Monday January 15th 2018
I need to go to a burning man. I need to lose myself in the woods for a year. I need to make my threshold and enter through. I heard my call a long time ago but I just never...
   I can't stand myself any longer! I must lose who I am to find what I am to become. And I can't do that in a world where I exist in everyone around me. I need a place with none of me and plenty of else. So much that I can spread myself out to one thought thick. Finally be raw, enough to see myself clearly.

   I shouldn't worry about forevers, because forevers are simply composed of nows.

   I want quiet place to sit against the tree, look out over a lake, and read until my eyes bleed pleasure, my brain secretes knowledge, and my heart wisdom.
   A place to harbor a gentle haze of mind, a place to leave myself behind. Just and think and think some more, until and passed the point of being head sore.
   I want to place with plenty of glasses, and plenty of cracks, plenty of muses and no ways back.
   A place full of forevernows and nevermores, where people are stupid enough to cross the desert because of a recurring dream. A place of pink purple sunsets and endless shores.

   How mirrors have learned to lie I will never know, because I don't recognize the person they show. I have to turn them around because even my own eyes try to deceive me.

  If I don't I will always want to. If I do I won't enjoy every step, but I will a few.
   The hands that shaped this road are now, older.
   I don't know how I will, and a not even sure I understand why I will. All I know for certain is I MUST.

   Because I can't stay here. If I do I will fall in love with possibilities, and not realities. I will fall in making people out to be more than a person. I will lose my heart to and afterimage of a dream, and even if I do I would never have pursued it anyways. I want to leave the field, sell my flock, and start my full circle, or square.
   Wherever I go I have no plan know method know fall backs, but the beautiful hair of uncut graves. With only the Spektor inside my books to hold me.
   I want to hear the symphony of stars each night and have the wind tell me its stories of its travels that day.
   I want to sleep knowing the poppies stand guard.
  
   I know nothing, and I'm ready to listen, but first I must get out of my hand made prison, burn the map smashed of compass. Put my feet anywhere besides in front of the other that way I'm going nowhere fast and never looking back.

   I want to teach myself the song of my soul, so that I can hum every bar by heart, but I can't do that here. Not in this place of paper people and towns who live their lives never getting wet.

   It says if I can ever catch my breath, that I'm strangle lading in the stench of mold and excitement of leaving and never coming back.

   Mark here this day, as I lie awake at night as the last moment I spent outside the labyrinth. I need, no, I must leave find a place where I can listen to my heart and drink and its wisdom. But that place is not here I don't know where to, but I must start.
   Thomas Edison last words were " its very beautiful over there, I don't know where they're is, but I believe it somewhere, & I hope it's beautiful"

Bliss is ignorance
After a long day of realizing she discovered that her arms had grown into a car.

The car drove about as fast as her legs could carry it and stopped only when she slept. It cornered like a cat and burned oil like a lemon. It got her where she needed to go only as long as she realized it could. It went nowhere fast and everywhere slow before the old steam engine ran out of coal. Her brother said it was a foolish dream to still have at 16 but she just ran him over. Day after day her arms grew tired of taking the abuse of holding her up. It took quite a while until she realized could call a better one up. So she smiled at the weeds until they turned roses and grinned at the bees till they drowned in honey and let her drink up the extra with a straw. She frowned at the bullies outside her house until lightning smoothed them into splatters of ash. She thought a bit more of how doing her chores really ****. ****** what? Her mother would say? She just glowered at said Daddy more then you! And knew it to be true when she saw chores come to the door long after mom had gone for "Arron's". It took her a while to get back in her car and finally see her brother still stained the windshield with grow up. He was nine. Was being the term. I think that's what he would answer but no matter how big I smile at cancer or still whisks him away whispering he's mine Bea. Maybe if I could grow my chest into roses when boys look down at them for who knows what reason I can say smell away, and take one if you please. It won't be that hard to go all bizarre when I finally realized my arms were the doors to my cars.

Calling out
So find please my girl of my dreams I can hardly wait longer,
My chest pleads in search of its eternal partner,
Your luscious hair and body so fair together have no rival,
Your image sweet with me complete I see us happily together,
So find me please, girl in my dreams for I am young no longer

A Criminal Mind
It wasn't for my dues, the scorn, my shave,
Though the unjust are secure here with me,
The stand, I stood to plead my case,
Brick walls, clad guards, catch all hopeful scheme,
They hope four walls, a cot, dropped soap, will right,
My disposition to correct in time,
I alone fear not my demons of night,
Should my last breath not beweep, death sing kime,
There be a deaf heaven for men like I,
Fire'n brimstone pave the path to Gehenna,
Be me drenched in tears of a dead mans lye,
Still regret me not, glaciem mea venas,
My only fault myself despising wrought,
Be the ten for billion that I got caught.

