    this

    riding passenger
    denver we go
    longing for you

    mountains and rain
    deep yearn
    another year
    all the fears

    standing here
    so imminent
    this and them
    just you, him

    gave all i could give
    just to have
    which ended up to be
    this

    ecstasy

    sprinkled in cocaine
    everything’ll be okay
    words as i roam
    thinking of yesterday
    forgetting there’s today

    leave, wonder
    you, my mind’s cluttered
    wings stuck, can’t move along
    stuck in void
    cradling the bomb
    you have
    it all

    we were with
    the wind, always a sin
    blow my candle, but my one regret
    wish i won or simply, that i stood tall
    and left it all

    overbearing

    when do i get to see you
    which said too much
    dawn and gone
    in a flash, the song was sung
    the beat, the distant
    moments within that instant

    we spoke, but you knew
    a boy too scared to speak
    at my peak
    i still believe i’ll love and lust
    regardless wrong and done
    i’m sorry i hit exhaust
    and we couldn’t finish the song

    tossing and turning

    cold sweat
    in the night
    could never quite acquire

    the fright
    see you when we die
    no cries
    no lies
    we’ll be fine
    deep down i know
    you’re a good guy
    at least-
    the cries of your eyes
    tell me so

    stolen soul

    the news plays
    amber alert
    have you seen
    a stolen soul

    orb like ring
    flows and follows
    purple and discrete
    stolen, but alive

    light changes with experience
    a rinse under the stars
    lost without a cause
    in love, looking for a boy

    the ember
    watch it lessen
    learning lessons

    the alert rings
    still missing, but one thing
    the long whisper of how
    i’ll always miss her

    september
    it’ll be a long forever

    venice way on a holiday

    fade into me
    let the light breathe
    ask you, let’s be free
    walk the line, only for time

    talk in rhyme
    but maybe another time
    could never make up your mind
    as you flip your dime

    never were mine
    regardless times
    laugh, walk, hold your hips
    street lights of venice way

    ocean behind us
    moments left wild
    always caused a smile
    think of you for awhile
    as i write in old style

    love you
    forever and always
    as i stand in the doorway
    especially around our holiday

    from the sky

    looking from the window
    no city, just stars
    fighting wars in my mind
    black and blue
    broken and yellow

    scouring the shore
    looking for it all
    throwing the ball
    seeing how far i’ll run
    till it’s no more fun

    win for words

    lying exhausted, phone in hand
    trying to understand no man’s land
    i wither, shiver in the night
    sitting alight, i strive

    take fire, i kindle for warmth
    mark my notes, try to take hold
    i grasp, feel hands, warm sunlight
    but burn to crisp under moonlight

    darkness takes toll
    hopping on coal, dodging black holes
    i lust and give control
    as i stroll, feel to know

    black for enrolling
    tear for your soul
    i lose, you win, but in the end
    i comprehend and you transcend
    without ever understanding
    all those words i penned

  • Apr 16, 2014

    i don’t understand

    runnin’ whichever way
    down this one way street

    blood on my feet
    knives in my hand
    screamin’, the guns in the air

    living for this day
    will i make it to may
    my mothers birthday

    flingin’, flyin’
    every day i’m dying
    every day i’m cryin’

    not buying, only polarizing
    got you with my camera
    wondering where you been
    how i got here
    if you’re somewhere near

    all my fears
    you’re the poltergeist
    i’m just an average white guy
    hopin’ one day i’ll die
    and all those words i never got to say
    end up in the air
    and you remember how i laid and stroked your hair

    blood moon

    sitting beside
    darkness resides
    song tells a story
    move, just ride

    flow, we go
    in and out
    roots sprout
    showing myself

    crescent like
    turn down your mic
    lights, so fluorescent
    pass my depressants

    song soothes, a quiet breeze
    lion in the night, but far from highest
    the climate, stuck in riot
    scratching diamonds, we play impossible
    while the hostile lie with fossils

    story unfolds as the gospel rises
    no control, variations left untold
    playing fools gold, light your smoke
    dancing in your hocus pocus

    blacked out, no focus – shaking, to the lowest
    stuck in hypnosis, listening to words softly spoken
    there goes psychosis, your nose
    the notes, the lack of notice

    fetch you roses, broken tunes
    blues play for you, a hopeless dose
    there you float, high above the moon
    it’s red, just like the tears and sorrow
    but the truth? i miss you

    adieu
