Just happen
If only it was as easy as "oh, you're the one!"
I swear I saw it in your eyes
Fate wore a disguise
Until I recognized
It was
*You

Eyes of pain
On the outside I see everything I've ever wanted and need
I can see the hardship and times you've wasted on others
I see through your eyes of pain as you bleed

Your eyes tell a story and your mouth the background music
Creating a symphony of destruction you slowly decrescendo
Telling me I might be better off because you tell me you're SICK

I'm bound to you like misery loving company
Tears of blood rain down your face like bad make-up
Through those eyes of pain can you see me?

Can we self-destruct together I'll never let go
You think crazy is bad then look at me
Sin with me and nobody has to know

Call me foolish shame on me
For seeing something passed your eyes of pain
Just think of how much less it would hurt
Take a chance on me with nothing to lose and everything to gain

Heterochromia
Blue eyes on a clear day.
Bluer when the sun hits just right.
I've seen her eyes the bluest when the kid in the red shirt showed up.
Her eyes locked and practically green.
A color on her I've never seen.
Like the seasons changed, so did her eyes.
Eyes so far from the blue skies that once drew me to her.
Jealously struck.
She became a monster.
Green eyed distraught.
I might have lost her.

*Green eyed distraught when it's pouring outside and your sky tells no secrets.
Your petrifying skies that force me on my hands and knees until they bleed screaming
"SKY, WHY DOES HE THINK MY EYES ARE GREEN?"
Seemingly colorblind after he struck me with his lightning,
radiating me with yellows, blues, and pinks
and I'm sorry that I'm still dead and cold after everything.
He wore the wrong color.
Shirts as red as the passion he had only for blood.
As red as the stop signs that I will not let keep me from moving forward.
Deciding to run some place warmer.
Writing you a letter on a purple piece of paper.
Where the sun hits just right.
Signing it, "Sincerely, Your Darling Little Monster."
This is a "collab" I wrote with Fake Knees Her writing is in bold, and mine is in italics. http://hellopoetry.com/fakeknees/

The look she gives
Turns you inside out
Do you feel every emotion
Let it control you

ramblings in my mind #1
What's going to happen when you lead and nobody follows?
You say something with no comment or interaction?
Step left and they all go right
Asleep during the day while all those roam under the light
Afraid to be alone yet silence if your friend
Sunglasses at night just to keep from seeing your shadow
Even you know your ways are sinister
Controlling others unable to control ones self
Minds to play with but never yours
Misery loves company and that's why you adore
Living life full with a glass half empty
Is this as happy as we'll ever be?

Which path are we destined for
Life's choices are not always voluntary
Outcomes are our decisions

Remembrance
Look in the water and see your reflection

Prey
They call me a fiend all I do is dream in the dark
Looking around, nothing to see..where do I start?
A path is it's darkest without a sense of direction
Even more so without proper affection
Life ain't about the golden arches so you don't gotta love it
One day you'll walk in the planes high in the sky above it
Inside and out in me there's nothing to see
Penetrate my soul with a feeling of glee
Could it be, too far in the dark for we to see
Pardon me, but could this be my dark fantasy
No wait, too much on my plate, it's time to share my leftovers
We're in this mess till it's far from over, push over
Make some room, we might as well be good as dead
But with you by my side clarity is the light inside my head
Aug 2014 · 528
Turn down for what?
Feel the beat and never stop
Beat your feet until you drop
Drop what you're doing and come with me
With me I'll show you a world you've yet to see
See if you can look away
Away from reality, you've come to play
Play the song that will make me move
Move with me indulge the sweat
Sweat will make you more comfortable better yet
Yet is when you will have had enough
Enough to be had fill your satisfaction
Satisfaction, until I can get my..
My satisfaction creates the mood for the night
Turn up the music child, it'll be alright

What if
Memories memories go away
That's my conscience everyday
I make overthinking seem like a chore
You only hate when you do it more
Keeping me up late looking for security
Wishing my hands were full of yours and you right next to me
Sip life straight out the bottle and enduce
A time where time stops ticking and tocking an impossible truce
Unable to let go of your daily habits
Lay down on your mattress toss and turn from the madness eye lids peeled open from the sadness  
To think when I didn't know your name yet you looked my way and I couldn't fake it but
I have to forget before I remember
All these memories, burn deep it's the embers
All I wanted to do was love her
While my lungs inhale the smok.. my feelings are being smuthered

Not so 20/20 vision
Hot, like a mirage in the desert
Got me seeing what I want
A soul so warming and nice  
Visions of oasis making me look twice
A splash of water to the face
a refreshing way to clear the space
Between you and I where we lie
To take a step would I pay the price?
Visions of oasis making me look twice

Sky is over
Disconnect the clouds and in comes new life above the world living in abstract swirls of shape shifting paradise where everything is imagination guessing what the next cloud looks like silhouettes better yet a pillow of fluffy innocent air but do you dare to live above the rest?

