Sandman Jul 2018
Walking out on open water.
Where I am going I ask my self.
These shattered dreams
sewn through my soul like needle and thread.
A figment of the unknown.
Aware in all directions.
Life is in a rain drop falling from the tips of a sacred tree.
And you and me, we would dance in the rain.
Years flowing by and time after time we would get older and older.
Fall
into the stars.
Open up your heart and see the universe within.
So many colors in the sky.
Somewhere vivid cuts the light.
Beauty leaks from shattered points.
I do not know where I am going but in this place I know I am safe.
Sandman Nov 2015
With every question there comes an answer. And with every answer there comes a question. It is a balance of question and answer. With every cause there is an effect. And with every effect there is a cause. The universe works in a manner of question and answer, cause and effect. Not opinions, not judgement's, not yes or no but cause and effect. There is no light. There is no dark. There is only what you perceive in your mind. Things are just dense feelings with labels. People are just like ants in the darkness . Searching for something. That something they do not know.
Sandman May 2018
We are all imortal gods of Earth.
Brewn from the great conscieness.
Woven through matter.
Wholesome laughter echoes among hidden forests.
Concealed within us is a vibrating boisterous light that defines the proximity of the universe.
Collapse into a million pieces and the children of tomorrow would look up into the night and wish upon scattered remnants.
Love is the universal language of consciousness.
Sandman Apr 2015
Water falls and exuberant mossy hills rise and fall across the horizon. Grey and purple have toned the sky. A smoky fog hangs in the air and all is still. Peace.Peace.Peace. Stars are enlightened by the dark dusk coming upon them . Each star containing a electrifying  glow illuminating the somber sky. The sky now is crawling with a chill and the sun that once beat down on you is now silent and still, caressing the sky with tones of darkness. Darker and darker and darker the sky becomes. Somber waves of the near by ocean calms your mind.
Dandelion flowers and purple tulips fill the fields. The somber night has gone and now morning has arrived.
Sandman Oct 2017
The space between the note is a curious reckoning that flows through the vains in my fingers. A symphony in my head. Silence is the beauty of a song. With every choice there comes more choices. In every silence between the notes theres is the moment of eternal silence and the ability to choose.
Sandman Nov 2017
You fall into the worping ground and you melt right through into the other end.
Traveling back in time.
Free falling, you are hurtling with a back clenching force; space time pushing against you.
Shoving you into the never ending abyss.
Intense ringing vibrations are echoed through the tube pressing against the prismic walls bending and warping it to its control.
You hit the bottom.
Time stops.
You never existed.
Sandman Feb 2018
My porcelain body crashes.
Light explodes for infinity.
Silently expanding on the dust of the revolving universe.
Vibrating against time.
Golden light specks charge the black void, powering stars and planets.
A blue flame blooms across the universe.
I am
falling off my feet
into another world
one that goes beyond
me
beyond
you.
In the silence of the night the wolves of the cosmos howl like stampeding thunder.
Sandman Apr 2016
Why do we live? We live for tomorrow. We live our presence so we can  live our future. It seems like we are always waiting for a certain day to come and we wait and we wait and we wait. But in the time we wait we never take the time to enjoy all of the moments that life bears upon us . Life is,by far,way too short to only appreciate a few moments worth of contentment. Even if we were to live more than once we would never be the same.


