12th Street
The weather channel predicted
It was going to be a cold fall morning
But truthfully
it was quite freezing
I saw her rush past shutters
all with different colors
wearing a dreadful look on her face
Thoughts circulated for a moment before
she returned
CRACK CRACK CRACK
The sound of her heels meeting the ground  were like thunderstorms mixed with cannon fire on the fourth of July
Blue, yellow, green, and red
The order in which she passed the shutters
This time with a different face
Brighter than the first
yet more empty than the last
Why the sudden change in mood
Was it that brief moment in time where she could actually feel free
Or
Was it the blisters bursting on the soles of her feet that made her feel something more

Do you remember what time it was when you forgot about me?
Do you remember what you were doing when you made your decision?
Was it as easy for you?
Was it easy for me
to accept it?
I didn't think much about it at the time.
But then I wasn't too sure.
I wanted to speak to you,
but couldn't seem to form the sentences in my head.
It's like the smoke from that last cigarette clouded my mind.
I felt like my lungs were burning, why couldn't I speak?
Did I deserve it?
The voice in the back of my mind told me I did.
Was it the rejection that hurt? To be honest, I wasn't quite sure.
If I couldn't be honest with myself, how on earth
could I have been honest with you?
And all of a sudden it was like satisfaction was a distant memory.
I underestimated the power of love.

There it is
Your very essence
Running down my throat
Slowly waiting
For the blood pressure to spike

Stop to listen.
Breath in the air that is given to you
Slow it down

You strike deep
You strike true
Sunken rooms we find you in
Undeniable
With a mighty groove

I thank you
For being you
Your waves like tides
Rebirth the smiles
The Lost Ships and sunken tunes

Smooth Remembrance
It’s the moments between each drag of a cigarette-
-I can remember the taste of your lips against mine.

“What a toxic way to remember such beauty.”

Her lips were shy, but
her eyes...
                Her eyes-
-were like cyclones.
“And now?”
Now there’s nothing keeping me from journeying into the eye of the storm.

Hopelessness
It’s that feeling in your gut when you’re doing 65 miles an hour over the speed limit through the dead of fog on Christmas morning with no where to go.

“Listen”
Happy days the ones we treasure
Forget the pain, enjoy the pleasure
Stainless mornings, unforgettable nights
reckless decisions after dimming the lights
Oh the games we’ve played would make them tremble
The monsters we’ve shared we won’t remember  
Those happy days I will always treasure
Now happy days are just buried pleasures

Never Alone
Gazing my eyes over the horizon with
the night sky looking down upon me.
I embrace the winter breeze so that I can describe it to you in a way you’d understand.
You illuminate the trees and show me the stars to brighten my stay.
A friend you’ve been through thick and thin.
Here in the dark we will find our way.

Mistaken lines
Three hundred and one days
my mind continues to rot
lost inside my head
these dreams are all I have.

Passengers
And still these nights remain stained
Bleached in the puddle of mud you left me in.
And as dawn began to break
It was that little piece of you
on the tip of my tongue, knowing
the coffee couldn’t have tasted
better

Being
Is it the continuous beating of the bleeding heart that pumps the blood throughout my body?
Or, is it the red silk sheets that give me the simplest satisfaction as my outer layer is embraced by them?
Could it be the smoke from the sandalwood incense filling up the room, and then mindlessly making its journey out the window?
To me, I’d hope it would be a little yellow house sitting on the edge of the universe gazing it’s open doors out in to the unknown, pondering on the beautiful things of nothing.

Water World
Pull me in closer, grip my skin
Remove the flesh from the bones to reveal what is in
Overwhelming with Beaty, but it was her soul that I craved
No words were ever needed, only the vibes that she made

Never Enough
No form of shaking, or nerve sensation can testify her inner glory
The moans she’s making with the breaths she’s taking will justify her inner fury

Beautiful Blue
I have traveled the seas through and through
Created a map from me to you
I hoisted the colors and manned the sails
Patched every breach you could ever entail
I’ve uncovered many treasures, I’ve made it to many shores
but it was her furious waters I truly adored

I miss no crevice, I neglect no crease.
I indulge in every square inch of her masterpiece.