Failure to love
Every day I live with heartache
Anytime of think I my mistake
Only one but that's all it takes
Can't have my cake and eat it too
When I said goodbye I'm done with you
I regret those words my wounds stay fresh and new
I'm a joker wild card a 20 waiting to bust
Ace up my sleeve just not enough
The flame I ignited in your eyes it started to fade away  
Dormant your love as the walls go up
I'm sorry those words just never enough

SSG
Your gaze lingered like a catchy tune
All by my lonesome, nothing to do
But stare at the ceiling and think of you
I flipped through some channels to distract myself
But it was clear in that moment I needed some help
Incendiary eyes to set me a blaze
Your look got my heart roaming a maze
And I'm amazed that this phase hasn't faded away
All because of your lingering gaze

QOS
Look of pure deception never able to appease
Cleo Patra drop a man down to his knees
Hand on hand let the feelings rush
A secret desire an temptation keep it on the hush
A vicious cycle no more like history
You to me to you to me
Write it in the books to commemorate your wasted time and effort look at the mess you made
Now watch as you relapse till the memories fade

Blue 10w
Blue skies turn blue eyes to blue lies to disguise
We kept evolving, but you digressed
Starting to forget about that thing in your chest
Beating so you can move on
But you are frivolous, without fingerprints
Would anyone even know you were here anymore?
A wraith with intent on subsisting ears and eyes shut
Conversing with yourself to make believe you are still relevant
While your posture is that of a "the fading"
I can't help and keep on debating
I extended my help and time for you, but always too cool
It's like you're stuck in senior year of high school
I'll always miss you I'm never ashamed
Why'd you have to go and change your name

Third eye blind
How do we reach the end if we are always running away
Scared to death scared to look scared to say
Anything and everything become so mute
Misunderstandings and turning up that's not cute
Running around entertaining yourself for the night
Waking up in the morning to start thinking will I be alright?
The mirror lies while you spit the truth
What's happened next on top of this roof?
Connected like 4, diagonally is how I see
You sitting down the ways from me
You copped a look, pretty sneaky "sis"
Text message, and that look is gone
Attention averted confrontation deserted just no chance
That cursed little machine
Has us all bent out by the seams
Claim we can't live without it
I don't get it, what's the appeal
Words with a background but nothing to feel
No emotion or gestures with some sort of physical appeal, man, what is real
So addicted to this easy living
We forgot where our bodies and mind exist
In this world of technology we are all hurting but firstly inadvertently doomed for eternity

No by a Joe
They told me nice guys finish last
It's must be true
Can't find the starting line to find my way to you
You dont seem to mind it's almost sick
I often wonder what makes you tic
Mind games like board games call it sorry
Apologizing but doing it anyway but are we?
Sorry...not sorry
As I read the words which turn to blurs I wonder
Why is it I'm up at night when I should slumber
Why can I hear the conversations in the rain
Each drop revealing everything even the mundane
Hiding what's behind the scenes it seems serene more like a dream but I scream
What is this reality that makes me lose my balance like no gravity
This weight unbearable barely 1 rep
But no pain no gain is that how it goes?
But we as humans never present our true feelings silly really
How a couple of words can save an eternity

THE Road Often Traveled
I wonder the road you're traveling my friend
Are you having fun I wonder
That's all I want out of life
Will you persist on this path of self destruction?
I've often been told you can't save everyone
Maybe I've seen too much Superman in my days
I've thrown you my hand a couple of ways
You're the drain they warned me about
Put it all in like a wishing well
It's not real but you do it anyway
Pernicious your actions but you don't give two *****
A mind filled with disarray but you seem conscious
The fun we had was unforgettable, it's haunting every time
To know you're on that same kick, memory, and line
We could have been best friend hell we were
A parasite inside you yearning to take over, has it always been in control?
Are you even still home, I really want to know...

