chain reaction
So the bottle bit you in the *** like the snake that you sat on.
That's your **** fault because you left the kettle on.
Though it all started when you smoked that last cigarette and didn't see the gas leak that lead to the last day you'd forget.
To think there isn't fate, is to live a lie.
You hold it in your hands, but deny your eyes.
Just try to remember.

Bathe In The Cosmic
Decent for dessent
That’s how it’s rhythm went
As the conflict came to rise like the spark inside a fire
Intrepid since creation
We’ve been walking many wires
Feigning fear to To try and feel
A discernment of what is real but what’s disregarded is the fact you even have to question
Ignorance is bliss? Or strength in your intention?
Thought cannot be the only thing to exist
However a zombie is a waste if it doesn’t eat
brains
Have a little taste of a musing ride
That brings the flavor, you’ll need a guide
Spirit
Clear it
Hear it and run
Takin’ a century can it be done?
The meeting as one
Secret salvation the secret is done
Are they telling in whispers and walking like drifters
They’re  tripping on papers it’s time to re gift it
explain in due time ya never could fake this
Always trying to break us
But the music is strong and it’s beat  will make us
The beings that we are
the worlds we are
The birth of the universe from another’s dying star
We are the afterlife of another existence
Brand new creation looking for witness
Billions of years  to finally have it here and now it could easily disappear
Reality is what?
Desire and emptiness?
Why’s the door shut every time I vent through this
Aging agitation
Buried vegetation
It’s time to find the faults within and bless it all with love so that the veil may fall and the world may hear it’s original name, but for now it shall be a very long game

I
know the reasons why
we're all fighting
for
power
and all of our lies
we try to cover up
inside
society's eyes
so we get distracted
now
from asking how
they rule us over

I can't take it any more
I can't take it any more
I can't take it any more
I...CAN'T...TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!

We all want change
but it all stays the same
you still complain
without any action    
let's rearrange
the focus on pain
and turn it into the stage
entertain pure perception
You feel so cold
when you try to hold
on a grudge that beckons
more than you can mold
Don't be so bold
listen, what you're told
is the avoidance of question
what hearts behold_

I
know the reasons why
we're all fighting
for
power
and all of our lies
we try to cover up
inside
society's eyes
so we get distracted
now
from asking how
they rule us over

I can't take it any more
I can't take it any more
I can't take it any more
I...CAN'T...TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!

Truth is *******
we drink from the roots enough
to pay for the words is wrong
call on the thirst's direction
so young in the hearts of the strong
is a reason that the blind move along
in a place that they built as rough
eating all of God's selection
could you tell me you know
that you are right in all you know
but the thing is you can't accept
that your will is hardly shown
say that you have grown
comfortable enough to live alone
but more is left unsaid on the edge
how can you call this home

I
know the reasons why
we're all fighting
for
power
and all of our lies
we try to cover up
inside
society's eyes
so we get distracted
now
from asking how
they rule us over

I can't take it any more
I can't take it any more
I can't take it any more
I...CAN'T...TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!

Warrior of the kind
Skilled with a weapon that kills with a heart
mercy to your life, but only if you freshly start
for I give no grace to those who can't change
blood can be washed, but you forever see my stains
they will burn into your mind like a message from God
a whisper so deadly fast like lightning to a rod
shake in fear if you ever crossed swords with me
I'll bring a flood of tears and steer my blade towards thee
I am only tamed by the dame that I proclaim
So watch your head or it will be reclaimed
I am among the darkness but it is not my friend
my enemies are closer than a follow to a trend
stake everything you have on the battle we commence
you will lose in an instant as I flow through sequence
I challenge a cold heart with thick brick gloves
to take on my power that is given to me by love

Create, Observe, Contract
The lessons of the act

Connect, Direct, Project
The memories we collect

Obtain, Restrain, Contain

A heart like David
Sitting in silence
No light inside the room
but your shine cracks through the door as I view my soul in clarity as I listen to you whole
unfold the mysteries of your oceanic heart
as the cosmos parts in the sky
the gold of your truth brings warmth to the cold and dark
wisdom comes within solitude from the rest of the earth
with only you to talk to
with only you to bind my spirit to
I can hear your whisper
I see your stairway
I will climb and climb to the peak
and at zenith your eyes shall look upon me
as your determined child
to not fade as the flower of flesh
but to rise as the vessel of your breath

A song for unrest
So they tell me that your faith is sinking from opinions
of all the people
That's ok because I know I've been there once or twice
from all the people
There's been a time when everything fell down just as the rain
and I just stood there
staring off
doing nothing
giving up
on looking for something

You have to break into your heart for wisdom
when you feel like you can't do it today
You have to let go all that you keep hearing
when it sounds like garbage anyway

I see the waves inside your eyes
turning over and over
until they cross the tide
I believe the calm has come to rise
because the water's getting colder
it slowly brings the ice

