throw to the street
Sympathy is confusion now when you say what you want

Just tell me what you wanted from me
Just say that you don't like my company
Just tell me the tale I wanted to hear
Or make the move I've waited the century for

Home Was Not Home

2009-08-23T23:20:00.002-04:00

I woke up in a bed all too familiar to me
Woke to a world all the same as before I left
Just seemed to me I'd be reminiscent of the stillness of the voices
With memories spilling out the back of my head
All for me so I could pick up again

But I got a rude awakening, dismay and tragedy
Bombarded me in my unawareness
As I sat to watch the memories burn in the fires
Of boredom and purposelessness, what now shall I say
What can I do next, what can I scratch off my calendars of lists

Wake from the ending world of pretty and beautiful
The trees surrounding the lakes, the music filling the night scene
Reality kicks me in my hands to know there's nothing left
I'm given new hands, what do I do with them now
Saddening as it is for me, it affects the all of us

I want to sleep again, dream of the pretty that we don't live
But we ever so need to know the kindness of the world
There's still blood in my bones, but the mind is thawing
Each fray is collapsing between my knees and I can't walk no more
Distance is short, can You pick me up and fly me there home

New Islands

2009-08-15T23:17:00.002-04:00

Off into the faces not seen before
But still beautiful in its pictures
Lovable for sand and scenery and ocean
All of this creation I will soon embrace

I will see you for who you are
Behind every beach and reflection is unknown
Masks be taken off after I touch your grounds
Don't let the dirt tell me lies I've never heard

Yawn all I can, this will be longest drive in evers
As night drives along with the ever gloomy moon
And the sun pours out over the land and sea
Time will pass in this small motion of ours

My eyes are tired, but will rest on your sights soon
My body is aching, but will find peace in your home
We're not the same, not yet in love
But I think you have something that I don't know yet

So as hour passes each hour, as time will overlaps itself
Then I will cease to exist in materialism
Modernists meet the worst nightmare but only cure
This will maybe be the place I wake up

2-30

2009-08-13T07:16:00.004-04:00

Me, them, the awaiting sun in it's supposed glory
Being tired doesn't exist in our bones anymore
When it comes to going by the bucket lists
Then we just want to live a little more in the night

I'm not even home, I'm not even alone
Just sitting in front of a dream, shining and wide
Friends seem to never get enough of themselves
This is joy we've found deep in the soils

And now, before the moon was creeping above us
Before we found better views of the brighter things
Realizing that we are empty inside, missing sources
Shaped like bread with spreads inside the middle

So as I leave you to take my rest for short times
I can promise that we can rest our heads as lovely as we are
Laugh the neighbours awake next time
And we'll make joyful the moonlight ever again

Nothing to Say

2009-08-11T22:49:00.003-04:00

Sitting in a rotating mystery
In a place I come to play loud music in
This doesn't happen as often as you wish
But it goes to show that I should've just went home

The aftermath of losing your voice
And strumming along to the epic chord
Is love, relationship, and things I'm not too fond
But they'll have their fun and I'll have my time

Laugh at my awkwardness, as I am the same
Staring alone at a blank screen with no words in mind
All of my friends are behind their own monitors
So I think I'll just wait for the stars to shower

But I wish they would fall on me, to burst forth
Outside of the shell life entails to me
But don't let me go off into a tale alone
Just because I see it, I don't to be it yet

Soon Trust Me

2009-08-10T21:24:00.005-04:00

Don't you feel complete when things are in reverse?
Your feelings can be broken, your heart can be hurt
Well the light won't shine unless you turn it off first
So you ask if I could help you do things in reverse

Time won't stand still, but it will go back
Follow the sinking clock in its mindless acts
Loss of own purpose, loss of your own tracks
But further down the road is coming to my lack

Let me have time, frolic through plains
For dwelling in your hole is a cue for insane
Caring for you leads to my own pains
But word for trouble is prayer for dismay

Loop hole for loop hole, endeavour for endeavour
Rest assured that your Earth's ties are severed
But with threads held high, you can't ever say never
For trust in high hopes is life forever

Urgency

2009-08-09T20:11:00.002-04:00

It's so easy to say you're okay
But we all know the mirror tells lies
Not with clouded eyes shall you see desperation
But temptation will fight you to question if you'll lose

