color me in,

leave me there,

let my conscious bloom,

and when you're around,

i promise to smile at you.

is not a drug,

but a dream kept afar,

i can't hold it with hands,

but i love when it's near.

like a dream,

you appeared, you weren't there,

you set fire to my brain,

for years you were just living here,

loving nothing but exit stairs.
Where are those cemeteries filled with centurions?
where are the legions we lost?

Only in America?

If we found them today
CSI would be all over it
they'd spirit them away
and put them on display
at the Smithsonian

Good luck is what I say
from the Egyptian rooms
at the
British Museum

Then they'll charge all the people
a dollar and a half just to see 'em
or was that for a big yellow taxi ride?

If you know you know and if you don't
know you're none the wiser
My bags are packed
I’m ready to go
I’m leavin’ you now
But you should know

My pen has ink
And it will flow
Soon I’ll return
With a happy glow

It’s only for
A 2-week trip
Then I’ll come back
With newfound zip.

I'm free as the ocean,
brighter than the star,
calm as the earth,
and gentle as the wind,

but at times
I feel as if

I'm drowning in the deep
burning from the light
Buried in the dirt
and cold as the night
So much for trying to keep myself away from writing but here I am

And you know in your heart,
your secrets are your own.
Wrapped up in your own armor,
yet lost in confusion,
mitigated by chance.
And when you've given your all
true adage advice will ring.
It's easy, they told me,
you just keep going
and you get old in
no time at all

Dare I manifest

all that I’m

not meant

to hold

 

There laid upon

my chest

a mirror

made of gold

 

One in which

reflects her loving

shine

 

But

 

Even if I loved her

to let her go


I'm sure even a mirror

made of gold

can fracture with time
