I'm a faithful cheater with the ability to lie honestly. I'm a pacifist with anger management issues. I only ever hurt the ones I love. I cry when I'm happy, and I laugh when I'm sad. I can be an ugly lover, with compassion when I'm mad. I hold nothing sacred, I wear my heart on my sleeve. I consider my self agnostic, with a passion to believe. I have the mind of a demon, and the soul of a saint. I'm a shy exhibitionist, that can easily frustrate. I take pleasure in my misery, there's a sadness in my glee. And all these contradictions, are but a fraction that is me.

Contradictory Fractions
Soft hands all covered in scars reveal a past of lost rewards of lost childhood broken dreams once unspoken alive on the street and a mind filled with notions look at emotional tones in the lonely old souls that find many alone with the thoughts of the ******

When the sun rises at the dawn, hands will rise in a vain attempt to suppress a yawn. Most will be up and about their day, I will be wrapped in sleep dreaming of a rainy May. For all those grave yard shift workers know, that daylight betrays, in darkness we grow.

Night shifting
I want ideas that blow the cobwebs from my mind I want the days to end up in crazy smiles I want to think out loud and capture heavens eyes I want it wild I want it wild I want it wild

I Want it Wild
There are shadows of my former self left scattered among the paths I've walked. There are tears painting pictures torn from all I've loved. There are words spoken that have awoken sleeping lies I've cried. There are dreams forgotten by lonely rhymes until the time is right.

There are poems
Dead poets drip off my tongue Long gone painters delight and inspire Deceased musicians make me dance Murdered revolutionaries give me a chance

Life after death
Its not easy being wrong so often. The emotions involved are messy. Much more care is needed. I mean well. I really do.

Wrong Again
Off to buy some ******* So I can get high with my friends in the rain. Are we running away from life's pain? Or towards understanding again? For some the truth can constrain For others set free from their bane Its insane This drug makes my mind like a train Derailed and kept unconstrained Sublimely tempting and vain Amen .

Fine lines
That news of possible impending death requires a seat that gives no comfort, I pace upon hearing of the wounds needed to heal, I reach for the platitudes I fail..."fuck"

True Story
The whisper of an echo spoken drums beneath my body broken All above seen without dreams held in thoughts burst forth it seems
