On a high-rise estate, what have they done to your mind? We could always debate, but why waste the time? Lay here with me Lose yourself in the sky All we have is this moment Before another flies by

Fleeting moment
I like to throw lightning bolts, Way up into the sky when no one sees. Releasing every ounce of plight, Into a perfect balance. If you want to know this magic, You can come with me, We'll throw thunder through the trees.

Scrapbook Poem #165
My led sprained suddenly. Doctor came but could not cure that. My eyes became sprained by my hand while reading the blogs on computer. My stomach became sprained by hungriness after releasing from jail.

Releasing From Jail
A summer solace wind storm, Blowing against my face, ripping against my clothes, Out here, on the edge, thinking of you, Imagining your face, in this abyss trying to swallow me. It creeps against me, holding me to the ground, I didn't want to move anyway. But the shards of rain and ice pelting my skin, Causes pain, causes me to tear up. I hold your memories in my arms, I hold your gentleness in my breath, One last time, I hold you close to me, Then I let you go.

Releasing My Grip
My style says a lot about my personality, I agree. I love sweaters, long sleeves. They comfort me when the cold has no mercy on my skinny arms. They cover up the cuts both you and I made. It's also closed and fully covered, like me. Sometimes I admit it gets warm so sleeves had to be rolled up, but then a new part of me is exposed parts of me that I love but you don't. So at times I take the heat, not risking being bad but just because you don't like it doesn't make it bad so why then do you scold me! "We live in a warm country so sweaters aren't seen often" you always use the weather as an excuse for me to take off my sweaters then make scrapes on my exposed arms. but now it's going to take more than just the weather to stop me from wearing sweaters. Yes, I do intend on managing what I wear All those times you thought  wasn't listening, I heard you! I promise you, in time I'll take it off; but not before I heal.

A Moment in Life Twice Lost to Time The Swiss watch is my paradigm Residing now ‘neath Tampa Bay A moment in life twice lost to time The gift, from a wall of ice to climb In Luxembourg where I did stay The Swiss watch becomes my paradigm Research belaying the banker's crime Through valleys green, o'er bridges grey A moment in life twice lost to time While belching diesels share their grime And church bells call all souls to pray This watch, my truest paradigm In this city from another time In Europe's heart I found my way A moment in life twice lost to time Returning from this land sublime My walls and battlements fell away Rodania watch, my paradigm A moment in life twice lost to time 2 March 2000

A Moment in Life Twice Lost to Time (Villanelle)
I can’t help but feel these four walls closing in Once my sanctuary Now only my prison I can’t help but feel this air growing thick Chocking on the tension that has hold a death grip I was born restless Always looking for ways out With age, I’ve grown impatient Being fed only by doubts If I could hit the road now I think sanity would be saved But since I’m far from release I’m preparing to finally cave My best regards To you and yours I’ll be back someday Carrying a newly lit torch You can forget me if you need When I at last return I won’t be the same man you see I've tried to be strong I've played far too long Don't be offended if I no longer give a **** when you think I am wrong I've been looking for your encouragement But it has been all too clear Your selfishness is more important I have to soldier on I have to keep chin up When the day is to come Don't dare ever ask why I left Let's see how loud I can be silent If your eardrums aren't already busted Let's see how bright I can vanish Before you proclaim I'm acting out Good riddance and goodnight This is long overdue Years from now I might wonder what has become of you And smile
