poem---dawn

I walked endlessly on,
For what seemed like years;
I thought all was gone,
Crying with deaf ears;
I can see the dawn,
Trapped between mirrors;
I my soul will pawn,
Waiting for your tears...

poem---commonality

I can see what lies inside
Horrible things you wish to hide
I find them in my reflection too
Secrets I can't share with you

poem--- corazón

Listen; listen
Hear the shallow heart beat
Faster; faster
In this raging heat
Harder; harder
My shallow heart does beat
Closer; closer
Our two hearts should meet

poem--- it's part of me

And is this it?
Can this be all?
Silently screaming-
Torn in two

I need to wait-
Wait this out;
It's going to end;
Soon... right?

Just help me--
Just help.
Thats all.
All I really need

But now I look.
I look,
And I see-
It's all so very clear

I can't forget,
But I just-
just won't remember.
All that pain

It clings to me;
Burrowing in.
Inseparable.
It's part of me

Will there be...
A new arrival-
A new part-
My completion?

Pain must flee;
Flushed out-
Replaced
From now on

Love sits in
But will...
Will it stay?
(Please stay)

Yet there's more-
Love fights love;
for that part.
Can both be?

One from the past-
Yet I can't see
If it's wrong.
Or my future

And is this it?
Can this be all?
Silently screaming-
Torn in two...

poem--- strawberries

Is this beginning the birth of me?
Or merely a pass through death?
There are many things I wish I could see
That are hidden by my breath.

I Want to venture all round the world
But I'm chained forever here
From this cage I wish I were hurled
But I'm locked in by my fear.

You stand outside with eyes of gold
And shining heart to match
But as I look in, I behold
A gaze I cannot catch.

But I observe and remember
A forgotten time untold
When fueled by love's lone ember
Your being i would hold.

Now you turn and walk away
Giving your hair a toss
How I wish you would please stay
My fear replaced with loss.

poem--- peachy

Why can't he just get a grip?
His life will continue to slip.
Now with friends at his side,
Why must he incessantly hide?

poem--- get a grip

Rapids disrupt my calm flow of life,
Changing tides cause me much strife;
Now a boat torn to desolate shreds,
I'm a spinning wheel without any treads;

Watch as we continue to stare and fawn,
God grant that this river may crawl on;
Lost within infinite gaps and spaces,
I can't remember all of the faces.

poem--- feign

Approach me,
Dictate your pain;
Reproach me,
Insults like rain;
Please don't lie,
Your interest so feign;
Hate must die,
Let's kill my pain.

poem--- forgive me father

In the name of God,
They repent their sin;
With their kin unshod,
How can they grin?

poem--- crash and burn

Watch me crash and burn,
Come on it's your turn,
Because as I learn,
For you I do yearn.

poem--- knight

Faithful knight, defending his land,
Shallow goals, they shall guide his hand.
Question him, fake and flawless knight-
Question him, in his heinous fight.

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...

poem--- crimes

Tell me who I am
Tell me where you’ve gone
I won’t be your lamb
killed here on your lawn

Shadows falling free
Darkness flowing out
Let me pay my fee
And leave with a shout

Waiting here for you
Thinking of old times
Wishing you’d wait too
Feelings feel like crimes

poem--- fare

Why do you see me here?
I am not really there.
Withdrawn into my fear,
Tearing out all but hair.
Vision is far from clear-
How do you think I’ll fare?

poem--- temptations

My old temptations are far from gone;
Over old distractions I shall Fawn.
I wish I weren’t this eternal pawn-
Could pass it all off in just one yawn.

poem--- sanity

Lose all sight of reality

As these shades of grey fade to black

Regain your grip of sanity

As all your life comes rushing back

poem--- old friends

They are but passer-bys on a vacant street

They wish to stick with things familiar

They do not want to meet this stranger

They do not want to remember this friend

poem--- you are my nothing

Why do I see your face?
Its eyes still haunt me
Why can't I turn this cheek?
My question still remains
Why must you be this way?
You care for nothing
Why won't you fade away?
You are my nothing.