And for every split second we've sought after you
You disappear, bipolar to every end of the Earth
Correct me if I'm wrong, but we are not worried
I'm only wearing a megaphone on my chest

Majestic in no way but yearning for change
Like a disdained candle, chasing out darkness
As we see it leave the holes in our doors
Slowly but surely, this veil will be pulled off

Middle of the night, axis of the revolving chaos
It's both of us stuck, moving the wheels around
But when our hands become heavy, from there, you see
That our hands need to be lifted only higher

Succession

2009-08-08T23:54:00.002-04:00

Can you say you miss the sun
For more than simple five seconds
Because if seconds is all we want, then I've got it all
Second chances, second attempts

Forgiveness is a commitment we live and give
From where it drops to the ground
It is born from a spirit we called "I Am"
From a man who views time as a three dimensional object

Maybe we can live like a potential victims
Decay can touch us like we touch the rain
Live the succession of moments inside
This seemingly perpetual movement called life

But since when we're we masters of our pavements?
Let alone we can't take control of our bodies
There is a flaw in your system, society
Trust me this time, and then trust me after

Veil of Fear

2009-08-08T00:13:00.002-04:00

Will control take the nothing of me
If I give it everything back
Will blood make me blinded
If I know nothing but the red veil

Maybe the calling is a wind in my ear
Maybe the outreach of that hand is just a stranger
But I've been told that denial is disobedience
So where am I to run now

Just so I know, for my own distaste of good
How is it I show up on your doorstep
Without slipping on black ice, to claim my fault
When I've never made the water solid before

Because we all have seen betrayal in its immediate form
When fear takes the physicality of the honoured ones
What are we supposed to jump into with our bounds of faith
These building are too high, my worry too big

And I hear voices, "dig deeper into your veins"
From words I read and hear and know
Sincerity takes full form in repetition and consistency
Just hold on to me and I'll hold onto the wheel

Untitled Potential Song

2009-08-06T23:50:00.002-04:00

Oh, isn't it crazy
That I'm looking for love
Oh, isn't it maybe's
That we're hoping is enough

Something is aching
There's a hole in my heart
Too large for the making
Maybe the soul is my start

All I find on the ground is dust
All I try to satisfy is out of luck
Could you mend this heart back to one
Well maybe it's true

Is He all that I'm searching
All that I'm saying
All that I'm leaving your burden upon
Is He all that I'm marching for
All that I'm striving for
Maybe it's enough to say He's all that I'll love

Oh, isn't it funny
That the further I'm running away
Is just a metaphor for
Trying to control that I'm needy

Dust to You

2009-08-05T23:28:00.001-04:00

Time ran out and flashed a warning
All my motivation is wearing thin
All we were was dusted gold
Sparkling not, but worth every second

Throw your diamonds to the sands
And sacrifice your conversations
All we are is sparse, moving to broad roads
You want to go your way, I can't follow

Sacrificial love tells me to put myself under your head
But it never meant to let friendships turn to shipwrecks
To never let go of what totality we had
But look at what we've done now

With scissors and glue and paper on the ground
Letters to the hearts in our beating bodies
Lay down, misfitted and misplaced
All the letters we have are just question marks now

Surely, Unsure

2009-08-03T23:37:00.004-04:00

Spend hours with someone you want to know
In a desolate place because the land has hope
For nothing more than bubbles, tea and cigarettes
But the land is least of my mind's things

Because hours spent on this are hours spent on smiles
Laughter and honesty springs forth from eyes to ears
Oh what a mess we are, but what a knot we've tied
But now, all knots are confusing to comprehend

Uncertainly but at a steady pace my mind is following
Your trail of something new that we all want
But it seems the trail will never end
Because as a I know it, it's leading elsewhere

We all look for answers upon stones and thorns
Of how we can confuse ourselves with nothing less
Than love and it's boggling followers
So now the questioning answer is where am I now

The Moon Prevails

2009-08-01T22:27:00.004-04:00

God bless this little soul
With a home, a life, a day with no full
Ferment my suns, I'll have something to hold
Or maybe I'll show them my flaw to let go

Who said that young ones would be kids
That they would lose, live life as they hid
Inside their media lives and all within
It just so happens that I just did

