#elsewhere
I will find a space and I will call it mine
I will make it warm and open up the doors
And share it only with Time

passing overhead
clouds with their bottoms clenched, rain
on parades elsewhere

I long to be elsewhere
Away from it all --
From the people I know,
And from the things I'm used to
I long to be elsewhere
A place I've yet to know --
To discover and to be free
And perhaps to get to know the person in me

What is the day without the
sunlight? What is the dark
without moonlight?
What are we without us?
What am I without you?
Would I find myself like
a ragged dog dying out
on the road?
Would I find the solace on
a world away from a tattered
throne?
Do you wish for me to beg
for an undying lie to come
to light?
What is a rose without it's
thorns? What will I be in
a life that's not yours?

foggy inclines, green saplings
and pines: you always loved
the water.
you long for
elsewhere, but
the currents stirred and
you swept into the fir.

I dreamt of elsewhere
But elsewhere doesn't accept the broken
No person wants something that is broken
Would give anything to a thing that is cracked
Or is missing pieces, gaps unfilled
No one takes a thing so close to destruction
It's not worth the time or the attention
Elsewhere is for the people who were filled with hope, joy, and goodness
I once again forgot that I am hopeless, in despair, and darkness
So I traveled alone with my brokenness and empty voids
To a place that nobody could ever find or would ever want to discover
Nowhere
That's where the broken go
The ones with holes and missing pieces in their heart
Those who are labeled as darkness and hopeless
With no laughter, no joy, not even a smile
There are others hear that make the requirements
But we may not talk to one another
All our faces are blurred
For just as on Earth we must live behind a mask of foolery
A state you were always alone with
And you still feel the overwhelming feeling of loneliness, deep within
I have lived in Nowhere for some time
And it the closest thing I have to calling a home
I am from Nowhere
I grew up in Nowhere
I am going Nowhere
The place between life and death is Nowhere
Nowhere is for the people who won't be accepted by Death
And are no longer needed in Life
But they ultimately choose in the end
I am Nowhere for I am still making the decision

I must go away now
Leave this town
My life bundled in a town
For as a child I fell in my head's crown
And it has caught up with me
Making me someone I never have dreamt before
Our hearts found each other through these people of the sea
But I have become dark and destructive to the core
You mustn't give time for this wretched soul
Please walk out of my heart's door
For I destroy everything, and I don't wish you to pay this toll
I shan't stay even though I want to , but this mind is as black as coal
I love you, I shall love you past eternity
That is why I mustn't be selfish
I have to escape the pity
Running away from everything everyone shatters my heart like china dish
It's pieces are spread all throughout town and I am left with nothing
Farewell, my friend for I was born elsewhere
I thank you for all the years of laughter and company, all so very touching
I tell you the truth when I say: You are the greatest thing to have entered my life, and in there
You were always the light in all this darkness, and that, my dear, will never change
Your happiness is what is important in this exchange
I love you from a pure and unmeasurable love
This person who cares for you and loves you more than all
Goodbye, Best Friend

I don't really know how to explain this
To put it in simple terms:
I believe I was born into the wrong family, place, situation, and character
To be elsewhere would save me from whatever destruction I might inflict on myself
To be with people who make you feel whole, who make you feel understood
To be in a place with no past label, a blank slate
To be through different hardships
To be a different person
A better person
Love and to be loved
There will be hardships
But we would have each other
And I would feel love for the first time
The family, the friends, the people of elsewhere
Would fill this void which is my heart
I feel so empty
I feel so alone
But in elsewhere I'd never feel so alive and free and loved and cared for

for years I searched for new paths
as if the only thing that really mattered
was to get elsewhere as soon as possible
this shoreless thirst connects
my little matter
with my oceans of dream
everything breathes solvability
and my mind creeps up
only those walls that
I cannot handle
and lurks like an owl
through your woods
over here you don't drink coffee
without some liquor
the temple was built
for naked dancers
and this love is my resource
my resource for some divinity

I understand this is hard for you
A woman whom could not govern her own
So as to reside in a greater power
In which this hope has rescued you
I understand your concern
That I will have no such one to place my blame on
But oh, you must see
That much more profound happiness
May very well be found elsewhere
In a world that which does not provide
Such an easy excuse to these troubles
You must understand, simply as I do,
That one or both are wrong,
So that these endless quarrels are useless
Let me believe in my logic and you in your fairytales
And fulfill your hunger for strife
Elsewhere

If only temporarily,
the Milky Way
took up residence
along my spine today.
I can still feel, and even
see it, softly glowing there
although I know, rationally,
it chooses to live elsewhere.

Her name was Mystery
She loved poetry, so I thought I’d write her some
Hangnails always lived on the sides of her thumbs
The same thumbs she used to type up her future book ideas with
Music flowed through her body like waves in the ocean
She fell in love with characters she’ll never meet
But she had so much hope
Optimistic, she was
She danced with the hillsides of mountains
And taught me about aliens
She swore she was from Elsewhere
I guess Mystery is trapped inside a fake reality
A world she created herself
Mystery loved movies
She told me she wanted to be in some, one day
But I told her she didn’t need to be fictional
And she said
“Maybe I already am”

Wood broken
Steel bent
Life jacket
Broken mast
One intact
Chewed up oar
Part of bow
Some of rail
Looks like keel
Flogged to bits
Was once a boat
Someones joy
The mighty sea
Did not want
This little one
To escape from
Its horrific jaws.

I don't know what I'm searching for,
(I didn't know I was looking for love)
I don't know what I'll find in store,
(I didn't know I was looking for love)
And even though we don't talk anymore,
(I didn't know I was looking for love)
Carried a lot of faith , but I need more,
(I didn't know I was looking for love).

Over those cragged mountains
and beyond that wavering sea,
Where not even language can go
Nor my imagination can flee.
But if I could glide
~Over and beneath~
Perhaps you could see
Similarity in those,
Lost forgotten dreams.
Rational thinking doesn't
Complete the picture for me.
Bound by natural laws,
It is from this, I wish to be free.
But when my mind teeters on that brink
Of those worlds beyond, I can think.
Perhaps I've lost it,
And if so you can have your business.
But be minded that there is a fruit
That bares this length
To absolve this world
and swallow it whole!
Beyond this domain, solid and cold,
To which I travel, is the realm of my soul!

an empty room
is what it feels like
the part of you
which isn't supposed to be in this mental recess
you are elsewhere
but supposed to be happy
feel so much emotion
you should be thinking about your current standing
not about premonitions
you are elsewhere
though you want the bell to ring
you make no effort to forget him
you are elsewhere
and it feels right.