Ode to Friday
Oh Friday how you ravish me,
  My breath falls short as I cling to your visage,
I'm currently getting over Monday,
  We'll be together soon...

I dreamt of you again,
  You kept me up all night,
With your promises of tomorrow,
  I can't wait until you are...

The first six days after my leave,
  Burn with an ever greater ferocity,
I miss your sweet kiss,
  Your my seventh heaven on the fifth,
Your golden potential,
  Makes Wednesday ripe with rage...

Oh I can't wait to breach your embrace,
  As your primal relief
Is only but an eve away
  Please cut me some slack,
Just wait on your back,
  And I'll prove Thursday and I
Are but only good friends...

You welcome me in with a wave and a grin,
  It's as if I've never left
I'm so sorry you had to see me away,
  With Monday thru Thursday,
But I swear I was thinking of you the whole time...

Timeless eyes
Have you ever looked
At the stars as they shine?
They all watch down
A strange way, divine
A sky of angels, a sky of ghosts
I've learned much as they visit each night
They tell me their secrets
The ones that only the dead should know
But they speak to me
I'll be ****** if I know
But they come back each night without fail
"Come child, listen"  
They whisper and wail
"We have a tale for you"
"Where the mighty fall.
And the weak prevail…"

Please won't you stay?
My friend your lost
lost in this world of blues and greys
watching from a distance
please wont you stay?

I try every day to keep you with me
Yet every day your wrists smile free
Free to drag you down into the ground
To your eternal slumber
Not so sweet
You make barely a sound
As every time gets closer
And closer to your end
I try and try to keep you here,
Here with me
and them
A constant struggle recently. Wish it didn't have to be
Aug 2015 · 576
As much as I want
Every time my eyes close to blink
The embrace of sleep tempts me
Every time my lids veil me from the world
I fear it may be my last
I fear that I'll drift off to naught with
Your face on my mind
Your name on my lips
I fear if I drift off now
I might long for your kiss

I'll try and stay up for you
To keep you out, to keep me safe
As if I lay down here with your face at heart
a lonely root of desire might try to bloom
For this flower can also break it apart
Which is why I ease my lids open
To **** this ****
Before it starts
Aug 2015 · 375
One glance back
Its like your trying to break my heart again
When you look at me that way
Jun 2015 · 355
Not even when I rest
I dreamed a dream
And you were in it
I dreamt of your love
Oh how I long for it
I cried when I woke
Because I left your embrace
And I waited all day
To lay down to rest
And dream of you once more...

Edict
A tear for every missing soul from their mate
For every person depressed and longing
A hug and a smile
For all those waiting for love
Good luck
(You'll need it)

Lover in the fog
I don't know why
Nor do I know who
But I'm missing someone
Someone special it's true
I can't see their face
Although I am certain it's beautiful
I don't know their voice
But I'm positive it moves nations
I can't feel their arms around me
I can't...but I'm dying of longing for it
I imagine their lips on mine
That's all I can seem to do...
Imagine...
Hope....
Dream...
Long for the minute when I'll once again
Meet your lips
Hear your song
And once this moment comes
I'll never let you go
My love don't ever leave again

I hope you can wait for me to find you
May 2015 · 376
Willing...am I?
Come and claim me like no other
Please Hold me have me kiss me softly
Paint my lips with the colour of your love
The scarred canvas of my heart can take another
Beautiful artist from up on high
Paint me the colours of soul
I'll stay here till you finish.
Or till I'm let off on parol

"I'm scared..."
Doo doodoo what can you do
Such small child alone in your bed
Doo doodoo what can you do
When the bogeyman lays eyes on your head
Doo dadee da da de do he won't stop coming for you
Look over your shoulder but not will you find
For child oh child he rests solely in your mind

Be not afraid for here I will be
Right at your side and to keep you and free from all who would harm you
To help you and hold you my ever beautiful child
So rest your eyes and open your mind for I will stand guard
Be not afraid.
The morn is not far...
Some still say "how could you possibly?..."
Which is why I still turn and walk away
I deal with the devil that pays rather then that one that does not
Why could I possibly?...
Well...
That's a coffin for another day
So for now I'll click my heels and walk, astray

