Walk down the old school hallway
                Lockers line leaning in
What I once stayed at for hours
                           Is now a stranger in my mind

sleepless nights
         incur frightful
terrors
            locked in torpidity
as anxiety
           dashes up the sheets
i practice
                this waltz with death
  unsuccessfully

black skies turn red
then blue
                 as fear turns to dread
the mourning heavens rained
          a morning mildew ensues  
"Another soul, another day"
               as an angel pulls
to polish so it may start anew

Spring nights know no dawns
      Winter dead and gone
fights of house cleaning
                seeing isn't believing

A spring child born
     enduring such hardships
though it head filled will knowledge
         knows no bounds
or bonds

Hazy candy store blues
     with candid lazy attitudes
        and sickly sweet stumps stalked high
Is where I first fell in love

        a truffle for my mother
     a treat for my crazy brother
            Icing on the roof as we sat aloof
sweet scents of clove
and
        a wood burning stove
churning in a choice strokes
            as we built Gingerbread houses

I will walk the circumference
Of the Earth

I will step around
a field of glass

Walk the ocean floor

Climb mountains and hills


You will taste the salt on my lips
From my infinite sweat


I will show you places you dream about:
Forests denser than lead
Caves deeper than the soul, darker than the heart
Oceans bluer than the sea of emotions
You feel when you look at the moon


I will walk the path none dare travel

To lie
To cheat
To steal
All to get what I want
Sounds like psychopathy and
Narcissism put together
I care about others
But more about my own goals
Good thing i have none
