Enter the clearing.

Two words are seared
On the petal of my rose

Thronged back to the thorns
As if they disappeared

Like degrees and pressure
There is proportion
When energy is measured

Smelling the beast of emotion
I enter the clearing
Slowing me down
Spaces in-between
The laws of motion

Trapped in the obligating shift
That I captured in a glass bottle
Then threw off the cliff
The mischievous trip
Is wrapped with a gift
That controls fancy imagination
Written for us
Then destroyed for participation

A systematic disguise
That seeks to attract us
And then smack us
Like flies

One must understand:
I am not the source
But today, I surrendered.
I am the corpse.

Wallowing in a shallow pool
Time has lost time
I run like a fool.
Blood pools and pulls.
I wish I were running.
My cup dipped
Halfway full

I cry when I taste it.
You didn’t cleanse me
I want to jump in victory
You didn’t fix it.

I scream out in confusion.
I hear the Lion roar delusion.

I cling to your mystery
I don’t love your plague
You certainly, designed.
You are not vague.

A missing piece
I thought you built me.
Evolution
Incompatible with “thee”

My hands folded without a crease
Trying to impress you
Speaking blessings and peace

Sanity is all the same
They tell me it’s good to…
Good to love you

A spec of blackness on a cloth
Quandaries in the mud

I see a ***** fog in prayer.
Wondering if your there
Mad God
I kneel back.
Loving God
This isn’t fair.

A needle in my eye
Injecting my sight
Evading the light

I was graded in solitary youth
Molded by a truth

My tongue saturated
With a souring tease
My words backwards
They always bleed.

With a finite wire
With a touch that is dire.

I was graded in solitary youth.
I was molded by a truth.

He eyes his time.

Interaction
Capturing their reaction

Interpretation of forced perception
His reality is their conception

He changed his goal.
He’ll never retrieve
What they stole.

Crushed by imprinted hands
He is gathered by words and enamored plans

Thrill seeking culture
On his back
Morality and love
Some will lack

He takes his mind.
He wants it to stop.
He knows.
What is real and what is not.

Interaction
Capturing their reaction

Interpretation of forced perception
His reality is their conception

He changed his goal
He’ll never retrieve
What they stole.

You take what I have.
Crossing tongues
Smashing bones
To create a path

Scorned and ******
To my death

Waves travel.
When you yell
I drink the potion.
Sipping …
Reciting the spell

Scorned and ******
To my death

You’ve taken what I have.
Crossing my tongues
Smashing my bones
You create the path.

Slithering under my shoes
Colors and hues for stories

Floating under my toes
I see my worries

The shelves crashing down
Destroying the stupid crown

Distracting myself from truth
When I ask questions
I already know the answer to

******-session
Counseling the repression

Of happiness on my surface
Now …
I know enough to know
I truly deserve it.

I want to stop it now
My feet have always walked
A thousand miles

I listen for the placement
Of my different pretext

Biblical reruns
From temple and mass instruction
Encapsulated maps
Calculated construction

Don’t ever follow me
The time machine breaks

I never hear
I’m always deaf  
Never blind to fear

Tearing my shoes
Wanting and desiring
Everything used

I want to stop it now
My feet have walked
A thousand miles

I hear a horn
Death calling my name
What have I done?
What must I say?
For my tomorrow
For my today?

High leaps from mountain tops
Overlooking
Different dialects and words
I am taught.

A question for reform
I ask you how.
Can one transform?

Rest my past .
Reveal my now.
Challenge my world .
Show me how.

In melodic jumps
Around rhythmic hoops

On pastels and colors to frame
Telling stories forever
With truth and shame

Contriving to mysticism
In tunes
Bladed by blues

Every ban on presence
Describes my point of view

I cast shadows
In melodic jumps
Around rhythmic hoops

On pastels and colors to frame
Telling stories forever
With truth and shame

My destiny is in.
Circles **** me
Round-a-bouts begin

I wait for the riddle.
Repetition saturated
I grab the middle.

I see a bright foggy sky
Glimpsing up to view
Your thoughts in reprise

An assumption of acclamation
Recorded by declaration

Looking up
You’ll never understand
You’re only worth your hands

Looking up
You seek persistence
Because your existence
Is in a value system

Herein will lie
The mass construction
Of they’re disguise

Herein will lie
Possibly the destruction
Of our demise

Once in while
I’m taking a risk
I’m making the choice
I cannot fix.

Decimation and calculation
History, I wanted to cover
Cloaked, I’ll wait to discover

Rolling off the tongue
My words deterred.
I lived along a road
My thoughts disturbed.

