Chains
Dreams
within dreams
consumed
and changed forever
in thrall
of wicked poetry
my freedom and chains
one and the same
an addiction
of sensual becoming
binding
more surely
than a thousand shackles
yet freedom
lives
in transformations
of lust into love
and a souls
inner fire
within dreams
consumed
and changed forever
in thrall
of wicked poetry
my freedom and chains
one and the same
an addiction
of sensual becoming
binding
more surely
than a thousand shackles
yet freedom
lives
in transformations
of lust into love
and a souls
inner fire

Broken Rear Views and Dirty Headlights
Driving through the night
radio up way too loud
still can't drown out
what's rolling through my head
question my lack of guilt
for feelings I'm told I shouldn't have
unrestrained by boundaries
Then they play that damn song
the one you turned up for me
no longer in heavy rotation
no expectation of the memory flood
think about turning it off
but my hand doesn't move
so I sing
Everything is swimming
don't know if you even remember
why it means anything to me
shake my head and half laugh
at the...

Listen To The Sound
I listen to the sound of an old guitar
Dreaming big, I see the stars
The moon at night up in the sky
Living life as time goes by
I listen to the sound of an old guitar
Dreaming big, I see the stars
The moon at night up in the sky
Living life as time goes by
Taking a chance on a life for me
Trying to find my destiny
Hoping for a place to call my home
I just don't want to be alone
It's a long way back from the hell I've known
I've traveled through this winter storm
Afraid to lose and afraid to fall ...
Dreaming big, I see the stars
The moon at night up in the sky
Living life as time goes by
I listen to the sound of an old guitar
Dreaming big, I see the stars
The moon at night up in the sky
Living life as time goes by
Taking a chance on a life for me
Trying to find my destiny
Hoping for a place to call my home
I just don't want to be alone
It's a long way back from the hell I've known
I've traveled through this winter storm
Afraid to lose and afraid to fall ...

Take me back
Take me back
To those vapor nights
That evaporated
With such ease
Back when summer
Reigned with might
And winter
Melted into the seas
Formless figures
Floated free
And whispered
Fathoms sound
The sky did
Freedoms colors bleed
And love
Spread all around
Before vengeful violence
Spread so fast
Like fire
Lit gasoline
When hatreds empire
Grew too vast
And in our hearts
Did cling
Take me back
To a time that's pure
Raw
With...

Spread all around

tundra
I watched these hills
go stone cold gray.
I watched winter
have it's way
The cold wind comes
like the breath
of a first love.
I wanna close
my eyes.
I don’t ever
wanna wake up.
I watched the moon
change
into every shape.
I’ve seen
slivers
of hope
turn into
splinters
of pain.
Tiny scratches
through the wooden
cabinets,
but luck
never came.
I wanna close
my eyes.
I wanna leave this place.
go stone cold gray.
I watched winter
have it's way
The cold wind comes
like the breath
of a first love.
I wanna close
my eyes.
I don’t ever
wanna wake up.
I watched the moon
change
into every shape.
I’ve seen
slivers
of hope
turn into
splinters
of pain.
Tiny scratches
through the wooden
cabinets,
but luck
never came.
I wanna close
my eyes.
I wanna leave this place.

Take your claws off me
Allowing me to escape
This barrel is full
Allowing me to escape

Metamorphosis
Did you mean it?
When you said we're changing
Keep a clear head
Mind your own fucking business
Sick of me yet?
I know someone who is
Distant relationships
Oh god I'm trapped, got sucked in
Keep track of the beat thats got you locked in
We build our cages. You'll never let a key fit.
The prisoner is dressed just like the warden.
Shaking hands with yourself makes everything worth it.
Did you mean it
When you said we were meant
For something better
Or was it something I said instead?

Kain's Epiphany
Like Kain in Menace
Don't know if I care
If I live or die
At times l feel
Like a caged bird
And I just wanna fly
Wanna defy the laws
Of gravity
That reality bestows
Like a rose
Enveloped by concrete
That still managed to grow
Don't know if I care
If I live or die
At times l feel
Like a caged bird
And I just wanna fly
Wanna defy the laws
Of gravity
That reality bestows
Like a rose
Enveloped by concrete
That still managed to grow

Her House
That house full of love and pride,
Not yet stained by my hands,
The safe haven where I like to hide.
I would lose my mind without her touch.
She keeps me from going insane.
Yet, I can’t be there too much.
I can always find my refuge in her home.
When my pain becomes too intense,
It is there I like to roam.
Her voice soft and forgiving,
Her tongue sharp and true,
Guiding me to a new beginning.
That place made of mortar and stone,
A lifeless inanimate object.
But a place where I’m not alone.
Not yet stained by my hands,
The safe haven where I like to hide.
I would lose my mind without her touch.
She keeps me from going insane.
Yet, I can’t be there too much.
I can always find my refuge in her home.
When my pain becomes too intense,
It is there I like to roam.
Her voice soft and forgiving,
Her tongue sharp and true,
Guiding me to a new beginning.
That place made of mortar and stone,
A lifeless inanimate object.
But a place where I’m not alone.

Being comfortable being cold
Through your weary eyes I saw what part I played in the relationship.
The only thing my eyes showed was dried tears, that went away with a wipe.
I felt your heat in the winter & you complained why I didn’t want your love to cover me up.
I endured some of the most coldest nights with you right by my side.
We started to become distant, even though we were apparently love struck by the thought of forever.
(No ice pack but there’s heat on my neck)

PLANNING
If I scamper up
The slanted
Pepperwood
I can reach
The bottom
Of the hanging
Redwood ladder
To the sky…
The slanted
Pepperwood
I can reach
The bottom
Of the hanging
Redwood ladder