...to freeze the pain

Emotions overwhelm the heavy hearted and the troubled
just the same
we can care for each other
lifting up one another
the hardened apathy
from complacency
towards the deeper side of life
comes from the beating down
of dreamers all around
so dominating will suffice

You have to break into your heart for wisdom
when you feel like you can't do it today
You have to let go all that you keep hearing
when it sounds like garbage anyway
move back from the trouble turn away

I see the waves inside your eyes
turning over and over
until they cross the tide
I believe the calm has come to rise
because the water's getting colder
it slowly brings the ice

...to freeze the pain

Layer Over Layer
Certain things create a chime and remind of times before a life
Advertising, a simple phrase one will say to another, an action much like one you feel you've seen
Will play with your senses like this isn't real

Then another sound like an echo of a bell chiming up ahead triggers a feeling of anticipation
as if it's destiny calling,
you already know it to be true, but it's waiting patiently for the next turn

Sometimes dreams feel more real than this reality, though I know that's not true?

One life's spark, One life's wave continues on and on with it's energy until it reaches the end of infinity

Could a new life over lap frequencies and match circumstance with another?

Or does the divine shine through a soul-prism creating a rainbow of lives lived past, present, and future?

I'm not for certain, but the fact it tickles my brain more than enough through the day everyday, tells me it's something to look into.... ;)

I feel like a ghost
Committing to the actions of an ill inflicting lie
abiding to the laws unveiling cloaks between the lines
searching for the cause of all the walls that blind and bind
the city sleeps and I will weep unless we're sure to find

The true story
respect and honor
belief and faith
pursuing farther
into the darkness
to light the honest

I feel like a ghost

within a haunting place he thought he'd never be
as a human he could change the lives of many and set them free
but every time he tries to speak they act like he's not there
fading out with pain, angst, and shame
for those who do not care

about the true story
respect and honor
belief and faith
pursuing farther
into the darkness
to light the honest

...yet they don't want to know...
**FadedFate**
As I wander through
all the shattered glass of yesterday
calming down the beating drum of
changing lives and open chances
piecing all the damaged ones
to make a spirit of true beauty
I savor all the good and bad
so that we all see the art of the journey

I don't want to wait on someone else's discovery
feeling like I missed it by an inch misguided by
intuition clouded from recent recovery
taking so long I think I over analyze

I'm acting as a vessel for all of mankind
inspiring the feelings that you had in your subconscious mind
learning that the fates don't like to mess up
and hate it even more when you draw your own lines

So I'm tryin not to live with doubt or any regret
but it's tough reminding yourself of what you said
I tend to tear into my will I must confess
cuz my greatest fear is me not pursuing my very best

twitching with an itch I just want to let it all out
but gradual degree is key to live strong right now
it's coming to a boil
it's coming to a rise
let the wave take you in
push you up to the sky
if you want to stay down
that's fine by me
I'm not forcing you to come along
I'm running wild and free

Pending on the mend
Spin doctor spin
while you try to get within
before you see the faults and foresee flaws
don't break a spirit with the devil's kin

Collect your trophies from the healing of one
while you shine in a fake light, the rest are dying away
So many to count, so sad to say
that you could help as many as you do without the money that you take

It's not overwhelming if you're doing what you love
but you just do it cuz you put a pay check up above
the passion and the hope that you have for the dying
scary to think our blood is on your hands, our heart is in your glove

If this is how it is, then let us know that in the first place
because when you avoid the truth, you become a good waste
I'd rather have a good tailor tell me he can't mend my torn clothes
Than say he'll try his best, and end with worse holes than before

Don't over do it
Attractive and spunky
happy and content
quiet, yet funny
I wonder what it is that makes you so magnetic
I'm not the only one I know this for sure
but I'm selfish when it comes down to it
I'll share, but I won't like it

Hello, how are you? I uhhh forgot what to say
I'll just be quiet and smile with every word you speak
I'll take it all in and enjoy every minute
why am I being so shy? I'm usually a loud ***
This is weird
whatever, I'll just go with it
Man, I would love to say something creative right now
I'm speechless, what the hell?
This is the perfect point where I could win you over
I'm failing, just keep laughing and smiling
I really hate me right now
annnnd there she goes....

Bye!....oh and btw  you're gorgeous, and I would love for us to take a walk
out on a beach or a picnic and share some deep thoughts....of course, now I know what to say
You just might be the only one that has me so wrapped up so fast
I have got to settle down, I don't even know enough yet
I'm not even sure if I want anything
It doesn't seem like I'd get hurt with you
Here I am looking waaaay too far into the future

Ok, so these other girls are talkin to me
you're cool
not her
so are you
not her
you are too
not her
this is ridiculous
I need to step back

I think I'll just stop talking to you for a lil
I don't want you to think that I'm too much
I love your company
your personality
what you think about
I cherish the moments when I get to see any of it
God I need to stop
Here I am over doing it
This poem isn't really a poem. It's more of the thoughts that happen to any guy who finds himself making a fool of himself when he doesn't need to.