Forgive me for judgment and all the pre's
For thinking that there is nothing to see
I've never known you, how could I believe
That your eyes were too small to see the big dream

I'm searching for contentment for being alone
Expression is numbered when there's no one home
If lying is the moment that you were torn
Then between the seams, I ask for the morn

Your

2009-07-30T23:56:00.002-04:00

Under every abundant sky
Be it rain or glory shine
Between the faded and damp lines
Your Name will be lifted high

Placed in me is a heart of glass
See it through, look it past
When You are first and I am last
To Your love, I'll hold fast

When the Earth moves still below
The gaze of your marvelous glow
Our chests beat fast with layers to go
But Your mercy, my life unfolds

Can we create the eyes in our hands
To see past the skin of our lands
When you waited, away we glanced
So now Your story will be my dance

Motion Has Ended

2009-07-29T22:38:00.002-04:00

Let's come to the conclusion of crime
When I thought I had a heart in control
Who was I days ago, when now I lied?
I hope you will forgive me for my folly

I told you the truth, conjured from a lying hope
And when I told you that feelings remain
Then I've told you my selfish desire
From one gradual to the other

Drive down the road of no receive
When I've given enough and have gained uncertainty
Why couldn't you tell me your story
Of how my words have wasted your time

If I was a time in your life, then let's be fair
Maybe I wish you were more so
Fight life with life, progress and positive
What more can I do than to speak words

I've Sworn a Reminder

2009-07-27T22:38:00.003-04:00

Maybe the eyes that see the scattered things
That puzzle themselves together in the awkward ways
When attachments to big and too small fit
Complete incompletion is translucent perfection

Just who do I think I am, telling you the truth
Of what matters most about emotion and it's cake
I wish I was more than a mere "next in line"
I question with all of myself if I truly am

With what I know and what I've found
In science and sleep and fear and faith
To tuck away my emotions to collect dust
Is an impossible that I can't accomplish

And I will expect nothing, not a yes or no
For I have offered nothing, not a ship to set sail on
Just to let you know that my shirt is still new
And maybe the story will continue

Is...

2009-07-26T22:59:00.002-04:00

Days and days enter, does love persist?
Through dust and endeavour, impossible is thin
When nothing will compare, the devil is a mist
Water in the air, but you can still see a reflection

And days and days will leave, God, love my soul
When I shall give as to receive, give into my bones
Make comfort a tree, give it a good role
Tie and swing free, no more sticks and stones

And when the day wallows, I will be here
For this glory hollow, laid down at Your feet
Upon nameless forlorn, I shall hold no fear
For it prickles with thorns, but shall not influence defeat

For this day is perfectly made, on victory and joy alone
Fire inhales when we obeyed, no sorrow nor frown
Numbers won't deal by clover or spade, for You are Your own
Shine and confused as jade, but nothing can take us down

Sleep Till You're Sound

2009-07-25T23:25:00.002-04:00

All my mind is drowning away
Unknown and unsure since sun peaked in
Tired and heavy-eyed till night became gross
I can feel the bags pulling my body down like anchors

No inspiration, boredom till you drop faceless
Leave a mark on the eyes that's proof enough
Rest is a man's real friend for comfort
Surrender to the tide of cotton and silk

Because for once in my life I'm oppressed by day
Suppressed by the time I thought I had
Watch the clocks click away as I wish I had more of it
Tick, tock, listen! All who are weary

For with purpose we live and strive for more
And without we're just walking tombstones
Giant fishes swimming from pageant to pageant
Beauty to beauty, soon we'll be dust to dust

Stained-Glass Heart

2009-07-25T00:49:00.003-04:00

Stories and fairy-tales with pop up boards
It seems like all my friends are in love
Desperate in aspects unknown
Maybe they're just looking for someone to know

Songs on the radio, actors on the screen
Love is just a noise for the word we see
The action is obscure, tinted and faint
Choices are yours and we do not sense make

Lipstick to lip, and embrace to body warmth
Purity lost for enjoyment of nothings
Murals of what we thought hearts were made for
Haha, where are we all now

Love is obscured by the definitions of man
Fashion and skin is provocation now
Hearted love letters are books of heresy
From false they came, to false they'll become

