Socratic Ignorance
Most smile, decieve, praise, lie, kiss all with their lips But love makes an oulet of eyes Speaking, sighing, whispering, singing, groaning moaning Not you, never you Since I've known them Your eyes saw love Winded in the spell of life around you Marrying this bride daily with the kiss of a rising sun I want to take first place you know? I want to flee from second where I belong How unjust to wish that your rarity your passion would be wasted on me I do want it I want it selfishly Never give me my desires For you For me Never let me over come the itch in the back of your soul that wakes you up That gives you wings That changes your world Do you understand? YOU'RE the main character in YOUR story Not me It's time, delayed it may be, but it is long time to write my own Stopping my wonder from book to book Having someone write me in a main roles I am not suited for I have a book With doodles and scribblings of a story that deserves to be written It wants completion It's time for completion God you know it's time

Please
I feel it coming I'm slipping again I float down stream I float away No desire To paddle or swim I float away I'll have to find My starting point Some day But now I float I float away Be my anchor For I float away I won't stop myself I'll just float away

Please stop me
I am the sun. My beauty does not falter when looking or when not. Love radiates. It forms about me, my lone existence is to shine. Releasing light to all that is close, all that is far, all that I see. Gold glimmer in glory I wake to rise each day without assistance. Evening will find I fall in flowing red with no resistance. Clouds do not, can not, will not hide for long, what is destined to be seen. My heat of passion no winter will depress. For I am the sun. I am warmth. I am persistence. I an strength.

I am the sun
Dreams are our place We are freeeeeeee of limiting factors Reach out to me, touch my face **** us time, or our own minds Hopes in a fairytale future Heaven or dreams, I will find you

Realms
Towns so small We claim they're ours Where the boys play ball Pretty girls are stars Mama teaches school Daddy puts 'em hind bars Kids get up when they fall Young rebels race their cars Dreams of escaping But this is an escape Don't dare think of leaving This is our place. In a watertower's shadow.

Water tower shadow
First you startled me. Cognitive embrace found me fast. Light I'd never seen before. I, you, we. I find myself alone Questions skate my mind Would you rather meet the one and lose Or have the meeting undone?

Not an option
He has an old face. Not old like aged but more timeless. Its like his smolder could've been a kings' or have belonged to a simple man in the great depression admiring his treasued wife. His lips seem as if they could've kissed the ladies of face. Bathsheba, Helen of Troy, Nefertiti. His jawline couldve persuaded the ages. This face! Oh and his smile, well it could have charmed it's way out of a death row sentence Or could it be that this smile wouldve been given to the helpless while on his greatest mission. Oh his marvelous face. Generations of lovers he's never known glares at me. Me, another collection of past lovers. Another face. My thousands stare at his thousands. His at mine. Thousands meet again.

The face of thousands
Might your words have weight to them so they would capture my soul's attention. Speak the thought bright or grim the dancing one on your tongue's tip. If it is hard to say then said it must for light fades and time does chase. In yourself find a feel for trust if you spoke it, it is your own.

Say it.
The ghost of every kiss is still here Dancing in the arch of my back Dropping sweetly in every tear Angels these spirits once were Demons they are in current form Ethier one should not be stirred To serve a twisted reminder.

Olivia really?
I guess its funny that I'm here chest beating deep breathing year after year after year It's purpose they tell you If you find yours then run so good for you good for you What about us? Where is my calling? Doomed to drift. To seek. What are we to do? If I never become 'anything' am I purposeless? Is my purpose to be purposeless? If that is purpose am I purposeless still? Therefore abandoning my purpose?
