Strangled thoughts ricochet around,
screaming silence muted sound,
lost inside the synaptic pulses,
like a myriad of combined song versus.

My feet move unbidden,
to only sounds that are hidden,
deep inside my skull and brain,
falling on me like gentle rain.

My wish

Sometimes I wish life to be
A little different than it is
I would rather run with stars
Collecting light instead of money
I would rather drown in minds
Exchanging words instead of worry
I would rather smell like life
Inhaling air instead of numbness
I would rather sound like music
Wander together not alone
Don't offer the fuel it needs
to set you on fire
it's true though don't you think?

Iron legs brittle to the touch
ready to snap like dry twigs,
and yet it still carries mulch, tools, and plants.
Wheels tried and true.
Metal a sunset hue.
It’ll collapse no doubt into a heap on the ground
spilling its contents to be judged by the earth.
I wonder what will finally make it fail.
The stones? The dirt? The rain?
It’s a matter of when, not if.
All carriers crumble under the weight.

Aim to be the person
you dreamed you'd be as a child
in spite of the world crushing your dreams.

You

You
Your beautiful face
Suddenly appeared in the crowd
And within in millisecond
My sad face blossomed

Do I ever cross your mind?
If you heard that I was dead,
Would you think of me?
Would you think of what you could’ve done differently?
If I was dead, if I was dead, if I was dead

Do I ever cross your mind?
If you heard that I was dead,
Would you cry?
Did you know that I loved you?
If I was dead, would you forget me?
If I was dead, if I was dead, if I was dead

Love’s pain is rapturous.
I see you changed your tune
Fast as phazes of the moon

So true,
That you

Should-a seen it comin',
Should-a heard the hummin

Right through,
Bright blue...


Must-a been my voodoo
Cause I sure did do it to you.

Oh you,
You're through.

You're through.

Must-a been my voodoo
Cause I sure did do it to you.

Oh you,
You're through

I can cross the river
'Bout-a any time I feel.
Nothing's gonna be a break
A-slowing down my wheel.
I'm gonna take you out
Any time I want
And it won't cost a pretty dime
Because inside of you, I haunt.
I have a few brief pieces of verse to post this morning. I hope they get read.
