Autonomous and out of control
Blessed with a soul, cursed with a mind, we struggle to find solace in this abstract design. Born the same as we die like roots in the forest, unseen but barely a lie. One might say we exist with meaning, a purpose, a sense of direction. Yet without the blueprint of those before us we wander aimlessly without the aid of deception. For these trees do not know their lives are at the mercy of the rules, each day spent reaching for the sun, each night dancing under the moon. Unknown to them are the reasons of why they must grow, how long to hold on to their seed and when to let go. So different...

Two steps forward three steps back
Standing naked and exposed I look down to the ground, I see it. Regrets, insecurities, lessons learned, lifeless laying on the floor the exact way I left them. Searching tirelessly for a piece of my flesh unmarked I press the red hot iron in and without a scream but a single tear I remember. I reach below to the beckoning steel and jade wrapping it's pieces strategically around my bruises and wounds. This cold pressed against my body chills me to my soul and in this moment I forget who I am. With new eyes I am blind, with my skin covered I can't feel, though my heart still beats you will be...

Time, the destroyer.
I place a million dollar bet, it's not as easy to forget
fortune has it in my cards, though I cannot find the deck
dreams are fading quickly yet, just as fast we can set
plans in motion to the notion that we get the chance to get
second chances subtle glances when we dance under the lights
embers burning deep inside lets go ahead and just ignite
there's nobody that can stop it, no rules that we can't break
don't fear the unknown, let us love for love's sake

Full Circle (originally written 2013)
I find it funny that I wrote this 4 years ago on facebook of all places... and it's like I could have written it yesterday. Life is an amazing thing, how scenarios twist and bend with some repeating themselves in disguise. Well anyways...
The war wages on within, the battle of the mind vs the heart let the battle begin.
My eyes wanna spectate but they can't look in, I'm blindfolded on the sideline waiting for it to end.
So do I leave it to fate, and travel down that old road, or do I break free of this destiny and shatter the mold.
The path that leads to the left,...

Seek and hide
Spun into chaos since I can recall
Trial by fire wicked melodies spit from the maw.
Dripped in solitude these wretched bindings leave a stain.
Neither here nor there I dwell amongst an empty plane.
Wandering stranger without a moment.
Squandering time for brief atonement.
Dreaming of release from this damned cage.
But the question is has lady fate written the next page.
If I may peek to see if what is next is unwritten.
I'll gladly return to my prison with haste forever hidden.
For within this cell we are all safe. ...

Sun x Saturn
Existing somewhere between what we could create and what we are afraid of.
Static displays of impossibility and practicality.
What was strong is now vulnerable in the gaze of sky colored eyes.
Flawed and inconsistent we blaze our own trails linear as wildfires.
Where hope and destruction walk hand in hand dwells a man cursed by his own beating heart.
For this prison of flesh disturbs the natural balance of life.
Our souls know of no such boundaries provoking unexplainable actions.
Let us wage war on fate! These things cannot be contained!
Though we...

The forbidden fruit.
I've been through this once before.
Seeking love where it's hard to find.
But I cannot resist her souls' allure.
And we only have such little time.
Her eyes deep, gateways to what is inside.
I reach in with my own to the place she goes to hide.
I can't resist this pounding inside of my chest.
Our lips collide with subtle grace.
In this moment I put my courage to the test.
In this moment nothing else exists inside of our space.
Before I could even think.
The chance to savor was over.
My emotions caught sail fully.
On a ship that...

Controlled Chaos
Well... I've danced with desire, deep inside of pandoras box we tangle and twist the night away. We let it all go for that brief moment that in retrospect feels like an eternity, I'm weakened... each encounter in a different world, a different plane of existence. Completely intoxicated by the scent, I follow closely, unable to willingly break the path we have both set out on, I'm weakened... arriving to the door of anticipation and uncertainty my blood boils as I attempt to regain composure, control, anything, however... I find myself with my wounds exposed intertwined within her...

Climax
Crawling from the battlefield, blood stained and shattered bones.
This armor feels incredible, weighing heavily upon my soul.
I am alive and also dead, I carry what is left in hand.
Defeated only by myself, looking to the sky when I can.
Though that doesn't come often, as I'm too focused on what's beneath my feet.
Bodies that look just like me, same faces and same physique.
Was I at war with myself? making choices I've made before.
What exactly does it take for my energy to seek nevermore.

Destruction, Restoration, Resurrection. The Rise of a New Sun.
Jabbing your serpent tongue deep, you penetrated my heart,
as the venom began to sting while ripping my life apart.
Never seeing your inhibitions you made your final incision,
your mind poisoned with emotion, my mind beat into submission.
you probably should have listened when I mentioned I'll go,
that I wasn't your little pushover your slave or your hoe.
I wasn't fucking around, to no ones life am I bound,
only true love and respect can keep this lion around.
Licking my open wounds, sewing my lacerations,
rebuilding jade walls, to hide the...

Myth of an old race.
Hard to find the words, lured into despair to satisfy the humor the gods.
They laugh, as I pick myself up again from the soul stained pavement.
what resembles hope in the distance is but a mere silhouette of what should have been.
daily I'm taunted, from all directions, there is no silver lining in this torn and worn fabric.
a plea for help, a scream for a savior, A thought pattern believed to be obsolete lingers within.
ousted by a class above my own, where superstars and supermodels roam.
materialistic beings seek materialistic things, seek materialistic lives full...

Radial entrapment
Looking through a reflective glass.
Trying to find the time that passed.
Eyes narrowed the whites turned red.
Seeking the motives within this head.
Staring deeply into this mirror.
Looking for meaning within this river.
Bloodshot eyes staring blankly back.
Wondering whats hidden within this black.
-When I look into my eyes, I see a ghost.
A shell of a man, no spirit, no host.
A vessel for those who need a ride.
I'll carry your struggles til planets collide.
