Frivol and waste subside the pace
A layer between your state of grace
And ego-ranting lips
The legend we'll choose for lack of clues
The truth is sailing ships
Chris 4d
Spring's green sagging trees complete the frame
Horizon masks the underbrush below
I wander up the street each time the same
But who I'll have beside I would not know
The hill over the hills can reach the sky
And many a lazy cloud has taken rest
But if I ever found myself that high
I'd ponder just as far as I could West
Faded somewhere out that foggy way
A voice will sometimes call my name aloud
I do regret I won't hear what she'll say
But still the Spring goes on benieth the cloud
   The past and I alone will never mend
   The threads that reach from my home to no end

He hopes to realize that he's walked past her
When she tries to die he hopes he's faster
The love he owns stems from disaster
He'll search through death but he won't outlast her
Chris 5d
No stalkers ever target me
None plagiarize my poetry
My heart string scars are good to me
But my lonesome mind will disagree

The cause lay by the railroad tracks
My alibi is laced with cracks
I am a legend mixed with facts
So righteous that my soul attacks

Was a day

Life long and some years ago
The killing winds begged me to go
Toxic love swayed to and fro
And nights we always dug in low

Fire and laughter woke my eyes
I clawed my way to airy skies
I've lied if that's the big surprise
I'm a wanted poster in disguise

I fell from grace late one night
Wrothe in pain from the Devil's bite
So any you dirtbags seeking light
You'll find yourself where we ain't right
Chris 5d
It eased my mind and soothed my soul
Then ruled the darkness black as coal
The Summer wind in times as these
Blew steady South down through the trees
And,oh, my fondest loves steadfast
Fled one by one with eyes downcast
Move my footsteps,make it rain
And take me home benieth the train

Long ago I'd known the way
Ran the roads 'till she went away
But maybe while those days blew past
I lost my hold and paid at last
She seeks neither truth nor sane
And I couldn't live these lies again

So through her cries and broken heart
I felt great sadness tear apart
The wonderous woman, I instead
Searched for a cure,she wished me dead
I woke inside my lover's fire
Cried her name as never prior
Clawed my way to better air
Her cutting laughter ended there

I alone not looking back
Wandered briefly down the track
Chris 5d
Under the railroad tracks mid train
Screaming through the driving rain
With all it's mile of stunning weight
Crushing over our homeless state

A leaky cave turns fire to steam
And none, I've tried, will hear a scream
Lived here, largely,gone some years
The walking man who disappears

Surfacing when darkness ends
Where,on who's version, much depends
Zombie street life oozes in
The city with their scabby grin

Rummaging these filthy trails
Scratched by septic fingernails
Scatter piles they blindly steer
Burn and bright when passing here

Back to you all dressed in tape
Your eyes in their unveiling shape
When I know where the Devil is
Your future now entangles his
Chris 5d
While the first edge of the Moon arrived
She'd have been on her way
But the sky runs late by the riverside
And hindsight shows the way

November I awoke, no rain
The clouds were through with me
And on that hilltop looking down
I reckoned she'd agree

Years gone and she dreams of me
What shameful things I'd say
As rarely as she walks through mine
I can't get the time of day
