Poet Introduction
Lyricist and poet
I want broken glass in my casket
So hand me that fountain pen
Ima write a goodbye my friend
Please don't get angry- I'm
Signing
You off with an I. O.
U... are the one who brought me to my feet
And although I could never forget
I think I'll let you
Take a step, take a bow
On you own now
Cos' I've been dragging you down
I don't wish for tears
I don't want no violins
I want quiet time, hushush my love
Don't want no roses but broken glass in my casket'll do, and you know it's cheaper too.

A dreamer is me
Pigs fly
Behind closed eyes
As time rolls by
Like waves:
Crashing amongst the bank
Without leaving scars
Deep rough wounds
Then bleeding out like tears
The world spins
But slow enough
To watch the world go by
With your naked Eye
Oh I believe
That nothing is true
Or truly how it seems
I guess that makes me a dreamer
A dreamer is me
Behind closed eyes
As time rolls by
Like waves:
Crashing amongst the bank
Without leaving scars
Deep rough wounds
Then bleeding out like tears
The world spins
But slow enough
To watch the world go by
With your naked Eye
Oh I believe
That nothing is true
Or truly how it seems
I guess that makes me a dreamer
A dreamer is me

Entombed
Four walls and a roof
Entombed
With a floor, all made of wood
Entombed
As airtight as the ocean
Entombed
As uncomfortable as a slat bed
Entombed
Like a chest that sits at the end of your bed
Entombed
But fit for a person
Entombed
Buried deep down underground
Entombed
So they can’t smell the decomposing
Entombed
Or in a ferocious oven burnt
Engulfed
And carefully transferred into an urn
Entombed
Or ashes scattered on the lawn
Released
Or in the ocean
Released...

Sorry seems to be the hardest word
For the words I've never said
The lines I've never read
For the journey that I have spent
In my own perfect picture
For the lies that I have spun
For the effort in my working
For the fire that was lit in my heart,
only to be put out again
I’ve apologized so many times
Its like I can't do one thing right
Like the sun wont shine when I walk outside,
The shadows will enclose us all
And when your eyes theycapture me
All I can see is the hatred you feel
Still I say it again,
In the hope to make it all...

Lost Lust.....
Two eyes
Inflicting flames of
Desire
-
Let lose
Onto laced up lashes
Untangling
-
Blushes of Manequin
Perfection and
Yearning
-
Like pearls
Overtaken by ocean
Unnoticed
-
Such gazes
Mistaken as admiration
lost
-
Revokedmomentarily
Only to be
Forgotton

Midnight lovers
Too much distance
Between the sky and the limit
So lets fly, until they tell us
THAT WE MUST COME DOWN
And lets try to hold on
And never let go OF ALL WE'VE GOT
Cos I wish not to fall
And for when we hit the ground, let our feet touch down
Lets not graze our palms… like we did last time
When I stare into your oh so blue eyes
I see the daytime at night
Up until the perfect sunrise
Then you’re gone, and I fall
You run till your nowhere insight
My blue eyes can’t see your blue eyes anymore
Between the sky and the limit
So lets fly, until they tell us
THAT WE MUST COME DOWN
And lets try to hold on
And never let go OF ALL WE'VE GOT
Cos I wish not to fall
And for when we hit the ground, let our feet touch down
Lets not graze our palms… like we did last time
When I stare into your oh so blue eyes
I see the daytime at night
Up until the perfect sunrise
Then you’re gone, and I fall
You run till your nowhere insight
My blue eyes can’t see your blue eyes anymore

Imperfect
I've been drowning in your blood bath
You knew I couldn't swim
With my head below the water
I watched you walk away
Each footstep took a million
Of the breathes I'd take away
You took each one and sucked them in
Oh your childish selfish ways
You said I don't deserve to live?
I've got nothing in this heart to give
Well you were the one who imperfected me
You were the one who made me like this
So now as you gracefully watch me die
You've no fear to look me in the eye
Yourdementeddaughter cries
And you'll never find her...
You knew I couldn't swim

So now as you gracefully watch me die
You've no fear to look me in the eye

Wont be another day
A heart that burns less evident
Than the tears acidic on her skin
A shaver been dismantled
Wristbands to hide her sins
Another day pretending
Another day she wakes
Another days life sentence
Wont be another day....
Than the tears acidic on her skin
A shaver been dismantled
Wristbands to hide her sins
Another day pretending
Another day she wakes
Another days life sentence
Wont be another day....

The Lioness
Her palm print leaves no leopard prints
On ths paint blotted, rough textured canvas
Her claws are short and varnished black
With his shimmering blood
Dripping off into the abyss
The void leaves the future
Of this artwork uncertain
Will the Lioness mercilessly
Disasemble its prey
Only to devour it?
Or will she release him out of her jaws clasp?
Back into the wild
Where he could live a full and lengthy life
But is the lioness really that type?
Will she let him go without consequence
The answer is NO, this lioness is...

Dagger through my heart
Couldn't have started at the beginning where most stories find their plot
Because I'm finding in every sentence- A new chapter of your thoughts
They say
Every beginning must have an ending
But our story never ended
And I guess that goes to say
This broken heart it aint been mended yet
And as I bleed for you
Yeah now that I've seen it through
I can see you are a dagger through my heart
I'd fight it all off in a second but I'm biding my time guessing
Someday soon I wont be here at all
I'm counting...

And the blade still in his arm
Insidethis dully lit hotel room
Lies a carpetdrenched in unclotted blood
Entrenched in this trail lies the figure
Of a Demonic creature
Who will never get back up
The lamp shades old and tassly
Make the room look cheap and tacky
But the filtered brimmed light shadows the cavity
And the blade still in his arm...
Lies a carpetdrenched in unclotted blood
Entrenched in this trail lies the figure
Of a Demonic creature
Who will never get back up
The lamp shades old and tassly
Make the room look cheap and tacky
But the filtered brimmed light shadows the cavity
And the blade still in his arm...