My dead march peacefully and silently so
Knowing and frothing their one place to go
But I care no more no less
I'm the one they send to clean up this mess
Been a while. Ever watched john wick? Kinda inspired this
Mar 2015 · 306
I do whats _______
I was once asked what would I do
If I had to make a choice,
Between that which was best for you
And that which would make you happy

Which would I choose?
You asked me Intently
Well now that I've made my choice
Please let it be the right one
Mar 2015 · 300
All that's left
"Smile!"
Click goes the little light box
As it steals away another memory
So let's connect the dots we have
And maybe it will map out our future
And maybe it'll be the way we want to go
Mar 2015 · 737
Old school simple
My chances to escape
From your tempting wake
Are being sifted as wheat as we stand here together
Turning away will never grow better
From this point on it'll only get worse
Because hopefully to escape our love
I'll require a hearse
Mar 2015 · 495
Worthy?
Hand in hand braced against the world
We take on each new day
"With you by my side I will never stray"
I hope that's true because
As long as your there wandering out with me
I'm too captivated by your boundless Beauty
That flows inside and out
How can I possibly look away
When I can barely believe I'm touching it
Mar 2015 · 261
It's just...her
The hazel honey colour of the autumn trees
May as well get going with the birds and the bees
But sorry that's what I think when my hand
Breezes through the locks of your hair
Just like how that rainbow I saw out the rain stained window
Has nothing on the one I see shining in your eyes
But be that as it may even the birds in the  trees
Cant match the melody of your voice that you own with ease

Now tell me how it's all held together

Wait I think I know.
It's that blinding kindness that's woven inside and out
Mar 2015 · 357
Over my shoulder
Oh where to go that you you will not follow
Another city? Another place?
Another home till tomorrow?
Your like diseased gum thats glued to my shin
A fish hook that just won't come out of my thumb
As a sin I just can't repent of...as snow white matted with crimson
After all the time I hid the door from you
You kicked it down and waltzed right through
I left you once back then
but you can't let me go
now can you?
Mar 2015 · 330
People now today
stop go up left
find it hide it run now cleft
to everything you and we and hidden away
leave it there now there
inside it'll stay
all those afraid of the light now with
all that they've left unbetrayed
us light bleeders
on the other side of that gate
we'll stand looking thru
offering each others hand
to those special few
lets pull them to the gate
but never let them through
Mar 2015 · 576
What once was...
Through his ribs
Nestled beside her lungs
There what's mine lies
My hand gently holds
This small scarred creature
War torn and timid
From its countless lashes and beatings
I take it and hold it out away from me
Though it's all that's left
All that's still me
My arms aren't mine not time more
My legs belong to some guy not here
And my skin is from everywhere
What once mine now belongs in the ground
Ransomed to shreds by compassion
Scattered on the breeze caring
The thread that holds my sharded form
Are woven from hate, anger and coals of kindled sadness
Strung with despair
I'm so dead but barely alive
Sadly alive and peacelessly dead
My innocence left hand in hand with my soul that fateful day
Along with one other
As Im dragged by my chains back to my cell of this body
I regretfully coax my pet back into its place
Sew it sadly and safely in place
With ignorance and craving
Then seeps back full of my fear and instinct
It's all I got left as I bite clean the thread
Drop it to never return soon
And continue on this grey and rainy night
With only the Quenching sound of my shoes to keep my sanity
The sceptre of servants
Swirls in the night
Leaving wake in the star speckled sky
As plucks for its strikee the stars they fall
One down
two down
three down
Fall They come to the stick of the beaten
It to they bring a poisonous light
Now from me please take this
And bear it with our shameful pride
The cross of the innocent
Bears not the weight to bring down
It ensures chains to make you fly
To soar in the black oil law
So again please take this ire from me  
Bear it as high as go it may
For once it's gone
Another day won't away
For here with you my treasure will stay
Feb 2015 · 415
Hurry ~ you
Forsake me and just begin
This heart conditioning exercise in futility
The one where no one wins  
Just please
Satisfy this binge
Leaves swirl on the autumn breeze
As the grass waves to the sun
The pond it glistens as a sheet of diamonds
Even after we've jumped in

The birds sing summers song
As the crickets the days make long
From out perch up on this hill
We can see our home and home, where err they may be

Whispered promises of days to come
From the trees so tall they can see it
But when we see for ourselves
At the peak of our mountains climbed, begin

The reeds shooting up through the mirrored pond
As numerous as the flaws on your you
Crossed and crossed and together make new
Don't they know the rules of this life?