Poet Cipher
I'm "going hard" no I'm not alone
Ain't found a place yet to call my home
I'm hungry call me an animal
Looking at humans like a cannibal but I ramble though
leave your thoughts jumbled in your cantaloupe
I've lost hope for the past because it our future
Living in a world among leeches and moochers we call them losers, dead beats and abusers
Funny how beggars can't be choosers
But I write to save the world you see
I may not seem phased   by all this gravity
So let me put this weight on you
What can a no name writer do
Write on brother and sisters
The pen is my weapon
Paper that ammunition
Make an impact on a million lives is the mission
So I take shots here and there daring and dizzy
Put my words on this paper could it be that easy?
Sticking to the grind till they miss me

Randy it's the truth
Life is all about perception we believe in what we see
So come with me randy let's find the remedy
To all this chaos and animosity
Till the day we live laugh love in harmony
Because you see there ain't no harming me
But until they day out reality becomes a fantasy
Well be here on our grind turning money into the air we breathe
Don't deceive because we agree
Life is not always what it seems stay on them dreams the path will show itself
and by the time we die wed discover  happiness is wealth
Jul 2014 · 712
I'm comfortable
Eyes sewn shut you could see right through me
A plastic  smile easily replaceable
Magnetic eyes I could t look away
Infectious laughter and a heart to die for
I to a dive and still no where to hide
To my surprise
Even through my ruse and deceit
I was still found and standing on my feet
Knew who I was didn't bother to run
She whispered with no remorse to say
You're the one
As you enter the realm of boredom a trigger is pulled
The hammer falls and you scurry in it's silence
Everything viable to suffice your wants that we always think are needs
Watch how quickly and how desperate your trials to appease this figment becomes
Pointless rage while you shut others out
Yet invite strangers to suggest a way to cure the symptoms
You become detached as a person with less than any friends
Because you choose to follow these stupid trends
Jul 2014 · 317
Happy 5th of July
Is it the sight or is it the sound that brings the people we call the crowd
The music and the freedom you feel being around
All your friends and family in one spot
To share your love of things you like a lot
No matter the time day or night
When those fireworks go off it'll be alright

Inception
Life is all about what you perceive personal perception
Dream big even I'm your dreams until you reach inception
The early bird gets the worm but that's a misconception
If you don't know where it is you have a common misdirection
Say it out loud have a sensing session
Until you reach the top early birds look for that interception
Word challenge inception

Orange
Getcha fruit on like the color orange
Murderer up inside the house listen for that door hinge
Running scared for your life too close that's that four inch
Mama bear papa too even te little one slurp that porridge
Friends challenged me to make a rhyming poem about the word orange

Need what you don't
Every thing is better when I'm not around
A vice to keep you on the ground
A so called friend needed at a moments notice
In the long run what's the point of all this
Recognize the words of comfort
Say it again to keep me sure
My intentions were good but the time is all wrong
When you come singing that tune
I'll say it's the wrong song

Generosity Monstrosity
Step aside and let the others have their way but what about you?
A doormat on the muddiest of days for everyone's messy shoes?
After you my dear I insist
The door wide open to my heart you missed
Your chance to come inside and have a seat
Instead you'd rather be alone saying you need someone to be with I'd even ask to see you, you tell me you're beat
Bed time, but you're online stalking
When we could be talking
But hey, I'm nobody special just a normal dude
Just remember one thing I tried to always be there for you

I wish I could rap
Everything was going great who would have thought a thot would come in and take it this far, but I don't blame them you're as guilty as she the fool, the monkey in the middle that's me. I tried to treat you right I did everything I could and that's true had my phone off around you, who am I to text if in with my boo? That's seems soft no doubt about it your name once on my tongue to think I'd shout it at the top of my lungs to think I thought it wasn't possible and then it begun a mixed company hiding on the run from my eyes and my presence you hid the shame calling me the bad guy now I'm messing with lames scrubs trouble pick your poison I just hope when true love comes around you keep making these choices because one day all you'll have are those good and bad voices of reason and pain they will always fight so to all whose felt this wrong good luck and goodnight..