Wormhole
Can you see the leaves are falling?
Just before a cloud of snow
Can you hear the children calling?
Wipe the dust of growing old

Let me show you what's on the mind
Grab a hold because you're in for a ride
Don't lose control
Because the body will just roll on down, to the sound
Earn is to learn
You got to learn before the burn alright, dance tonight

Whirlwind decide to make a mess of all the stars again
Direction changing
Who knows the truth of where we are?
Here's to hoping that the ground doesn't come up from underneath of me
These thoughts develop steps to harmony
Shift within the cycles
So we finally belong
**FadedFate**
I can't
regret
anything that's happening
It's all because of me
Dwelling negativity

I thought
that I
was waiting for a sign
It all went over my head
Missed the point to living

Well you
said
you were bored
bored and looking for action
Here it comes
like you wanted
Here comes the beast

I can see the demon's eyes are rising up at me
I can recognize the ego's guise is no surprise
I have my moments when it seems like I'm just circling
I gotta get out of here
I gotta get out of here!
Doing nothing after thinking life just needs an edge
In contradiction we collapse and finally see the end
A choice your making when you desensitize
Open up your eyes
Wake up your mind......

I sit inside humanity
trying to find my sanity
I can't deny the vanity
these box of crayons they keep handing me
color off the wall and want to change the whole world
be a fireball, find a beautiful girl
keep her by my side
let it be let it ride all the time
but didn't you know that in reality it's a crime?
to try to be your self
only you and they judge
a memory on paper
but to them it's just a smudge

When will I realize there is no enemy
I'm only caught up in a cage of my own dualities
It's not the only time I realize we're all standing here
But it's the only time that I see what needs to be said clear

I walk into a battle field before I come home

This is the moment where you take this story for as it is
Another book in life that takes you for a ride to glory or hell
So when it comes into time, on which line, which side will you choose?

I walk into a battle field before I come home

I'm only speaking in the tongues that give you the remedy
Come on and listen in, together my friend comes the clarity
What are you waiting for? A miracle is always happening
Oh you can't afford to let it all slip away

Don't run away
Your troubles will double and finally catch up to you
There is no hiding now
Don't look to the other guy
It all comes down to seeing yourself in a different way
So stand in front of the mirror
Just take a look and see what I see

I walk into a battle field before I come home

Learn, pride learn
Spirit shake me of the feelings given by my humanity
They blind me and break me from my grasp on sanity
blend my strengths so that they aren't just physical
I look to build it all into a foundation of greater mentality

Let the tide wash over the sandy shores of my tainted world
part the rocky walls built by all the troubled thoughts I hurled
throw them aside for the house I will make for my family
and with the extra build a path to the dreams I need unfurled

sow my battle scars but don't let them go fully away
because I need to remember what made me today
for I know new cuts and gashes will come from my thrashing
but I won't make the same with the wisdom of my mistakes

Flow from me the music that needs to be sung
spread the message through me of the old wise ones
til the day I am aged and ripe like them
I will tell the story with the rhythm of my tongue
**Faded Fate**
This image is a glimpse of what I'd like to taste
the time that I spend not searching seems a waste
the lines shape out an everlasting truth
that we once discovered when innocent and full of youth

I can't see cuz a blanket is over me
of stars and scars and bars that hold me down
take it off I swear I'm willing to tear it to the ground
because of all the cost of curiosity

spellbinder find me one with such words
that could bring me the strength that I would deserve
if I found incentive to carry on the curse
of life and death for better or worse

I can't see cuz a blanket is over me
of stars and scars and bars that hold me down
take it off I swear I'm willing to tear it to the ground
because of all the cost of curiosity

dance beyond the dark of a new found light
sway the rhythm of balance to a height
of spirited movements and cosmical ways
the silhouette of cherished moments shaded by normal days

I can't see cuz a blanket is over me
of stars and scars and bars that hold me down
take it off I swear I'm willing to tear it to the ground
because of all the cost of curiosity

Random motions
Avoid to analyze the brighter side and devoting the time to sheer demise does reprise the roll of shine in any eyes
yet appointing the energy towards  the level of degree dancing against the apathy shall decree your presence is gliding into a free sea of unity. Combustion from duality, divinity through unity in reality it's impossible because dimensionally we eventually consciously know it's not here. It won't ever be here. Bridge it over and disappear. From 3 to 4 then onto 12 unless you prefer to see a realm such as hell. Purgatory, or whatever it may be called is not only your mind with walls, but a body whose physics residing in limits denying the finish and a spirit within the disharmonious limbs of reflections so grim from falsifying hymns.

