Floating on and on and on
Through the clouds
Made of black marble
Conversation leads to resolutions
Showing our worst behaviors
Oh, love of mine
Reprimand me when I’ve done wrong
For I am built of wrong
Engorged on your feverish love
But, believe me
You’re all I need in true reality
You’re the wind that shakes my bones
The warmth that seeds me home
Comfort in all of the worlds unsteadiness
Flowing of the waters in my creation

Unable to drift away
Caught by the currents astray
Till you started to murmur in your sleep
With the swish and swoosh of the waves
I could feel the warmth of the air
As the ocean lullabies tucked me in tight

The coast always called
On Friday nights side by side you and I
Riding on my bike ready to disappear
There’s bout a million places we could go
Except I’d rather be here
And so, let’s chase these highway lines
Turn off the light and let the city lights
Guide us to where we think we’ll find home
Where, I’m feeling powerless
And, you have all the power over me
I just hope we’re bad enough
That the Devil rejects us

It’s really hard wanting to go home
When she’s just so far away
Take this fainted heart
Take these tainted hands
Wash me in your love
Come like grace again
For love’s not hopeless

You whispered let’s run away
I just wish we’d stay
These nights never seem to last
Like we’re bound for different paths
Looks like we’re stretched for time
Both claiming our hearts feel just fine
I can’t seem to name, the drug my brains been asking for
And dying seems like such a bore
So, come home my soul craves some more
Let me check something off my list
Cause I’d like to taste those lips
And I don’t wanna go
Livin’ in memories with nothing to show

Well, it looks like what the kingdom
Said was true after all
We were doomed from the start
Look at us, we didn’t even come close
He murmured to himself
As he sat slouched on the throne
Arms dangling over the rests
As the glinting finery casts shadows
Down from crown in hand
For there sat a king
But, she was gone and he felt
Peasantly.

Oh, and my sweet dear mother
I need love
But, your sweet sinless sensation
Just isn’t my style
And, by the church I’ve come undone
Yet, I carry on like the wayward sun
How long must we bleed?
Till we start to believe?
Colors a blend, these raw shriveled
Black and whites
She said “you’re tired.”
And I’m tired
That’s when I said “I’ll see you in the Wild.”

And it wasn’t my intention
That these words would make you feel
Some type of way
But, if that is the result
Then hopefully I’ll be remembered
If even, but only in this moment

She looked so Delicate
Like she'd crumble if I touched her
To be so caught in all of it
As I'm the **** and she's the hunter
We existed inside of spring
For we weren't a moment
You could capture on film
But, even so I'll never let it disappear

I wore my death suit to church
Sinners come forth to confession
A holy cross golden bullet
Shot through my head
Turned black heavens red
Where we found ourselves in memories
And to rest was to hope for a good death
Except our sins aren’t tragedies
With gold on your fingertips
Where we’d find one another alone
With salt encrusted sins on our lips

Turn your dreams into realities
**** hate and negativity
Believe in your own creativity

And when the sun comes up
Somewhere in the morning
I hope you’re all here
Wandering inside your heads
There’s a storm on the forecast
It’s coming our way

Last time we were here
A lot younger than now
Nightcrawling through the moonlit hours
We discovered we were fire.

I used to love to run and hide away
In the valleys of lost times
Watching the hills shadowy scapes
As the sunset licks the trees
Somewhere to the west
Where space and time collide
And desperate death resides
All just at the whims of life
As the summer’s night breeze
Carries our hopes to far off lands
And children dance in firefly towns
where we were alone
Just for a moment

Fire to Ice
Heaven to Hell
Summer to Winter
Hope to Despair
Needs to Wants
Chaos to Clarity To Chaos
From left to right sounds like breaking a heart
From right to left sounds like you’re learning to love
How curious that must be.

It’s a beautiful thing
Stumbling upon all of you
Doing what you’ve been clearly
Put on this world to do.

I sat there strumming along
Locked in the corner humming along
She came up
Her words collided in my mind like kaleidoscopes
"Is that the only thing your tongue can do, spin that toothpick from side to side?"

She tried to sing me to sleep
As the tides rolled further in
Kissing the beach
Just to leave in the middle of the night
When the night sky has had its fill
Of moonlit madness chased with whiskey
And our dreams are high on different colored pills and drunk off sleepless words

He felt he was suffocating
She begged she was drowning
Yet, they don’t part ways
It’s funny what pollution does
In a toxic environment
Give it time
Spring cleaning is almost here

Maybe we just weren’t enough
Sitting at our favorite diner
Melted shakes
Thunder clouds chasing our sins
We looked so different now
Than what we use to be
And at the time there was no one else
Figuring I’d be a mess by myself
I feared the rain falling down
I asked “Wanna talk about it?”
You replied “The rain looks really pretty.”
And, I knew when the sun came out
Our time would be up
And, you still believe everything is meant to be
So, we learn to let go just to be free

