Beneath

Sunday, November 27th, 2011

To take a step toward madness, To walk into the storm; To dwell upon the vastness, And shun the blinding swarm. To slip beneath the waves, And sink into the gloom; To swim among the graves, And watch the tangles bloom…

Lifetime

Sunday, October 30th, 2011

It can take a lifetime to learn What we wish we had known from the start; Though you might fumble, With each step just follow your heart. Clichéd as that sounds, There’s no other way really to go, And that is true now As much as it was long ago.

Shell

Friday, September 23rd, 2011

There are no words To describe how I feel, My staggering need To burst from the shell I’ve made, or that’s been made By the world, to contain All the dreams that Struggle to break Free, to escape, To be real, To take on a shape, And find a mind Other than mine To steal.

Smile

Saturday, September 17th, 2011

Such a curse is a smile Shone our way, Contaminates the heart And invades the day. It stirs the coals of longing And throws fuel upon the flame That burns me; yet I wonder Which of us to blame, For who can really know The damage they do With a look; Or, for the starved, [...]

Circles

I’m angry at you For not being able to see inside my head; I’m angry at myself For not knowing how to show what can’t be said. So very angry That my veneer conceals too much, That it obscures what’s underneath. I’m angry, bursting To expose and let you find What you won’t take the [...]

And so it goes, on and on, running onwards, racing on. And so they go, the hours and days and weeks and months; time goes flying on.

Attack

Sunday, March 21st, 2010

Small steps forward; Looking back, Fall behind; Stay on the track. Crawling forward, Nails gone black; The goal in mind, Keep up attack.

Different Ways

Monday, March 15th, 2010

My future selves go different ways, Don’t know which one to follow; Behind, my past selves mark the maze, All statues now gone hollow.

Earning the Darkness

Saturday, March 13th, 2010

Lost in the light, With no one there to see; Then shadows come, And darkness sets me free. Free to retreat, To find that place inside, Where worlds are made To hide the world outside: A world too bright, Too real to comprehend; The dreams preserve The peace of just-pretend. But morning waits, Awaits my [...]