A very long walk
Beings only hide from the truth
Truth never hides
Waves hit the earth nearly the same time the winds do
As above so below
Ancient times with new lines
No shadows can discriminate what’s light in a fulfilled dimension
It’s only overwhelmed by the pure blinding consciousness to dissipate before it even entered and cast
The necessity of distinction has always been in existence......here
finite and limited creations we be within the cube my friend
Lest we seek transcendent wisdom
This will only be and our memories will be lost
Nothing is permanent however
Even if at times it seems otherwise
Experience is the hand that I acknowledge as my support
Being lost is not always so bad, neither is being alone
Getting lost is how we are always found
The original
The indestructible
The evolution of the immortal

Oh so many mysteries
You, you want another life just to try,
To keep up with all there is to wake up inside the mind
How much time can you spend?
Seeking out,maintaining reticence
In and out. Harmonic, higher sense
Symbols come across and wind
Getting lost in blame's device

An immortal face
I see as this place
brings us all together and we come alive
Possibilities
come increase the need
fuel the fire necessary for this wild ride
Oh, you know where you want to go
The harder it is the better it is
To stand strong with unbroken hope
After all that you've been through

All of the answers are right in front of me
All of the answers are right in front of me
You can't hide away the truth

Lay the judgement's blade
down on the floor
If we open wide
We can touch  the sky without the doubt inside our ways
Contemplate the humankind's direction
Read between lines of every public gesture
Eliminate the useless information
it conceals the light upon the infinite wonders
Symbols come across and wind
Getting lost in blame's device

An immortal face
I see as this place
brings us all together and we come alive
Possibilities
come increase the need
fuel the fire necessary for this wild ride
Oh, you know where you want to go
The harder it is the better it is
To stand strong with unbroken hope
After all that you've been through

And as we question every single night
listen to the voices, they are yours for a right
All of the answers are right in front of me
All of the wonders are here to set you free
You can't hide away the truth

Commotion
Life can be so strange when you're standing in the middle of it all
but so wonderful at the same time

Watching the motions
tracing the lines
Each day I find
it leads to inside

Sow what is spoken
thread what is open
never stop hoping
for what's up in the sky

I can't tell you
what's up ahead
but I can show you how it is
to face the fear instead

What's the cost of letting go of doubt and believing in yourself?
It's shedding off the skin of another that tries to bind your spirit
A bitter thought is cast aside if you let the heart guide you
That's why I won't waste my time
Or my flesh
Or my blood
On the pains of the petty lies

I can't change the fact
paths have been lain and walked across the earth before me
It's an original act
the notes seem the same but their blend makes a different story


I'm so tired of sleeping
wired in dreaming
someone please pull the chord
and bring me back home

Call singularity
combine divine polarities
Grant me the clarity
I don't plan to walk alone

A song to my mom
I could be completely alone
don't want to deal with the world outside
I'm sitting down in the corner and crying...crying

You carry so much warmth in your heart
to blanket me from the coldness of my own mind
you are the home of my roots in hope
that I planted on Earth
Do you know what your worth?

There aren't many words that can express
how unconditional
the love you give I must be blessed
I must be so lucky
to be your blood, your family
I can never take it for granted
don't you know you're why I grow
into a better man

momma's love

The shelter and the truth of your words
leads me without fear into the night
protects me from myself when I'm lying...lying

A child becomes a foolish adult
but never forgets the grace of your love
I continue to rise above
because you never stopped believing
Momma I never stopped dreaming

There aren't many words that can express
how unconditional
the love you give I must be blessed
I must be so lucky
to be your blood, your family
I can never take it for granted
don't you know you're why I grow
into a better man

momma's love

Oh it's my turn
to sing a lullaby
to you
make us touch the sky
you gave me life
I can't deny

Orion's Travel
If there ever would be a time to intervene within this scene that casts a perplexing, but keen screen over the dimenional light beam that shines through our seams.
Now would be the time.
Divinity wipes off the sooty look about a human being refreshed like a phoenix through flames of infinity that he stepped through willingly just to see what it would do.
At that point as he feels the process of skin to ash, ash to dust.
He realizes how he would rewrite his new life.
Casting aside the past he once called home and embracing the thought of being alone with only his bones, ****** altered spirited with the scent of a celestial cologne, the undertone remaining from what once was of him.
So that though he may travel on a road of a different direction, he is subtly  aware of his original complexion.
A soul is everlasting, but a body goes through wear and tear to share itself like a ***** for the universe.  
Can it only be that we are supposed to go through this cycle of living through each body and understand the vain, pain, suffering, smothering and uncovering with out attaining nirvana until we run through it all? Why must we only have a memory of a past life?
I want to live in a simultaneous construction without combustion so that I may see, feel, breathe, create, destroy, believe and never fully hold on to one emotion.
Let me ride down the hill and find the potion to transform me into the ocean.
Interstellar sea, let the beggar be.
The archer over me, a banner for the free.