Leave me to my thoughts
I sacrifice emotion
To ride on a ship
Her name is devotion

Torn boxes shadow my life
Knotting my disposition
Folded in meditation

I expose my condition
On the heads of many
I send a message
I try to give plenty

Branching to peace
Realizing the light
I ****** the energy.

Healthy explosions
Writings on the wall
Staring at myself
I suddenly hear the call.

Desperately nervous
When grasping the coherence
Of the wisdom eye

I feel a small presence
Revealing endeavors
Of a cautioned mind

After a long night
Repetition and circulation
Memories sublimed.

I listened to your voice your change
Intense and mysterious
Sad and strange

Evocation of the choice
Sometimes these words possess
The power to destroy

Just let him breathe
You always seethe
He coughs from the smoke
I know you gave that up

Years ago…

Ripping off his flesh
You‘ve made him unsure.
You know his disease.
You hide the cure.

You’re killing his mind
You always seethe.
You always blind.
Just let him breathe.

You dress him up
Locking him in his room
Pulling out his stitches
Salting his wounds

Just let him breathe.

He coughs from the smoke
I know you gave that up.

Years ago…

Footprints impound my secrets
While writing my lyrics
Washing away my muse
Making them known to few

Drunken veins
Nervous brain
Because I’m of secrets
I‘ll hide
They’ll remain

Please ask a question
I want you to know
I am invisible
I didn’t grow

Ducked by mirrors
Reality begins to sear
The glass walls
Express my fear

Drunken veins
Nervous brain
Because I’m of secrets
I’ll hide
They’ll remain

I wait a minute
I want to sing
The internal bleed
External bells ring

Please ask a question
I want you to know
If I am invisible
I will not grow…

You tipped your imagery
Slowly unmasked

It took two days
Confused by the questions
You never asked

You know yourself
Even when rehearsed

In someone else
You’re always immersed

You feed on the weak
And flee the strong
You know what you do
Is morally wrong

Smooth were the words you spoke
Sentences tied like a rope
Velvet V, you’re such a joke.

Monsters undisturbed
Rising souls
Meet those warped goals

Fire okay
It’s burning for today

I know where I been
Now I want to win

Old burdened moon
Falling too soon

Now I want you
To live with me too

Step into worlds
I didn’t choose

Monsters undisturbed
Don’t take me to church.
Because I have heard

Now you can see
What it means

Because I believe
Now.
I don’t have to grieve.

Contradiction drums
Waiting and listening
I hear mellow hums

A warm piece of cake
****** in taste

I’ve described one or two
Everyday  
More than twice
Up all night

Always forever
I will see  
Maybe in R.E.M
Maybe in my sleep
Some of them are shallow
Some of them are deep

Contradiction drums
Waiting and listening
I hear mellow hums

Millions and billions I see
Many of them in the distance
Knowing there will be
Never enough in existence

Minutes after
The hour nearly past
I wonder how long
How  long will this last?

Sawdust in my eyes
Awoken by breakfast smells
Should I even try?

Old quotations in my sky
I'm sitting
Wondering

Why?
I realize.
I must not lie.

Minutes after
The hour has passed.
I wonder how long this will last

It's wet.
The next stone
I must move on

Before I know it
It will be gone.

Everyone is sold
Under their control
Strangled by their goals

Running under shadows
Caught like ***** meadows

Crushed like a can.
Captured as they ran

He never had the strength
To reach through the stem of flowers
He would curl up into the corner
A manifold of multi-dimensional power

He isn’t his shadow
Withering
Like the bones marrow

Melting his hands
To believe his lies
In the screeching guilt
Behind his eyes

He doesn’t care
He’s minimal in the dust
Like no one is there

This is the only place were I can recognize me
Maybe?
I look in the mirror and there.
You aren’t.
You are washed up and dry
Peaceful and without pride
Dying inside

My outside is what I see
Only physical in the light
-My insides-
“They desire me.”
Some people think we are one and the same.

I hear the person that I will be.
He calls my name…
Waiting for me to choose the paths…
I am a torn beast.
Unreconciled and sometimes dangerous
Waiting on myself and then moving quickly.
Desperate by nature

Is anyone there?
There is only me
The rules aren’t fair
Someone punches me.

I arrive here.
I look up.
Staring at the animal I see
Maybe it isn’t?

Surely
My insides spill out.
Vomiting my thoughts; releasing everything.

I look up.
There I am.

It can be lifted to the hills
To the mountains and the valleys that give

It comes down to gather proof
Several moments at once
It knows me.
It knows you.

It’s a fire
Burning everything that is dire.

I give my all.
It steals my anxiety.
It heals ulcers.
Ripping them from society.

It can be lifted to the hills
To the mountains and the valleys that give

It comes down to gather truth.
Several moments at once
It knows me.
It knows you.
