Reminiscing
Morning sounds,
The wind howls
In a smooth tone
I am not alone
I face each day
By the bay
In a house on stilts
Breathing in the ocean air
Wondering if you’re still there
The kind sea
Much like a lost memory
I hold on
For I was very fond
A cup of coffee in hand
I had plans
Obligations,
All moving in a swift clockwork rotation
I stare at a raging sea
I wonder if you miss me
The wind howls
In a smooth tone
I am not alone
I face each day
By the bay
In a house on stilts
Breathing in the ocean air
Wondering if you’re still there
The kind sea
Much like a lost memory
I hold on
For I was very fond
A cup of coffee in hand
I had plans
Obligations,
All moving in a swift clockwork rotation
I stare at a raging sea
I wonder if you miss me

Sweet dreams
The petals drift off to an unforeseen land
While the wind whispers
Of Nothing but peace
And bittersweet sleep
I drift off to my dreams
The ones I live to see
I breathe a sigh
When the sun had to rise
I bid my goodbye
And hoped to see them again
I don’t know where to begin
While the wind whispers
Of Nothing but peace
And bittersweet sleep
I drift off to my dreams
The ones I live to see
I breathe a sigh
When the sun had to rise
I bid my goodbye
And hoped to see them again
I don’t know where to begin

Brandenburg Gate
The air seems stale
The light is clouded
With the heavy veil
Of a broken fate
I walk the gallows walk
One step at a time
Closer to freedoms tale
Of the Brandenburg Gate
The air is fresher the dreams are brighter
The love is sweeter and destiny higher
The pain is lessened and the people don't hate
The long gallows walk to the Brandenburg Gate
The light is clouded
With the heavy veil
Of a broken fate
I walk the gallows walk
One step at a time
Closer to freedoms tale
Of the Brandenburg Gate
The air is fresher the dreams are brighter
The love is sweeter and destiny higher
The pain is lessened and the people don't hate
The long gallows walk to the Brandenburg Gate

A Dummy and his Man
A man and his dummy
(Wayland and madame)
Ran into a ventriloquist
Wanted to get both sides
Man and his puppet
But he said I had to decide
Who I wanted to talk to
I thought they were…one and the same
But he had two sides
The side of a dummy
And his true life
Didn’t think I would have to make a choice
But it’s clear to see
That the man and his dummy
Are two separate beings
They’re two separate beings
Just two separate beings
The man puts him on the shelf
And then the...

GREATER PLAN IN MOTION
Here I am as I sit here within my own chains of thoughts, here amongst the elements that give me. MUCH of what that brings me my thoughts of tranquility. For sure we need to take a moment, to just analyze the deepness of our deepest thoughts. As it is necessary to understand that what we, sometimes have to learn to go through. It's just another time to refocus of our thoughts, that we have to learn how things really work. Within this new world of dictatorship and order. Just as much we can try to denie the truth of what we really see 👁️ For the world has gotten worser not...

Calloused
I've prayed on my knees until my callouses turned into stone. Prayers unheard, Lord am I alone?
I've flooded this earth with my very tears and pounded the dirt until it shook with fear.
I pleaded for you to lend me your ear.
I've scavenged my soul to make it whole.
Surviving wars did take it's toll.
Lord I just want to know.
Why do you let the Devil temp me so?

Wished
Fringes fray.
People stray.
Everything is just fine.
What a wonderful life.
What a wonderful life.
It's no wonder I can't decide to divide myself from past to present.
I gift myself wrapped problems.
Do you ever wander to feel unbound?
I loved to live alive.
Sometimes you get what you ask for,
Just asked you to stop alright?
In life dont be a wisher because I wished upon the stars.
We fell but I fell apart.
Happy worthday!
I am worth more then this.
Romance another day.
Lets just sit and burn the night...

The Tyranny of Time
hell on earth began with the tick, tick, tock of a clock
telling me I'm late for an early grave
but truth be told I've been late for everything
even kept my mom waiting forever in labor pains
that was the first time I didn't let anyone push me around
so began a lifetime of refusing to move to commands
It's not so much the responsibility I mind
but the oppression and tyranny of time
being ruled by that artificial construct of society
once we lived by natural laws
using the seasons, moon, and stars
to tell us...

escapism is my addiction- through the five sense; the "sixth"-marinated thoughts that one sits with....

too honest for my own good-due to time in solitude-double edged illusions-including the ability to escape- but I'll never not digest a hamburger-because I'm too addicted to its taste....
pickings from some sort of "delicious side" to go with a tender steak....that desire is what makes one weary as well as...

a dreamers' sensual bliss
there's rare, and then there's- "something else" most only dream of; an unearthly measure of chemistry not limited to what occurs physically or indoctrinated information wired into ones' head; a bond- yet not bound.... hardly any stress- both parties understands the needs of the flesh to flesh....
one could only dream, of an ideal companionship- that probably will never happen in this "life" (assuming there's another life time awaiting after death)
lonliness to one like oneself.... like reoccurring psychological sharp...