Into the storm
Countless* dreams, vary in scenes, a fine, silver-line between *memory and fantasy
Each moment manifests a different plain to rest the tail of an incomparable, natural power that distresses
Many of importance and significance to the objective and subjective mind placed within it's relevance
To the universe, death and birth, comparitive worth, is a waste in each turn of the earth
So unbound by the sounds of distracting crowns of falsely owned ground
A leap is made with no dismay, with a reassurance in the smile that everything is ok

Paint it fades
Shelf’s collapsing off the walls
A painted face
Skin is peeling it comes off

Shed the light
Leave the pain
A feathers sorrow in the rain
A wilted flower yet seeds remain
To grow and rise again and again

A grievance
A responsibility
Change has come so blessed be
To those alive to carry a legacy

Share the freedom
Compassionate wisdom
Braid the heritage into blood
Threaded carefully from what was

Glory has passed a torch and flame
That eternally burns but never the same
I ask you truly what is in a name
After all is said and done
What path, what way, what home did you make?

My grandfather made a path into all of your hearts, and that is where he is. This is his home.

I'll make it
My focus will never be lost
speaking my passions at the cost
of being a normal person, a family and having a boss
I walk among the world slow motion as they pass by
watching my devotion take in hearts on the fly
no mistake
I never stand still
shake the doubt away relax and be chill
I grow not change
work through the pain
I'll never be numb
resoluting from
so many times
by the faith in these lines
by the faith in these signs
that people create and design
for the sake of my life
avoiding strife indefinitely
but it's more like a knife cutting me
not letting me be
so I stand up strong don't stop until I'm there
I never tried to justify or wonder if they cared
so I breathe into the moment, rise to the occasion
steal the sun's light and watch you take all of my rays in

I'm telling you that your boy is going to make it
they can hate, but your boy is going to make it
when the smoke clears
I'll be the one
still standing
yeah your boy is going to make it

I'm moving to South America
Modern magic can marvel with metal.....

21st century, is it all what you thought it to be?

I see a world without an empire
a kingdom of many kings
this is the first of the age to fall on fire
from the tyranny it brings

I'm looking at excitement
but it's not the kind I want
why does it have to get violent
for one to see the point

I don't want the world to end
but I can't be on my own
we make the choice to live my friend
why does it have to be alone?
A paper trail to rule at best
empty to die without love
You can't bury this weight upon your chest
we all are meant to love

we rush for what what reason?
where are we heading?
towards judgement and treason
then regret I will be shedding

it's funny to see the past
continue to repeat
hit the hammer on the head
like you never skipped a beat


I don't want the world to end
but I can't be on my own
we make the choice to live my friend
why does it have to be alone?
A paper trail to rule at best
empty to die without love
You can't bury this weight upon your chest
we all are meant to love

It's not too late to save us all
but you like the edge of power and death
does it get you off or fill your soul?
because I don't get it....I don't get

I'm scared to think that we're on the brink
but I'm not letting it get to me
still in time, how many signs
do we need for prophecy?

I don't want the world to end
but I can't be on my own
we make the choice to live my friend
why does it have to be alone?
A paper trail to rule at best
empty to die without love
You can't bury this weight upon your chest
we all are meant to love

It begins with one, but what is the key component for
the ultimate fortitude to do so?

When we confine to self, we ultimately feel alone, but when we think as the world and let go of ego, we in turn can lose our identity.

Gather the information provided by our environment, explorations, and experiences, avoid taking sides on any of it and really see the whole of it all.
You'll see an organism of truth. Truth!

So Hungry
After all the flavor is lost
Will you still chase the taste?
Free and untamed to breathe, arrange
The lights that cross your eyes

A dotted line
to walk beside
but you still wander off
you think your belly's empty
consuming everything
your eyes can get pretty big

Oh collide
and burst inside

If you want to try to get rid of it all
lie awake and wonder why it came to a cost
of love and reasons to carry on
go on with purging
all the one's who help to feed you
go ahead and see what happens when we reach your throat
your hunger is a lost cause

Why so hungry
to keep on judging
a friend
it looks so lovely
but is it worth it
until the end
cover the beauty
by all of your hurting again
**** off the lovely
for jealous hunger
that cools and smothers
and gets right under
the fire

you're all alone

could you catch
the winged key unattached to
the necklace that you stole from the true
I hope
you don't
In fact I know
you won't
because gravity don't take too kind to flying

all you want
is to have it stolen or bought
to earn it with the right work just ain't you
A slave is what you are
to the grudges you hold onto
many times I've seen it done before

one in control
and dominion over souls
is just as wrong as letting go of hope
it takes many create
a stong and healthy place
so why the **** can't we ever get it right?