Can't get to close to that wood iron fence
The one with no gate to harbour
That massive telestial weight that holds the boarder
Of today's tomorrow past
And yesterday's today to come
Feb 2015 · 339
Unworthy
Try me and see what I say
Take me and hold me and steal me away
Quite bitter is the fruit though, of which I am wrought
But compared to you, your sweet orchard it's nothing it's not
Feb 2015 · 385
Knock knock
I'm not so sure anymore
That I'll be able to keep my laws
To keep myself who I want to be
To keep myself who I am
When your right at the gate to my mind
Beckoning for me to leave the virtue of my walls
To leave behind all that
For you
And you know what?
When your right there
just standing there
I'm already on my way to you with the key
Not to let you in
But for you to break me out.
Feb 2015 · 265
Not a poem. A challenge
I'm gonna try and live every day with this in mind. " I am here to do something great. I am here to do something of change for others. I will Live every day knowing that my goal isn't to live forever. But to leave behind something that will. Live every day as me best and last. So if I was to drop dead right now. I would be able to look back on my life, and be proud. To have others look back on my life and see hope. Inspiration. Wisdom. Truth. Peace. That they learn from the mistakes I made so they don't have to make the same ones to learn that lesson. I want to live. Die and be remembered and learned from long after im gone. I want my kids and grandkids to be proud to say. "That's my dad!" Or "Yep! That's my grandpa!" If I was to die tonight. I would want to die and be remembered by those I love and those who I'll never know. I want to die remembered."

Thx
Thx
I'm coughed to death
And sniffles to match
Numbered as  grains of sand on the beach
Are my ailments that are laching me up
I'm sick
Really friggin sick.

In both my body


And my head
Feb 2015 · 349
Deadly longing
Come.
Take me down to your level
But only, on one condition
Don't ever let me see how far I've fallen
Cuz even for you
I won't be able to take it T

Greatness(n) ~
Findyour dreams.
Grasp* them.
Hold* them.
Really strive for them.
Wrestle them down
Keep going for them
Even of they try and wriggle free
When failure kicks at your shins
Remember! It takes NO effort to be a loser
Grab your goals
Fight! Fight for them!
If you want it bad enough
Don't. Give. Up!
Don't give all those who would cheer at your fall
an opportunity
Don't wait for a perfect opportunity either
Go for it now!
and I do mean now!!
Fight for it! and fight hard
Really dig in your heels
Hold on to that dream
Beat it
No
Excuses
Beat it good and grab another
You don't become Great for nothing
Being Great, is just a bunch of small dreams done well
So get to it
Harness your will
Put the chains to it
Let nothing hold you down
Break the mold!
Set yourself free
Do what other wont
Remember.... The goal isn't to live Forever

It's to create something that *will
Now go watch motivational videos on youtube all night and then come tell me your not a better person

(I'll probably always be editing this. cuz theres always more to say)

Everyone's thoughts
Since I was born
I have never stopped thinking
Why?...
Sometimes I sit ask myself
Who am i?
My angels stand on my shoulders
and whisper their lies in my ears
One from each level and I'm the one from here
They say many things both good and ill
to win me to their side
Who do I believe?

but then I realize
I cant change that
So again, I'll ask myself
Not "who am I?"
but, who am I becoming?

Again they speak with their seductive tongues
They're not here for me
They're here to make me
I need to shut them out
Cuz that,
That I can change
So can they, and they know it
Sometimes even without me realizing
I can let that happen again
So since I cant seem to  
just shut them up for me
Please set me free

To become, who i wanna be
It Called "MY" life for a reason

Ruthless beauty
I cant breathe

No. not figuratively

oh but I wish

but yea I cant breathe

Not with your smile at my throat

Call me a bad person but...

Nighttime treason
The moon speaks to me
As stars watch us closely
The the evening breeze keeps me cold
As I spread my wings and take flight

I leap into the sky and soar
with my lead wings
I take in the wondrous view
with my blind eyes
I feel the lustre of the wicked night
With my infinitely shattered heart
As I glide silently as crickets
Through the field of stars

And take up my place in the heavens
I'm hopped up once again
As  this familiar euphoria
streaks through my veins
I clutch at my heart
It barely remains

It's taken the whiplash
of this addictive mix
This fickle drug it either
fulfills your wishes
Or plays tricks

Finally!...
It sets in as I throw my head back with a
Gasp
It dances in my brain
My vision dims and my body yearns
for mor(phine)
Because no matter how much it hurts