In my mortal presence I walk from time to time carrying only the frames that life gave me as gift. In her existence I can only assume that I am alone. These frame. This book. Pages will fall from the book then will be burned to ashes. Ashes that are dryer than flour. Resting in my hands now waiting to be blown. Blown across the universe. Stardust. Stardust. Stardust.
Sandman May 2015
Outside there's a fun world. That's what everyone says. But outside you never what you could find. From mountains to muddy puddles to grassy filled meadows. You never know whats out there. Maybe there's a man giving away a million dollars for free or maybe there's a parade just up your street. And in all of you darkest days you thought just how fun everyone else was having and how you weren't having any fun at all. All you had to do is step outside take a deep breath and walk up your driveway turn what ever way you want continue going and going and going till STOP.No Its not a stop sign, I said stop because maybe you might stop and find something just wonderful. Something wonderful that you never knew about that existed just up the block.
I wrote this poem because i had discovered a really cool forest just up my neighborhood road and i have lived at my house for 12 years. PS and i'm still 12.
Sandman Apr 2015
Thrashing and ripping at you and twisting your stomach muscles. That's what stress does. No blue sky's today but a instead a sky of fire and death.A thrashing rapid build up of staggering cacaos. Scream inside but no one will hear. Red in the cheeks and blue inside, muscles ripped and heart upside down. What a maleficent thing stress does. So staggering and
yet it crushes you slowly with somber waves of gloom and doom.
Sandman May 2015
Hot sun in the blue sky. Green grass yard. Sticky Popsicle's and ice cream dripping down your cheek. Boysenberry's and red as an apple maraschino cherry's. Its just so wonderful. Brightly colored birds. The stinging of the summer breeze. Always so agile summer is always fragile in its existence. Trees that looked like they had been painted with light. A fire so energizing that it made you laugh. Summer is like a doctor with a degree in beauty and relaxation!

Sandman Jul 2015
Boiling air, sticky faces, raindrops falling down my face.
Walking into the great vat of sticky steamy steam like a hot hot dog prepared to die!!!!!!!
Sandman Dec 2017
Faces stuck like sticky notes to my face.
Tear drops falling off of my dry iris.
Layers shedding like peeling deseased skin.
Memories washed and chopped.
Boiled and broiled.
I while the world goes deaf cry at the bay of my mind.
A sensation of awkward emptyness collects inside me.
The wind blows around inside of me like a wirl pool.
Spiraling upward and out my mouth.  
I am hallow shell on the bay of my mind watching the never ending sunrise
Just letting everyone know that this poem is about depression though I don't have depression. I wrote the poem based on how I feel when I am really sad.
Sandman Apr 2015
Scruffy hair and a broad blue face. Saddened eyes and a confused mind. Shallow whispers and chest pains. Those rivers are now flowing on his face taking away his spirit. Tear drops they are. One by one here they come, running away with his spirit. Here they come one by one, softening his face. They chose him first but I do indeed believe that your next. Run and hide but they'll always find you and they'll stick to you till you tear them off. And when tear them off, off with it will come part of you.
sadness
Sandman Oct 2021
A falling tear in my dream
Tells me she's not real
Another tenant for my waking thoughts