You are an angel among humans
My true light in this life
The roots that replenish my body
Everything wrong that was made right
Every shining star in the sky
To every molecule in my body
You hold a four letter meaning
That tells a 6 word story
“Tell me all about it.”

She skipped the carotid artery and went straight for the heart

Welcome Home
As the tide rolls in the sky fades to black
The wind picks up as the rain comes crashing down
We no longer cower in fear
This violent disturbance has been the very thing we’ve craved
Take my hand and let this disaster carry us deep into storm

It was in my dreams you decided to stay

Unbreakable
Perfection entitled in every which way
Enforced my emotions at the end of this may
When it's hidden you'll see the enlightenment in me
For what lights you might see, you see feelings are free
For lust I might have for this greedy mistake
This Pride is my winning as this heart shall not break.

Remove the marks from my skin

Loose the memories we made
Erase me completely

The Drift
First but foremost from darkness we crawl
The mind becomes tired, and with pain it dissolves
A creak at the floor, your eyes snap and stare
Your thoughts become twisted, while who is nowhere

Do you get the Picture
What is a picture?
A picture is quite simple to explain.
You can say it is an image sketched out onto a piece of paper, or a image burned into the back of your head. it's something unable to be changed overtime. It is here, it is there, and it will stay the way it is.
There is nothing you can do to change a picture.

Stained Sheets
For something so small I would've never thought twice
Till a stab in the back and a vicious dog bite
had me break at the knees, now my hands in the dirt
You could of shot me a smile so I could have left with a smirk
For something so small I would've never thought twice.

First to Speak
Ten months lost in my own thoughts
three hundred and one days and my mind continues to rot  
how long will it be until I loose myself?
how long will it take me to figure out I've changed?
stay locked away and ill keep myself encaged
maybe its for the best that I condemn myself in this place, a place full of bad mistakes that cant be erased
I see you in my sleep every night
lost in my head these dreams are all I have
Erase Me

The Night Sky
She’s the blackness in the sky that sits above the clouds
Somewhere between moonlight and midnight with an undefined sound
A pitch with a whistling ring, wakeful to the ears of all men
We cattle in line like constellations for the chance to speak to her again

Trench Warfare
I’m not awake for my wellbeing
It’s become a pain in my chest that can’t be explained
Unprovoked and out of control
Here I lay  
Where the doors are closed and the shutters are drawn
This tattered coach has become my home

Calm Air
You spoke to me in ways I’ve never been spoken to
A language said to be used by the moon

Feel free to dive into the overflowing oasis that is my heart.

Perfection Entitled
Like my first sip of jack you had me making that face
something I enjoyed more you had me skipping that chase
As you slurred your words, I fell deep into your eyes
Was it love at first sight, or your heart illuminating mine?
Now when I envision perfection I can only see you holding my hands, and three things blue
It’s hidden you see, the clarity in me
For what lights you might see, you see feelings are free
Now emotions have rose in such a dastardly way, but like you my pride is my winning as this heart shall not break

Dearest Companion
I’ve always been accompanied by the presence of nothing
A dearest friend that speaks only the  language of silence  
A fire lost inside the hearts of many
A light that has always been lit but yet forgotten
Follow me into everlasting eternity where darkness meets the light
Here we can be everything but nothing
Here we shall stay

Deeply Tied
This ocean will billow, deep and true
creating currents from me to you
From the offing to the beach
The tide will flux with infant like waves
And when the brine reaches our feet
We will know we have made it to a better place

Sea Of Green
My heart was found inside this sunken chest in the midst of this burnt down town

Where windows were smashed and doors kicked in. there’s no verbiage that could describe this noun

I have fled from homes where the sun would rise and make my way back from where the sun would set

Searching for a niche in this constant glitch with no codes or terms to be met

Within my dreams I can see a star as bright as a summer day. Making its way through this tarnished town with only positive things to say

“There’s hardly any life in the soil beneath the ash, trust me I’ve been looking for years.”

She grabbed my hand, helped me to my feet and told me to wipe away the tears

Where the rubble stood tall she plucked a flower and began to sing a song

Words so soft and as clear as day I knew she could have never been wrong

She said
“Grow only in a way you know.”

Now I could finally see

Where the rubble once lied she grew a forest, a sea as green as could be
