Poet Introduction
I usually just write whatever's on my mind. Could be anything. Brain-to-hand-to-page.

I Need Your Whole Heart & Soul
False words fall on deaf ears
When my head is low
Your dark eyes dart about the room
It just goes to show
The feelings hidden deep inside
Are forever surfacing
Through little movements, body language
You are all the little things
I hate, I love, want to kill, want to sing
Oh, love ain't nothin
But a fleeting thing
Something so solid
No matter what I bring
To the table, you still look to me
Like I'm hopeless, all I need is W and E
So pull up in your car
And get out with that face of yours
Smile miles wide from deep...
When my head is low
Your dark eyes dart about the room
It just goes to show
The feelings hidden deep inside
Are forever surfacing
Through little movements, body language
You are all the little things
I hate, I love, want to kill, want to sing
Oh, love ain't nothin
But a fleeting thing
Something so solid
No matter what I bring
To the table, you still look to me
Like I'm hopeless, all I need is W and E
So pull up in your car

Waterfall Eyes
When you speak
Like broken glass
Makes me weak
Cuts me deep
When you creep
Up on me
Acting like you're lonely
Don't come to me
Crying all the time
You're so pretty
With your waterfall eyes
But I want none of it
I did at one time but
I just can't handle this shit
So if you'd be so kind
As to step back
Take the tape and rewind
To the way it was
Before we were we
Before the love buzz
So just please
Do me this
Move with ease
Up on out
I don't want
Your hopeless pout
I just need...
Like broken glass
Makes me weak
Cuts me deep
When you creep
Up on me
Acting like you're lonely

I did at one time but
I just can't handle this shit
So if you'd be so kind

Bring It Out
You bring it out
Bring it out, bring it out
Make me wanna shout
Bring it out, bring it out
The part of me
That's not so easy to see
On a clear day you might be
Surprised what we can be
Because it feels like a goddamn dream
Martin Luther King ain't got nothin' on us
I'm ducking and dodging, bobbing and weaving
Through this thick jungle full of clouds
Floating up and down like there's no tomorrow
You say something but I can't hear it
The way you move can bring so much joy, so much sorrow
Never seen anything like you before...
Bring it out, bring it out
Make me wanna shout
Bring it out, bring it out
The part of me
That's not so easy to see
On a clear day you might be
Surprised what we can be
Because it feels like a goddamn dream
Martin Luther King ain't got nothin' on us
I'm ducking and dodging, bobbing and weaving
Through this thick jungle full of clouds
Floating up and down like there's no tomorrow
You say something but I can't hear it
The way you move can bring so much joy, so much sorrow
Never seen anything like you before...

I Don't Normally Sound Like This, But Now I'm Hiding Behind My Pen So...
Now
I don't normally do this
And
I wouldn't normally say this
So I'm writing this
The idea hasn't elevated to speech
In my head
It is there
But I'm not sure it'll ever reach my lips
But
I've loved you so long
And
Again I don't normally do this
In fact
I never do this
But
I pray and I ask and I yearn
For the day
When everything is natural
And
We are united under the Sun
Or the Moon
Preferably the Moon
Because the Sun is nice
But the Moon is beautiful
And
If we were to be something
That...
I don't normally do this
And
I wouldn't normally say this
So I'm writing this
The idea hasn't elevated to speech
In my head
It is there
But I'm not sure it'll ever reach my lips
But
I've loved you so long
And
Again I don't normally do this
In fact
I never do this
But
I pray and I ask and I yearn

Bounce Some Noise Off My Silence
You play the game like the world champ
Seasoned beyond your years
And I'm green as a rookie in the grass
Bound to cry a thousand tears
I'm the new kid and you're the head of the class
Tugging on my heart strings like there's no tomorrow
Don't dare save any of me for later
Devour every last morsel and then move on
I'm just a meek mouse to your angry alligator
All I ask for is some respect
I know you're the best
And you make everything electric
Bouncing your noise off my silence
I just have to take a deep breath before I try us
...

Inarticulate Around You
I'm put together like a puzzle
Most of the time, the pieces seem to fit
But when I'm with you it's like a piece is wrong
In that zone, I feel my IQ drop tenfold, ten
You get inside brandishing razor blades
Cutting up my insides and my major veins
Blood spilling like the awkward sentences from my mouth
I don't know how to act, what to do or who to confide in
Things are jumbled and unlike themselves
When you approach and make yourself known
I feel like I can't even write about it
Because when I look back, things are in a haze
Unregistered moments...

Illuminated
I jumped off the pier
Splinters grazing my feet
As my toes lost their grip
On the ancient wood
I intended not to float
But to sink
Deep down
Into the nightblack sea
And I did
But as I sank
With thoughts swimming
As my body refused to
I suddenly knew
That everything
All of it
Would be alright
For at the end of the last tunnel
And at the tip of a burnt match
It all gets finalized
With time's official stamp of approval
To move on
To go forth
But still, I didn't want to swim
I ached for where...

Drying Concrete in the Middle of Summer Inside a Crowded Room with No Air
Does your heart feel like it's made of concrete?
Dropped into a mixer, poured out and left to dry?
In the summer heat, in a crowded room with no windows?
With people gasping for air where no oxygen can be?
I don't know why I'm saying this
Or why I'm posing these thoughts as questions
But I hope you understand this;
That situations are simply circumstances
Dropped into a mixer, poured out and left to dry?
In the summer heat, in a crowded room with no windows?
With people gasping for air where no oxygen can be?
I don't know why I'm saying this
Or why I'm posing these thoughts as questions
But I hope you understand this;
That situations are simply circumstances

Science-Fiction Love Diction
On the distant planet where we met
My eyes seeped into your heart
The volcanoes and earthquakes that resulted
In building me up to break me apart
The words that were translated
Turned out to be nothing more
Than silly misunderstandings of Earth-speak
That coagulated once they were washed ashore
The sea turns from that icy blue to neon green
When the trees sway in the wind
As we walk these dirty, unforgiving vacant streets
Hand in hand, we weather the weather
Whether it be rain, snow, hail or sunshine
The few people left never seem to...

Meet Me Where the Sun Meets the Ground
Oh meet me on the highway, baby
Where the Sun meets the ground
Oh see me in the subway, lover
When no one's around
Because there's no need to put up a fight
There's no need when everything will be alright
Listen to my words
Floating through space
From my mouth to your eardrums
It's an open and close case
It will all be as easy as apple pie
When you come with me
To the place where the dead never die
I promise, I'm most definitely certain
There's no doubt in my little mind
That when it's all done and they pull down the curtain...
Where the Sun meets the ground
Oh see me in the subway, lover
When no one's around
Because there's no need to put up a fight
There's no need when everything will be alright

On Running Away (and Then Flying)
When things get heavy
Too much to bear
Your body might sag
You might forget to wash your hair
Getting up is a chore
When your being feels deflated
And your light starts to dim
When you find yourself feeling less than elated
Then one morning
You get up with a purpose
Your legs want to move
Faster, away from circuses
You pack up your things
Only bare essentials
You leave your doors unlocked
Your emotions heighten tenfold
So you're running away
You've been given no other choice
With all the things people say
It...
Too much to bear
Your body might sag
You might forget to wash your hair
Getting up is a chore
When your being feels deflated
And your light starts to dim
When you find yourself feeling less than elated
Then one morning
You get up with a purpose
Your legs want to move
Faster, away from circuses
You pack up your things
Only bare essentials
You leave your doors unlocked
Your emotions heighten tenfold
So you're running away
You've been given no other choice
