I think I must be dead and my body moulders, rests
imperfectly in a carved wooden tomb. Secreted

beneath the malted mud, a restless corpse twitches,
mind set on deceiving; images of alien fingertips
skimming supple skin.

Truly, I have never been more content, as my pieces
decay and dismember and chest rises with bloated gas

breathing such sure imitation against
bleached white weaving whale bones as

the machinations, these movements of worms
whisper, vibrating your words within each unseeing ear,
surely, yes, no heart beats now to hear them.

You love me, say my worthy companions, and oh
do I love you too, most magnificent apparition, sweet
spectacular spectre, conception of minds greatest trick.

I must slumber eternal.
I must lie beneath shaded trees where the birdsong and
shafted sunlight and sweet taste of dewed grass lends

life to decimated, deceased thought of what was once
concious, forcing disbelieving perception, fabricating
a phantom, forging the incredible wonder of you.

I think I must be dead, for I think I drew you up
inside my head.

I only believe in things because I believe in love.
I do not believe in knowledge.
I do not believe in power.
The government.
The community.
The people.

Disbelief and misunderstanding.

I believe in love.
I believe in the power of the people through love.
I believe in us because I believe in love.
A passing thought. A small exaggeration. Not the best, but a passion.

My mind may be weak,
but the words i've spoke,
have not gotten their rightful moments,
have been built just to get broken,
and that wasn't what I had chose,

For my words have spoken,
louder than your screams on froze over mountain tops highest peaks,
so loud they will make the snow lung and leap down,

My words have been stronger then body's covered in satin gowns,
But my words are like ghost towns making people white and corps like,
But unlike the pen and paper that is silent,
I can speak these tales of tyrants to beauty,
but I never complete this duty for my mouth feels like foreign tongues,

I try to speak from the heart inside my lungs but words,
and towards the end of my spiel,
I feel like what I said wasn't real,
or the appeal I was going for.

you shut a door on me and my thoughts,
like your my boss who doesn't have to listen to my words,
and discord all the things i've endured.

I've matured enough to know I can't be asking for a cure,
but maybe if you were able to listen to me,
and stop disagreeing to start with,
I'd feel like I wouldn't have to pitch my life story as real,
instead of its normal appeal of a called myth,
because with my ****** life I'd make up **** about what happened?
no one believes you

And these dark thoughts haven't left since the cold morning,
The night before I had once again tasted loneliness and his bitter sting,
And the empty dance of sweat and liquor,
The bodies lost in the night's embrace.

I have feared for my life too many times before,
A will to strike my own heart and and leave it bleeding,
I have walked this line again and again,
A mistake made three too many times.

The mistake of thinking anyone could want me,
To strip my soul of all that feels whole for a shot at empty passions,
The choice to throw myself, to be swept away in impossibility,
To believe for one second, that I could be desired.

But I am cracked, never whole, this sick soul lingers,
And I ache for the possibility that to be touched would heal my pain,
But that is no reality, and I know it is surely not mine,
And maybe I just want to feel empty.

If it means not waking up again on that cold morning.

I come to thee in a time of need
Asking to help make the darkness flee
God forbid if we will be
I know my wrongs but you chose not to see
At your boiling point you would say
All I asked was for you to show me the way
Leave the darkness and wishes will come as it may
Now i might not have another day

Street full of people
People with broken dreams
Buildings soaked in grief
Shared disbelief

Make a wish
Make a wish
Make a wish

These grand architectures
Built over fragile foundations
Trusts are a rarity
One eyed perceptions
Safe haven for distorted images
Walls are flimsy
Pillars of love can hold no more
Like a pack of cards
Everything will be rubble
Will be buried deep
The dream of humanity
Wind blown
The deserted lands
Will be testimony
Of the uncertainties
We had within

basically alive
these are your arms
they feel like words
stirring me drowsy..

fading the sounds
these are your arms
chasing my heart
into the rivers...

i just can't believe you're hugging me..after all this

Its so sweet to see all these young people
Wanting to fall in love
I sit back and laugh at their ignorance
When you fall in love you must then fall out of love
And when you fall you will eventually hit the ground
You cannot stay in flight forever
Even if your hands grapple for every branch jutting out of the cliff on the way down
There is not a way you will not hit the ground
They tell me someday I will just keep falling
Endlessly
And I'll never break into a million pieces again
But I laugh in their faces and say Its not possible.
One must always return to the ground eventually.

Solemn Surprises
In happy crevices
A revelation
A confrontation
Disbelief.
The good kind.
The bad kind?
Sweet disposition
I never want to leave.
