Tell it like it is
I'll watch you wither into dust
Nothing left, down to the bone
Guess I must have misplaced my trust
No in you but on you, I believe what I see
Looks like I walking this one alone
Move along nothing to see
No more of you left, erased from my past
Things happen for a reason yet seem to constantly happen to me

Enough said
I should have left it at hello
My pursuit is cycling
Only to prove I am insane by definition
Is it silly to have faith?
Like a drug to soothe my pain
This constant eye strain called beauty
Feels like a paranoia has taken over me
It's weighing me down but I ask
How far will I walk on shattered glass
Before I realize where to go?

Keep it simple stupid
I want my hands full with yours  in them
I'll fill your heart up with enough beats to keep your body going
I'll yell to keep everyone knowing
This right here is your shoulda coulda woulda been

It's ok I'm just nice
What was once said has gone dry
I've spilt more than I care to clean up
This mess needs more than attention
It's in need of Molotov solution
Watch this fire be crushed by the air in my lungs
What once was said has just begun
To take it's toll on your troubled mind
Thoughts of the past soon left behind
Unsure of what I say and the power of my truth
I'm not weird baby I'm just different to you

My Golden Gate Bridge
Unable to grasp the gravity
The pressure on this darkest ridge
A rope I walk
My Golden Gate Bridge
Digital emotion
Reality misconstrued
Imbued by love
I'd jump for you
Wondrous and momentous, why does this hurt?
Evanescence of your taste, as sweet as dessert
A delicacy you told me only I understand
I can count the times you said I love you on one hand
Thoughts of you boil my blood down deep
They unfold the lies which succeeded in haunting my sleep
A ghost of my past present and future I'll never forget
The day that fate decided when and where we first met
With just a smile, you savored my attention
Just a mere touch vanquished my world without convention

Facebook
You'd much rather be entertained than educated in the brain
Idle hands are the devils playground
All I see is a bright screen most of my days
Call me a jungle gym for evil ways
Indulge in the same ol' it'll be fine
like like* like* post status scroll
Until you reach the end of the day
Time seems to have just slipped away...
With friends, with family
This screen is all most people see now a days

My view on views
Hello, a simple gesture
Nearly impossible to be friendly without assumption now a days
In a world of paradigms of the opposite *** and this go go go and instant satisfaction induced generation I'd welcome this dissolution from the world we live in today just to taste what reality was meant to be like

Space
Vast, endless void with open arms
Drift into the stars
No cause for alarm
When you're here your home
This is a fact
In this open space I never look back
Discover it all, float away with a purpose
Mind so open creating space within space to surface
A broad spectrum of uncharted unknowns
I've never felt so close home
Than I do given space

Forgotten
Why do I safeguard around words that don't satisfy
It has no meaning to even exist in such a one set mind world you can't even ask to be relevant it's a shame that realism is wasted in the pretenders  but those who have streamed in the main often suffer less

Head in the clouds
How long do I have to hold my breath until you realize I've turned blue?
My heads been in the clouds waiting for that rainy day
To wash away my thoughts and let it fall on those around me
They can hear the droplets by stay dry with their umbrellas
Real friends go in the rain with you
How long do I have to hold my breath unit you realized I've turned blue?

Life Changes
Sitting here just watching how life's changed, and it hasn't
It's been the same forever we just see without the light in our eyes when we grow up
The light being the shadowy parts of our brains perception and growing up is when you realize life sometimes isn't what you expect it to be when you reach that up point
I've watched so many people just forget about one another because their own lives are too busy for those who are not present in close proximity with one another
Missing myself, and the others I used to call my friends and crushes regardless of which they were in my life at some point
Sad to see people part ways but even more so to see others leave a friendship behind as if it never existed
As if words were a filler and you were just another body to be encountered just by coincidence
Our relevance could have not been any less of a mere introduction to becoming the worlds best definition of acquaintances
Don't leave those behind who have not yet gone, you might miss what might have been or will be more than meets the eye

