leaking, pooling, dripping fast
be it tears or water in this carafe?
bottled up and wound so tight
looking for darkness when only there is light
all signs point to left but you veer right
this house is not your home tonight
ghosts, and spirits, visions of past
let go and leave them for once and for last

on still water
this pool of "passion"
it's clear to see below
no ripples here
ne'er there were
and they'll surely never flow
but calm and serene
may not make a dream
the choppy waves
are what she craves
o captain, my captain
sail on
this one is not your swan song

'tis with sorrow and regret
the sun within our ship did set
a mistaken word
a withered gaze
all but blurred us to a haze
for the memories that once were pure
are tainted now to be no more
when i reminisce
and imagine your face
all feelings left are of disgrace

i am a poison
trust and true
some may birth me
some will brew
whence past your lips i flow
your inhibitions are let go
you know me bad
you know my crimes
yet even so
you'll waste your time
savor every sip you take
for i am your downfall, i am your fate

OUR WORLD
Angels whisper, spirits scream,
When all nightmares turn to a dream.
People pray, children play,
What has our world come to today?
"Why did daddy not return?"
Children ask as mothers squirm.
"The bomb took him away," they must say,
"That is what our world has come to today."
Katrina ruined many lives,
Parents lost kids, husbands lost wives.
As New Orleans became hell on Earth,
Houses were swallowed under the surf.
Everything is not okay,
Look at what our world has come to today.
Gas prices keep climbing higher and higher,
People claim the governments a liar,
For making all the prices soar.
Therefore the people roar,
"Why should we have to pay?"
Because this is what our world has come to today.
Third world countries beg for food,
If only we all understood.
With out stomachs full and pockets empty,
We should share - for we have plenty.
Now listen to what they have to say,
"Why is this what our world has come to today?"

if my words were written down
and thrown into the wind
i wonder if you’d hear them
and learn of how i sinned
if my words were written down
and tossed into the waves
i wonder if you’d find them
in the sea, their shallow grave
if my words were written down
and left there on the floor
i wonder if you’d pick them up
and try to learn some more
if my words were written down
and shouted from a hill
i wonder if you’d listen
a hope i wish you would fulfill
if i spoke my words to you
would you take notice or just leave
i wonder if you’d even care
or just abandon me

thoughts come crashing out of sound
my fingertips just jotting down
the words and all the feelings too
with depths as vast as the ocean blue
the lyrics flee my mouth and mind
as quickly as this watch tells time
each second ticks to match my pen
etching this paper from end to end
we’re emptying the flowing cup
of tears and smiles, it’s not enough
to cleanse me of those dying days
of barking dogs and kids at play
forever shadows in my brain
they’re never to be real again
but nothing will change for me
for i will never be set free
until words fall from outer space
into this soundproof plastic case
where they can scream but won’t be heard
for nothing is quite more absurd
than silences that shriek aloud
and chatter mouths who can’t be found
only fools attempt to understand
and that is why we walk this land

whispered thoughts flow through my brain
while ice cold blood flows through my veins
my mind is dark and my heart made of stone
i’m left to obsess in this house all alone
my glass is breaking, i’m fading fast
consumed with my many ghosts of the past
it is clear this world is not mine for the taking
as i realize dreams are not meant for the waking

forever means never, to believe is to lie, to trust is to lust and to try is to die. so hope for forever and keep on believing, trust in yourself and your goals keep achieving. but, forever will happen and lies may be told, lust is inevitable and you die when you’re old.
