The Mountain
Don’t blame it on the mountain
When the rain comes falling down
Don’t blame the clouds for your heavy frown
When your tears could fill a fountain
And the ocean couldn’t fill your heart
Take a breath, take some time and then restart
Here we stand and here we fall
Stumbling on the weight of the world
Day by day is the only way to live them all
But don't blame it on the mountain
Don’t blame it on the mountain
When the stars fall across the sky
There are more answers in the stars than in the question why
...
When the rain comes falling down
Don’t blame the clouds for your heavy frown
When your tears could fill a fountain
And the ocean couldn’t fill your heart
Take a breath, take some time and then restart
Here we stand and here we fall
Stumbling on the weight of the world
Day by day is the only way to live them all
But don't blame it on the mountain
Don’t blame it on the mountain
When the stars fall across the sky
There are more answers in the stars than in the question why

Reflections at Midnight
Maybe the fortune teller was right;
hands hanging just above my head
as she searched my soul and read
the tea leafs
(green with envy)
Channeling secrets beyond the clouds
held aloft by angels wings...
Maybe something in the song that they sing
told her I was special
Maybe the stains across my aura;
(left from the caress of an invisible hand
from an early age
that granted the God-given gift
of shame)
don’t make me any lesser

Sleeping In(Daylight Savings)
I speak to spirits that sleep in the flowers
fire touches clouds and fills my mouth
with calm thoughts of things to say
the Sunshine spills all around us as shadows flee
into the last of moonlights mist
whispering through distant trees
The abyss and first truths lips
Touch
then kiss
in a violent embrace
As night
is consumed
by dawn
And sleep-pressed prayers
are swallowed
in yawns
against
darkness bold
and morning hue
pressing...
fire touches clouds and fills my mouth
with calm thoughts of things to say
the Sunshine spills all around us as shadows flee
into the last of moonlights mist
whispering through distant trees
The abyss and first truths lips
Touch
then kiss
in a violent embrace
As night
is consumed
by dawn
And sleep-pressed prayers
are swallowed
in yawns
against
darkness bold
and morning hue
pressing...

Rude Awakenings
Realizing a pattern of neglect
In being the reject
In a long series of one sided relationships
Only to end up being blamed
When she needs to leave
To be with herself
Or the “man of her dreams”
Or anything else
than me
after being used up
on the corner of the street.
How much of yourself can you give
before you've thrown yourself away?
There are bits of me scattered
for miles and whiles
all along
the highway of life
as I stand with my thumb stuck up in the air
begging for a ride
in the...

Long Night Daze (head space)
Darkness sets over chilled shadows
Swallowing the sunset and spitting out stars
Like broken teeth
Count on people disappointing you
And you will never/ever be let down.
I’ve let everybody down
(though I’m not always sure how)
And I’m left alone to toss and turn
across midnight
In a lonely bed
the size of the crashing sea
We worship stars like angels
Until they scatter into prisms
And we all put our masks back on
to pretend to walk like people
in the daylight.
Swallowing the sunset and spitting out stars
Like broken teeth
Count on people disappointing you
And you will never/ever be let down.
I’ve let everybody down
(though I’m not always sure how)
And I’m left alone to toss and turn
across midnight
In a lonely bed
the size of the crashing sea
We worship stars like angels
Until they scatter into prisms
And we all put our masks back on
to pretend to walk like people
in the daylight.

Waiting (insomniac)
I slept a thousand deaths last night
one by one
painfully,
slowly,
and awoke to a world
Crumbling all around me]
Sitting in twilight,
in open hand I hold
A short stemmed glass,
chilled and half full
With empty dreams
and alcohol
On the rocks,
Reflections gone cold
I wait for these demons
To cry me to sleep
And spew out their secrets
deep inside me
Staring at midnight
gasping to breathe,
sighs turn to mist
mixed with starlight
one by one
painfully,
slowly,
and awoke to a world
Crumbling all around me]
Sitting in twilight,
in open hand I hold
A short stemmed glass,
chilled and half full
With empty dreams
and alcohol
On the rocks,
Reflections gone cold
I wait for these demons
To cry me to sleep
And spew out their secrets
deep inside me
Staring at midnight
gasping to breathe,
sighs turn to mist
mixed with starlight

To Fall
I'm thinking of all the things
I never did
And never will
Life keeps breaking my heart
Pieces falling to the ground
As I push through the shattered forest
And think of the days
I was free to wander the night.
I howl at the moon,
Making the crisp air sing
With haunted notes of reverie
Cold thoughts dancing
between timid trees
Dreams stretch downward
into the depths of the deep
Inching through the centuries
Gasping to breathe the frozen sky
Through the clenched teeth
Of...
I never did
And never will
Life keeps breaking my heart
Pieces falling to the ground
As I push through the shattered forest
And think of the days
I was free to wander the night.
I howl at the moon,
Making the crisp air sing
With haunted notes of reverie
Cold thoughts dancing
between timid trees
Dreams stretch downward
into the depths of the deep
Inching through the centuries
Gasping to breathe the frozen sky
Through the clenched teeth