Train Wind
Cool the temperature because you're causing immense friction
That I cant follow because of the wild wind whistling
From your speed up and down mood swinging no decision
On the thought at hand where's your plan Stan are you listening?

I'm sick and tired of people talking big, but walking in the shadows
Shut it up unless you step it up and stop acting so small and shallow
In your ignorance nothing is fixed and you remain shameful and hollow
We have to open more doors to afford a better connection to the main core so follow

Don't speak until you're spoken to or if you know what you're saying is worth the weight of looking like a   fool
If it's for being cool then you can sit back on the stool because this game doesn't exist that you long and drool for I'm trying to soar, but I feel torn because my heart is worn on the sleeve for everybody and its slowly rotting like the earth that we've all forgotten while we're beating and robbing from ourselves and the soul of the world taking innocence from the boys and the girls and making them dealing with the broken promises of granted wishes as long as they give all of their reminiscing to the past and continue to fall just like their parent's and hit the wall, shotgun call, but then they're missing the lessons that taught them along the journey that teaches us how to be strong
I'm pleasing the universe while righting the wrong.

Running For Nothing
Find out who you are before the grave calls your name
searching for an origin just to know what you're running from
ignoring the initial steps and seeking glory before the gain
Wanting no one to follow, but hoping for the praise

Sick of society and you disregard the beauty
in a tree that became the river that ran it's roots towards the ocean
full of breath but holding it in for the motion that looks pretty
I can count the days that we dwell on the petty

Just reach around and rip the past out if you need to
what will it really do for you
Other than take away the wisdom wanting to shine through
the place where they teach, preach, where they speak
about the journey's and depths of the human heart we seek
Is accessed after letting go of everything we've ever known
Do you really want to disappear before they actually hear you
Or barrel on through until you finally reach the peak

Sparks are flying all around cascading like a dance of falling angels
We haven't fallen so far as to burn, but enough to feel buried in the dirt
The difference in existence is the way that causes the yearn
to to feel the metals grind against each other and the will to deal with the hurt
A flower in the wind whose seed is carried away to find a new place to call home
While we wilt and go back into the ground, we learn that this is only the beginning of what it is to live and grow

Only So Much
Sometimes it's not your battle
Though you feel it's your fight
Corruption in the field
discerning what's not right

Can't connect the anger
to fist and flesh for best
behaving as a gentlemen
I can attest

Though ferocity runs strong
In the veins of this beast
When loved ones face demons
They must fight hard at the least

Stepping in would only shatter
The growth from the scars
So I tend to the mending
so they still believe in stars

Speaking what's already known
Reflecting their heart for clarity
In times they need it for hope
When all feels like catastrophe

Diminish my own evils and tempters at the door
So my loved ones know if one can do it, they can too and more
Breathe in and steady your blade
My love endure, you'll gain
Each step against your enemies
Your will I will sustain

I'll save you
So soothe me with melodies so I can sleep away the pain.
Things get strange, but you stay the same.
A thought so soon I ever dread, would bury me with it for I swear to the grave it'd never be said.
Slice your heaven so I may taste the grace of a place I may never see,
for I fight for love neverending in purgatory....
However I will find barrier, and be the carrier of a heavy heart that longed for peace
and it will out weigh the walls strength with ease.
Breaking the demon barricade and setting you free to see the world with me eternally.

Standing and Listening
As the wind blows through the trees
I hear a voice of ease within the breeze
the gentle brush upon my skin
soothing frustrations bringing out a grin

Standing more than the normal would
thinking of life, the bad...and the good
listening for wisdom inside this plane
of existence corrupted by the will in vain

Sustain the feeling that courses in truth
grant ability, a steady increase, a boost
chill the emotions that try to subdue
the mentality of burning down the totality of reality that ensues

These stars will guide as does the river
towards an ocean of discovery that will always deliver
I stake all I have on faith against the empty
for beauty is in everything....and there is plenty
**Faded Fate**
Ink bleeds and sets in,
but the paper can be burned by a candle lit fire

To hold treasure in boxes and bones in gold crates
Last long enough to melt or decay in another's hands

One tries to surface Soul by telling the tale on flesh
And yet it too can be burned, scarred, eliminated

My pen writes beautifully, and organic onto my paper sponge
The ink bleeds like a river streaming vowels and consonants  into a chest of  melting, transmuting,
pure gold made by process in Soul and journey

There is no limit to adventure or bounds on idea
We only need to know we're alive to know the rest

I will fly when I need to and so will you
Pain is a wake up call

Deserving an immortal impression on Earth is asking to be the stones, the rivers, all life within the cycle
After learning how it is to live as all and move as one, then your mark shall be made

During this time, in the middle of it all, our words must continue to grow inside and push out infections
Which deter progression in truth, life, love, justice and happiness in the home of freedom.

If ever we are without paper and without flesh to bear our words, we must know there's another like a manuscript.