A perfect snapshot of her smile
Lost in a twinkle of time

Spilled dreams washed up shore
Sandman Jul 2015
Ten cranes-flies land on thin water, one inch thick. Nine birds flutter in the glistening sun. Eight flowers sit silent and still reflecting the sun and adsorbing water drops from the trees above their heads. Seven trees sway this way and that way. Dripping here and dripping there, dripping every where. Dew drops here dew drops there. Dew drops every where. Six children singing songs. Five squirrels dancing from tree to tree. Four booming laughs from deep inside me. Three golden memory's burned into my mind. Two eyes glistening like stars. One soul quiet and still. Somber and chill. Zero distress and no more mess.
Sandman Jul 2018
Feathery wind blows my hair.
Golden dust collecting at my feet.
Sunlight breaking through at the brink of dawn.
An awesome collusion of colors in the sky.
Ashes free falling all over me.                  
Explosive hearing damage.
I hold my breath and close my eyes.
Fading out into the stars.
Warm water filling up my lungs.
I'm waking up on a beach with you.
There is no time.
Our mortal bodys rest trapped in a car buried in the ocean.
We are infinity.
We are bound to nobody or nothing.
Day after day.
The endless sunrise.
Sandman Sep 2018
Every now and then
A thought
Interludes
Inside of us.
Lingering orchestral emotions stranded on the deaf note of darkness.
All this in the final exhale.
Sandman Jun 2018
Field of vision blocked.
Spaceship halo rays for us.
Slip into the sky.
Sandman Nov 2015
I am a time traveling being. A substance of the infinite universe. A multi-dimensional being. A vibration or light, time and space. I see through infinite eyes. With infinite possibilities. All the colors in the universe come together to create something beautiful. I am a creator of what ever I imagine. I am in the matrix so whatever I imagine I can create. Things are just projections of the mind after all.
Sandman Dec 2017
We rustle black leaves with the trot of our feet. Our fleeting feet stumbling against the exhale of death.
We tripped.
We fell.
And all was swell.
Right before our last inhale.
Then we went pale.
Sandman May 2016
We are only but a tiny speck in the infinite cloud of the universe. What if the universe was inside you and that every subatomic particle ever created had its own universe. There is only so far you can go in the third dimension. What if we were to travel to a place where nobody has ever gone to. The zeroth dimension. Hence the absence of everything. The void. A place where we could just be and not have things to distract us from whom we are made of which is just pure universe. Thus in the  third dimension we are always in a system that is based off of  right, wrong, good, bad, is there a god and is there not. If we were to enter the zeroth dimension we would let go of time and all that shackles us from becoming the universe. Because there is no universe, it does not exist. Only universes within every single subatomic particles exist.  Free from this place were pain and opinion are its roots that thread like the intersections of quilts from old sailors boats. When you let go of everything that tethers you down you began to realize why you are here. We have all been told that the reason why we are here is to survive. To make money. But is that why we are alive? Are we so busy working on surviving that we can never understand why we are here and why we are doing what we are doing. They say that the meaning of life is by far the most complex ideology that will ever exist and that even the deepest thinking philosophers can not determine why we are here and what is the meaning of it all. I think I have the answer to it all. For why we are here. We are here, not to make ends meet and to survive. We are here to be. Just to simply be. To unteather ourselves from this third dimension and to become one with the universe.
I was inspired by Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey.
Sandman Nov 2017
You can count your steps one at a time
I'll keep track
Stack up the unforgivable memorys
Forget all the things I said
It doesn't matter anymore

I locked your heart outside in the
snow
For the wolves to feast on
For them to turn the snow red

King for queen
It doesn't matter because in the end
We'll all be dead
But I'll be the one digging your grave

This is the darkness that never ends
The unforgivable memorys that lay stacked on your grave

Something in me crys for you
But you don't answer
Now the wolves are hungry and I've locked myself out
Sandman Jan 2018
We are here in this time
Not that time
Nor any other time
But this time

Some where vivid in my dreams
Is a clock
Set for ever

When I wake up I will not know of
Time
Space
And my dreams

But only of you
Sandman Oct 2015
I'll live every day like it's my last day because I never know I might be dead tomorrow. I'll have all the fun I possibly can. I'll forgive my enemies and enlighten my friends. I'll mend all of the tears in my life so if I die tomorrow I don't die unmended.
Sandman Jan 2016
Long have we forgotton how to feel.
To look into natural eyes.
Long have we forgotten that there so exists a real touch.
All the while the world fades away.
A call, a text, an electronic message to distract you from a simple touch.
A hug.
A kiss.
A feeling to assure you that you exist.
Sandman Sep 2018
Down inside of me something untouchable preludes my grace.
Leaves falling down like Chopin's Nocturne op.9 No. 2.
Through the looking glass a sail boat touches your watery eyes.
Standing by you.
Life is in the vine.
Hues of darkness against the light.
A thousand lifetimes in the flash of your smile.
Swan flight in the open field.
Breathe in and breathe out.
The softness your smile against the cold ice of death.
How does beauty and grace carry on even after death.
Up above in the clouds,
floating down down a creek
till the tree of knowledge is reached.
The tree of all life.
That which yields the ability to choose.
Sandman Jun 2018
Twenty four seven.
Bling.
Clock stops.
Phone rings.
I got space cadets dropping like bombs.
Certain smells bring back memories.
Bling bling bling.
Ca-ching ca-ching ca-ching.
Money.
Dollar bills bleeding out of me.
I got a criminal mind.
I never see behind.
I only look ahead.
And I can't remember what I even said.
It seems to me that I'm just heading forward into the future.
Everybody around me stops the clocks as their mind rock on the fine line between fantasy time and reality.
Time goes back.
And the phone rings.
The world goes black.
And I go back to the start.
Twenty four seven.
This is a poem about a guy who is into crime but can not remember anything at all. He thinks that he is moving forward but he is not. The week resets itself so that he is in a never ending loop of crime but unaware.
Sandman Oct 2017
Alone.
In a pick up truck.
Isolated from every one that matters to him.
Parked outside of a Chevron station.
Alchol is strong it becomes part of him.
Family members cutting him off.
Hope is only there in my mom.
She is the last hope.
My mom did realize how bad he had been suffering.
My mom was everything to my uncle.
Crying and screaming my mom found that Uncle Mattie was found dead in his truck.
The power of love is strong, it will never die. When you are committed to someone you could be there last hope.
My mom was everything to Uncle Mattie.
RIP Uncle Mattie.

