Subliminally
If I could choose to cosmetically
change some things
on the outside of me
I would be somewhat, technically
and observationally
a different being
for all to see
If I could choose to theoretically
change my needs
on the inside of me
I would be somewhat, miraculously
always offering
whatever you need
If I could choose to wear your shoes for a day
of course, fashionably
and rationally
I would be in debt to the fantasy
that in all actuality
what we call reality
is just a deformity
from the inside out
change some things
on the outside of me
I would be somewhat, technically
and observationally
a different being
for all to see
If I could choose to theoretically
change my needs
on the inside of me
I would be somewhat, miraculously
always offering
whatever you need
If I could choose to wear your shoes for a day
of course, fashionably
and rationally
I would be in debt to the fantasy
that in all actuality
what we call reality
is just a deformity

R. W.
The bells of tomorrow ring for your spirit
In an instant
Life is over
You brought us joy
a midst your lows
A soldier for the masses
Everyone knows your name
Strangers will be grieving
as your family bares their pain
On screen,
On stage,
In our hearts
-You learned to know
The words that made us think
of not ourselves
of not our wants
You gave us imagery in a picture
we need only envision to be real
keeping a hold on our attention
while we relish in suspense
The bells of tomorrow ring...
In an instant

Admirer
He sees her from accross the room
She pretends she doesnt know
He would see her from accross the world
If he thought she sought him so....
Invisible he seemed to always be
She barely knew his existence
The miniscule amount of hope on his face
kept him barely as a witness
to her laughing and planning
lavish trips to explore-
the world from the eyes of
a young lady at shore.
Soon, the sails would surely whisk her away
to a new land with some new man
and that was ok..*
He only wanted a moment ' ...

Your Conscience
Take her
Put her in your pocket
Don't let strangers watch you talk to her out loud
Save her
Entertain her
Dont let your face give way to any doubt
Persuade her
Dress her up in lights
Remind her that a smile could be as good as gold
Feed her
Her appetite is waiting
It helps her to remember to do as she is told
Love her
For she is all you'll have
Genuine emotions find a passion only grown
Protect her
And she will do the best she can
She will give you purpose you never could have known
Put her in your pocket
Don't let strangers watch you talk to her out loud
Save her
Entertain her
Dont let your face give way to any doubt
Persuade her
Dress her up in lights
Remind her that a smile could be as good as gold
Feed her
Her appetite is waiting
It helps her to remember to do as she is told
Love her
For she is all you'll have
Genuine emotions find a passion only grown
Protect her
And she will do the best she can
She will give you purpose you never could have known

Walk along....
Walk along the shore with me-
Lets remember to look beyond-
the immediate sand right here we see
and look toward the mountain tops.
I looked up to see his shining eyes
so blue, staring down at me.
He held my hand and began to jog
running through history....
Where the shore line faded into subtle stones,
we settled for walking and collecting shells.
The places he's been are all he knows.
He is the decision wherever he goes.
He was a father, a captain at sea,
guiding a crew on a journey off course..
He left far too soon and...

Pink
I am thinking today is meant to be pink.
I am in a pink mood
Pink on my eyes-
Pink in my hair-
I am feeling pink almost everywhere.
The pink rose petals
leave a gentle , sweet scent-
Tomorrow these blooms
may help me forget:
that you once mentioned
how pink is before -
the future of blue,
bringing sadness of sorts.
I am thinking by nightfall
my colors will collide-
and if blue sets in then
I will ease my mind...
with the memory of pink
taking you for a ride.
I am in a pink mood

Today
Escape all the troubles from the pressures of survival.
Drive that road over.
It's never the same.
And when you're exhausted - I will give you an eye full.
Enjoy while you can.
Let me drive you insane.
Drive that road over.
It's never the same.
And when you're exhausted - I will give you an eye full.
Enjoy while you can.

I am Death
----I am Death---------------
To the aging skeleton who compromised his freedom
for a chance to touch skin of a youth near his brow,
I come to you like any demon,
invisible heathen.
No avenue of escape will release you from me now.
You stole years, like you deserved them,
side swiping justice in a gust.
When you should have painfully wilted,
you gained the jury's trust.
No matter, I am fate.
I am death and I am hate.
I am what you are going to feel
to pay on your mistakes.
Inhale me so easily. ...

What I Wouldn't Give
--What I Wouldn't Give----------
What I wouldn't give
To rediscover the patience
Like the first days of summer
That I spent with you
The way we've had to live
has created complications
that are unlike any other
I don't know what to do
What I wouldn't give
To find your warmth in the night
To know you're here by my side
To make peace and not fight
None of us win
Against the flames you ignite
With a fire so high
It stays etched in my mind
What I...

Whore
Captivating ,
time stands still,
when the angels see her.
Incarcerated,
in her own mind.
The world seems very miniscule.
Her wings glow heat
like a summer fever.
If only she could simply fly....
The beautiful is a gnarled ball,
of pain and shame behind a deceitful curtain.
The angels are powerless against her heart.
She lingers on
to conquer no one.
Struggling to make an exit
out of her cell,
with twine wound in her doubt:
she deforms all purpose
as to why she roams
through...

Keep On
2:27 a.m.
Its dark and cold.
He's out there walking towards his home.
He's out there thinking of the unknown.
He's lonely but his heart is gold.
Soon comes a story only hes told.
A sadness starts to take a hold......
2:43 a.m.
He's imagining what life could be like if he took more chances,
reading by candle light the thoughts of strangers glances,
provoking mixed emotions guessing
which is fastest.....
He sees his front door through the lenses of his glasses.
3:18 a.m.
Building a warm fire watching kindling start to burn,...
Its dark and cold.
He's out there walking towards his home.
He's out there thinking of the unknown.
He's lonely but his heart is gold.
Soon comes a story only hes told.
A sadness starts to take a hold......

Lost
I feel I have been undeserving.
I feel that you have created a space.
The thought of why is quite unnerving.
I see the distance in your face.
I don't know where to start, or end.
You need to remember who's your friend.
I try to reconcile the time I've spent.
I need to find you once again.
Angry when the purpose suits you,
happy when I look away,
never knowing what you're into,
never knowing what not to say...
Drink your troubles into oblivion.
Why should we remember now?
When you awake it starts to sink in.
You're lost...
I feel that you have created a space.
The thought of why is quite unnerving.
I see the distance in your face.
I don't know where to start, or end.

I need to find you once again.
Angry when the purpose suits you,