I always shoot up
I can't get enough (i cant get free)
I always want (need) more
Cuz im hopelessly addicted
(please just end me...)
Cuz I cant live without
Your love
My addiction
My drug

Here...
Ill take it.
However you give it.
Over and over again
(Until it finally kills me...)
maybe ill redo it into a picture poem
Open. (Wrong one) close
Open. (not here) closing
knock. its locked (dang)
keep on searching (your never gonna find it)
I've got to find it (yea but you wont)
but there are so many (well of course)
Doors (what'd you expect? an open window to glance through?)
which to choose (your not yet ready)
How to find the right one? (you already know)
I cant be looking forever (but you will if you must)
This labyrinth...Which one to trust? (neither will do)
My head or my heart? (theres more than those two)
Is it this one here? (nope just another black end)
Slam
This is impossible. I'll never find it (your looking in all the wrong places)
How? (your looking out for something you carry within)
This door in my chest? (you tell me)
Here I go...
Now that I've found it...what do I see? (I don't know)
(What were you looking for?)
Tick. Tock.
The clock is breathing (but not for you...)
Tick. Talk.
Those markings we can't live without (not me...not you)
Tick. Tock.
It marks your spot in time (ha! your going to die! Stupid...)
Tick. Talk.
The clock mercilessly keeps going (it's not me who's going to burn. It's you! It's you!)
Tick. Tock.
It's face expressionless (it doesn't care...no one does)
Tick. Talk.
Climbing and falling around and back down (you can't stop it...not now, not ever!)
Tick. Tock.
And getting back up each morn and nightbreak (but, not this time...not for you)
Tick. Talk.
Time to get going (you won't come back)
Tick. Tock.
You will miss our date (your about to crack)
Tick. Talk.
You should really hurry (your no longer on your way)
Tick. Tock.
Your running out of time (your really running away)
Tick. Talk.
It's getting away (no...not really)
Tick. Tock.
She won't wait (your word must be kept)
Tick. Talk.
She's coming for you (to collect her payment)
Tick. Tock.
Run. Run RUN (theres no point)
Tick. Talk.
You can't escape (I already tried)
Tick. Tock.
She's right behind you (what a surprise)
Tick. Talk.
Your not going to make it (your about to die)
Tick. Tock.
Your frantic to escape (ha...don't bother)
Tick. Tock.
But you never can see her (I couldn't either)
Tick. Tock.
No matter which shoulder you look over (she's not chasing you)
Tick. Tock.
And through the back your run (it only seems that way)
Tick. Tock.
And before you hit the ground (don't get me wrong your dead)
Tick. Tock.
Your death as payment (you sold your soul...you were always hers to take)
Tick. Tock.
And crumple in a pool of your own lifeblood (Yep your really gone)
Tick. Tock.
The clock strikes the zero hour (your time had come)
Tick. Tock.
And keeps right on breathing (Cuz you? You were nothing...)
Tick Tock
Tick Talk
Tick Tock
(Just like me...)
The clock makes me think of Big Brother

One more fall
Today your here

I don't think I'll be able to take
my failure

with you
When your gone
From this life
IM failing to keep you safe

"you cant have me"

and painfully
friendly

Ever feel like this?
Now im just rambling
about thoughts i cant have
about things i cant see
well i hope im not the only one who feels this way
Are you with me?


(in this starscape of pretty poisons and insanity)
Feb 2015 · 372
pffft *groan*
Those waking hours when I cant fall asleep
its because if i do
im afriad you'll plague my dreams with your beauty
or that I'll awake in yours and poison it with my weakness



For you
Feb 2015 · 433
the one thing i cant have
I want to know

what your lips taste like
but your not mine to explore
**** now im the friend wishing for their end
Feb 2015 · 301
Leave easily (yea right)
Roses are blue
Violets are black
My love my wonder
Please dont come back
Take this bouquet and nothing more
Take only that and here,
I'll show you the door
walk through that door
and dont look back
Bacause if you do
I'll follow you out
Feb 2015 · 918
She's a keeper
Shes got a face not spoiled by beauty
Hands not marred with jealousy
A kiss not powered by wonder
and hips not fueled by lust
She has a ring finger not driven by greed
This girl has eyes that dont look for the best
but accept the worst
and are not afriad of what mine have seen
Her heart is not stealable
so with me she'll stay  
I'll do my best to keep it that way
and her mind cant get any blacker
so with mine it will
This girl has scars from where shes been
so with mine they mark us together
Hopefully...


Forever
