Haiku 21- Safe Haven
Tick tock rapping of the clock. A cold dead sham of another mans cog. So lay it down on the hangman's block. To sick to see how it shepherds its flock. It holds no rime masquerades as reason. A facade of truth Yet I call it treason. It puts up the walls to the common man's prison. A tool to be used for a stronger man's mission. Time a device of unity. Implementing science bordering necessity.   Auctioned off by the leaders of  economy. You always work hard but are left no time to dream. Dreaming costs who ever owns your time. They look down at you and threaten your life. So you numb yourself   just to make a dime. Soon you grow cold lost in the grind. In youth there is imagination. Unhindered not subject to discrimination. As they grow so to do their nations. Furthering thoughts yet short lived contemplation. For as you grow old you give your time to corporations. The more things change the more they stay the same. from the dawn of man to the information age. More time spent till your in your grave. Yet time well spent promises better days. So dont sacrifice your life for time. It all stands short in perspective eyes. A relative thought not a device that binds. Spend it happily for every day of your life.

Time
Maybe it’s your smile Or the way you style your hair Maybe it's the glimmer in your eyes when you deeply stare It might be the lightning, it might be the air Or maybe it's that calmness you unknowingly share I wonder if your looks may play any part Your dark brown hair, or your deep auburn eyes Your height, your skin, how are you so lean? The fact that you’re dressed sharp and clean. What can I say? That's also perfect And a little kiss might just be worth it. I wonder, do you think about me? Does it cross your mind that we might be? I hope that your good, and with that i bid goodbye Cause if i keep this up i won't sleep all night, You don't notice me, to you im long gone But I'll leave you now before my heart breaks at dawn.

What is it about you?!
Take me to the lamppost Where my heart goes to gleam Replace the fire with the spark from the sea See the way she radiates back at me Take me to the lamppost Where the light has dimmed See what once stood bright and constant now holding only things that became dark and exanimate Take me to the lamppost Where memories of the light Try to hold on best they can Though loss is drying, blurred in the mute sand Take me to the lamppost To what once was gold and blazen Remind me of what used to be Fire kindled through glass; and see! Take me to the lamppost Where I yearn to see the light That was once within.

Take Me to the Lamppost
Every time you wake up The moment must stop For a second, for two To just realize itself That the world is nothing without you Chronos is a cruel man Trying to get us old Trying to put us on the bad road But Not the time Nor the world Not the faults of mine Nothing would stop me From loving thee Nothing would stop me From trying to save the good part of me The good part of thee The good part of us

Nothing Can Hold Me Back
I was getting better even good I thought yeah, I was still thinking about you now and then and sometimes I would find my mind drifting off into memories but I stopped crying I stopped wishing and hoping for you to come back but today I saw you name not on purpose it just stood there staring at me. And for a moment I fell back back to wishing and hoping back to you. But I know it will faint again and it will get better slowly, but it will and till that moment I will look forward wishing and hoping.

Falling back
If you broke my arm I'd still ask you to sign my cast, And that is why I must go.

I guess I've dreamt of you for as long as I could read. So I imagine you. Large old buildings. Chilly weather practically all year Amazing accents. Amazing places to see and belong Probably amazing people.... A place so written about with rich amazing history. Please let me see you. Let all roads lead to us Let us happen in this life time.

As a young adult coming up into a world ablaze, it's hard to find guidance, wisdom and true help. Everyone literally has problems weight upon there shoulders so heavy making it almost impossible to lend a helping hand. It feels wrong to try and get something off your chest knowing someone's going through way worst things then you are. Most heard saying out of my 22 years is " this is life and it ain't pretty." Hearing this from my elders hurts because all it is telling me is that I shouldn't care about the pain the stress the feeling of being so close to death when all I want is to truly live a life of joy. " I've been there it'll get better, keep your head up" Tips on staying positive Tips on ways to free the pain To lift the stress to truly free yourself from depression. It's hard to find Nowadays everyone's just trying to stay a float as if we're all on the Titanic waiting for the iceberg to emerge. "Wake up!, Stay awake!, Believe in thou self as you will become the man you needed coming up" Thank you

Nowadays
giving up isn't an option when you want to go home. you've got to fight, you're going to cry, you're going to hurt, time after time after time, you're going to have to sacrifice, and give and give and forgive, and forgive and give and give, you're going to bleed, drop by drip by drip, you're going to have your heart, ripped to shreds, over and over and over, and even when you think you're finally numb the feelings will come back in waves upon waves you will never be left to rest in this world. test upon test, will occur, until it's your time to leave, and may you leave in the best and the most beautiful and painless of ways. may you find peace, comfort and happiness, may you find your way home, may it be everything you wished, wanted, and more ~

I've had an unsettling Feeling since 2 am A bit frustrating Your love is dissipating I woke up with a thought And a wretched feeling Through my gut I think I'm ****** You're in my arms I have you close And it might cause me harm But for now I enjoy your charm I hope it's not fake Your words and actions But I know you lie That makes me quake Don't waste my time Because my heart It's on the line And I'm just in line To try and call you mine I wish I was first But that's just fine Just don't make me out to be a swine.

The more I tell myself yes The more reason I'm led to believe no The more I tell another yes The more reason they're led to believe no The more I tell us both yes The more reason we're led to believe no

Hopeless Facade
I stole two of your clothes and wore it everytime I miss you. You owned me without you knowing. I followed your fooststeps to your way home on a rocky road. Your shadow was the closest thing to me. And I was happy with that. I like it that way. I like it when you sway your arms, as if it will reach me. I waited for you to look back at the girl who have been with you all the time. No words. Silent. Hopefull. Prayful that one day when you wake up, I am all you need.

All I want
Just fathom for a moment, someone actually understanding what you want to be heard. Having someone nod or smile at the fact that they have the same issue or looking at some painting and feeling the same emptiness and sadness as you do. Just that the mind can comprehend such a fact that someone else could understand such a disaster of a title wave. Everything that was left behind, they saw the same wreckage as you.

How do you do it? Tell someone that even during waking day She's all you ever think about That when she's right there with you it doesn't even feel like you're dreaming And no, it's not like that I have dreams of moonlit beaches where we make small talk until you just laugh and say "Wake up, the moon has to go away. It's morning time my sweet." You say "I'll see you tonight, tommorow or whenever next we meet." I dream of streetlamps lighting up park benches where we've met for the first time about 17 seperate winter nights just in this past july Last night we had dinner, the conversation was lovely It started with some awkward smiles deeply laden with sincerity, It moved on to telling each other about the other, and we left with a brief squeeze of the hand. That's all I've ever gotten, and I'm quite content with that So the stage is set, not sure what the play is we're set to see But she picked it, I'm sure it'll be wonderful You have a different name tonight, just like you always do The ballerina's where intoxicating their grace was Endless as they swam through the air I felt like a trespasser, struggling to breath When we left that night however, our goodbyes were more distant It's been getting more and more like that recently, I recall a night some ten years ago I could have sworn I remembered your face for almost 3 hours after I begrudgingly woke But no Your shifting smile, and timeless eyes I like to think that's because you're getting closer And not because I'm a tad too late Were you here already? And I just couldn't pick you out of the crowd? You know trains in the city, awfully hard to focus Or perhaps you know of horses and mountains I'm not one to judge I hope I see you tomorrow, I look forward to our night To our day, To our mornings and to what we'll say But if you have to leave for good my dear, please just find a way I have a P.O box you know It's rather simple really I just would love a photo of you, to remember our night in Sicily Or pick one of your favorites, they were all suitible I'll check my mail every day Waiting, hoping That I can see your face.