Become the forgotten, forget the begotten
It seems all to familiar to me now
Love came down when that tree was pierced
But still, love is obscured

Love Don't Come and Go

2009-07-23T22:21:00.002-04:00

Just how far of a dream would we go
To chase society as to chase the tail
To end the belief of the success definition
That we just need someone by our side

Love is not a word to speak as emotion
When choices we make create the palpitations
To allow them to exist in our cages
Beyond failure is true love

Commitment exists after the covenant
To look upon hope with unclouded eyes
Is rarity beyond the appearance of devotion
Just how far will we go from here

When the pen is dead, the page still remains
Let blood pumped from the ongoing message
Trickle at the tip of the swords that slay
All we know of truth and true love

As You Make Real

2009-07-21T23:33:00.003-04:00

Morning greets your warm body with a loud ring
Unaware, unaware, unsure of where to go
It's time and again hesitance becomes your blanket
Over your head and over your heels

How could you think the sun is not coming out
When all you cover your eyes with is a veil of lies
In the window, behind every movable mountain is shining
Under every rooted tree is the seed of faith

Unsheathe your eyes just for a moment, a bit
Move the sheets to see that a leap of faith is only so simple
Yet so hard, like rocks rolling in a labyrinth
Just look out of your comfort and you'll see

It's not you to blame for all the mistakes they made
It's never you to think that you're the one at fault
Know that you are still caught up in the strings of divinity
Wake from your disbelief, periods tell no tale of change.......

The Same Letters Don't Explain Enough

2009-07-20T23:19:00.002-04:00

Songs of Simplicity Sing of Sincerity
Like Leaves Lingering for Luxury
Sinking Sleeplessly in the Sea of Serenity
Limpers, Leap for Love and Life

for Grand and Gorgeous is the God of Grace
Mighty and Marvelous like Maverick Mountains
Gestures like Guesses of Gold and Glory
Make My Movements More than Motion

Pretty and Praiseworthy, Precious and Pristine
Writer of my Restoration and Wreckage and Reason
Protector of my Progression and Procession
Write unto me a Romance of Redemption from Wrong

even Alliteration won't Assist in Amending Your Assurance
For it's Forever and Fervent, Fresh and Faithful
You've Aided me in All of my Aches and Alleviation
so For life, I will Feast on Your Freedom

Deprived

2009-07-19T23:26:00.002-04:00

When your eyelids are feeling heavy
Like boulders on your shoes
To lift your spirits and your eyes high
Becomes no easier than than breathing

It tells you a truth, when in control
That you no longer want to be in control
That rather you'd rest your head on comfort
Alone with darkness and silence as bedfellows

Just leave me alone, daylight and priority
Let me be underneath the sheets and warmth
Or speak to myself for once
Close your eyes before the night turns tomorrow

You're in Good Hands Now

2009-07-18T23:57:00.002-04:00

Eyes be opened wide
Hands be reaching high
You're in good Hands now

Shout unto God with a voice of praise
Let go and release all of the dismays
You're in good Hands now

Hearts be broken down
Hearts moved to another town
You're in good Hands now

Soul set on the real worth
Plans set for your time on Earth
You're in good Hands now

Believe in Him, paths are straight
Trust in Him, a new clean slate
You're in good Hands now

Deny who you've always been
This is your place to begin again
You're in good Hands now

You're in good Hands now

2009-07-18T00:10:00.003-04:00

They say water is fulfillment to the soul
When taken to heart's content
But look at what you've done to your cup
Fragile and cracked and water seeping through

Voices and lies become chains that bind your heart
And overflow, bringing vices in, and vices out
You're becoming first class entertainment
To the ones you never should believe

Confusion and chaos from the best view
Behind the keys that have unlocked you this far
Why now should I stop and listen to your false cries?
You need more than you know

Decision is yours to make, to stay or leave the Earth
To run away or stay the sacred course of plan
Don't you know that hope is leaping with faith
And faith is knowing in the unseen

There is hope for you yet, dear child of mystery
You are worth everything, fair and love and more
Don't drop the frown to the dead soil below
You have a sky to fly into now

Impulse

2009-07-17T01:36:00.002-04:00

This is the end of a pleasant vice
As if seemingly large butterflies with loud echoes
Screamed down an empty hallway of everything
But removes only the dust, creation: clarity

