Alone

unnamed
alone I walk the streets at night,
alone I pray to end this life,
alone I am, alone I stay,
alone I live, in endless strife,

alone I eat, alone I sleep,
alone I live, alone I dream,
alone I walk, alone I run,
alone I cry, alone I scream,

alone, the hole in which I lay,
alone I am, no love to send,
alone is home, alone is all,
alone I am

The Room


The room is burnt down, the music not playing 
too sets of charred bones with ashes are laying
The alarms were all pulled weeks in advance
the fire department never had a chance
They had been called before, to save that room
but the only threats they found were candles abloom
So they'd put up the hose meant for a fictional flame
saying when help doesn't show you'll be to blame. 
The too would laugh and pay them no mind
turn up the music and had a good time
They thought they were saved and all was alright
little did they know the end was in sight.
 
Looking down at it now, to the room all in pieces
you can tell the advice needed, failed to be heeded
Take solace in this, that the last dance that they shared
Was with someone for which they truly cared.
 
The too who were one, when they were living
now rest in a place that I'm told is forgiving
Trees will root and grass will grow
what happened there only too will know
Maybe someday a bench with names inscribed
will be placed on the spot where the both of them died
But until that day the one will be two
destined to search for one who is true.

Ady
Deter my mind of thoughts of you,
expedite the process of reproaching;
before sick in love my sacrifice I promise.
Tell the chilly incessant buds of hate-
to blossom in the land of crimson.
Beg the merciless Son of Venus;
to withdraw his embedded arrow.
Deter my eyes from the sights of you,
truncate the weeds in the walls of my garden;
before all is covered in the ivy caresses of your burden.
Tell the sun to draw its blinds-
to darken the places in which you shine.
Beg the doctor for a poison;
to desecrate the altar in which I find you.
Oh, for me, I pray
Do not stray to the impious mischief that can be-
your compelling ushering of passion.

your beautiful
for so many different reasons
no words can describe your beauty
but still i'll try to show you a part of it

when i look at you
i see your eyes sparkle in the night
your smile
is purely a gateway to my heaven
your laughter brings so much peace and joy to mind
joy - your name says it all

your arms sccream love
your heartbeat i long for next to mine
your a JOY to be around
and i want you to be mine

your so funny and cute
you basicly define perfection
your voice is magical
and you
yes you
only you
makes me want to a better person

i have only met you once
but it already seems like a lifetime
stay who you are
and dont change
ever
because your perfect in my eyes

Languid
restless
I don’t even know anymore

I don’t have anything to say
nothing real
nothing fictional

Plagued today
a lack of passion
no inspiration to be had

stuck in vapid complacency
I haven’t chosen
not to feel

Anything at this given moment
would be salvation
from banal doldrum

I’ve slipped
fell
into pacificity
Observer at best
always just a passing wayfarer
part of the scenery

running a facade
a mask of my own image
sure I see myself in the mirror

but Who
Is
That?



Trapped
by the singular perspective
that is consciousness

I have no idea
what anyone feels
What another’s notion of me is

other than myself
and even then
I’m not so sure.

Does anyone
ever give me
a thought?

Who am I?
an Artist
a poet
a hiker
a biker
a walker at night

a friend
a son
a brother

An acquaintance
that guy
hey you

a fool
a loser
lost  

selfish
lonely
insecure

Maybe?
but who defines me
myself or others


Does it even matter
what I think
if I’m really not the judge

but then again
how will anyone see
what I am if I don’t know

Is there even
a place
for me?

Where am I going?
what am I doing?
Will I ever make a difference?

Will I ever carve a niche?
will I ever be remembered?
will anyone ever think of me?

Who will think of me?
how will they define me?
who knows?

I sure as hell don’t.

We watched the sun rise
painting rainbow streets
in the color of surprise
Some day
nothing will happen
nothing to say
No hate towards each other

Some day
nothing will happen
And we will be free
to do what ever we want

Hand in hand
See a band
watch a film
strawberries with cream

Gaze at the sun
watch it fall down
smile
dont frown

and most of all
tell someone you love them
give them a flower
mhmhm smells nice
doesn't it?

I must be dreaming
