Minds change, children age,
As we wait for the right moment,
Worlds burn, faces turn,
As we wait for the right moment,
That which was green and flourishing,
Turns brown and sickening,
As we wait for the right moment,
What was previously a vision becomes dull,
As we wait for the right moment,
Ideas die, they all forget,
As we wait for the right moment,
The words once spoke,
Are no longer known,
As we wait for the right moment,
The orderly become chaotic,
As we wait for the right moment,
With irrational resistance,
Friendships come to end,
As we wait for the right moment,
Lovers break apart,
With a simple change of heart,
As we wait for the right moment

Our Connection

Our Connection

The connection didn't come,

from those times we played guitar,
in my room, as i could appreciate your beauty like never before,
and be with your soul through the music,

because that was just a medium

The connection didn't come

from when i heard you recite the lines from Shakespeare,
with such a passion i had not felt since i spoke it myself,
i could feel your meaning,

but that was just a medium

The connection didn't come

from when we sang together
about that American Pie,
and i could understand

because that was just a medium

The connection came from you
The connection came from me
from us

from us we could feel
the music,
the meaning,
the beauty,
the song behind it all for us

Alternative Peoples

Alternative Peoples

They were THOSE people.
those people with their rolled up button-down shirts and blue jeans,
who wore leather lace up shoes that were
too casual for dressy,
but too dressy for casual.
they were those people who referenced music that was
too obscure to be mainstream,
but too mainstream to be obscure.

They were alternative society

It was those peoples,
who thought themselves unlimited in their box of elitism.

They may have been the foam atop the espresso,
but they never could taste the drink.
