Traveler
While free climbing
life’s jagged ledge
I lost hold and fell
to my death
is was at the bottom
that I came alive
don’t let this world
confuse you
life never dies

The lies we tell of God
Are no baptisms in a dripping moon
No cleansing in and of sunlight
No anointing me of Earth

The lies we tell of God
A mark of mortal rage
A mourning that glows and devours
The fingerprints of our ancestors

The lies we tell of God
are the lies we tell of ourselves

Lost Indeed
There is a tear in my eyes but it doesn't belong to me.
It was harvested by your words.
And cursed by your seed.

The path is carved.
To the silver river flow.
My heart is now broken.
Because you took my soul.

misha
your name is
forbidden in
my mouth
or in my heart
because when
i think about
you;

i'll cry a little more,
hurt a little stronger
love a little softer
because you no longer
make me feel sober

i'm drunk on the
memory of you
if only i could chase you with pizza but shots don't work like that

Empire
Sometimes
I want to spin
Myself into a
Hurricane
Just to
Feel
The
Calm
In
The
Eye
Because without the storm, how would you know what calm is?
Darkened, a part of me
listen's calm to a
melody coming from the
depth of me.

A solitude moment, a
memory passing by
like a dove in flight.

Waves flow from oceans
deep over feet worn
sore from walking paths
of confusion, lacking
knowledge, understanding
of life that blisters
through the soul of
man.

Eyes of trust stare in despair
through minds, drawn
by darkness closing doors
of what was once a reality.

Weakness crashes like welded
steel, melting hearts distorted
with torment and uncertainty.

Color me what you must, am
standing here like a newborn
babe, free at last.

The sun shines so early
this morning

but your face reads cloudy
with a chance of smiting rain

what do we do where
do we go from here

I've taken this journey
with you before

almost
to the point of no return

Rain,
but don't rain like this
I don't feel like remembering
or dreaming
so rain
only just enough
to wet the streets
but let people move on
we will make
One. Big. Umbrella.
big enough for all of us to say
rain,
any way you want

TIM ANDREWS
You said yes
And now I cannot wait
Until I see your smile
Feel your hands on my skin
Your breath on my face
What have you done to me?
Everything
What do you mean to me?
Everything
What do I want?
Everything.
