vulnerable
Never have I felt safer
then in your arms.
As your hand gently rubs my back
a flame travels,
burning my skin
with the immensity of your touch.
I can feel your eyes on me
as I rest my head on your
soft and warm skin.
I'm scared to look up
because I know this shouldn't be happening
but it is and I can't stop it.
I slowly lift my head
and our eyes meet for the first time
since we killed the air between us.
My stomach is in knots as you stare deeply into my eyes.
Slowly you reach forward ...
then in your arms.
As your hand gently rubs my back
a flame travels,
burning my skin
with the immensity of your touch.
I can feel your eyes on me
as I rest my head on your
soft and warm skin.
I'm scared to look up
because I know this shouldn't be happening
but it is and I can't stop it.
I slowly lift my head
and our eyes meet for the first time
since we killed the air between us.
My stomach is in knots as you stare deeply into my eyes.
Slowly you reach forward ...

Joy Ride
Filled up with empty words,
Torn down by broken promises.
Joy, elation, ecstasy,
Sorrow, anger, disappointment.
Up and down, up and down,
Back and forth, back and forth.
I am not a toy,
This is not a rollercoaster ride.
There is no ice cream, no sunshine,
It rains, it pours, it thunders,
Loud and disruptive and destructive.
I reject it.
I will find my own sunshine.
I will build my own joy ride.
Torn down by broken promises.
Joy, elation, ecstasy,
Sorrow, anger, disappointment.
Up and down, up and down,
Back and forth, back and forth.
I am not a toy,
This is not a rollercoaster ride.
There is no ice cream, no sunshine,
It rains, it pours, it thunders,
Loud and disruptive and destructive.
I reject it.
I will find my own sunshine.
I will build my own joy ride.

Mist
There are times I simply want to matter to someone.....anyone.
There are days when I wonder if there is anyone out there that wants to talk to me as much as I want to talk to them.
I wonder if it's only me walking through this endless gray cloud alone.
I wonder if anyone will see me thru this heavy gray cloud or if I'll disappear within it. To be ever alone missing ones that dont miss me, not to talk to anyone since they wouldn't notice me gone anyway.
This endless heavy gray cloud is eating me alive. I used to ask if anyone would save me. Now I am left to wonder...

Foolish Desire
As an old, and hopeless, romantic,
To have no-one to feel melancholy about,
Seems alien,
But I am painfully aware,
Of how foolish it is,
To want to hurt.
To have no-one to feel melancholy about,
Seems alien,
But I am painfully aware,
Of how foolish it is,
To want to hurt.

How Come?
HOW COME I'M AFRAID TO WALK DOWN THE STREET?
HOW COME I'M AFRAID TO DO INTO A GAS STATION TO GET SOMETHING TO EAT?
HOW COME I'M AFRAID TO LET MY LITTLE BROTHER PLAY WITH FRIENDS IN THE PARK?
HOW COME I'M AFRAID TO WALK OUTSIDE MY HOUSE AFTER DARK?
HOW COME I CAN'T WEAR MY HOOD?
HOW COME I HAVE TO DIE IN THE LAST PLACE I STOOD?
HOW COME I HAVE TO DIE IN A CELL?
HOW COME I HAVE TO RUN FROM THE BULLET AS IT LEAVES ITS SHELL?
HOW COME I GOT SHOT 137 TIMES IN MY CAR?
HOW COME 13 CLEVELAND POLICE OFFICERS SHOT ME FROM AFAR?
HOW COME I'M AFRAID...
HOW COME I'M AFRAID TO DO INTO A GAS STATION TO GET SOMETHING TO EAT?
HOW COME I'M AFRAID TO LET MY LITTLE BROTHER PLAY WITH FRIENDS IN THE PARK?
HOW COME I'M AFRAID TO WALK OUTSIDE MY HOUSE AFTER DARK?

Like My Daddy Did
Pour my gravy over my eggs like my Daddy did
As long as I got biscuits to sop them up with
Memories of my Dad pop up now and then
Never know why, never know when
Every once in awhile, I'll make a sheepish grin
And I'll laugh to myself that I'm turning into him
Visions of my Dad pop up now and then
Never know why, never know when
Chorus:
My Daddy was a good man
But he wasn't perfect in any way
Sometimes I'd get so mad at him
I'd have trouble thinking straight
Still being reminded of a good man
In traits I...

Uninvited Visitor
Late one night I awoke from a frightfully alarming dream
Satan appeared at the foot of my bed with a wild eyed horrendous gleam
Taking you to hell I am, there's nothing you can do
He quoted the Bible perfectly although scripture was misconstrued
I replied almost instantly with no sign of hesitation
Covered by the blood I am
For the Lord I have sheer adoration
A look of pure hatred upon his face
Hostility in his voice
If you'll bow down to me I'll give you your dreams
You need only to make the choice
There is only...

A silent whim
How ironic it is,
that you can see life in her eyes,
when she talks about death.
that you can see life in her eyes,
when she talks about death.

Cravings
Wild eyes surface as my hunger deepens
Your scent awakens my craving
The hunt begins
The farther you run the faster I come
Hiding
Your disguise is well
But no match for my desire to consume
You
Your scent awakens my craving
The hunt begins
The farther you run the faster I come
Hiding
Your disguise is well
But no match for my desire to consume
You

electric heavens.
editing my contorted lines
i find some self, inwardly there,
penned within some few weak rhymes
this word or two, may make me bare?
this editing... i hesitate,
will this remove me, take heart out
those struggled thoughts these strove for light
what then is left, a hollow shout?
I think, in words, some self exists
this thought makes me gravely driven,
to will more words, willed to persist
after, in electric heavens.

Hand Forged
Have you ever considered the elements it takes...
The ingredients inside to make someone great...
Is it something they do or something they create..?
Giving it some thought... some mental debate...
Perhaps it's through words so soft and so dear...
Or their callous ability... to create respect through fear...
People are strange when given some thought...
Seems most aspiring to something their not...
Is a king an almighty and powerful force..?
Destroyed by a nameless man...
Incapable of...