Marah
Call it an infatuation, this tornado is my destination. The eye of your storm brings me closer to home. A place where I've felt oh so distant for so long. Take me away into the sky, before you end up whirling another guy
What if you fell on fast forward...would you rewind?
Stop or pause and access what's going on?
Or would you watch like a Dr. Who marathon?
You have the chance to see where you will end up
or see where you don't
No consequences, just actions
One you've seen the butcher, the chopping block
There is no looking back, you must accept
You've seen too much yet know so little
You'd forget it even happened before you know it
It's time
Would you rewind before knowing your end and time?
Don’t you wish this feeling could last forever? You know, that feeling you get when things are going good, smooth sailing not a wave in the water to rock the boat. That smile that you want to just hide but you can’t? The feeling of accomplishment because today was just so fantastic you want the feeling to last a lifetime. It’s the feeling. What we strive for from beginning to end it’s all we ever wanted. But why do we encounter it less as we grow older? Do we grow out of feelings like we do our own clothes? One day we are at the peak of Everest the next it’s like we are looking for Atlantis. Sometimes it’s just nowhere to be found, other times it’s hidden in plain sight. We trade what we know and what we have to get a little taste of it. Whether temporary or impermanent we stop at nothing. Forever fades and loses its meaning physically and creates a whole new one for itself because of we; the people. Like a tv show on our favorite network it’s there only for so long then made into copies to be preserved in time, so why can’t we do that? Capture what little happiness we can obtain in a jar and save it for a rainy day? It would be too easy, everyone would do it, might even try to steal each other’s. Is our world sick now? Will we ever find a remedy for this ailment we create ourselves because of addictions and niches? How far will we go to be better than everyone at something that virtually has no meaning? What’s going to happen if we can’t be the best at our little something, ****? Nothing seems to add up anymore and I’m sick of it, I hate math. Unless we divide and conquer I think I’m outta here. World peace can never happen until we are all at peace within our own society.
More of a point of view with some play on words I guess.

A dismal Truth
Like the rain drops when it comes to climbing the ladder
where my happiness awaits I keep on
Falling down, fallin' down

I look at you and reject myself, but for what?
The fact that I'm so easily attracted
and don't even know your name

What makes me turn my head at the first sign of beauty...
Nothing like being rejected by those you deem Gorgeous
Like the rain drops in the sky my self confidence keeps on
Falling down, fallin' down

Mind set on perfection and not completion
Ones heart wants to spread itself thin
Like a puzzle we yearn for the other pieces to our heart

I feel less than interesting, palms sweaty, and irrelevant
To any who have caught my eye
The suppression of my feelings continue
How am I suppose to get up when I keep
Falling down, fallin' down?

Valentines Day
In the light is when your existence came into my 3rd dimension
A starlight gleaming through a prism of perfect
Blinded by my own fear of all that is beautiful
Not the way you do you hair
Or the way you walk
It's the way you are and how you talk
Conversations moving like the hands on a clock
I lose track of myself
All because
I....

Trial for error
You're attention span I could measure using my arms
But I'd rather use them to keep you from running
Into the arms of another

You love me when I'm gone
But when I'm near it turns to a game
One I've never been good at but still play

When my efforts lessen, you seem to notice
You want to be a part of the distance
But never the circumference, that is me

A game of tag, after 10 minutes
the more I try
the more you want nothing to do with it

Inevitably, *me

My love
My love can't be bought, it's priceless
Like the love we think we all deserve
Our happiness seems more like our attention span
Abruptly sidetracked by the power of instant satisfaction
Has any of our new generation experienced love without technology as an aid?
Do we lose hope more easily than conjure some up?
Let me ask you if time was a commodity, would you spend it with me?
Feb 2014 · 264
With me
Do you see yourself in a picture with me?
Picture perfect, happy as can be...
No shred of sadness, yet always in dismay
Like a bright star in the sky, the apple of our eyes
Having what others yearn to one day grasp
But first, can we take a picture?
Jan 2014 · 779
times
What is it?
That's makes my relevance so easily detachable?
One day I'm the toast of the town, and the next, vacancy, a LOT of disappointment
When I want to grasp I sense the grip of my efforts slipping from my almost ghost like fingers
I breathe but you think I'm suffocating, not only myself but you in the process
Hello, Hi, Hey... I've got the message
Jan 2014 · 391
Lies
I'm the perfect vessel to fill with your lies
I'd believe anything looking into those eyes..
Fool me so hard I believe my truth is false
But you can take my hand and make it all go away
Just hold me close and say you will stay
When life gets hard and bridges are burned
Where will you run?

