where I was born

where you made me
come
alive

where you
brought me
into life

into
light

to gaze in wonder
at the sun

but
I
would never fear
to be burned

by the heat of the day
or
to

sleep
eternally

in the cool of the night

I just want to stay awake
and see you make the light

some how it is better
to let the words die
than to have to look you
*straight in the eye

my soul was lost in translation

is there anything good left in me

Time of cheer
Or time of fear

Steady hands
Or shady plans

Some of us in this world have glass hearts
And others, we have pitcher hearts

I will get in my boat and sail away, but I could never be farther away from you even if you stood by my shaking trembling side

do I dare put my heart out there

like a leaf on the end of a limb

the wind dares it to fall

and be mixed among the others

it wants to fall

but it needs to be caught

How
Young
Do
The
Good
Die

I let you all go
my dearest hearts
and I loved you every minute
right from the start

tears for today
and tears for tomorrow
I cant find away
to rid myself of sorrow

Fly fly away

I am... tired
...worn
...weary
...stale in wanting
...lacking
and still you love me

...how is this is so...

I do not deserve such

I am but a fool

I am fustrated by your willful lack of inaction.

I wish it was like in the movies
One tear.
Would be all the emotion
I would ever show
Not like this
My face is a river

I painted a façade once
And I liked it so much I did it again
Every single day
Now I call it what it really is
My face

I couldn't tell you
At least not in the right words
How much I just need
You.
To sit next to me
Lean close
And just be.
There.
Reachable.

As far away as my thoughts seem
You my friend
Are an expanse across oceans
And across galaxies
Come to me?
Come to me.
Come.
To.
Me.

Because I need you
To look me in the eyes
And tell me
It is all...
going
to be
okay?

I know you are busy
You know I'm crazy
But somewhere in between
We could have something?

Something called us?
Maybe?
Maybe.
Yes?
No?
Yes.

as soon as I say yes
do you realize
how fast this will go
how quickly it will die
and so I am afraid
to even begin to try

as soon as you give up
it will be over

As I find my way up the beyond
To make my peace with God
A creature, a creation
To utter unto one
Who can not be bound
By words or wants
He is all
Everything
And I am nothing
But speechless in wonder

I call unto you
The song
I would think one hears
When the trees
Sleeping in the forest
Begin to fall from the sky
As a fire
Snaking in the grass
Rises to their branches
Evermore

Bing them closer
To the mists of time
And tangibility
Dig into the ashes
In the back of your mind
Together
We will bury our memories
Like loved ones in the ground

I would cry everyday
If I let my soul wander
The corridors of the Earth
To find that which would suffocate
Its eternal flame

I would die everyday
If I let my soul wander
The corridors of the earth
To find that would digest
Its momentary Flame

Swallow me up!
Oh eternity
******* moment
As a wish fulfilled
Drink me dry
Till thirst is only
But a memory faded
Into yesterday's sunsets

I cannot take away
From what you are,
Made up of
Just as I cannot
Lust after
All you have made
Of yourself

So lay me as I be
Barren before the throne
Of thorns
Let me rest
In the river of light
Chasing the rising
Of a dying sun