What more do we expect when we want to forget
As if the secularist solution ever saved souls
Last resort leaves us hanging on a shadow of a doubt
That nothing can save us now

What lies and voices that overflow from our heart's content
That we believe in such inspiration of thieves
Who steal nothing but what's against the disciplinary wall
Your minds are sand, and I prefer pavement

Love less and love more, idols and hope
There's more to it than just soft, sweet temporariness
Hard walks are hard to walk on, but the path runs to cotton
Blemish and mistake are of the past when the moment shows

The Earth as We Know It

2009-07-14T22:56:00.003-04:00

Just hold the world as you fragilely know it
When time signatures change and veins beat off
When right is survival and wrong is within bones
The Earth as we know it is coming to a close

How can we say that we have no helping at all
That when everything is melting off our hands
We can simply justify with the lack of help
The Earth as we know it has reasoned to excuse

But time will show up and reveal the liars we are
Where existentialism is alive without romances
Plight is control just to shove up the sky
Whose fault is to blame now

Maybe sin and vice and verse love the way we restrict
Where we're not humble enough to trust another's broken hand
When the hand is reaching for yours, seventy seven miles from nowhere
We can only suggest you take hold of it soon

Throwing Your Title

2009-07-13T22:17:00.002-04:00

All we need is knowing how to hit spot on
And how to run place to place
You say you have your plans to do else things
But nothing for those who can't see them

You build your firing ego high above the clouds
Where your head lies and your heart is lost
When I ask for a chance to improve
You just throw your title at me

You wreak of arrogance, and resemble pride
The mirror and scent tells no false testimony
My eyes see what the glass does, but to you
I'm just a child trying to argue with a man

There lies nothing left to argue now
You stay what you wish, and forever remain
The lost of who you are, who you once upon a time
Used to be so very well

Laodicea

2009-07-13T00:22:00.002-04:00

In the morning when I'm barely awake
I can barely see, I can barely sing
I realize that it's all I can take
You truly are all or nothing

If I watch you with the motion of doing more
Then I have lost that I'm everything true
For success isn't based on what we've made chores
But that I'm madly in love with You

You deserve the everything You made me to be
And I've given You near nothing to justify
In the mirror, I question myself and see
What can I do to You Name on most high?

Please don't look the other way
Don't turn Your back to us
Show me how to leave my dismay
And walk right behind Your dust

A Praise

2009-07-12T00:20:00.002-04:00

Praise be to You when the mourning sun shines
When the world meets quake and the plight divine
Still I am the branch, and You are my vine
My life is sinking in your sea of sweetest wine

Praise be to You when the sun is midway
Let my praise last from midnight to midday
Let Your cross be my eternal survey
As I dance upon this land of dismay

Praise be to You with the dead-beat moon
My head shall have rest in the hour soon
Pillow and cotton as You softly croon
And create the disappearance of my wound

Praise be to You, always till forever
Through every breath and chaos endeavour
Let us sing a new song in time and together
On the day we sing Your name till the end of ever

You Are...

2009-07-10T23:35:00.001-04:00

Woke up in the morning and realized that you were old
This is your day to tell me how your story is told
A warm-hearted tale that will never get cold
Of how you came to be, and how I eventually will unfold

Born on a today, average in different time and town
I don't know what happened from then till now
So I will cut this pointless stanza short

How lovely it was to watch you hold tight
To life, to me, to God and and what's right
A hero in every way from selfless to insight
Picked me up and raised me to great heights

So will you sing a song with me forever
Of how you loved me through all my bad weather
Of all the ties that I could sever
You're impossible, you're my altogether

(For my mother. Happy birthday.)