tears
A woman
with not much more to give than a smile and kind gestures
Discontent but not for herself, but what she lives
By choice but it feels like that of a trap
She loves and loves but nothing ever gives
She nods and believes god will have her back even if it doesn't feel that way
The love from her burns greater than a saints angelic glow
Wondering if her kids are happy will I follow on that path?
Lovers who morn with no loss but that of their love
Agreeing to hold each others hands in the night but loosely
Turn day, the show began for the children and those who doubt
Pride the illustrious white horse that can choose the path of good or evil
But whom to consume with each path the fakers or the unknowing?

Hybernation
Dormant was my love like a bear waiting for the right time to emerge from a slump like slumber
Awakened at the sight, smell, and touch of your presence
Not enough time to dream of a love so perfect is what my heart tells me
I hold your heart to mine, I treat it as my own
Let it beat, let it beat, let it beat when I come near
I'll be the one to wake your love when the time comes

Splash
Afraid to take that next big leap, what do I fear?
Conscious of my decisions but when will I care?
Expected limits of my life, will I remain stuck here?
A last resort, my mental breakdown
The trembling of hands that would make anyone seem nervous
Straps and pills couldn't do the trick
Time to myself, always been a riddle
I haven't learned to swim in the real world
Have I asked for help..or will I be forced to drown with my ship?

Lost, lost in the sauce
We've all been there...
Most of us...
A taste of invincibility, or "the sauce"
It's taken  us to higher ground and our lowest point(s)
For temptation and triumph over the dull, uneventful, out of spite
Will you settle for bad morning or a goodnight? choice ultimately yours
But should you make that for which you do not think? Tis a quandary
And the answer lies lost, lost in the sauce
My heart lies on the other side of the world
Though I've never been I can only assume it's amazing
The fact that love can reach anywhere is over my head
Concepts of beauty and understanding we all have them
Some differ from others but we all need love
A picture is not only worth a thousands words
It's also worth a thousand feelings
Sad happy just to show
My heart captivated by an 8x8
And I want the world to know

A few words with the future
So much now that could have helped myself but now I choose to help others
Only those with experience know the struggle of late knowledge
To many now would be better then and then would be better now
If you could send words of wisdom to you past self what would you sound?
You could solve a thousand problems with one simple solution
I've  lived, I've learned, I've lost, and still have so much to gain
A sleepless night turned to nights nocturnal
Eyes wide shut, confronting fears of the dark every second
Embracing light for security, it dwindles to nothing, a goodnight light
Taking steps with uncertainty, a blind man's game
I called his bluff, he took two steps forward and I back one
So sure of what cannot be seen will not hurt; confidence?
I have seen it all along, I was just seeing it again in a new *light

Influenced
I couldn't wipe  the stain of her kiss from my lips
My breath was stolen with each embrace
Each mistake I felt no remorse
I only felt closer to wear I belonged
I shut doors behind me, I can never go back
I'm no longer in control, I've lost the keys
But the key was to keep you away from me
There always was a reason why we were never meant to be left alone
Each and every night I'm looking for a new home
Oct 2013 · 632
Covet nothing
I've made it but there is nothing left
To claim or to see
What once was a reward is dead to me
All this effort, all this pain?
Will victory ever feel as good as fame?
When do I shoot for the stars? Do I even take aim?
What once was my claim to fame is yet again another game...

Here you go
Constantly getting back at each other but never giving
Some call it love but I call it selfish
We hold out our hands not to help but to receive it
How can we borrow so much and never return it?
Secondary actions never concerned with
How can we ask even when it's so empty?
In this cup was victory
A hard days work
A penny earned
Blanket of security
Camp fire type effect
Ready to rough it
Kick back an enjoy the sounds of nature

Walking with fire feet
I've shook hands with those hell bound
I say cya later. I know I will
Hands on fire soul as black as night
The fire inside me burning like my new home
I been through hell and back when the heat is on
I fire back, where the good ones at?
This worlds come to a fiery end I tell them that

Notes from the otherside
Life will drag you along even when you're standing still
A ghost writer told me to take one step and watch
Not life but the waves of the living take you and carry you as your next step
Be cautious of your actions for I have seen it all
Love turn to chaos and turmoil build up within the gentlest of creatures
I am the evil that can be within
But with the life givin and strength provided I give your to wake remember this
The truth is life will go on without you but will you go on without it?

