Wrapped up in the shell
Of himself, he stares
Out the broken window
Pain, observing all the
People as they walk on by.
Each and every one of them
Too afraid to give him much
More than a fleeting glimpse.
For he was an undersireable,
In mitigating circumstances out of
Reach of himself. And any who
Would dare to hear of his story.
A hellion, solicitor, Murderer.
Atheistic lover of the god in himself
Daring to go against the laws
Of tradition. Customs and societal sense.
With a broken body, with eyes
That are alive burning fervent
With a desire to live the life,
Which they've stolen from him
They; naysayers, pharisees,
Hyprocrites. Who'd rat
Imagine
If we lived in black and white
Escaping all the goddamn grays
That makes us almost
Impossible to live
Without the scrutiny
And I can't say the truth
That everything about you
Is imprinted in my frontal lobe
Even that stupid smirk
You'd use for everyothergirl but [me]
A constant reminder
I'll never escalate to more than
Just, "One of the guys"
My constant humiliation
That I've never managed to free myself
From my mastered masquerade
And all the time I'm wishin'
I wish I had another name
Imagine
Sparks fly, as fireworks light the sky
Painting a lovely hue
And she remembers
All she's forgotten, knowingly
Tears fall, against her will
As she remembers
She remembers
She re-members
Time, is nothing but a hindrance
To all, that still wishes to live in love
And love is nothing but
Nothing but
Nothing,
Anymore
Sparks die, no fireworks in the sky
Darkness, is all that meets the eye
And she has hidden
All her problems, very deep
Tears fall, streaming from her heart
She's breathing under water
She can't take this feeling, of despair
This feeling of despair
And I tell her that I love her
And I, pray that it's enough
Remedies, remedies
Bottles, pre-scribed and filled
None could ever shut down
His marathon mind
He stands by his window
Silently watching the city sleep
And wonders where the sandman is
The man who can make him cease
Cease...Forgetting today
{Forgetting Everything}
Forgetting the dangers of the jungle
Even just for a few hours
Where he can dream he's finally achieved
His lifetime goals
{Dreamed up realities are better than no possibilities}
Instead he's faced with the burden
Of seeing tomorrow
Before he's been revived
Of battles fought yesterday
And just like that,
The dawn breaks even
Already forgetting what he couldn't f
I don't know anymore
How to pray for the little things
Life has to offer, but
Just for the strength to survive, fight
For the rights I'm never gonna have
So I'm gonna fight in this losing battle
For acceptance
Recognition at any level
Happiness now a past dream
I just need to be seen for me
I'll stop counting stars
That fall from the blanket of night
And now gaze at the majesty
Of those still filled with life
I'm gonna climb, I'm gonna fly
To heights, higher
Than they think I can
I'm gonna soar with all these scars
No longer picking at scabs that
Remind me, of the hurt I got
I don't know anymore

don't ask, I won't share
Don't ask what's on my mind
For I'll be forced to tell lies
That I'm all love and and no strife
That there's no hatred behind these eyes
Please don't seek to know
My inner thoughts, for what is there
Is darkness bare
Something, unimaginable...
Tattoo your kiss upon my brow
And paint my thoughts with reminiscences of you
Before I can no longer recall how it was to be loved
-for you've left me here to wilt and die
a rose in a field of nonchalance-
Strum my chords once more
To play the song we matched
Word to sugary melody
-touch me again in spaces that make me sing
for I am happiest, skin pressed against skin-
Create a heated wonder that called for an acclaim
This left us both breathless in the end
Unable to describe the glory of what was
-together we were magical
and I am not afraid of dragons anymore-
Not Anymore...

Umbrella For A Lover
Baby I ain't as strong as
I like you to think
I can't run through walls
Or break your every fall
Shielding life's shortcomings
I'm not as selfless as I seem
I know how "I'm not happy" can be
So I'll not pretend
That these skies will never carry pain
Or say you'll never get wet on cloudy days
Instead I'll be the one
Holding you tight
Giving you warmth
After the sky tears fall
Because I know what it's like
To be caught in the rain
Wrapped up in the shell

I got mad at me
and took it out on You
anything to feel better
I chucked my black leathered Bible
on my desk
Too distraught to care to pray
or ask if You were near-
because if You were, I would not
have felt so cold
The twenty-third Psalm a sour mockery
rang in my mind a result of gram's drilling as a child
"The Lord is my Shepherd"
and yes I did want so much for this
Void to disappear
This void he left to kill me
I'm sorry God
my faith is now like
a candle in the wind
and I've got no more matches,
I should have read my Bible more.