The Test

2009-07-09T23:13:00.003-04:00

You of little assurance believe you are in love
But it's so simple to become emotional
Real love turns worlds the opposite way
Even when we're pulling it apart

Shall we dance on the floor of jealousy and heresy
Your feet are sore, but you'll dance regardless
You're treading on dangerous ground below you
Not of the floor but of your uncertain assurance

Must we believe in others, to think they end all
Dainty love is mystical, unthinkable, yeah we've found it
Only because it found us before the world knew our faces
And so I call the word against you

Love is not a feeling nor chemicals in your mind
A choice or commitment until you leave your breath behind
That no matter how much she may spit on your dreams
True love persists, and this is the test

Remedy is Conquering

2009-07-08T23:24:00.006-04:00

Light once awakened you from your deathly slumber
And for once you changed from dust to glitter
Sparkling your life like water to the sun
And I swore you were something new

Until calamity struck the lightning to the tree
And you fell apart and split at the seams
Love was lost and you never saw it coming
Now all the love I say is nothing at all

Until you're a conqueror nothing will change
Until you reach your hand you will never be picked up
Off of your feet and into arms loving embrace
Off of your fear and far from it all

I won't say I told you so because you told yourself
That this home going was temptation in a shell
Explosion of a colder hell in hand's reach
Still, all you are is beautiful and more

Block

2009-07-07T23:35:00.004-04:00

Where is there to go when you've nothing to say
Tradition followed leaves minds wordless
Eventually blank and terrorized by this disease
But it won't stop me, so I'll write about it

Exhaustion laughable since youth is surrounded
With colours and pictures and the like bursting
Stimulation is as easy to find as is your own hands
This is how kreation is komplete

Focus is sole when body and mind are whole
So show me how easy it is, when it really is
You make this a respiratory plight
This is nothing out of shape and time

Verdana and Trebuchet are everything to use
Eleven to twelve is as loving as you make
When the world of poetry is in your dry, once runny hands
What is there not to sing your letters of

Departure Long

2009-07-07T00:13:00.002-04:00

As the morning comes of departure long
Seemingly sooner than you expect
Cause and mission and heart loop together
Well we're moving as fast as your heart beat

Leave soon, live harder from ever before
Depravity and nothing is everything to have
Creates the hole that is again filled by home
But you understand how great the hole is

Leave later, see the crack of dawn from a polluted view
Wake every morning with collar and tie together
Notice how she and he are different from before
You're in a different home, come and visit soon

Don't let us die since time breaks again
We walked a path, and found epiphanies on the floor
Each folded sheet unfolding to suns breaking through clouds
Can you smell the scent of future and creativity unity

Maybe Again

2009-07-05T22:45:00.003-04:00

Your words speak of undeniable truth
But I don't know how to take them to heart
And then bleed that heart out
Maybe impracticality shocks me again

Find the way through the field
Planted so well with our footprints
Some in wrong places, and you call me names
Maybe lack of reason throws me again

Confused and controlled, held back but held on
Freedom defined by two different mindsets
To be lost in ourselves or in our calling
Maybe society has confused us all again

Something about the music that makes us all sing
With no obligation to let loose our vocal words
No forced movement on anything we have
Maybe reason has wronged me again

Hear Fast From God

2009-07-04T22:58:00.002-04:00

I hope you're listening when I tell you so
That pleasure and sin are good bedfellows
We lose and miss the mark when we follow
So let these words sink into your skin low

"My hands are stretching, so come home
I've been waiting for you for far too long
It will never matter how you broke your bones
Just leave your old and sing a new song

"It's fragile, when you say you're alone
It's only when you stand against that you are alone
Hell is the place to simply be alone
But fire and charcoal is no way to be alone

"Hold fast to the break of dawn
Listen carefully to every new psalm
Just hold on tight to the silver yarn
And promisingly, I'll walk you through your scars"

Long Live Nothing

2009-07-03T23:31:00.003-04:00

Quiet and listen for the honest sounds
Noise and test to bring to us the common ground
But you can't hear it, the truth is drowned
In your own voices and the others around

When will we see the hard work we've done here
Because all we scream is louder than thunder
Lies and voices break in pieces asunder
My voice is a town that you all have plundered

Maybe it's me, not enough summers to see
That clearly it's nothing when it's just me
Nothing worth trying, nor worth the leap
But the cracks are larger than you believe

But what more can we do than to continue
There's more that we have to bring it to you
Should we lose out, then the calling is too few
It's noise and noise that stirs the nest through

Chisel

2009-07-02T22:28:00.003-04:00

Hello world, I'm wide awake now
As wishing and as lonely as I need to be
Breathe the sigh, the sigh of how
I need to be more than what the mirror sees