Lost works #1
In all this I am only a passenger
Only to make you smile when you need it
One time I made a pass at her
Realizing she held such power I fell helplessly
Abusing, watching, reoccurring.
Why couldn't I look away?

Future mountain
So this is what it feels like to be on top of the world
Wrappe in wisdom able to see all
But not able to see yourself?
How can you see the ends if all there is are beginnings?

Life through magnets
All of us are magnets attracted and repelled in all different directions
Sticking to what ever metal foundation we can surface, hold on tight ; gravity
What lies in the dark will be clear in the light seeing though deception our reality preceived as a game we play, take it lightly an surely you will be the one being played  so take precautions and take it with a grain of salt? Confusion is clarity out of order
Shine bright; shadows covering lies

Hmm
We were taught but how come we never leaned?
Right from wrong, both the same?
Under special circumstances?

Words of woe(published)
On those chilly nights we spend so close with our hands intertwined
Like I was yours and you were mine I still feel my heart skip from your touch
Your love to me was never too little or too much
We've ended those days with those fowl words that run trough my head in the day
That feeling of your love will never go away

Eyes through the soul
When absurdity starts to make sense and you've seen all the time you've spent away from the thing or person you love the most an it's staring at you like you're a ghost of your former self, trapped inside this emotional shell you call a body find a way out of this new age hell

Brothers almost in arms
People who say they aren't scared are lying
They wouldn't be here right now trying
For their easy way out just a few years
some of us try to make it when we're still wet behind the ears
but its ok let me tell you it's alright
we're all in this together through the day and through the night
For where ever you walk we will walk with you
Until our time is up and we have nothing left to do
Aug 2013 · 363
my hand, out to you
You've reached the botton of the barrel now just scraping for luck
Walking around hoping for someone to give a....****..
Digging for smiles but all the wrong ones
Hiding the sorrows from the world you've created
Why hide and keep living life so jaded?
Too easy to fall into a cliche but serious despair
I tried to tell you from the jump, I can and will always be there
Aug 2013 · 597
Still
Words seem to be all I'm good at, and I'ts the only thing that cripples me at the same time
Cat had my tongue, I didn't want it back
Scaredy cat, hardly frightened
My speech implies that of an enlightened
Thinker, I think, I thought
Words, on a stage, I'm distrought
Rigormotis set in, stone, to the bone
Keep those words to myself, I'd rather be alone
Aug 2013 · 748
Just a good day
Let the smiles and laughs pour out
Like waterfalls and rainbows
Happiness is but a free emotion we all pay for
Take my hand and we'll grin at the sky
Just because we love life itself
No reason to rush, smell the roses
None around, we can just pretend
We know that our smiles will still be there in the end
Aug 2013 · 852
All in
My whole life has been poker game with the face to match high stakes everything I bet on anything, win win win ; lose it all I use to feel 10 feet tall now I've gone an bet it all; all in, the risks and the thrill 50/50 the odds aren't as they seem I've reached my final hand
Aug 2013 · 433
I thought
Carve your name into my skull
The way you creep across my mind is so sick
Thoughts of ******* become normal
I've become complacent, thought I had you from the start
No one was fooled but we were both charmed
No where to go but each others arms
So I thought; complacent

A.A
I said I got years of experience in months what you think
A test of self control, she said I wasn't old enough to drink
But I'd do it anyhow drunk or not I want not you but us
Two people wanting  eachother wants almost earie
Inhibition all time high leave the excuses for "the next guy"

White water
How I've wished this water was whiskey
In my absence, will "they" miss me
The world around me moving quite slow
My life would be over if this water was alcohol
How I wish someone would look up to me, a role model
I keep these unseen feelings in an internal bottle
Ready to drink, water to ***
If this water was alcohol my life would done