Unsent Letters To her: 2
I've never told anyone I loved them;
besides mother that is
I was afraid that they'll leave just like she did
you see, the scars of a child determined this man
It's not fair to you, I know that
And I see that question in your eyes
While you wait patiently for me to say
'I love you too.'
But my silence means I do

Unsent Letters To her: 3
I am a monster
Not like the kind
That never exists past your tv screen
I am
The kind that lurks inside the calmest mind
And purest of hearts
Docile
Nurtured
And like a child left to himself
Brings a shame
Too large to hide
Under the carpet of time
Pregnant with subtle illusions
That makes you feel safe around me
And you can't see my face
For the layers are just too much
So you cry dry eyed
While you try to dissect me
Knowing what's not real
You are a monster
And I fear you more than myself
Because I've loaded the gun
You now hold to my head
With 'I Love you's' and other
Useless idioms
That make me feel Useless
[I
I.
It's not that I didn't love you.
II.
It's just my instinct to take flight when the waters around me are shaken so much that I can no longer see my reflection. I'm scared to go closer, so I deprive myself of a drink that might cool my soul in this furnace of a world. And I run to save myself.
III.
I never thought of what might happen to you in the process. Until now. I guess it's too late to want to explain and give answers to questions I've shied away, say, two years too late.
IV.
If I had known, you were my last chance to drink and thirst no more. I'd have drowned myself in you. Really, I would've.

I'll Still Write...
I was beginning to wonder
What was the point
Of me writing
Pouring my heart out
For you people to tell me
My punctuation is all wrong
My cadence is a little off
To fix the continuity of my flow
And to try putting some rhy
In my rhythm
With a bit of alliteration
Making my verses more fluid
Then I remembered
I don't write for you
I write for me
So what if I want to
Ignore rhythm
Andrushmywords
Breaking them
A little
Too Short
Writing words without wanting
To twist tongues
And now because I feel like it
Here will be my full stop ----> .
Don't lie to yourself,
And to me.
We're all born with white hearts,
With atinyblackspot in them,
That slowly mingles the older we get.
Because everybadreaction causes,
An unexplained attraction to danger,
And we know it hurts us and others,
Yet still the thrill is just toodarngoodtostop,
Since that tiny black spot tells us,
It's alright to be bad;
Because everyone got that tinyblackspot in them too,
Even the most [proclaimed] self-righteous.
And So we're Stained, that which was once white.
Will never be pure again;
This world,
Our bodies,
Our spirit,
Our souls,

By our selfish struggle.
And still we cry, while we sh

It's not that I've forgotten how you tasted.
I've not forgotten,
Those forbidden mornings I woke in your arms.
I just that I've forced myself to forget.
I didn't want to;
[At first]
But the cracks in the pavements,
Were just too real for me to,
Ignore.
I tired.
Not to step on them. Yet,
They messed with my head.
Those imperfections I saw,
In me, through you.
[Even the strongest foundation shift under pressure]
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
You are a suddenly-night enflamed, all at once
A dark and brightly beautiful. Stars
Trail where you tread, rivering between
Faintly your thoughts,
For faintly they express
A soul of light and temperance.
You are an instantly-sea alive, all at once
A calm and roaring beautiful. Waves
Form when you speak, glistening within
Sweetly your smiles,
For sweetly they attest
A heart of warmth and innocence.
You are a perfectly-sky beheld, all at once
A clear and stormy beautiful. Clouds
Watch while you sleep, gathering around
Softly your dreams,
For softly they reveal
A life of love made effortless.

Four a.m is uneasy -
time purloined and left
hanging on the bed posts.
You said I crowd your sleep,
feet and hands slipping cotton,
pulling dreams in paper streams
like the nest of wasps
growing restless in the tree.
Your legs make room for me,
for the sound of weather
happening on the roof,
and warm the space above us,
setting fire to the drapes again.
Just let me feel your clavicle
press under my hips
where daylight squeezes in
and hinges us.
So we both can waken slowly,
you know, like kids in summer
who long for everything to never end
and the sky to be an orchestra
I want to go back
and meet us one more time,
before the war and the cancer
took up so much of the day -
before my father could no longer
remember what the present
was supposed to mean
and your mother
could still get dressed
without losing her way.
I want to know
what it felt like
to board a plane
to somewhere hidden
and not care
if our names and faces
became lost;
to walk as long
as we wanted
without the sun and moon
creating an argument.
I want to feel you
roll into my arms
where I forgot to cut the grass
and you did not
water the flowers;
to hear you
watching the cardinals
unearth the spring.
And to know once again
how this place

The summer was so hot
the dogs stuck to the sidewalks
with the newspapers
and the black metal cans
everyone left waiting on the curb.
You could smell it
in the glass pitchers
on table tops,
and the sheets that never
dried on the clothes lines;
the canvas beach bags
mothers dragged wearily
across the sand
and the ice cream trucks
melting across the highways.
Children felt it open
up the windows at night
and find a corner
of the bed to smother,
while fathers baited it on hooks
or mowed it down
in flat, dry stripes
as if begging each other
to escape.
And the crickets just hummed
beneath the corn silk
and the dry mouth
Salient darkness and all of this
Luminance, the brightness is
Dazzling against the background of
Souls and life transitory defies me
Like you do. The colours of your mind
Seem to bleed into Design and Destiny
And I am Disorder derived from Drizzled
Chaos, the endless maelstrom of my home
Knows no colour, my soul simply cursed
To know no joy from shades other than
Black and White. I embody good and evil
Like I eat them for breakfast and so
Often the colours simply fade to the
Shade, the endless glades of graves of
My conquests brimming with bodies devoid
Of all but binary shades. I know what I
Should do here, I know no future's
