Never take more than you can chew
The mightiest rivers are single-minded
Calm to the eye, yet they run deep
Beautifully, Silently.

Detours came my way
Martha was stable
Lorraine was pretty
And I ended up alone

Seek freedom from thyself
Always willing to walk away
Either by choice or circumstances
Like the wind through the storm

Life without movement is difficult
It reeks of death, a filthy void
A place of mediocrity and settling
Like water dammed behind a wall

The path to exploration,
Uncovers priceless gems.
Burried deep within layers of fear
Away from the light
Like opening your heart to a stranger

A beautiful diamond
Clear and true, as the north star.
Burning ceaselessly,
throughout the night.
Heightening my senses.
Coloring the world.
And through the eyes.
You are welcomed into my heart;
And you stay up there,
forever clear and true

I saw her today, walking by herself.
Eyes fixed on the phone.
I froze to appreciate her beauty.
She looked up, calling out my name
and I only smiled back.
She reached out and I firmly held her hand.
Feeling her thin and warm blood vessels.
Time ceased in this perfect bubble
I wanted to tell her, I had to tell her,
but my pride got in the way.
I slowly walked away, walls tumbling down
My sanity thanked me, for adhering to reality.
A brutal drug that does not cloud judgement.
I saw her today and it all came back to me,
All the fantasies and memories.
I saw her today and she haunts my day.

Women are puzzles, men are players
Ever-changing, unsolvable puzzles
Most assume, but never knowing
A few quit, the rest die trying

Striving to look attractive and youthful
They all bended a knee
Yet all she wanted was attention
They lost a battle, not the war

A genius showed up and kept still
Without ideas nor solutions,
and she he played herself into oblivion
And that's how you win.

Beauty soaks the eyes and sings my soul out to the sea.
Sinking in the sand and gazing at the void.
The salty waves crashing on to the shores,
Like an emotionally confused lover.

Treading out to yield to thy temptation,
Waves roar for the flame within.
The sea rocks back and forth,
And it regurgitates.

Lacking, I confined in you,
Clothed in your glorious radiance,
The warmth of the rays on my skin,
I fought and leaped a little longer,
For together we were a monstrous lie,
Truth sacrificed to feed the flame,
Very close and yet chained in secrets.

Going somewhere without a compass,
A journey without a destination,
Never prepared for what awaits us,
We constantly stumbled on to reality,
Bruised and forever missing you,
The memories keep me awake at night.

The breeze flows through and around
The river meanders through and around
The darkness lurks in the deepest of the deep
Humans are not kind to each other

Afraid of something out there
I run from the society
And yet I get nowhere
Now I crawl to my tomb
Where bliss is silence
