Your future is in your hands
Let it not slip into others'

there are different types of crying
each of us has at least one or two
and from my point of view
the most used is the one without tears,
when the soul cries loud and everything in the body hurts.
and there is another one that goes hand in hand with rain
you're between droplets, crying and nobody can see the tears.

Come ******* lips
I want to enter your heart like a diver
I want to pierce your soul like a stare
I want to inject myself into your life like an exclamation
And linger there like the first kiss offered by a lover.
I want to impose on you like a beloved grandmother
And tease you like an incessant itch
(The more you scratch,
The more of your thoughts I’ll inhabit)

I want to love you like a metaphor
Building in your mind to a climatic epiphany
A realization that all my words are symbols
Of unspoken dreams of you.

Love is like a snow globe

    At first we shake it vigorously, charmed to watch it sparkle

In time, delighted to watch it settle

    And with luck, the desire to take it firmly in both hands

        To set adrift once more the motes of passion

Here I am loving you
Loving every imperfect aspect of you
Your eyes may not be the brightest
Your smile may not be the sweetest
Your hair may not be the darkest
But that is what makes them perfect
I found love within the depths of your imperfections
And one by one I have seen the beauty in them                            
That's how I love you                    
To love you at your most broken state
To appreciate you when no one else does      
And to desire you despite all the brokenness and cracked parts

I don't get bigotry, never have.

I don't get born again Christians,
Weren't they born once already?
I don't get do nothing Tea Party Republicans,
Who as it turns out are mostly the same
Born Again people.

I don't get any fake *** politicians,
They aren't people they're a product.
Manufactured and packaged to please
the tastes of the gullible public.

I don't get why super rich people would
want to go to Washington and take
(For them) a low paying job in Congress
and then sit on their hands and do nothing?
With their money they could go buy a lush
Island in the sun and lay about and really
do nothing while drinking a ice cold beer.
Which sounds like lots more fun.  

I don't get bad wars fought for bad reasons.

I don't get people that **** other people
of the same religion for no discernible reason.
While yelling "God Is Good or Great!" or what ever.
I don't get why they'd think "God" would even
appreciate that.

But then, I don't get people that **** people.
Or insanity, religious insanity is even worse.

I don't get still using oil to power things
while we know **** well there are good
viable alternatives.

I don't get the rabid Right To Lifers,
who want to dictate to all woman
their "One And Only Solution".

I guess I don't get why
People tell you they love you,
Then later change their minds.

I don't get kids killing kids
on school yards with guns.
Or the fools that do not lock
up their guns that their kids
find and use to **** other kids
on school yards.

I don't get why so many people
want things to stand still,
just because they can't keep up.

I don't get those folks that swear
that global warming is not a reality,
while every day the oceans rise
a little more.

I don't get why we little people let the
one per centers run our country and lives.

I don't get why we allow Big Business
to out source millions of jobs to other lands
when people here at home are unemployed.

I get "Humanitarian Aid" but why do we send
billions of dollars to countries that hate us?

I don't get why we need a dozen TV channels
of 24 hour news, (Some of which distort the truth
to fit their political leanings) news repeated and
repeated until we are scared and numb and
don't know truth from pure old *******.

I don't get where honest "News Men" like
Mr. Cronkite and his breed, guys that made
sure of their facts and would only dispense
the truth, went and why there are no more
of them?

I don't get why Bush and Cheney are not
in the slammer for their many lies and
outright Treason! Starting wars that never
end and shouting WMDs when none existed.

The simple answer to all this,
"these things that I do not get", is,
"It's all ******* and It's Bad For Ya' ."

At the point of no return
at the place I need to be
don't you dare forgive me
I need all the dark honours I can get

Jumping through the gap
passing all the clocks
all the way
to my other lands

I close the doors after me
I must not be followed
I might not be coming back
so please just forget me

Soon I will hit the city
come crashing down on my capitol
if my entrance wakes the last
I mean to be swift and fast

War is just one sick game
and my flight is into Hell
battle harden machine of war am I
so think hard and just forget about me

Hello little girl.
It's me again,
The monster in your head.
It's been awhile,
Since I've paid you a visit.
The presents I left on your arms,
Have long since faded.
Pretty little girl,
Don't you know?
You can't escape this.
You gave me your soul,
You signed the deed on your wrist.

Silence is the sound of wisdom
And as the wind died down
And nature slept
I listened
Silence spoke

Do not mistake the
verbose for intelligent
and do not be quick
to break the quietness.
For quiet often
what is missed
is that which lies
between the noises.

And I was quick
To apologize to Silence
Telling it
*You're all to often
Mistaken as awkward
