28/M A man of mystery and power who's power is exceeded by his mystery
Stuck in a place, where I really have no say. Trapped between close space, no way to escape. So far away, and no one to save Its so dark, I cant get away.. Even if I could, how would I explain Tell a story like it never happened Talking in third person because im so far away. Faded all day to forget my pain Double cup my cup to make it all go away Light one up to fly away and remain sain The higher i get, the more I forget Left with out no recollection of any of this Wake up to a scream, it was all a vivid dream. A dream to remember like they say "dreams do come true" how can I escape something so true...

Faded..
One look and we both know were stuck in a battle between each-other. Trying not to fall into each-others deep and endless void. But no matter what i do to distract myself from her piercing and radiant eyes, i loose the battle and i fall in weightlessly, Breathless and frozen. But for once in my life, i feel complete and utter peace, As if i belonged there.

Sharp eyes
They look at me like an alien. Like I don't belong, as if wanting to know more was a crime. But They're just kids. Blinded, cruel, unwilling, and closed minded. But one day, they will realize, they will open their eyes and want what i have to offer , but on that day it will be too late. Forgive them? I would. But My eyes have been trained to see past their mask's. Who they really are has already been revealed to me. And because of knowledge, i am no fool.

Knowledge
A lion on my left a tiger to my right they're sweet house cats in all actuality wouldn't harm a fly until the titles come and stereotypes must be perpetuated so they with their personalities stripped keep their vicious reputations alive **** for their names the title that begs them to "soldier."

the many body bags fill with each passing day conflicts on other soil hath put them there family and friends hear of deaths far away where the explosive devices don't care the troops sent to countries of other view their arrival greeted with hostility stepping on foreign tract means a slew nowhere is there a trace of affability our soldiers our sons our brothers our boys engaged in wars where they'll pay profound military planners implement their ploys the caskets keep returning to home ground soldiers wrapped in disposable bags with serial numbers on their dog-tags

Dog-Tags (Sonnet Poem)
don't feel sorry for me. I am a competent, satisfied human being. be sorry for the others who fidget complain who constantly rearrange their lives like furniture. juggling mates and attitudes their confusion is constant and it will touch whoever they deal with. beware of them: one of their key words is "love." and beware those who only take instructions from their God for they have failed completely to live their own lives. don't feel sorry for me because I am alone for even at the most terrible moments humor is my companion. I am a dog walking backwards I am a broken banjo I am a telephone wire strung up in Toledo, Ohio I am a man eating a meal this night in the month of September. put your sympathy aside. they say water held up Christ: to come through you better be nearly as lucky.

For The Foxes
little dark girl with kind eyes when it comes time to use the knife I won't flinch and i won't blame you, as I drive along the shore alone as the palms wave, the ugly heavy palms, as the living does not arrive as the dead do not leave, i won't blame you, instead i will remember the kisses our lips raw with love and how you gave me everything you had and how I offered you what was left of me, and I will remember your small room the feel of you the light in the window your records your books our morning coffee our noons our nights our bodies spilled together sleeping the tiny flowing currents immediate and forever your leg my leg your arm my arm your smile and the warmth of you who made me laugh again. little dark girl with kind eyes you have no knife. the knife is mine and i won't use it yet.

Raw With Love
Games, I always told you I were good at them, and you laughed and said you could play them better. Now it's cold and I need my sweater, your love is gone and my cheeks are wetter. But it's suppose to get better. I shouldn't feel so dead. The only emotion I've felt at this point, is when we laid in bed. Games, I guess you were right.. Because you're not the one up at night, Replaying thoughts and causing fights Playing games involving knives I'll mark my skin, yeah that's right I'll write your name, end my life Games.

I wonder why things always turn out to be lies, Makes me wonder, why am i alive? So I think what would it be like, To fly? Creating a close harmony with the sky. It's a question of time, To step out of line, and to strive to make her mine.
