As I lye on the pier
At the end of Key West

I look at the stars
and think about life

As dark as it is
The sky is so bright

A trillion miles away
And we still see the light

How can this be I often wonder
Is there other life
or is it our God of thunder

What ever it is
It's filled with miracle's

Miracle's of matter
Miracle's of life

Most people don’t notice
As I’m sinking down
Some say “Cheer up!”
Wow! I’m all better now

Thanks for the help
I’m glad you were here
I’m no longer sad
You've filled me with cheer

Is that what they think?
That’s all that it takes?
They tell me “cheer up”
And my heart no longer aches?

I wish it were that simple
A magical cure
Everything is better
After hearing those two words

But really nothing’s better
If just proves that you don’t understand
You've always stood on solid ground
But I’m sinking in quicksand

Now I’m sinking faster
Your words cut to the bone
I know it wasn't your intent
But you made me feel more alone

You say “cheer up”
Why didn't I think of that?
I guess you think
I want to feel this bad

Or else you think I’m stupid
Why else would I be so sad?
If being happy were so easy
Wouldn't everyone be glad?

So next time please think
Before you say “cheer up”
If someone’s already sad
It could make them just give up

We are the broken ones
With wounded hearts
And corrupted lungs
But Our Battle scars
They don't define us
We define us
I define me

that’s why I hate to see you feeling weak.
I know a lot more than they do
and for that they don’t have the right to judge you.
I hate all the people who underestimated your capabilities
because all that they’re saying is pure of insecurities.
You are the best guy that I’ve met
and I promise I will never forget.
Even if they don’t understand you
the hell I care, cause I don’t want to lose you.
You can do more than you think
just remember that I’m proud of whatever you pick.
You are braver than you see
Stronger than you seems
Smarter than you could imagine.
I hope you could have seen.

Where reverent suns are red,
I inhale a golden sun and hold the moon,
Floating in a cosmic centered bath

Dancing in ablaze of space,
Communing with sentient splitting stars
naked I have roamed among
ravenous red fire flowers in bloom,
lips, juicy sweet ardent wet fervours

Earth spinning, my dance be illusion,
To his kisses I forever weaved magenta trees,
Breathing earth’s day of vermillion,
Chasing samsaric robes, torn in
confusion, I grasp egolessness,
How I flickered black and white to and fro

The immortal swordless in his arms,
the awakened watcher in sky robes,
Yearning for star fields,
yet poisoned by the darkest snake,
Whispering, whispering,
his hallow raptures of

“Love”

Do you ever close your eyes
and your mind starts to race

You try to make it stop
But it's no where in sight

So we try change thoughts
But it stuck in one gear

That train of thought
Of something you fear

We clinch our eyes
To make it stop

We have no luck
It's stuck in our thoughts

We try to sleep
But it's just to deep

We think about love
But have no luck

This racing mind
It drives me crazy

Until the problem solved
It stays in my head
