Sugar rain
No light sugarplum
I'll leave my room dark all night
But your mind is always bright
No matter what time of day
That's all I want
But I sit alone
Just rain drops popping on my tin roof
Waiting for sleep
I'll leave my room dark all night
But your mind is always bright
No matter what time of day
That's all I want
But I sit alone
Just rain drops popping on my tin roof
Waiting for sleep

The Current
All my life I remember arguing
I remember parents fighting as I sat at the top of a staircase listening
It's one of my first memories
I fell asleep and fell to the bottom of the stairwell
the good times
Which are fading like a painting
Painted with poor technique
Still seem beautiful in their own way to me but to others might seem ugly
All my life I try to do what is good
But it has more than not led to bad
And each breath is becoming less and less enjoyable and each breath becomes harder to...

The silence of both god and science
Machine gun guilt
We Open our mouths
Screaming bullets of words
Some of its truth
Some of it's not
All you did was make an egg
After you already Downed a bowl of oatmeal
Chewy obnoxiously loud
After lying about
How you'd have been to work
A kiss doesn't mean the same to me as it does to you...,,
You drop acid almost every other weekend
You say you believe in aliens and preach love to both women and men
You say many a great thing
But do not live by it completely
And I'm guilty...

Love more relaxed than a limp sail
My Feelings change towards you
Faster than you could swallow a pill
Like a snow ball being rolled uphill
The only pleasure derives from the children making it into a snow man
And you would laugh at that image because it's somewhat
Funny
to compare myself to a snowman
But the truth is in this scenario
I believe it's true
Willingly however willingly
This is the only exception
lust is something that lays atop my skin
My jacket hangs from a bedpost like a limp sail
On day without any wind
which is ironic because were both...

kicks
in the past i would be upset
out half a weeks paycheck because i trusted you
now i'm indifferent
from you, anyone else would say its expected
addictions help people do terrible things
so i understand
perhaps one day the understanding that i dont believe your excuses anymore but still trust you will be understood
but for now i bet i look naive
believe what you want to believe
i'm just gonna live
because i'm no different than the ant i stepped on this morning without even realizing

My my mind and memory
I remember when I was in your backyard as a child and you pulled the legs off of a spider
all eight
one by one
like someone madly in love
muttering she loves me
she loves me not
I felt bad for that poor daddy longlegs
but at the time
I was afraid of them so I didn't stop you
Now I'm about 20 years older
and was reminded of this memory when recently I stood listening to
old compressed recordings of Negro hymns on YouTube
through speakers my iPhone
Which was plugged into an exposed wall outlet

Docks
In love we took
Our vows of silence
Hands locked like hooks
Holding sailing ships to docks
As sunset happened and clouds
Turned red white yellow and pink
In spring
Air is sweet
Like your sweat
Like your spit
Like a gift
Like a saint
Like the light
of the sun
Like licking sugar
Off lust's skin
Like endless falling
Hour glass sand
Like pointless rhymes
Going on and on
Our vows of silence
Hands locked like hooks
Holding sailing ships to docks
As sunset happened and clouds
Turned red white yellow and pink
In spring
Air is sweet
Like your sweat
Like your spit
Like a gift
Like a saint
Like the light
of the sun
Like licking sugar
Off lust's skin
Like endless falling
Hour glass sand
Like pointless rhymes
Going on and on

lessons always learned(edited)
Before the moment thought seeded the movement of lungs
(Housed lungs in a body only mine
Through the complex of the mind)
Countless footsteps were heard by ears unconnected
And some books didn’t resist their place in life
They sat silently on library shelves
Except for that one book(picked up by freshly dried hands)
Which were covered in mud before being washed recently
The skin was slightly moist as a result
And a moist finger tore the page it turned
And offended the integrity of some out of date words
That...

Again with the depression
We argued again
Over what feels like the same things
And I can't help feeling
Like a woman
I saw one time
In a film
Where she was hung up on
Then sat motionless alone
With the phone in one hand
And a droaning dial tone
Almost about to start cryin
Just when the scene ends
I guess I just feel Iike you want me to carry you
But I'm not selfless
Others Think I am
But I'm really selfish
Because Giving away money I don't carry about is easy
Renouncing loved ones is easy
It's the dreams ...

As I dream of lust
An angel sifts through dust
And a bob cat cries in the distance
Happening at the same time in two realms of existence
Lost somewhere between the definitions of destiny & coincidence
Like a jewel at the bottom of the sea
Lost to the shadows of a pore in the sea floor
While at the the same time found and worshiped
As part of a large eye for a stone sculpture
Of Julius Caesar
