riptide
there's a crack in my mind where lucid me is leaking out
while everything seems normal now everything is in doubt
i don't know how to bridge the breach that's causing me to see
a crack too wide with a flow too strong to save a lucid me
while everything seems normal now everything is in doubt
i don't know how to bridge the breach that's causing me to see
a crack too wide with a flow too strong to save a lucid me

static
how could i know if what
i've lost is worth reclaiming
if i didn't look at what i had
when it was mine
it took a little time to see the past
was not sustaining
i'd been constricted by a
vision ill defined
another angel cries as she
collapses at my feet
her shoulders bear the weight
of my imagined crimes
she says that i've spent way too long
looking over my shoulder
and now i'm due to walk
the other side of time
( that's the last of the edited ink lads and lasses.
thanks for not snoring too...

fallacy burns
i failed to see the fallacy of a love
that's interwined
and kept my self available to the back
door of my mind
i was fighting with an ego
as lust held the inner rooms
this fallacy i refused to rate
has a legacy of ruins
with an honest will i set my task in
hope the love unwound
through smoke and ash i could not deny the
damage that i found
i could not bear my actions being the
destruction of honest trust
through ashen tears i fought the rising flames
lit by the fallacy of lust
that's interwined
and kept my self available to the back
door of my mind
i was fighting with an ego
as lust held the inner rooms
this fallacy i refused to rate
has a legacy of ruins
with an honest will i set my task in
hope the love unwound
through smoke and ash i could not deny the
damage that i found
i could not bear my actions being the
destruction of honest trust
through ashen tears i fought the rising flames

blind piper
i like to sing the songs for you
that you love to hear me sing
i'm so sorry that i can only do this for you now and then
because you know i don't always see the picture the way that it's been painted
the colours so often run and soon it's grey again
that you love to hear me sing
i'm so sorry that i can only do this for you now and then
because you know i don't always see the picture the way that it's been painted
the colours so often run and soon it's grey again

insomnia
so as they've laid him down to sleep
their night will hold not 'ere a peep
as he laid there waiting wired awake
for the first trill cries of a world at hate
the fall of one gave rise to the next
set of pathways that lead him away from the nest
and a laugh is a cry once you've cried till you laughed
nine stitches sewn in to save time for the past
searing holes through his soul cigar burns of sorrow
in yesterday's nightmares are the cries of tomorrow
kicking so hard to get out of the shallows
a life saving hand pulled him into...

love cohesion
i've spoken words i've not heard myself say
and had arms around me that were not felt
i've been an obstruction without being in the way
and i've lost with the winning card dealt
i've sailed across oceans with no water in sight
and drowned in a vast desert sky
i've argued the point until wrong became right
and made love in the face of a lie
i've stumbled drunk without touching a drink
and set fire to a forest with no trees
convincing myself to ignore what i think
i've murdered from down on my knees
i've wandered for years in insomniac...
and had arms around me that were not felt
i've been an obstruction without being in the way

likeness
there are those beyond our means
we are beyond the means of some
in the dark our screams all mean the same
and by this means we are one
we are beyond the means of some
in the dark our screams all mean the same
and by this means we are one

the problem with mary
mary had a little lamb
it's fleece was white as snow
everywhere that mary went
the lamb was sure to
shit on the veranda
shit on the back patio
shit on the kitchen bloody floor
fuck you and your sheep mary
get a job
it's fleece was white as snow
everywhere that mary went
the lamb was sure to

smile
one of the billion things i love about you
is that when you smile you are breathtaking
if you smiled everywhere you went you would own the world
of all the things i wish were true
and believed i could never give to you
the answer was before me all the while
all i need to do is make you smile
At the risk of boring ya's, I only post on DU so I'd like to repost some of my writes that have been punctuated and in some cases changed completely. Feel free to pass over the ones already read. Should only take a few days. Thanks for your patience.

entropy
i know nothing about limits but i've had as much as i can take
a wont resolve to stay afloat does not a sailor make
the mist off lake perception invokes an ever daily rain
that flows into misconceptions of my ever growing shame
a wanton need to stress the ice and a due desire to sink
sends me out into the firing line to find a quiet place to think
i so badly need a better way to find a better way
because it's changed the way i think and it's changed the things i say
i haven't always seen the trains that have caught me on the tracks
and i haven't...

transient
i'm stretched so thin
i'm translucent
that something just off true vision
look at me directly
and i disappear
