red and yellow stains
dribbled down my button down
lunchtime casualty

wasted time wishing
rethinking things never done
regret gives nothing
but to never feel remorse
is to never lived for more

I said " dad, I don't wanna die"
He laughed
pulled on his menthol kool
exhaled
gulped a sip of a PBR
laughed some more
took a deep breath and said
" Son, your sixteen year old punk, still wet behind the ears but since you asked I'm gonna tell you. Your already dead, thus is a dream, so dream big, and when you die your finally gonna wake up! Now, cut the grass"
Been pretty straight ever since. Ornery ******* was right all along.

I always loved her
even before our eyes met
my heart's destiny

something familiar
in every coffee house
welcoming with warmth

I have felt the pain
the beauty skin deep vain
that attracts moth to flame

is anything real
my thoughts caught in passing clouds
flying by geese wave

behind soothing skies
emerald green swirling eyes
dancing northern lights

Dawn's early caress
Dawn's light reflects in her ever green pools
Dawn's golden rays fall about her face
Dawn's warm hug lulls away my stress
Dawn's the best part of my day

Sometimes I wish....
....... I didnt care what day it was........
Then I wish I lived that way too.......
......Would not you?

I don't trust my brain to tell me the truth.
He is a known deceiver a stone cold liar
heck he even lies to himself.  
Then I realized I knew other people
Who's hearts were good and true and fair
Follow your heart, I  heard, I swear,
somewhere
But nowhere did I hear
listen there,  in you heart , you hear
So I did and do and it's been
The smartest thing this ******* could ever do

Stormy winter peaks, denali shows
from safety here, the valley below
shivering, thinking, deep spring snow

Close your eyes, colors explode
Cover you ears, the trumpets roar,
Shut your mouth, the music speaks

I have felt real pain
hate and hurt coursing my veins
visit, but not remain

the latch was broken
on my little birds blessing box
her kind gesture, returned

just a saying said
but to me it says much more
saying, I love you

I want that last hug once more
The security in that final embrace
The love long felt seemingly erased
Since that cold November day
you whispered
Goodbye forever

your afterglow burns
sweet pleasure forever seared
branding my heart yours

Here she comes again
out of the rain, shining in
and there goes my pain

I don't like those thoughts
not mine to love, memories
of you before me

lost in mindless thought
gazing inside flicking flames
burning with desire

Why was I running
To that place, the bitter end
I should have listened

she's dreaming again
tossing, turning, in my bed
hoping it's of me

If a word hurts, I could destroy you!
