Internal bleeding doesn't heal
this irratible feeling throughout my body; it's not going to go away;
life and death are two sides of the same coin that flips like a middle finger;
on the way down for good; it hurts to accept that most things that make life beautiful,
may partially or never be experienced; I think of the ocean in a symbolic way;
everyone cries and it leads there; I imagine just soaking in the ocean to best represent,
life's pressures and how it rushes in on you until the impact makes you...

Desert Sun
life's a long walk, in a short time;
there's no better place to be than,
out of the sun on any dry given day;
just about anything wet and comforting,
is nature's way, of making the walk worth while;
the sun hits one, more with each step;
one's mind bakes as one wanders to the,
next destination; one takes a look around;
much to young to find much pleasure in rest but,
the walk amongst the hot sun demands, ...

"Time's Limit"(more or less)
what is time?; according to clocks in a temporary box;
it moves yet stationary, like trains of thoughts arriving
to the same designated stop, before you're eventually dropped;
time is here today and gone tomorrow; appreciated by many,
some days; may pass by just to say hello other days;
should time not serve us as much or more than we, if it's truly immortal;
what kind of relationship is this?;
time is how...

Milky Way(first person)(snack's point of view)
I've always had a thing for the hostess's brand;
but she'd play with my stomach, and sweet tooth often;
one would feel like just another cream cake on the shelf;
never would have a pick up line;
but instead, would melt in heat most times;
would I be wrong to imagine exploding as she takes her first bite;
Selfishly yet selflessly wanting to feed her desires and mine;
if it were all just a piece of cake; to give and take;
perhaps there would be more ''in store'' for a better place;...

Hermit at the Crabshack
thank goodness for another day;
I ultimatly drink of the glass half full with gratitude;
even as I notice my friend on the edge of the sidewalk;
nature is beautiful, even through a hardship,
that has sailed after coming in;
maybe it was never meant for me;
love overflows, through one;
whether or not one is able to surface for air;
yes; a totally tough reality;
truly in the...

I'm fine(Save me!)
I'm fine; there's nothing here to see(save me);
I'm not locked in the dungeon of my own mind;
taking things one day at a time(miserable)
things could be worse(tired of fighting)
relationships are overrated(very insecure)
I'll figure something out(I'm lost out here)
It's nice to meet you(It won't last)
Better off alone(denial)(yearning someone to love)
What a beautiful woman(I have nothing to offer)

Hour Glass
One with the sand at your feet on the beach;
is the closest thing to dreams, expectations could meet;
propose a toast to a love one or a friend who is close;
the hours pass, what a blast; how the feeling is sweet;
is this love, is this life; as precise as could be;
exchanging hugs, making love, on a lovely retreat;
the hours pass, pretty fast, than you head right to sleep;
the hour glass, for the day is...

Soft and Lovely
we all know falling very well;
while love is not the case;
we fall for one another quick,
by noticing a face;
that sets the body up to burn,
and yearn with double takes;
but what's the soft without the lovely,
person that it makes;
I'd dream of what I'd never had;
and doubt I ever will;
the body cries, it's going mad;
how it just can't keep still;
...

The baby always cries
The body and the mind;
they're both under attack;
without a tear to shed at all,
would you still be exact;
are you completely human,
while navigating tracks;
you take a loss;
some wires cross;
the baby's coming back;
the cold and hard awaits;
the naked truth brings pain;
...

Zodiac Crack
I'm those twelve o'clock midnights;
it's hard for me to sleep;
at times my mind goes no where;
at times I dwell in deep;
I question what is real at all;
at times i'm so confused;
sometimes I see a circus show,
and find myself amused;
my disposition comes off ways,
that set off different shapes;
I'd like to be a hero,
but I tend to just escape;
I see the beast in the light,

Shot down the road
A shell is all I've ever known,
but I've never been a cowboy;
the bar has never been my home,
but i sure could hold one down(shots/drink);
the doc could never cure my aches,
the shots with empty guns I'd take;
A shell is all I've ever known,
man I've never been around;
I've seen so many of her face,
I couldn't help but feel misplaced;
A stranger in a crazy place,
that we all know as town; ...

Misfitting wear and tears
the starve; the thirst;
the souls rehearse, to get it right;
though never first;
reincarnated the way we like;
not too high, or low, but centered core;
I know it'd take me, more than twice;
these eyes opened restlessly like,
a broken heart that pours all night;
received by the hard unforgiving floor;
we question life, like never before;
when chips are downed all day, like lays;
we catch ourselves there in a daze;
we'd like to dip away from...
