I Miss You
I dream in between the cracksof reality and illusion,
riding the wave of intuitionin search of something to fill the void.
I follow the voice inside my mindbut sometimes my heart screams louder,
and after the screaming has calmed,thoughts of you consume me.
I question, what does it mean?To this, I may never know.
But when you look into my eyes the void no longer exists.
I'm convinced the feelingI'm experiencing is whole?
It's foreign and unfamiliar,yet comforting and almost feels real.
So real that my intuition gets scaredand runs away from you.
I don't...

Here On This Planet
I feel life is unkind
I've lost my heart enough times to lose my mind
In the end, what does it all come down to?
Is there anyone out there that's true?
I doubt it.
In my life, here on this planet,
I've learned to love, and loved to hate
but I have had it.
What am I to do
So many problems in my life.
What am I to do?
Do I want to die?
I doubt it.
As far as what I know,
well, there's a few things.
I know who I am when I play these strings.
I might not make it to tomorrow,
but who knows..
and if I never see the sun...
I've lost my heart enough times to lose my mind
In the end, what does it all come down to?
Is there anyone out there that's true?
I doubt it.
In my life, here on this planet,
I've learned to love, and loved to hate
but I have had it.
What am I to do
So many problems in my life.
What am I to do?
Do I want to die?

As far as what I know,
well, there's a few things.

Sin and Bloom
Words
They burn like fire
I see the liar
in you
speaking into the mirror
the fear
is truth.
Stories
A perfect con
I am beyond
the moon
screaming to the wind
I sin
and bloom.
Sparks
but you're not there
to know this stare
Collapse
inside his mouth
moments
I grasp.
I know myself
but you don't know me
I touch myself
but you can't touch me
I change myself
but you can't change me
The realization is beyond us.
They burn like fire

Ice in the Silence
Cold bed
cold feelings
forming ice in the silence
but its not breaking
its turning to dust
Alone together
side by side
we speak in tension, not in violence
because the love
has lost the lust
Found balance
without substance
without substance, self reliance
but there's no common ground
for us
Table's turned
Now you see
no more need to blame defiance
if its dead throw it out
hazardous
Now you see it
as I saw it
ice in the silence
not in violence
self reliance
blame defiance...
cold feelings

Sometimes, Always
There are times when I miss
the look in your eyes,
such depth behind the beauty,
always seemed to be holding back.
In the midst of a single moment
though sincere with your words,
you withheld for our own good.
You left me in the dark
almost always, endlessly pondering
what we could have been
if only we couldhave let our guard down,
and if what we had will ever be again.
The circumstance did notallow
such an off the wall chance
for two people to engage in conversation
non-the-less turn into a story
with dialogue,...

Glock 22
My baby
sleeps with eyes wide open
Sometimes I wish I could see inside his mind
what the fuck is he thinking?
Is he thinking of me?
And how it might be...
someday
My baby
he's dead half the time
But when you least expect
he'll show no regret
He'll pop a cap in that ass
with his glock 22
It's been dreaming of you
for so long
With abang bang bang
Straight through your head
A quick bang bang bang
and now you're dead
sleeps with eyes wide open
Sometimes I wish I could see inside his mind
what the fuck is he thinking?
Is he thinking of me?
And how it might be...
someday
My baby
he's dead half the time
But when you least expect
he'll show no regret
He'll pop a cap in that ass
with his glock 22
It's been dreaming of you
for so long
With abang bang bang
Straight through your head
A quick bang bang bang
and now you're dead

Odd Source of Compassion
My soul can't be confined
this body is constantly tested
these eyes are misleading
misguiding my intentions.
My mind is my shelter
this reality's a dream
my instinct keeps portraying
a much stronger being.
Acceptance, a virtue,
what I think, I become
detachment is key
compassionate, but numb.
Compassion, by nature
might redeem this mental mess
my actions wear so many hats
yet this heart remains undressed.
Odd source of compassion,
lost soul with good intentions,
live and die with no regrets
as if...

For Terrance and Adrian
The worst type of goodbye,
is when it's for good,
yesterday we were laughing,
today I'm gasping,
for air,
must feed your heart.
I'm ripping apart,
I forgot how to smile,
no matter the weather,
the light won't make it better,
the sun shines black.
So long....loved one,
At least you're in a better place than me,
I almost feel jealousy...
I'm sorry.
The worst type of goodbye,
is when it's too late,
never answered, I'd call you
cancer spread in volume
the secret you hid.
I'm ripping apart,...

Hungry Ghost
I sow the seeds
they form thoughts in my mind
All I do, I do to myself
Demi-delusions
robbing me blind
A hungry ghost
his poor mental health
You are my unhealthy dependence
I can't seem to detach myself from you
I ask, what am I getting that I don't want?
maybe it's you, maybe it's you
I sow new seeds
thoughts wither a black rose
fully aware the intent makes me weak
Drawn to the rarity
to live in the moment
though jagged thorns may make me bleed
You are my unhealthy dependence
I can't seem to...
they form thoughts in my mind
All I do, I do to myself
Demi-delusions
robbing me blind
A hungry ghost
his poor mental health
You are my unhealthy dependence
I can't seem to detach myself from you

maybe it's you, maybe it's you

thoughts wither a black rose
fully aware the intent makes me weak

Consequence
Try to defy anddeny
the internal debates
between the heart and the soul
Finding one atom
in a vortex in my mind
all parts and pieces, but where is the whole?
Seems logic's played me
I fell deep
for thedevil's advocate...since '81
Misguided, I loved it
the mystery, excitement
consequence,
I struggle with what I've become
the internal debates
between the heart and the soul
Finding one atom
in a vortex in my mind
all parts and pieces, but where is the whole?
Seems logic's played me
I fell deep
for thedevil's advocate...since '81
Misguided, I loved it

Stop the Suffering
We are all victims of suffering. We become comfortable in suffering because it's familiar. The truth is, most would rather suffer than face the unknown. The effort required to face fear and change our selves on the inside may not seem like a priority in relation to the demands of day to day life in our society. Instead, we accept the suffering and neglect self value. We allow ourselves to take up space in the atmosphere without real purpose...unless we make an effort to find inner peace. Enlightenment will shine on us if we are open to the truth and willing to see our own faults in what we...

Absorb Me
You inhale me
like a joint
but I'm not here to get you high
I'm just here to love you
and I hope its enough
although living with you
sometimes it can get tough
But I'm sticking through
the thick and thin with you
because unfortunately
I'm in love with you
So let me be your drug
let me get you high
roll me up and smoke me
light me up and suck me
but baby don't leave me
high and dry
You inhale me
you suck the life right out of me
if it were anybody else
I'd yell "Hey! Set me the fuck...
