Your back
Aganist my back

Your hands are waiting
To clasp mine

Light eyes meeting mine

They say you're the stars
All you do is burn my heart
Trying to come inside

Multiple times
I said stop

Every time
I'm out
You're already waiting for me

I'm in distress
Never get a moment alone

You hear every word I say

They say you're sunshine
But you keeping burning up my skin

Am I doing the same
Does your heart go insane
Whenever I'm around

Do you feel dizzy
At the sound of my voice

You're making a fire
I'm trying to put it out

What have you done?
Nothing at all
Sitting here, as the time
Passes; as a candle
Flickering
Out.

What will you do?
Well at four in the morning
There is not a lot.
Except the cold
And the enclosing
Dark.

Why did you do this?
Well can that be said?
Honestly, and bluntly,
Straight out would the
Answer stick?

It would become lodged.
Because words unravel mysterious
And mean nothing all at the same time.

Who am I?
What a pertentious question to ask.
You have no right to ask,
Nor mind to conceive it.

What am I meant for?
Well to live and to die.
Make an impact on someones life,
Good or bad, time has no universal code.

What am I doing?
Looking for an answer
To a question I have about people,
And also about me.

Should you lean upon a crutch?
What if you are a crutch yourself?
What if someone took you away?
What if you merely were a crutch to a table?
How awful really.

But what is the matter? You've found it!
A place for yourself.
You see, you do not matter.
A crutch, a dime a dozen so cheap.

That is what you get from lack of sleep I guess, and lack of meaning I guess, and lack of health I guess.
A crutch that wanders, looking for what it means to be independent or leaned on, and if it is truly a curse or a blessing.

How silly is this anaology?
I think it is downright clear.
But I am a rambling madman
With an end soon near.

As soon I will be gone, this consious shed.
I will wake up this morning, tired in bed.
I will reach my hands and feel a change.
I will no longer feel; it is quite strange.

And I wish I could say I did resist,
But I did not.
For the immoral base upon my kingdom,
Is founded upon my thoughts
And actions of sin.

I laugh and I laugh and I laugh.
How little will do I have?
I am just a piece of dust,
Moved by the slightest wind
Of dismay.

From The Cradle to the Grave
Through life we are a slave
Through Life we misbehave
Through life we are brave
From the Cradle to the Grave

From The Cradle to the Grave
In life who can we save
In life we all gave
In life we all crave
From the Cradle to the Grave

From The Cradle To The Grave
There Is Hope along the way
Hope for you and me and for us to see
From the Cradle to the Grave

A part of me
wants you
while the other part
rejects you
a part of me
is stuck on you
while the other part
has finally let go
What part should I trust?
What part suits me more?
Maybe I'll keep you
somewhere in my uncouscious mind

And that is all I see
or hear:
your blonde hair
in the dark,
your words,
"Can I kiss you again?"

And then it's your hand
on my cheek,
my skin.
In my head,
the thoughts of
my mother's disappointment.

And now I am afraid
just to send a text
because you like her.
I am only hopeless.
You are the only thing
revolving my brain.

Winter came
As night stood still
Bringing with it
A bitter chill

Limbs stripped naked
Of summers soft green
By autumn winds
Strong and mean

In pale meadow grasses
Life does creep
Preparing for
A winter’s sleep.

Solstice moon rises
In a dark starry sky
As the final autumn day
Blows silently by
Can I share your Christmas
Mine’s been ****** away
Too busy closing out my job
To have much time to play

No Christmas tree, no mistletoe
No wreath on my front door
No strings of lights across the roof
No “spirit” any more

I promise not to hog your joy
And I will not intrude
I only want to steal a taste
Of all your special day includes

A whiff of loving happiness
And reverence for the season
I want to feel some holiday
And that’s my only reason

So if you’ll let me have a bite
Of what your Christmas means
I’ll be forever in your debt
For sharing happy scenes.
