A forgotten song.
the melody hangs over me
forgotten notes, once I knew you
woeful and sweet
you were strange and beautiful
escaping my thought
as you dance in my head
I can’t quite remember
your name, beginning, or end
A specter to search for
a ghostly tune
pieces of your presence
still lie in my room
here I will wait
till that song is relived
perhaps in my dreams
I’ll hear you again
forgotten notes, once I knew you
woeful and sweet
you were strange and beautiful
escaping my thought
as you dance in my head
I can’t quite remember
your name, beginning, or end
A specter to search for
a ghostly tune
pieces of your presence
still lie in my room
here I will wait
till that song is relived
perhaps in my dreams
I’ll hear you again

cheers.
Darkly sparse rhetoric
whistling through smoke
here we are together
here we've come alone
Silently drinking songs
of dissonance and hope
our bellies are empty
but our hearts are full
We raise our glasses to
the absurdity of truth
we may be tired but
we are tried and true
With dirt on our hands
and a conscience clean
our sins are many
but still we sing
whistling through smoke
here we are together
here we've come alone
Silently drinking songs
of dissonance and hope
our bellies are empty
but our hearts are full
We raise our glasses to
the absurdity of truth
we may be tired but
we are tried and true
With dirt on our hands
and a conscience clean
our sins are many
but still we sing

blue hues
dusted glasses
brimming with
the hopes
we once knew
the tip of my tongue
remembers as
we tread upon
floorboards that give
with bare wood
dappled in
fading blue hues
that follow the
parchment and ink
bound walls scented
of musk and leather
the oddity of comfort
in this place
occupying a time
encased in amber
brimming with
the hopes
we once knew
the tip of my tongue
remembers as
we tread upon
floorboards that give
with bare wood
dappled in
fading blue hues
that follow the
parchment and ink
bound walls scented
of musk and leather
the oddity of comfort
in this place
occupying a time
encased in amber

Ugly
Beautiful are those and thought of godly origin
what of the dark and strange forgotten
perfection consumes a misguided truth
all things wither and turn to grey
Mannequins parade as people swoon
empty heads and plastic hearts
fallacious reflections
draped in woven aristocracy
Lovely the animal that turns away heads
not all divine gets the suns grace
enchanted beings are seldom seen
for what they truly are
Marvelous it is to be born from fire
to exist because of pressure
through seas of dirt and stone ...

Black Water
Fierce clouds sweep over sky
Cold heavy rain
On a warm summers night
Grains of sand cradle my feet
The infinite depths
Beckon me
Distant light flickers
As roars echo in
Summoning sounds of crumpled tin
Steadily I step
As the current holds no sway
The deep and I are comrades
At least for today
Black water rips
Wearing only a grin
Indignant dark waves
Collide with my skin
My fathomless friend
So unknown
The deeper I go
The more I feel at home
Cold heavy rain
On a warm summers night
Grains of sand cradle my feet
The infinite depths
Beckon me
Distant light flickers
As roars echo in
Summoning sounds of crumpled tin
Steadily I step
As the current holds no sway
The deep and I are comrades
At least for today
Black water rips
Wearing only a grin
Indignant dark waves
Collide with my skin
My fathomless friend
So unknown
The deeper I go
The more I feel at home
