Wishing for the sun,
staring at the moon.
Visions of the day,
leaving way too soon.
Walking through the mists,
darkness throughout.
Overwhelming distance,
but courage is found.
Running forward,
faster than before.
The light is reached,
sadness is no more.

Maybe the next time I see you
I will put some lipstick on
And your fingers will find me
The way nobody ever will

Maybe the next time I see you
We can sit next to each other
And your hand could rest
Somewhere no one should know

Maybe the next time I see you
I can rest my head on your chest
As you rest your heart into me
With the world fading into oblivion

A garden full of sweat and tears
The weeds have choked what once was mine
  Each blossom that manages to escape the dark
   Have learned to make a difference

A graveyard filled with rotten years
Enveloped by forgotten memories
  The night guard keeps watch on the nothingness
   On the heavy and solemn eternal embraces

An abandoned swing hangs from the oak
That sits in the backyard filled with heartbreak
  Everyone as left and the windows are lacking light
   Even the moon cannot break the shield of ivy vines

Through that small window in the top left hand corner
A shard of hope still lingers with the perfume of life empty
  One eye is all it takes to glance out and see the landscape
   Not a single soul remembers the occurrences in that house

The night guard makes his way as dawn breaks
He's weary from watching over those awful tombs
  Up the paths, through the garden, to the front door
   A stench floods his nose, but that stench is long gone

It is only a memory of a promise he could not keep
Up to the top left hand corner window
  Well, Mr. Gravedigger, bury me soon,
    He smiled at the bottle he should have put down

But that was why his beloved family
Rest in the ground behind his house and his garden
  The teddy bear in his dead daughter's crib
   Reminds him of all the **** that he once did

He screams at the bottle as if it's somehow its fault
That the night guard could not watch over his life
  He opens a cabinet and places the barrel
   Pressed to his head, then pulls the trigger, but he isn't dead

What cruelty is this? I want my wife back!
The night guard lay bleeding on his sweet daughter's carpet
  The sirens started wailing as the sun peeked through
   And poor Mr. Night Guard descended to Hell
Well this is decidedly ******...
Yesterday I visited Cherrapunjee.
Visited the scenes of my boyhood escapades
Looked for the crooks of the trees
Where we perched on exam Sundays
Hidden from the sun, the warden
Plucking berries with the squirrels and birds
Reciting poetry and chasing apparitions.
But they are gone, all gone.
The beautiful huts are still there
With a coat of coal and limestone dust
But not the beautiful trees without.
I traced the trail of the river
Where as truant boys we frolicked
With some fear of the master's cane
And loved the half cooked picnic.
Tried to find the mountain pool that once
Swallowed a friend and almost me!
But, there's only a faint string
Among the ragged cheek bones, and where
The eye was, just a dry hollow.
A pound of flesh and more exacted!
The mighty falls are gone and
In their stead the quarries resound
Rat holes and palaces jostle for space.
From afar I hear old Kong Yulin
Cry "How green was my valley!"

****** don't want respect no more
they just want clout
stealing **** they didn't used to be about
but i guess it's "**** or be killed"
and yeah, it's crooked
but the world doesn't let you be skilled in something that's already in you
i can't sit here and write for free
because i'm supposed to be looking for money
scratch my head and worry over answers i'll never find
i know what i want though
so i shade my eyes so they don't know i'm not blind
i can't go with the rest- it's a struggle
going against the flow
is bruising me; i'm wounded
the others like me are slowing turning wilted
i'm left standing in the sun
and even though i'm shining, they don't see it
they're eyeless and i'm the only one
