poem--- road

Twisting and turning, this road leads me on-
Over the edge I pray I do not fall.
On this rotting road, I wake every dawn-
I'm not sure I want to follow at all.

poem--- certainty

Happiness shined bright once before
But darkness keeps on flooding in
I want that certainty once more
Yet it stays as its always been

poem--- mistress

Should I welcome this mistress of my night?
Could I let my past go without a fight?
Please draw me a line between wrong and right;
An absent division that shines so bright.

poem--- shoulder

I look back over my shoulder,
See the things I had once before.
I wish I could have just told her:
I wish I would have just done more.
It weighs down on me- a boulder;
What the hell am I waiting for?

poem--- missing you

Torn to pieces; I sit here in doubt,
Missing her; I just want to shout.
It is close; I wish it were mine,
Perfectly built; a lady so fine.

poem--- grow

Why is it I find myself
Wandering this world alone
Why can’t this man help himself
Just pick up his nearby phone

Something grows blindly inside
Shameless rage he dares not show
Yet this secret will not hide
It shall continue to grow

poem--- breath

God's mightily sullen breath,
bright sunshine hidden behind.
When we pass into death,
is this what we'll find?

A mystic world beyond words,
Home to generations gone.
Fading memories in herds,
The lost shall continue on.

poem--- opinions

Opinions flow free on this sullen day
These all determine which day is our way
They tell us which is our dragon to slay
Emotions for sampling laid on a tray

poem--- pull

Pull me out of what I am
Let me see the world that be
Open this door of being
And walk through this life with me

poem--- waffles

There’s this place I’m at-
A place that you can’t reach;
A place that I can’t leave.

Where’s this place I’m at-
A place that forbids speech;
A place that makes you grieve.

Here’s this place I’m at-
A place that will not teach;
A place that is naïve.

I’m this place I’m at-
A place that cleans like bleach;
A place that will deceive.

poem--- wings

Will this guilt stay with you?
Stagnate and rot with you?
I'll escape this with you.
Fly on gold wings with you.

poem--- graces

These people I see
They see no longer
We cry in their name
We cry in our shame
We study their faces
We repeat our graces
Now all shall be still
They have given their fill.

poem--- man

Look at this dying man
Doing all that he can
But still drowning in lies
Falling from crowded skies

poem--- bridges

I want my selfishness to end.
So i can keep you as my friend.
But right now I'm walking dangerous ridges,
Stuck up here because I burnt so many bridges
All of which would've carried me safely home.
Maybe I'll stumble upon another if I roam...
