It's difficult, purposturous even, for some to conceive Of a life that is fought for A sense of security earned With every waking hour you've been cursed They baffle at the mute colors with which you paint And half heartedly smile, As they pass, with their fluorescent teeth Yours ***** and yellow From the brown water that has become your gasoline From the cigarettes that are now your oxygen tank The good air is all bought up The good food is all turned to **** **** for you to envy As you scrub They will loan you a dream Knowing it is an unclimbable mountain Because they are waiting at the top With the soul of a shoe You eat stew out of habit Always chasing the wild rabbit

Entitlement
What system giveth me? Maybe a novel, on a screen In a play, in a dream What entity indebted me? Maybe I'm code, on a screen In a game, of some being What consciousness cares for me? Maybe I'm all, not a screen There's no gain, there's Nothing

Dream Theory
Why must passion be frustratingly entangled in melancholy The words remembered are acidic; a teary brine Nights of foraging your soul alone hang in the hallways When the only drunk that's worth a **** is nostalgia And the only ink in the universe is trapped by old letters You drown any fire mercilessly, unflinchingly Because at least the colds consistent And at least you've learned to cope Breakdowns are receding with miles of open road Nights of infinite stars drape a world's worries

Nights of Passion
I want to fall in love so hard I can't get up I hope for romance so breathless, my heart becomes a base drum Loudly intensifying, calling to me, confused Laying there, contently aware, the past is pessimistic Introduce silent futures to the boisterous blues Do you long to see the sweater stitched Are questions your only communication I can't dance, but would love to sit and talk About the hem of your pants, or how earnestly you walk And read to you the stories being written each day

Love Lives in the Fall
On the Eve of awakening In a universe under my nose Somewhere near adams apple Two lives bound by time Dreaming, and doing, dancing they went Concocted crown sat on my head Eyes met, "let there be light" was said Illuminating exalted will divine

A Universe Under My Nose
There's a whole lot to be said of 4 a.m. and the men it's tortured. Same goes for clocks two and all those dead amongst the barns red, Recently painted, in fact still wet, Violently the say was the spray of artistic revolution, But the shoe never fit this little slit we  narcissistically created. So we Jew them out of heaven subjectively created. Jaded fire stares at... skin like a white wall Too begin - The fall Stated hatred is hypocrisies living breath. Inflated by dated school of thought uneducated, wrought with.. Complicated. Or Basic.      We're......

We're
Why did I stop, Writing that is, Games of hide and seek Coyest the dream Getting past by Society in cab To there next check On the sixth list Ever increasing, wants, With if's I forgot what the sky looked like Or a tree yet pressed thin Building the tunnel Which will one day collapse Maybe if I just, Cut myself up, Into the tiniest of pieces There would be some left for me Lord knows I've given in Selling myself, To the the devils lawyer, But it's impossible to breath No divergent existence Prayers for content; As I settle

I Forgot What The Sky Looked Like
Please kiss me, I said Craving her want, elusive desire Just once please, regretful nots Loan of certainty, interest included My credit is flawless, trust needed Your searching for reasons, to turn To second guesses you're in-debted Musing the records spent Twice to never fool But oranges, apples, a mess of nuts Sifting the pages, money lost Stolen, more to say On this cool night, Sad moon Half empty, pessimism learned, From spilled milks past I understood Inky cloud, view clotted For a moment we sat there The most beautiful of voids Reflections bowed, Memories, Collapsed, kiss was given In the absence, ambiguous

Who kissed who
I find imagination in the craziest places Spirals stare through my dreams Paintings knock me fluid Soaking into existence What a mixture, reality and me Ideas dance like tree branches Songs pierce the absence Creations voice runs through A composition by mighty pen Infinities inkwell to dip Poem of novel, set in itself Beautiful confusion

Are we imagination
Where, and why, and how, and what Trust cuffed to absence; on the cot I cried In my cave, too cold to care Lost among a million point's in time Horrific precision in their detachment Some splendid smile he imagined
