We were not made for the world
Dreamers and poets, singers of songs
Try to describe what we see
Before it crushes us
And we hurt for everyone
And we gotta shut it down
Lest we become consumed by the pain
Of another
Not even our own

The city laughs at the proud, confident of their street smarts
They go so far
Infinity goes further
Darkness follows infinity
They will fall into the abyss
Vertigo will take over their mind
Second guessing
This is how artists are born
Subdued by the world
Knowing better than to touch a live wire
While standing in puddles of tears

When I write my poetry
I curl up on the couch
With a cup of hot coffee
And my computer
Upon my lap

You, my cloud,
soft and pure,
peacefully lingering
above me watching,
shading my life,
floating in my heaven ~
shielding me
~
As my heart beckons
on silent winds,
following my dreams,
reaching to the sky
to touch you
as you touch me ~

Silence Screamz
Wondering down
the narrow hallway
Blank stares stolen
with nothing to say

Trying to exhaust
life's filthy emissions
Choking on
linear transmissions

Distance calling me
into deafening sound
Closing curtains
and water down