Please send love and light to Uncle Matt and to my mom.

My mom kept my uncle alive for the longest time by giving love.
Sandman Dec 2017
Shape the world
don't let the world shape you.
Us
Sandman Feb 2018
Us
We are the stars.
The dust of the cosmos.
Our thoughts are the immortal children of a never ending time.
While we burn out like strands of christmas lights our light travels on for infinity reaching (but never touching) the outskirts of the universe.
Sandman Jul 2018
Close your eyes.
Let your body relax.
Let every tissue, muscle and fiber dilate into the clouds.
Collapse into dust, into the other world, break out from this planet.
Reach out.
Way out there in the middle of nowhere, where nothing even exists, where you will soak in a cosmic bath of star waves.
Where you can drift on cosmic waves of energy then slowly dilate into a more vivid world.
Sandman Nov 2017
Wake me up with your words.
Remind me that I'm still alive.
I woke from this hurricane.

I've been alone for a long time.
I feel I've been through a battle.
All my loose strings dangle cut.

I'm stuck in my head.
Feeling through my feet.
I can touch the wind;
Smell the nectar of the air.

Wake me up.
Don't let me sleep.
I know that there's hope;
I can feel it stuck in my throat.

I'm battered and smashed and I look like I've escaped a car crash.


Tell me you love me.
Tell me you care about me.
Tell me that I am not dead.


I'll go on and on
And on and on
And on till my days end if you
Wake me up.
Sandman Oct 2018
Up above.
Church bells that vibrate with resonance.
Down below.
The solid earth that grapples with the fear of an apocalypse.
Grass that grips and pulls.
Luminous moonlight from my distant dreams pooling from my pores.
This over growth is my home.
Down by the creek,
you'll find me if I am what you seek.
Turning water into wine.
When I close my eyes I know that there is no difference between this land and me.
Break the darkness.
Break the veil.
The green ones with their seeking limbs, filling up the air, filling up the forest deep.
The leaves and twigs that collect in the drifting yellow suns.
As the deer stood high on the cliff a delicate rain of golden tears shed light on solemn hidden faces.
Seeking light on this path of mine.
Dangling dark vines that swing like pendulums collecting lost souls.
Those that do not make it through left to perish,
left to die.
In tomorrow they restart.
High fidelity voices that press insecurity into them like fists in dough.
Repeat.
Repeat.
The voices in their heads.
They're slippin',
trippin'.
Shaking their heads trying settle down the storm of razor blades within.
There is no return from this far off tear filled island.
All that we see.
All that we are
is wandering souls lost in time.
First draft of spoken word poem
Sandman Oct 2017
A bomb is born into the sky
Its mother a fighter jet.
Like a falling anvil the bomb rushs towards earth. It is excited to touch dirt.
Tanks are rolled out.
Guns straped to backs.
The iron clad diseal engine of the tank is deafening.
The sound of a gun.
Pow!
Pow!!
Pow!!!
Gut wrenching is the clicking sounds of the heavy iron guns.
Death is watching everyone.
He is waiting.
Watching
the every move.
The bomb hits the ground and death is there looking around in the ruble for any souls who have separated from their body.
A wave of air destroys every thing in its circualar path like a leaf blower.
From the outer radius of the bomb explosion the heat and force are slathered upon everything and everyone like honey barbique sauce.
And death stands in the field like a lone stag looking up to the above.
Sandman Oct 2017
There is a land where no man stands

A waste land.

