When the world is quiet
and the street lights are
gold
there aren't enough words for the
stories I've heard

When the sun is descending
and the lamps flicker
on
there aren't enough minutes to
talk until dawn

When the sky is an ink spot
and the stars are
revealed
there aren't enough words to
explain how
I feel.

I see the red sun sinking in the horizon
before my eyes the sky is burning,
the half moon shyly smiling
but it is in on her dark side
where my heart is falling.

I breathe in the scent of the evening
trying to remember the days
when I was happy only because I was living.
the soft wind wants to give me wings
but my mind is drowning
in the river running wildly next to my aching body

as the night gets darker,
my ghosts are revealing their faces,
my demons are waiting on the right side of my bed
and while the stars will dance their waltz
I will be sleeping with my fears
and let the nightmares bite again
another piece of my restless soul.

cankered by self
centred bullseyes.
target
for arrows fledged
from dead wings.

love could be
nylon now.
sores do not
care if
instruments are false.

strung between the
hurt now and
some notion
of then words
flow.

do they salve
or do they
sear the flesh
stretched
weeping
consequence
of loving.

words if to sear
should find ear
who made one so ...
strange.

words if to salve
should not halve
loves joy into
loss.

love is purposed . true
to words that are not used
as whips or leashes.

no fertile ground
in words bound
to regret.
feet on below
mind up above
it is yet to know
where she wanders, my love

come down already
from the foam of your dream
you float yet you're steady
playing notes down a stream

I can hear your voice
and its echo in distance
it's a morning rejoyce
it's a call to existence

waking up and it's you
holding me in a clutch
so simple, so true
your smell, your touch

in the night then you shine
standing in for the day
I can not make you mine
but I want you to stay

the sun standing up there
looks below when you rise
because under your hair
you're the moon in disguise.

There is a long road ahead,
Let us walk together
Under the moonlight, I understood
why darkness asked for my company
or why the stars were winking at me
each dreamless night.
I knew of my existence not as a human
but as a child of the moon, as a child born from mystery.
I bore my name and I spoke it
not in whispers,
but loudly, with a feeling of belonging
to a universe that showed itself wholly
in my complicated mind,
in my damaged soul,
in the green spark of my eyes,
which encompasses every word I've left unsaid,
in the emotion running smoothly down my cheek
whenever I was thinking of you.
You wanna prevent a eruption when it  already happend
Your job has been done for quit some time
Your lingering around
I dont need your pitty
Stay out of my conversations
My thoughts are my own
Teengers talk thats what they do its nothing new
If I think someone is being stupid let me think it
If I get in trouble thats my fault I dont need your help
Some things you just gotta deal with
The  words slip from my mouth easliy because I dont care , I dont care about them
They need no details to explain them because there simple minded
You say ingnore them but how many years did it take for you to be able to do it
Your not fighting my battles so dont tell me its easy
Your not living my life
Your not a kid so you dont know the social competion