I'm told that I'm a piece of work
More so than the many Picassos and Van Goghs
More so than the plants of the fields of birds
It's not what I see, it's where I should go

I'm younger and crying for a piece of peace
But prepare Yourself for what should you find
I know the greatest of me and the least of these
But it hurts You more to make my heart contrite

Then tell it to me here, straight to straighten my back
For me to know that You love me is more than choice wine
You red and pink and white will flash over this black
And soon I'll become lovely, because Your love is mine

Nation's Birthday

2009-07-01T23:04:00.008-04:00

Hours and hours we waited, to feast
To fill ourselves too fast to satisfy
Oh the laughs, the applause of appreciation
Leaves us tired andfading quietly

But every moment in this cramped up line
Sweaty heads against soft shoulders
This is just a sign that we're all getting closer
Distance pulled us in the middle

And then we sang, oh we sang our hearts out
Sang until our vocal chords almost ripped themselves
It's funny, how these people could sing shameless
Honesty come again, the noise leaving our door was unpleasant

And we can go home to different faces and tell our stories
Stories of seemingly incompletely complete days
Total and utter joy found from the sore eyes we set
This is where we come from, oh joyous nation

Where Are You Now

2009-06-30T22:44:00.002-04:00

Songs I unexpect
Are songs I sing the most
Not for chords or E Major
But the words we speak are in sync

It seems as if the distance
Is what is keeping us close
It looks as if the bumps
Are what make us hold on

I'm aware of how things
Aren't really like how it was
But who's to say we should stop
Hey there, I think we can try

Yellow flashes and smiles burst
Even when you're never in sight
Ear to ear and eyes to sky
Looks like I can wish tonight

Picture This

2009-06-30T00:01:00.002-04:00

Can you picture being the queen of your throne
But poorer than those with dirt in their hands?
Imagine, your land as wide as the eye can see
But only as small as the eye itself

Shot down by your hands shaped like a guns
It wasn't the bullet, it was the action
Torn down by sticks like swords and spears
It wasn't the blade, it was the promise

Disappointment as tears to the eyes
Warm as the pages of the book tell me
Everything to yourself you exclaim
More than nothing to higher eyes, the truth shall speak

Down to the last straw, you must stop
Down to the bare bones, you must think
Down to the bottom of stone hearts, you must retrace
Or down to nothing, you will be reduced

Profile of Us

2009-06-28T23:44:00.004-04:00

These people are the people to die to
The kind of people that follow through
With believes half-hazard and blue
Grey and white, with nothing new

These people are warms kinds of you
Salt with no meaning, fit for the fool
Lifestyle change, no point for these rules
Every answer you pencil in mind is true

These people are nothing, so many amongst so few
A crowd under a single, small roof
It's no longer a question of just what's and who's
It's the matter of your hands, what will they do

These people are told that they are roots
To the true image of nothing, just "phew's"
When day comes for eternal review
Out like stale coffee, they will be spewed

These people are those you see in image true
The ones looking straight back at you
When you comb your hair, lips of different hues
These are people that we are too

Reconstruction

2009-06-27T23:42:00.003-04:00

How excited we are to build from the start
The very thing that took us apart
The very vice that crossed out our hearts
But I'll bend backwards enough to get the restart

How excited I am to build it all again
To say that we're not as far, but we're still friends
Is enough for now, as the heart is content
Maybe time will tell as I fail to pretend

How excited I am to build it all back
To shake my head at the thread of lack
Words and conversations, with none is a heart attack
You are still alive in a head hopeful and on track

How excited I am to build it all through
It will be a while till soon becomes soon
Till then I'll draw words of all the healing wounds
And I'll send my way home, just to laugh with you

Though words that rhyme are nothing to say
Of how my stomach flies with all the butterflies inside
I'll go on a journey, a pursuit for you
Whenever you are ready, you will know that I'm here

Look at myself, how reckless I can be
And perhaps that's the reason our words hit the wall
A wall we can't see nor hear but know
I can be here still, and whistle along all your favourite songs

Love in all ways is patient, so I'll fly true
Wings of a word so righteous from blue and white
Yes, I will wait for you just as you wait for yourself
I'll just be smiling gloriously till clocks tick time is now

How excited I am to build it all again

If. Only.
