Sometimes I stare at an object and try to make some sort of connection through its physical being and the life I'm living now.
I always thought poetry was to be an expression of how someone was feeling or the struggles they have been through as some sort of venting relieve from the world. But now I realize its much more. Poetry is whatever you want it to be. A story, and feeling, a want, a need, even imagination .
Theirs no need for structures, stanzas, or rhymes. You give it thought, and a meaning will arise.

Besides poetry I love to express my words through playing guitar. Although I love to write lyrics for them I never seem to use them when I play because I hear the words with ever pick and strum of the strings. And as I lit a candle to play among the flicker of
It's light. To play of a valentines day love from long ago. A love I will never have again with that same individual. I stared  into the light to understand why it
Never worked out. And yes I probably sound very superstitious with fate and all. But as I looked into the flame I realized, that the wick the wax so lovingly grasped slowly became a liquid . And as the flame made its way down to its final flash all that was remaining was a charred string. And I found myself finally breaking free from my heartache of misfortune.
You can't go on being
Miserable over one little thing, over one little person. Yea, that candle may have been the best light you have seen, but their is plenty more out there, and with a little effort to pull a Match, You can light a new candle.

The wind whispers stories from some other land.
Two thousand miles away in some Barron sands
If you listen close and and do nothing but hear
Those miles it's seen its now finally here.

Three seas and three shores it has traveled alone.
Blown through the leaves and makes a gurgling  tone.
The words are unclear from the hardship it grazed
As it hits my face I can tell it's in rage.

A lot like my life the air seems to cast
I wonder why all my memories last.
Some good and some bad , some wanted some  not.
My memories like the stalled morning dew
By sunrise we know the wind never stops
So keep in your mind when you feel down low
That the wind is your heart and will continue to blow.

Oh blue eyed baby accept this ring.
Make me the happiest human being
5 years have passed and our quarrels far dwindled
But our fire still burns from the pile we kindled
10 years and 10 more; I will always adore
My blue eyed baby, forevermore

“Till death do us part”, we said long ago
Now 50 years past right out the window
My eyes start to twitch and twinkle with mime
But my love for you only grows deeper with time
As my thoughts start to dwindle and turn into chime
I’ll always remember, my blue eyed baby will always be mine

Your memories fading and hair color too
And our hearts are still red and your baby eyes blue
Grasp tight of my hand and don’t let it slip
I feel my life tripping out of its tick

The morning rays shine through the pains of our room
In our beds we await for our call to our tombs
The time is not far; it’s coming soon
But the blues eyes of yours baby will continue to bloom
Forever and ever.
I mean it
**I do.

My eyes are getting tired now
I have many words to say but dont know how
Figures dance off my lampshade
The one of you will never fade
My mind tells me its to late
My heart says no and starts to break
I'm not that man i used to be
I want to show you the real me
To show you that my love is real
Oh, that crestfallen feel

2:00 A.M. I say amen
2:01 I jumped the gun
At 2:02 I ran to you
2:03 I know it a dream
But 2:04 I was out the door.
At 2:05 I’m were you lye
2:06 it seemed all fixed
But 2:07 I want to leaven
At 2:08 I just can’t wait
Come 2:09 we say goodbye
It went all black at 2:10
Then back to 2 A.M. again.

My mind is bent with apprehension
You say it’s ended out of the blue
As your way out you forgot to mention
“I never even loved you”

So, Where do I begin, the turns never end.
Doors swing. Never Stop. The knobs don’t lock.
Unleash my thoughts to the musky air.
Just dust, you’re no longer there.

I’ve moved on to something new.
It never was me and you.
Swallow the key and forget the past.
Just keep walking and believe.
Write new thoughts that seem to last.
Nor break nor bend. This is the end.

I have so much to give and so much ahead of me but I don’t know how to use it.
How do I know what’s right with failure calling my name out to quit.
So much greed and conniving dolts of beings.
When will they awaken from their chimera?
When you can’t keep their guaranteeing  
But the only lucidity is their hysteria

How can we forget all hatred when it’s so salient?
They know nothing of adoration and eminence
Amusing  how minds think so adolescent
I’ll take the ravine ones find umbrage
And sprout through the cracks as a flower
Out through earths rusted cage
