Of all the weary restless listeners
She stood out the most
Her eyes alight with blaze of thought
Her body sunk from forgotten sleep
She stood to say - I'm alright
I wouldn't argue with her

I've had my share of sleeplessness
The kind when you're alone
My eyes were black and bagged
And often I fell to twilight
Not yet sleep; not quite aware
She awoke me from my state
The world a bright and brilliant thing

The inn in which we stayed was kind
But offered us no respite
Comfort tames not the fervored mind
She knew as well as I
We sat and spoke
Across the room
No use for words or hands

A wonderful woman she truly was
A strong and weathered one
Her cheeks told me of winds they'd fought
Her nose of frostbit summers
She smiled at me
We had surely found each other

I had left in search of something
Never figuring the objects name
Upturned rocks and drunken talks
No rewards were received
By midnights edge I had always left
Aloft
To chase my goals
My maddening maddened goals

Today I had found the moment
That was worthy of my death
She stared at me
I stared at her
Ember caught in twirling wind amid a forest made from bone
I stood
She strode
We met
Hands clasped

I died that day and so did she
From he and I to we
I'd panned creeks, duh sites, fought bears of men
But collapsed in bed
At a simple inn
Is where's my treasure lies

take to the right the one who is but nothing. there is something. dark and dark and dark these things are. black as they appear none care more than dark. Blink in the light. it is far far brighter than need be. The dark hides nothing, the brightest light hides all. where then? where could the one to the right remain? to the left there is one to the wrong there is another but to the right... nothing. how can this be? there is one here. there is one there. there MUST be one to the right. foolish foolish foolish to say there is not! the right remains. alone. unaware. unaffected. uneffecting! the light too great for it and the dark - the dark too far. how then? does the right exist? it must, there is a left and a wrong!!!! the right must. it must. it must. but

I consoled a friend as they buried his
An old man who had lived good life
It was difficult nonetheless
Four days from heaven
Three steps from hell
He never broke his gaze

I've been told
We are all okay until we're not
A smile that fades
A tear that falls
To feed the broken soil

It's hard to know
This is how we all will end
Broken back down
Eaten all up
To live for another
To build for another
To comfort a friend as they bury his

I found
The later that I go
The less I need to know
It's not
All the best of luck
Finding you are ******
I wish
Need I say
Need I think
Besides
The world is so cruel
I'd known better, right
Although
I was forced into a farce
Always demise in mind
I wish
Need I say
Need I think
I wish  
Need I think
I'll never say

I'm trapped in the moment.
I know that all moments are the same
That there here
Happening
But every moment I'm trapped.
Some people live for the moment
Some people live IN the moment
But I'm trapped here
Knowing
All moments are happening
All times in the same place.
Here
Here
But I'm trapped
Here

Dedicated to the rogue in all of us
I heard all the fuss
The noise made
I thought about it
You know I must
I cannot help it
The noise made
I liked it
But if I combined it
With
Myself
The world sees a player

The world is NOT coming to an end
I can see why you think that
Wars are waged by those who dont fight
Men are murdered by their protectors
Women ***** by their friends
Leaders lay idle in their havens
Riots roll through our streets
Fear seeps into all our minds
We are held down by a force that prefers to remain invisible
In the darkness it is easier to deceive
Easier to control
Easier to hide
But only cowards use the darkness
They use their tools to craft stones around us
They try to entomb us in
"Free" they call themselves
"Free" they call us
But
Freedom is without them
Freedom is in the light
The world could come to an end
Only if we stop shining
Only if we stop burning in the dark
If you want to save the world then start fires
Smoke the cowards out
It is our choice
That
The world is NOT coming to an end
