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 [...]

Going Forward

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Gotta go forward; I don’t know where I’ll end up, But here goes nothing…

Inside

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

Screaming inside; There’s no one who hears. Aching inside, For too many years. Frustration, inside; There’s no one who sees. Desperation, inside, The frantic disease. Inside, all inside; Appearing unstirred. Untroubled, outside; The tempest unheard.

Unto the Day

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Take me out unto the day, Take me from this night; Drown the moon, Set sun alight, And take me far away. Play me then a merry tune, Play me from my woes; Banish mind, My thoughts compose, And play my afternoon. Hide me now, and keep me blind! Hide me from the truth: Darkness [...]

Lost Again

Monday, October 5th, 2009

I’m finding myself, There I am; then lost again. Where should I look now?

Routine

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

Same thing, Same thing Every day; No change, No change In work or play. Steady, Stagnant, Tame decay; Tired, Familiar, Life as cliche. Uncommon, Different, Something new; Defiant, Disturbed, Contrary few. Surprise, Confound, Avoid routine; Live life As human, Not as machine.

Cupid’s Lovesick Freak

Friday, September 18th, 2009

Do you see the desperation in my eyes? Is that why you’re waving good-bye When I’ve hardly had time to say hello? Do you hear the longing in my words? Is that why you seem so deterred When I’ve barely had time to speak? What is it you see? What is it you hear? Won’t [...]

No Longer a Choice

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

Where did the time go; Where is the me of yesterday? Where did my dreams go, And why am I here today? How did I get here And can I go back? The future’s not clear; My vision’s gone black. Dare I go on, Must I keep to this course? Is the past really gone, [...]

Let Light Invade

Monday, July 13th, 2009

Let light invade, And drive the darkness all away; Let confidence come, And then tear self-doubt to shreds. Let sadness fade, And let not happiness be prey Nor hope succumb To life’s many fickle threads. Let anger go, And cast out suspicion too; Let fear escape, With despair as well to follow. Let power flow, [...]
