It has been a long, tumultuous voyage.. into complacent.. stagnant.. normalcy.
I've swum the tides of fortune, pleasure, knowledge.. and as they fall I can feel the dry sand, chafing my sanity.
I've seen wonders of the world, built to inspire - inevitably in vain. Opportunity and privilege have no purpose in a frozen museum of a life.
They snuck onto me covertly.. unnoticed. A lame onesie.. slightly too tight around the neck... obnoxiously, unnaturally colored for no reason.
I've cast off all semblance of any character I once had
and I lay here now in bed
In my plebian pajamas and with my flaccid life.

There's a circus on my back,
and a monkey leading the show.
I could try to get my life on track,
but I'd really like to go.

Put hands on mouse and keyboard
to turn on this fog machine.
Filled my mind with cloudy vapor
and now I cannot see.

Wet. sand. pours. from. my. heart.
. . . .
into. a. castle. of. doomed. ambitions.
. . .
Too-quicksand. counts. each. beat.,.
. .
'til. the. terminal. grain.
.
leaves the partial life
unfinished

the clocks are rising up in rebellion
and nothing can stop them
quick! we have to sleep before it's too late

The untended **** can only grow
'til the roots take to stone
and it soon becomes known
Should a tug be its fate,
then a hole must be filled
but the stone won't forget
even if the garden will.

The wilting rose
in its heart only grows.
Lest the final petal falls,
due return? who knows..

May
love find you, and
fear flee your name.
sadness steel you, and
courage bring you fame.
Let
love **** you, and
fear keep you sane.
sadness heal you, and
courage bring you pain.
Let be, all that may,
and suffer on another day.

she says i'm sweet
but that i'm too cheesey.
I tell her - sweet cheese is ice cream
and i'm glad you're so cold
else I'd be a puddle
