Bright days have come to stay
She wil land on her feet
i choose to believe.
That she has an infinity of lives,
and never dies.
Agile and admired.
Destined for love.
Growth comes in the form of painful events.
Even saints are sinners to some extent.
True perfection is,
the grace to stumble beautifully.
To recover from the fall.
Morphed into something more.
More content then before.

Imaginary Kisses,Dreams and Gasoline
Where is her concern?
Its hard to swallow
Its a bittter taste that burns,
the tip of your tongue
Where once beautiful words came from
You step back
Address the facts
Those lil hints
That can't be unseen
Push you into nothing
So much is lost
In loving others more
So much can never be returned
You fall too fast
Get up to slow
And take too long to let go
U watch cars heading for a crash,
way before it happens.
U see what's coming,
but u let things run its course.
Jst like every love...
Its hard to swallow

Where once beautiful words came from

Address the facts

In loving others more
So much can never be returned
You fall too fast
Get up to slow
And take too long to let go
U watch cars heading for a crash,
way before it happens.
U see what's coming,
but u let things run its course.

Dragqueen Cowboy
His words hurt my eyes
Like a bright shining light
when ure trying to drive.
Nocturnal and forest bound.
Remeberd bond fires
shines its glow on friendlier times
My fellow outcast
Your defiance still makes me proud.
But your Cemented here
like the last gas station
Before the N2 takes u on route
All the advice u never took
Leaves all we shared behind
Like a homeless beggar
Wanting change.
U never take heed
So u stay empty handed
And in harms way
There is no remedy,to rearrange the past...
Like a bright shining light
when ure trying to drive.
Nocturnal and forest bound.
Remeberd bond fires
shines its glow on friendlier times
My fellow outcast
Your defiance still makes me proud.
But your Cemented here

Before the N2 takes u on route
All the advice u never took
Leaves all we shared behind
Like a homeless beggar
Wanting change.
U never take heed
So u stay empty handed
And in harms way
There is no remedy,to rearrange the past...

Roll down the window,I can't hear a thing.
When words don't want to speak
Held back by trains of thought
Rushing to destinations unknown
We blink in silences
And stair off into the distance
Let your motives be the same as me
A spy in the house of love
Never ends happily
I'd do the impossible
On a less grandiose scale
I'm a little things showcaser
Cos the little things add up in big ways
Are we lying
Are we pretending
Are we petrified
Are we removed from the moment
Or is now too much
That u jst have to let go of it
Or Maybe your...

"...Mind over Time..."
This must be the tell tale signs of change
An internal debate
That resembles warwage
From the ashes a whole new life will originate
A cleaning of the slate
That's planting the seeds for a new age
Time is a lie
Whats no longer serving a purpose
Wil be replaced
What doesn't allow growth
Wil be taken away
This must be the tell tale signs of change
My interest wanes
I want more than wht can be seen
Taste doesn't stimulate
So called beauty I cant appreciate
Wht is this shape taking form
What is this tonal...

A Lunar Eclipse of hearts (31 January 2018)
Anesthetized to the pain
Of hope rising,
Then falling again
I guess the universe has its way
I guess its jst a role I play
To the ultimate plan
My eyes have adjusted
I can see whats coming
The dots are waiting to be interlinked
Theirs no use in running
Take insight gracefully
Take courage patiently
Take heart,u've done your part
Let the doves fly
Set them free
What must be,will be
There's no stopping
Whts predestined
Theirs only delay
"...All the rivers flow into the...

Borrowed
Its not you they love
Its the attension
She was unapreciated, the whole day
Then you came and made her smile
She was hungry for the affection
Its not you she loves
Its the attension
There is something about the frills
in a womans demeanor
Its like theirs a crispness in the air
Its a moodchanger
Its a win win situation
Both parties are satisfied
Signed on the dotted line as...Fun
Oh what a lie
These ties that bind
Have tied us together with every moan
Falsely soothed
We never really...

Find the Root
Your love of me
Is all about you
Every word,every conversation
Is orchestrated for me to notice.
Woman draped in blue.
I dnt want to see anymore.
I'm tired of being a witness for
Every human tragedy.
What joy is there left in bones?
You rattle them enough,
even the marrow,let's itself go.
Substitutes befriend prostitutes
A strange kinship arrives
One with the same empty eyes
Pastor you know,last year was the worst.
What do u think, the devil has in store for us?

"For whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee..."
Born on a cusp of inbetweens
Where the alignment of the stars
Left you to be who u are.
None agrees
None gets what u mean.
Last nite was a train wreck
Of passengers thrown about in a silent church
The devoted had no clue
how to deal with the mournful
but they could shake those bells on que
I don't belong here
Where none sheds a tear,
but dies inside.
Handshakes offering peace
A peace that doesn't condone
the face they see
Death
Has you lifting a chalice

The vesel of the soul
Some Butches find themselves at the shipyards
Working the wreckages
Till they become something more
Some Butches never leave the shore.
Some Butches find themselves in workshops.
Working the wood grain
Working the metal by hand
Some Butches find peace in every drop of sweat that falls
Finding solitude in their bodies
Finding Bravery in defying the odds
Some Butches never learn
What it takes to be a human being
Desperate to belong.
Some Butches never make it
Past that point of being gone.
Working the wreckages
Till they become something more
Some Butches never leave the shore.
Some Butches find themselves in workshops.
Working the wood grain
Working the metal by hand
Some Butches find peace in every drop of sweat that falls
Finding solitude in their bodies
Finding Bravery in defying the odds
Some Butches never learn
What it takes to be a human being
Desperate to belong.
Some Butches never make it
Past that point of being gone.

Ghosts of the past,present and future
Sometimes my head aches,
with all this heartbreak
The evidence that someone was here
Lingers.
The lipstick smudges
The flashes Of long nails,
painted colors.
The scratches on my back
The natural high
Of being the reason for their smile
The memory of lips whispering
Into ears
Soaking up every word
Forever hungry for more.
You put your feet up,
On an empty coffee table
And stare blankly forward
Thinkin of how love changes everything,
makes u decent
In the ways you've never been.

Sights and Sounds
In some other corner of this world
Their all getting dressed
Fixing their hair
Staring at the mirror
With traces of me walking round.
Marriage is meant for love
That way there is only one who has the memory of your touch.
Oh what a long list,
Theirs beauty,even when things go wrong.
Theirs forgiveness
For all we could never run from
Your love improved me.
Their all getting dressed
Fixing their hair
Staring at the mirror
With traces of me walking round.
Marriage is meant for love
That way there is only one who has the memory of your touch.
Oh what a long list,
Theirs beauty,even when things go wrong.
Theirs forgiveness
For all we could never run from
Your love improved me.