I find it weird that I sleep
On the left side of the bed
Knowing that no one is on the right
Like open space, empty and heavenly

The world’s not so subjective
It’s just so critical
And we’re falling a part at the seams
When yesterday’s sins
Are tomorrow’s dreams
Running in never-ending circles
Pushed along with unbalanced chemicals
Skin stained with glorified imperfections
When the secrets tiptoe around your name
While the rain clouds are catching up
On our run for sunshine
Oh, what it means to be human

They say happiness is free
But, I wouldn’t care what it cost me
What an adventure life seems to be
Keeping this hope alive
When the rest of the worlds hearts
Seem to have died
So, pretty girl stay shining
For stars die out
But, suns never fade
And we might just watch the world end

Our generation
Seems to be losing sight
Just in one eye though
I guess that's just what love blindness is
Accepting that love isn't really what we thought it'd be
Who knows though
It seems our other pupil still dilates with the idea of love after all

Maybe we’re our own pantheon
Just you and I
Destruction and Creation
Filling the midnight skies
With ****** light
Scorching bed sheets and burning seas
Intertwined in all these things
What comes to mind?
When we lay side by side

I was sitting across from an old man
He laughed leisurely and spoke great
He must’ve seen me staring at her
For he said “Young man, right now you think you have all the time in the world, but in reality you’re almost dead, so run fast.”

She was leaving the train in such haste and grace. She wore a golden romper and her hair flowed like silk caught in the breeze.

I left my backpack and sprinted, slid down the railing! The stairs would’ve only slowed my racing heart, as I hit the pavement lost in the crowds of a big Apple city. Left and right, where could she have disappeared in the daylight, for she radiates moonlight.

I finally caught a glimpse of her, and for a moment time seemed to stand still and she caught the glint of my golden eyes. As the seconds passed we never broke eye contact, but in the faint distance a man seemed to approach and he kissed an angel. It seems our love affair will be that of a long lost gaze.

Well, I missed Thanksgiving again
That makes three years
Truth be told
I feel more at home when I’m not there
For I have mountains to climb
And views to see
Thankful for the feeling of being so...
Disassociated
Not that I don’t think of them often
I’m just not to my own personal summit yet
Looking forward to coming home
Nothing is better sometimes
I guess I just like it like that

There are doors
We find ourselves locked beyond
Where we must suffer
From the sins we’ve committed
Dragged to the endless oceans of
Where the Devils we’ve become
Beckon us further into hells we’ve created
As we sail ships into burning heavens
On fire from all the things we’ve done

I wonder what sort
Of war torn love filled battlefields
Lie resting upon angels and demons
Beatings of wings
Lifted far above
All the things you and I
Have seem to muttered
When gold hearts were turning to black

I saw a man
At the end of the bridge
In last ditch efforts
I asked if he needed me
When I knew he needed someone
These prayers haven’t been heard
And he wasn’t sure that’s how it worked
He looked down to his side and nodded as if a seat was open
So, grab my hand jump down to the river
Cause’ the water is serene like poetry
And to talk is divine
Except God’s don’t talk
I wonder if that’s why these prayers
Are more like lost emotion
Drifting here and there
At the end of the bridge

I turned the heat up
Till I thought I was burning
To notice I was as cold as ever
Shivering in hundreds of degrees
Thirty minutes to realize it was my heart
And even tonight
It can’t be thawed by pretty words

Let your troubles come to me
Don’t be afraid baby
Let the heavens sweet honey suckle melodies
Flood the fears we feel away
Cause’ I’m feelin’ devilish with the way you move
So, let your lips and my eyes tell us what to do
It’s never the right time in our mind
Let’s not make this hard, cause’ all I want is you

I think we should drive to a place we don’t know

I’m thinking you and I

Better just go with the flow

With your legs wrapped around me and the last thing I wanna do is go slow

I’m thinking about God
I want to die someday
I’m thinking about the things that I want
I get what I want

I’m thinkin you and I
Blacked out eyes
Should drive to a place we don’t know
To a place no ones seen us before

The delectable fires between every word
As she cut through me
Was so filled with ecstasy
That I found myself lost
As she was packing her last bag
Forgetting to tell me to go to hell
What she didn’t know was
I found myself there a long time ago
Who would’ve guessed
Lucifer was a girl that I liked

All women are Satan
  - I just happen to be a glorified sinner

When I was twenty
I wrote Love
When I was twenty-four
I wrote Love and War In Your Twenties
Now I’m twenty-five
Love is truth and truth is poetry
And I learned most people hate poetry
Yet, I think I was made to write
Put my thoughts to ink
Quiver in the dwellings of my muse
My blue eyed vice
Where my wars have signed peace treaties
And love doesn’t seem like brittle bone
To where I hope my forever is
Cast among my dreams for us
