A walking zombie in the day
an awakened dead at night
not feeling anything that you say
no need to show me that you're right
as the moonlight shimmers on the bay
my veins burst out in my eyes
ain't no roses down my way
where a restless ocean lies
unchartered waters lay
hailing men that dive and die
above the surface might seem okay
what's underneath may terrify

letting the alarm ring out to the full
lost within a dreams rule
sounds of the world drowned out
dreading a hangover of doubt
a wake of being drunk alone
all b-b-b-bad to the bone
peace in the darkness of nights
fearing clear daylight
dissipating on the outside
seeping out from the inside
extravasating
then evaporating

every time that you came
and every place possible
has never been the same
'cause you're another animal
an entirely different game

at times yu're so wild
other times mildly tame
always a different mood
it's visible in yur frame
or is that how it's viewed

I can tell it 'n yur eyes
before a spoken word
how real you are es nice
not a fantasy that's blurred

still yu're like roll'ng dice
we're a theatre of absurd
me and all yur sides
hardly know'ng all yur worlds
or how they coincide

the afternoon sun shatters in through the leaves
shards streak the stucco shaded by the eaves
crashing on the steps at the tall open door
on the cool concrete floor her cheeks take a seat
long legs folding, rays kissing her feet
bare skin draped a divine golden hue
one arm 'cross the waist covering a breast,
the other hand under curls caressing her neck
as her mellow glance greets the shadows on the ground
soft sadness lips that dissolve at the soul
long straight nose to dark brooding eyes
lost in the moment she's right there to hold
wanting for strength that comforts her cause
yet how cruel life's timing unfolds
dull ache beating to the seconds of her pause

Mud
In my dreams
I see other sides
To the world we live
Filtered in the lids of my eyes

In those dreams
We're caked in mud hardened by time
As we crawl the land
Like we're strong and fine
But we're brittle like castles of sand

I dream that we saw each other
Our true state and not the lies
And we broke that outer crust
Scooped it out of our eyes
Shedding layers of dried mud
chipping it from our thighs
cracking like dried blood
dropping the rotting guise

I dream that we stood exposed
just skin and bones
Tender and bruised
raw in smooth softness
the water our thirsts embraced

But as my dream continued
the rising sun reddens
as it burns we're separated
the outer crud resurfaces
Into that world we're refabricated
re-skinned by the mud that hardens
in my dream we're ill fated

I would welcome you into my solitude
If you didn't steal its magnitude

it's loneliness and misery
self-imposed solitude
in detox from gaiety
living my darkest mood
unleashing my angry self
in honesty all ****
subsisting in depression
hitting the hopeless bottom
being forgotten
by any I've known
being unforgiven
by any I've wronged

then
to draw her wondrous eyes
from the only face I see
letting myself rise
floating in our ecstasy
and to let the drawing burn
just to do it over again
if she asks me how much
if she asks me my plan

it's loneliness and misery
self-imposed solitude
...