I will mark my words first and foremost in my heart so that they will never die

For Spirit never dies

Writer's block
I should be writing this down
but I'm afraid that I soon might forget
after already constructing a purpose
the action must be acted
very thought provoked
I could make a big success
if I were to get passed the clumsy mess
of road blocks and melting clocks slowly turning away
So many ideas waiting to be unleashed
but ****** mind doesn't move very well
not unless the tide growls from the belly

Well this piece of paper isn't really blank at all
just a blurry life in motion with lines you catch on the wall
one tries to follow, but will only find
they're chasing themselves
in the blink of an eye

Stand Front
In the heart of the fire a temple burns higher
Call me a liar
Do you believe the same as they deceive?
Instinct over spirit recieved
bested by the animalistic quality to falter from taking charge of the fallacy or to clear a path for the bard that beckons to be more than an aspect of frivolity
diminished by ecclesiastical polity
Thine ego spreads like a **** among the flowers growing faster with an unquenchable thirst for power devoted to consumption and the benefit of itself til sour and nothing else
Thus creating an afterimage that resembles all that we desire with all that we pretend to be
Half the ecstasy wired, that we could actually free higher from what comes naturally, divine to masters who wield compassion and invulnerable humility
as a weapon of civility
Surpass the masses' ability
Grasp the clasp of immortal nobility
Endire and outlast the harassment willingly to channel all the blessings of grace it will carry thee

What we all try to do
The working man gets home at night
after working nine to nine
He's trying to make it

We're speaking out all around the world
reaching out to every boy and girl
who's trying to make it

The homeless hunger
while the rich are fed
why can't we just share the bread
we're all trying to make it

Mom and dad tell you what to do
because they care to see you pull through
as they're trying to make it

Here we are driving out on the road
looking out into the unknown
just trying to make it

I'm singing to you reaching out so far
all alone in the house with my guitar
while I'm trying to make it

You can judge a brother and his ways
but in the end we're all the same
just trying to make it

God can you please open up
the hearts of many that need your love
because we're all trying to make it

Just trying to make it

walking the night
As fog rolls in
dark contrast on the city falls
blending in lights and afterglows
singing tones that show the flight
of birds and their patterns they take each way
when the sun comes out to play
And Only freaks seek the moon
eclipsing doom making shadows over streets and gloom
moving their feet and try to emulate
the pretty fate of
daywalkers while they sleep
we give the worth our home and keep
as mother earth weeps
as it gets steep try to clean out the shaded spirits at our feet
while they feed on the one's who yearn to live out and learn
Innocence is ****** dry what can we save
while the vampires see slow motion after the grave
taking the blood and making us grey
when push comes to shove we're put to shame
no more veins no one's sane

Voids and voices
I'm hearing voices once again
having visions in my head
of reflections never said
thought it could lead to reaching from the shadows
becoming translucent
no one can ever get used to that
I'm screaming into the void
obsessing on nothing
standing in front of confirmation
you won't see me no matter the distance
caught within the haze
memory fades away
living but not alive
disappearing in strides
as soon as I try to connect
awareness I soon neglect
directions I soon forget
back and trapped again to recollect

Soon I will be
Translucent like a ghost yet solid as a rock
one in the same from the small up to god
flowing and giving so that I shall receive
all that is needed to protect and believe

letting truth be free without worry or fear
seeing the world and holding it more dear
to the heart I take every breath the earth has
for so long as it breathes, my spirit shall last

a hero of faith to the universe and creation
defending expression and pushing beyond limitations
I beckon the ancients to grant me their strength
so that I may help spread a message of forgiveness and respect

Able to bring righteousness and love into cities
and open up the hearts of shallow and pretty
take pity on evil that is crooked and blind
enlighten communities and blossom all minds

destiny or fate to pattern the fabric
to navigate tragedy happiness and havoc
speaking of which all of you can grab it
in between the lines you're more than worthy to have it

coincidences anomalies miracles and fallacies
purposes and gravity prophecy and clarity
all will be what already is
infinity's cold yet warm as it gets

A Minor Blerb
Staring into the limitless
An infinite spectrum of qualities
Devoted to expressing the duplicitous nature of divinity
To construct reality to hold both fabrication and purity at such equal esteem perplexes the pieces that perceive the local frame for such a minuscule amount of time and yet it binds the boundaries of evolution, attaching string after string, until every good thing becomes muddled and unclear
Not from hatred, nor fear or depravity
But from the tumultuous distinctions made when a pattern found itself being in rear to itself
And then it finds it's equilibrium once the fluidity of origin reverts attention from every intention muscled from the nudge of inner tranquility
They code or key in the magic of three
Nature begets life begets virtue to enlighten the majesty
*LightningRider*
We dream inside of black boxes and paper locked words
Realms we believe to envision the messages we have heard
From beyond or around us, no matter the muse that speaks
We try with strings and effects to deliver the magic we need
Unable to capture a true creator's glory
We are only capable of reflecting imitated stories
We cry and yearn to be like the Gods
Instead of having the wisdom of knowing our true spot
Become the being that you are, without acting like you're more
Thus ascend the chrysalis you remain to explore
Each of us a creek, a vein, a stream, a river
Connected to an ocean of energy that flows on forever and ever
From root to limb a tree will reach
A learned lesson they continue to teach
Naysayers spin and spin.....and spin and spin
Drawing perplexing circles, with never a win

Hold on to your dreams. Protect them and do not forget them.