There is no me
This could all be yours
Security and the wealth
Sell your soul to me let me make you
A creation and a product of hype
To your dismay an image in the mirror
You look and somebody else is there
Different eyes same clothes new hair
What is the worth of your life
I can push fast forward but there is no stop
Not until you're even higher than tr top
Tell me what you want tell me what you need
Your needs met, wants covered in smoke a dissolution, you're unable to breathe
This can all be yours but who are you after this?
Jun 2014 · 343
Food for thought
I'm on a path to self destruction oh well at least I know where I'm going
My futures clear not bright but I can see it
Would you spend your whole life confused or take the sure thing?

Her prayers unanswered
In her eyes displayed a woman once happy, once. Her smile use to be the comfort we all yearn for when we're young. A voice of happiness collapsed by the cold hard world we all were brought in to live. But I ponder, what happened to this woman? Is this a world we were all meant to live in? Equality, a word used but never meant. Equality made this woman lose her mind. She didn't misplace it, overtime she took a gamble on life and can you guess what the end result was? Life took her hard work and effort just to throw it back at her. She's been swinging a sword against an impenetrable shield for years. Are you not entertained? Neither is she, fed up with life's punch line her life is the joke. No where to run and all the floors are wet. She's the janitor of her own life but can't ever clean up. The one thing to power such a woman is her selflessness toward everyone in the future. She's already submitted to life in so many aspects are continue for everyone who counts on her. Spending life in poverty, through hard work she prospers but to just barely get by? Understand this life was for all to enjoy but how come we fight for a tablespoon of what we all want to do, live a little.

What is real
My life quickly coming apart at the seams
It would seem life has a funny way of takin you back to reality
Take away your natural high and shout to bring you down from cloud 9
Far from reality a really bad film
Where nothing goes right or the way you planned
Yet it's a comedy the irony, now that's reality

Taste
They stare at me while I stare you
Sitting behind hope faded from the truth
Craving; yes  as I feel that heartbeat through my chest you've seen the worst and I am the best but...
They stare at me while I stare at you
You're vision once set on me now grown through times skew advances
Live fast die young **** love and romance then.

I hate them
Days like this ill look in the mirror to see if I'm alive
Days gone by I manage to survive
The words of a contemptuous society
Watch them cause erosion to our souls
Making other people mad today can be someone's goal?
In a world where we breed victims and encourage making others feel less inside
Have you looked in the mirror to see if you're alive?

Time itself
Time scars all with the wounds they were said to heal
Sure the marks not visible, but the pain is ever so real
Staring at the hands that mend my fate
Circadian rythum thrown off is it too early or too late?
Half or a quater of my past an electrical impulse away
Memories faded by time but the pain is here to stay
The smell of your clothes, a nostalgic aroma
Time heals all wounds as these scars get older

Dream of Lucid loving
Only in my dreams could I dream of a reality
A reality where this actually could be a you and me
But all the others they stare and laugh at me you see
I fall head over mole hills too easily
They say you're not worth it, but you are to me
Everyone deserves to be with someone, or is it only dreams
A dream to be dreaming in an alternate reality

Title Pending
It's my poison plain as day
Toxic eyes, mind corrosive with thoughts
X-ray vision, still so much unseen
A lead wall called emotion bypass radiation
A sirens voice angelic deception
Lead me to peril I've been there before
In search for my Golden Fleece
Jason and the Argonauts comfort me
A ship sailed aimless as the quest
For the hand that feeds has taken its toll
Still waters boil my blood
Waves in my veins to feel
This endless adventure
My life's ordeal

When fake runs out
Who is the real you?
trying to figure that out now huh?
Little late on that one
I still sit here, it has only been an hour
The very earth itself heavy after the slightest shower
Your words ****** out of me all the love and power
This silent garden shows to me only a dead flower.
Wilted away my worries and sorrows
In hopes for a brighter tomorrow
So until the quiet comes and washes me away
I'll count the minutes until the light of day.
The moon sings to me the sweetest lullaby
About fairy tale endings and a sky full of lighters
Meanwhile, you leave without a goodbye
Making my world a shade less brighter.
An eclipse to my love to block out my heart
Ignite my fire, the arson in my veins
Compassion so smokey where does is end or where does it start
Dormant the flames until we meet again

What is writing
Writing is the music in my mind
The kind that's got you stepping
Word play done so right
My meanings will keep you guessing
About you, me, or them the question
Words light up your mind open up your third spectrum
Minds eye wide opening another dimension
Did I mention what writing is?
