my head was in the clouds
but now i'm on the ground
i keep thinking about the sky
but i can't go back now
remember what it was like
dancing upon the air
wind in my soul
cotton in my hair
i miss the hum
of distant planes
i used to be free
now i'm weighed down by chains
my head was in the clouds
but now i'm on the ground
i fell from the sky
and lost all i found

I'm lost in madness thinkin'
The devil inside me brewin'
Waitin', for you to be seen
Darker than it has ever been
So afraid I might lose you.
I sit back in
the place of attack, but equipped for
battle this time;
The enemy won't win.
I laugh at him as
I greet the dawn with
a love soaked heart.
It smells like
leather, and my baby's hair.
I'm fully aware of
the antagonist's snares, and tricks,
but we won't be trapped.
See, this isn't a
tragedy, it's the epitome
of romance and victory.
I'm a stallion, and
she rides me into
the evening as we
eat peaches and
pomegranates, and let
the juice glisten on
our faces in God's
glorious setting sun.

Noting changes.
Nothing grows.

Empty highs.
Empty lows.

I can't feel the warm,
And I can't feel the cold.

You try to make me happy,
And I try just for you.
But other than our trying,
Nothing else is new.

I worry I'll upset you,
If I can't make a change.
It's not fair of me,
To make you stay the same.
Don't let me drag you down with me.
-her full
and
longing lips

-her thighs
that bring me
deep into
a mischief
so raw
and sweet

-every
granular
part of her
tasted
like
fresh,
pure
cane sugar

-she was
unhealthy
for my heart
but,

my
throbbing
sweet tooth
no longer
heeds the
warning

-death
couldn't be,

any
sweeter

Emptiness reflects off the mirror
An eternal truth rests in my empty bed
Propaganda flashes on the tv screen
The unclean window shares my view
And the drain knows my dreams

They heard you calling
They were not really there
In your imagination
Vanished into thin air
Take it in and see what they are worth
Perhaps they are not the type for you to move heaven and earth
Stop looking and what you might find
Is right under your nose is the love if your life
The one you didn’t realize you left behind
Refocus and look more deeply than before
Listen to the songs of life like you never have walking out the door and forever more
Your heart wants what is in store

For skeptics synchronicity
Is mere Chance
The law of very large numbers

For others
It's like Irish dance
And sympathic Polish plumbers

For me, I'm not sure
It happens
But what does it mean?

I certainly am not pure
But I do
Like the wearin'  o' the Green

And some Stranger Things
I indeed have seen.

I would set my body aflame if it meant I would feel
warmth from you
