The end
Two very sad words
They mark the conclusion
The conclusion of books
Of movies
Of shows
Of friendships
Of relationships
Of anything
The end
Two very distinct words
They mark new beginnings
Beginnings of new books
New movies
New shows
New friendships
New relationships
New anything
The end
Two words
The end

birds
have
wings unbroken
we
climb
the
mountain sides
unspoken
but
stars
sometimes
we die
when
we
fall
from
the sky

Maybe

Maybe its time to stop petitioning the sky for answers, maybe its time to stop asking god for miracles and stop blaming the devil for our own wicked deeds.  Maybe its time we pull the love freely flowing in the air around us into our lungs and share it with one another.  Breath kindness and compassion to those in need, to feed the hungery, to protect the children living without homes, to share all that we have no matter how little it may be.  Maybe its time to stop imagining a better world and start building a better world.  Maybe its time we value the blood coursing through the hearts of our daughters and sons more than the number of zeros on our paychecks.  Maybe its time to give our time and attention to the things that need our time and attention.  Maybe its time for us to craft miracles through hands holding the hammer and nails and not praying to the hands with nails through them.  Maybe its time to have faith in ourselves.  Maybe its time to stop placing the label of sin on our children before they even take their first breath.  Maybe its time to learn how to love ourselves without shame.  Maybe its time to see the sky as blue or cloudy or grey or black and not the color of our salvation.  Maybe its time we save ourselves.  Maybe its time to spread love instead of teaching hate.   Maybe its time to put the old dogs of war down and stop willingly sacrificing our children to the machine of greed and the gears of death.  Maybe its time to stop pretending peace keepers are the same thing as peace makers.  Maybe its time to realize that bombs and bullets and fear are not useful ways of achieving word harmony.  Maybe its time to stop praying for better and to start doing better.  Maybe we can start today because maybe tomorrow will be to late...

Alex's Pipe Dreams
The noise stops
The sky is clear
Once again
Your hand drops
To my hair
Your mouth is near
But there's no sound
Your eyes, they speak
But I hear silence
All around
I'm not weak
But without you
I lose ground
Your presence
Brings peace
Don't care for much
But you I'd miss
Your lips on mine
No better touch
C'mon ******
I'm in a rush
The noises start
Our lips part
My mind won't stop
Your hands drop
I didn't say no
But you back off
You already know
If we go too fast
You'll move slow
Our love will last
Give it time to grow

My love is just a fad
one day it’s going to go bad.

My heart is just a coffin
everything inside is rotten.

My lips are just an echo
You can’t hold on so let go.