Understand the carnations and tulips do not spread their wings.

And the crows and the ravens do not sing.

The dark sky above is looming.
Its mere mortal presence is listening
to everything.


Even the dead.


Faces are etched into stone

Away.

Sand of stone.

The wind bellows and blows

Sands into the waste lands.
Sandman Mar 2018
Plastic water dripping all over me.
You scream at me and all I do is scream inside.
I collect everything.
Sculpt it.
Shape it.
Make it.
Solidifying while I'm crying.
Sticky gooey insanity contracts me into a wax sculpture.
You just watch me.
Collect my thoughts.
Watch me melt as I burn down like a forest on fire.
Sandman Nov 2018
Death came down from the clouds.
So quietly.
So very softly.
He landed like a dragonfly on a flower.

Death is all of us.
Is in all of us.

I cried by your side as your breath blew away.
So now I'll wait for what feels like an eternity to be back with you.

The more I push away Death the harder he pushes back.
In the end we all die.

We all fall victim to the unavoidable.
Death is already here just look in the mirror.

We are Death.
We are the thing we fear.
We are what we strive not to be.
We are death.

Inescapable.
Undeniable.
Real.
Death.
RIP Smudge. My sweet kitten Smudge passed today from FIP.
Sandman Feb 2016
When great minds collide, great things happen.
We are told that we are divided and separated and that we are not one.
That we are floating in the void like a leaf falling from a great big leaf maple tree.
When really we are not alone. We have other people to help us. We have friends all around us. Friends to make change. If we could gather all the minds in the universe and put them together we could create anything we  want. We is one. We is unity. Peace. Bliss. Freedom. Oneness.
Sandman Oct 2017
Love.
What is it?
Love is unknown.
Love is powerful.
Love is the solvent
Hate is the solute
Together they create the ultimate  solution.
Love in the end will succeed.
Hate will perish.
Why is something beautiful?
Close your eyes.
Picture a white flower.
Imagine the flower now in a void of nothing.
Now embrace this.
Let the flower become part of you;
Part of your mind,
Your spirit.
Sandman Jun 2018
When you come up too fast and your breath leaves you.
Your mind spins round.
Sirens flooding out white noise.
Nothing really matters as you trip over yourself.
Majestic space collecting itself.
Back to the never ending repeat beat.
Eight track dusty film reeled up in my head.
Electric jolt, slap my face.
Reality cracks and the clocks going back.
Little bites at a time.
Time.
Free fallin'
Never stopin'.
All the way,
full throttle into the great white nothing.
Into the era of no escape.
Sandman Nov 2017
Today I woke up with the smell of snow cast upon my senses.
A cold grey shadow stretched like a quilt across the inside of my house.

Snow falling like wet feathers.
The intake of silence echos across the white glittering crystal blanket that is perfectly scattered hither and thither across my endless horizon.

I step outside to helplessly embrace the winter air. It fills me up like a tree in the summer filling up with water.
Snow drops dew upon my delicate eyelids.

While I inhale the snow exhales and together we work as one unit reckoning the perfect balance of the natural world as we know it.
I woke up this morning and it was snowing

I was inspired by Bon Iver
Sandman Nov 2017
A angry fire rages on in the corners of my black pupils yeilding it into reflections that shimmer light upon old coffee colored paper like a light house.
My old hands, cracked, and withered like an old crispy flower lay upon my tan paper, vibrations consume my hands.
There in my head is a river called creativity and it is where I get my power.
In the dead of dawn there glows a  golden ray of sun filling my sweat beads lodged between the wrinkles on my face.
My pen is alive as I am too.
I do not write.
My pen does
And the universe tells it what to do.

— The End —
