Lately I've been going in strange directions,
I've been going about this all wrong,
And I don't think there was a right way either, but maybe something better.
There's always something better.
I've been counting out all the options and the faults and their placements,
I've been looking in store windows and staring at all the faces I see when I walk down the city streets at night,
I'm just trying to find a way to make this right
How do I make it right?
How do I make it right?
And these nightmares eat my brain when I sleep,
I'm paranoid someone is watching me,
And they know I've been trying to make this right,
When there is no right,
Time to give up the fight?

Loneliness

//://

I am but a lovely child

---

I do not
Care any more

I do not

Listen

To your reasons

////

In the sunset shadows

In the sheltering dark

/:/::/:/

True childish shapes

Into the magic of each other

We escape

///

Loneliness

//://

Cool breezes

The healing arts

The power of pure loveliness



Here we are

Here we are

Here we are

soft healing winds

///

The pain ?

WHAT IS HERE ?



This is SACRED EARTH

///

the healing winds are here



What have we done ?

ONLY HEAL

You fell for the girl
with a travelers heart
who's eyes mimic
the worlds most vibrant art.

You loved the girl
with marks on her skin
like permanent kisses
from the places she's been.

You held the girl
with songs in her soul
which she learned from experiences
you'll never know.

You were angered by the girl
who left you alone
'cause the need for adventure
was etched in her bones.

i still remember
your intoxicating scent
masked coldly in the mist of regret

i still remember
your alluring eyes
charred red, like the dying sunset

seven months
and i still can't forget

maybe having my heart broken by you
wouldn't be so bad
i just wish i could reset

s.b.//
i unintentionally made this one rhyme
Even the one
who lights the world
can succumb to the darkness inside.

We become blind
and see only the light.

The darkness can easily hide.

So you've scattered yourself
to the billions of stars that
blanket the billowing night

to help hold at bay
the darkness that preys
on the strong
and the weak
and the rich
and the poor
and the brilliant
and dull ones
alike.

You gave of yourself
with such ferocity of truth.

You fought with all of your might.

So thank you, old friend
for sharing your gift
and rest now
in peaceful twilight.
Where I stand will never be good enough

Where I go can never seem like home

When I go there i'll miss being home

Why can't I be satisfied?
