Now I’m no mathematician
but correct me if I’m wrong.
Last time I checked, ‘forever’
was more than one week long.

My fault, I suppose,
for wearing my heart on my sleeve.
It was there for loving
not as a wipe for your sneeze.

The smile on my face
is a lie at best.
What matters is the sinking feeling
deep inside my chest.

The highs are so tall
but the depths go too low.
It’s too dark down here,
no light left to show.

Such is this life,
no birds left to sing.
I suppose all that is good
needs replacing.

In honor as captain
I’ll sink with my ship.
Carelessly lost
like a last poker chip.

In the depths of the sea
I’ll have much time to ponder.
Why it went wrong
and what lays on yonder.

Complex cosmos.
   Intertwined divine.
Emerging energies tangled in vibrant vibrations.

   Beings of light.
      Woven through time and space.
Mind meeting spirit.
    An Awakening.

Truth echoes in the silent wind.
   Open eyes with ancient ties.
          The illusion is wearing off.
        Dormant souls colliding,
    Seeing light beyond this realm.

A revolution beyond government and world order.
       A conscious shift, long awaited.
           Beyond technology and media schemes.
         A new view.
     Simply pure.
Beautifully complex.

   A transcending universe in the minds eye.
Opening mystical doorways into the great forgotten.
     Taking spirit back.
         Claiming love and light for all who accept it.

Nature fueling the human imagination.
  The endless curiosity,
       We are cleverly designed to crave.

Follow me tonight,
      I’m the stars in the sky.
  We’re all just seeking truth
        And we’re just passing by.

Chicken
is
a
fun
game.
*don't stop

Phone calls, lonely sheets.
Warm bodies, and cold feet.
Soft touch, hard kisses.
Imposed beliefs, and forgotten wishes.
Dancing silly, writing serious.
Long distance love is thought to be delirious.
Maybe they were right, since it's done now.
Though your contour still wrinkles in my sheets somehow.
Thinking of you I can feel happy, or I can feel numb.
You left behind far too many love crumbs.

Buy the ticket,
take the ride.
The feeling that I hold's
sublime.

Long hard hours
full of pain.
A world of knowledge
I did gain.

Books and tests and math
and gruel,
I came and saw and
beat this school.

Now sitting on the steps
I wait
to take that walk
and graduate.

What lies next
I do not know.
On to bigger things
I go.

This boy's got a heavy weight;
Dangling 'round his neck,
Hanging 'pon his chest

Don't know where to go
                    what to wear
                    who he'll meet

Well maybe,
it's his time to wait on mystery.



One evening far from now
Forget 'bout father
Learn what true love is

Don't know how to touch
                    what to say
                    who to be

Well maybe,
it's time to leave independence bay.



A guitar once said, "you can't start a fire,
you can't start a fire
[not] without a spark"

Don't know how to live
                    how to love
                    or give faith

Well maybe,
time has come to give that heart away.




*This was inspired in part by thoughts from the day and in part to listening to my all time favorite cover, Mat Kearney's rendition of Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark." Enjoy

Doors keep swinging,
Open, closed;
This body's reeling,
From what it's eyes been showed.

So close those eyes,
Close 'em real tight.
And listen....


Wait....


The doors keep swinging,
Open, closed;
You better keep walking,
Before you're left all alone.

But wait, listen closer,
You can here them all whisper.
As gold, glisten.


The Gypsy
                                The Lover
                                                           ­      The Poet
                                                            ­                                   The Sister

Many more hearts,
Four short of Five score,
Inexactly,
Right behind,
Passing through,

Open doors,


Following you.

Daffodils in Spring,
That's why we sing of sweet Spring,
Daffodils of gold!