Distressing Wisdom
Retention of repetition in modified replication reflects the information of evolution's disquisition demographic disposition to ferry the merry who listen
Psych out the vex and hex the wicked complex
Circumstantial reason in the season its civil unrest
Complacent implications ignited by degradation
The muted separation of lungs and aspiration
A few maybe more to mob the truth be unexplored
Forsaken by tradition of wishing never more
Disputing time and relativity inability to be given free
Verse the heart though be not amazed by the lack or hidden empathy
Commiseration of unmitigated hesitation casting darkness before the integration of our heart is a meager part devoted to the subtle structure of ones nature developed underneath the poise of well built character  to divide and conquer if one were to try and squander the real power and only wander for it's those very same demons of the past that are now used as fuel for the fires of the future. How will you temper the flames that burn so?

Soul Story
Though I know what it is I still choose to hide within it
A paradox to entertain
enveloped by change
Though I know what it is I still remain
Thoughts wander invariably
The labyrinth of quest
Is it the nature of desire that truly drives the ego?
Why then, do we fear it?
Though it brings everything into question I still thrive on discovery
These chemicals mix and bring about the same result
An expression of where the soul plays
It's perfect because it is and nothing is perfect too
Though an ego can be trouble, it's the catalyst for more
A secret God is the only God that will remain true
Harsh voodoo playing on the tongue
All to acknowledge ye be the bird that sung
Or the sword that swung
Or the bell that rung
Though it carries vanity, it also brings a melody
I see the spiral
I see the light
I hear the halo's birth song every single night
And I praise its glory in every way
I love you, dear shadow
You are not an enemy
In truth I know I am the one that beckons the
And though it plays a part, it always meet an end
In silver lines and diamond hills
A students will, a master's skill
A lovers passion, a sage's blessing
Collect the lightning
breathe the fire
Inherit the earth and waters
grow them higher
See the planes
Accept insane
Forgive the method of those in pain
Though the struggle urges to fall back, I adhere and then move forward
Integrate
Purify
Consecrate
Activate
Let it roll
Ride in faith
Spirit tides calm the ocean
The music was heard and the dance began
Onward into the infinite wonder

Doubt is nothing...
The challenge of destiny is self control
from letting go
the fates do not ask for you to accept
they only ask for one to respect

Though many can be blinded by misinterpretation
Many can also be fulfilled by obliterating discrimination
to have the question if this is for you or can you believe is fine
but to let opinions of other over take you is a waste of time

We are meant to lead yet follow in and making the footsteps of firm belief
the journey sheds light on the discovery of relief
once you find that your answers are there and very clear
the voices in and out of your head become just something to hear

No longer shall you adhere to the whims of judgement
to the fallacy of labels
but become a beauty of grace in triumph
against all who try to make your foundation unstable

Devour
Weary and wanting from the ache inside
No emotion at any depth I try to hide
A hollow pit waiting for something to burn
You can fill up the spaces but there’s always a way out
Down through the tunnel and out to be more
Th urge once again rises and the search continues
No absolute but a constant hope to be fulfilled
Something sufficient
Providing contentment
Would the pursuit transform into another
I beg for a new world
Or perhaps a new heart
No matter how hard I try
Trying is the opposite of actuality
A veil over reality by our thoughts and layers of excuses to manifest
In the end there is nothing and in the beginning there was nothing
The gap that leads into infinity
An understanding of a black hole empathically
Maybe it really does hold a universe
How natural is it to be empty and yet create boundaries of space and time
We perceive the outside but in essence is it truly empty
Or is it a hole even?
Perhaps we perceive a sphere but in higher dimensions we’d see it as what we understand to be a tunnel
Where would it take us
I think it will only take us to another land where we translate the hunger into a new form
The multiverse is just another reason to keep searching after we’ve only found half the answers in this one
It seems we never even finish what we start
Because we fear the end
We’ve made it fatal in our minds
When our soul knows nothing may be permanent here
There is a universe that came before all of this
where we truly exist
And know this is a game that we’ve played for eons
To entertain ourselves
To evolve as the divine always has
Transcending labels because it moves regardless of our insignificant judgements
Will the static stagnation into a dynamic situation
Simultaneous reaction
Awake while in a dream
Looking for an opening and the maze will always grow
Let it go
