and so loud
yes, I was lazy, but also scared
working in the factory, everything and everyone seemed so hard
to remember it now

part of the crowd
let me
hurry
and rush
uptown,
let me
become
part of
the crowd,
it's lonely
being
just one.

Pickpockets
No one cares until narcistic pickpockets
steal their echoes from worn out shoes
along with memories of Mr. Bojangles
now a shadow of growing old until
narcistic pickpockets steal their echoes
steal their echoes from worn out shoes
along with memories of Mr. Bojangles
now a shadow of growing old until
narcistic pickpockets steal their echoes

Today 9:10pm
Today 9:10pm
some days my fears are louder than my sanity
Your silence is so loud
I hear everything it has to say
but none of it's true
it's just my fear filling in the blanks
Just because I feel like a ghost
doesn't mean I want to be one
there is nothing beautiful
about being made of glass bones
everyone thinks they can see through
like my existence is obvious
yet irrelevant
You found my haunting place
and turned the lights on
and told me my shadow
wasn't my reflection
it was just science my imagination forgot
I thought you were magic ...

everyone thinks they can see through
like my existence is obvious
yet irrelevant
You found my haunting place
and turned the lights on
and told me my shadow

They Come and Go
They come and go
Passers-by
They stop to refuel and then go on their way
Some stay a little longer to browse
Shop
Getting to know the locals
Then they disappear into the highway
Some stay awhile
Make friends
They begin to thrive in this strange town
Calling it a home
And then one day, just as they came in
They vanish into the night
They come and go
These travelers
Traversing the universe
Sharing stories and telling tales
And the shop keepers
With wanderlust
Wonder what’s beyond ...

Why?
When I see you cry,
I see an ocean
in your eyes,
drowning you from inside.
A tempest raging;
scarlet scarring your skies...
Heat of your pain
like a thick fog
damping your sight...
A silent scream
"O god why..."

Sunk Deep in Baton Rouge
Sunk Deep in Baton Rouge
“Hello Pops. Sorry to intrude on my wonderfully studious young man in the middle of deep tort contemplations, but I have a little problem. Our house has flooded. So here I am with no adult assistance with our three-year-old son and the water, water is everywhere to borrow a phrase from Coleridge’s ‘Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner.’ Could you get in that wonderful jalopy your Mom bought for us and take us to dry ground?”
“The car is flooded as well I am afraid. I am at the chapel on campus. Wait just a short while and I am sure the car will revive...

Last Call
Shes beautiful
yet full of sadness
Shes sits alone
yet she is intriguing
The smoke is her soul
soon it will be disappear
The glass of life awaits her lips
whens she ready...
Her mind is full of apologies
yet she has no regrets
A life well lived
mistakes painfully made
She can still smile
yet none are for me
Bartender, send her another
for last call and old times
And dont tell it was from me
She...
yet full of sadness
Shes sits alone
yet she is intriguing
The smoke is her soul
soon it will be disappear
The glass of life awaits her lips
whens she ready...
Her mind is full of apologies
yet she has no regrets
A life well lived
mistakes painfully made
She can still smile
yet none are for me

Silence That Devours
i knock but the door does not open
i speak my name into the dark
but even the echoes refuse to answer
the walls should hold memories
but they are empty
hollow bones of a place that never wanted me
the mirror stands waiting
but i am not in it
i press my hand to the glass
expecting warmth
but it is only cold only blank
only a reflection of nothing
somewhere a door swings open to nothing
somewhere my shadow walks without me
i thought if i waited long enough
the silence would break
that...
i speak my name into the dark

expecting warmth
but it is only cold only blank

Losing one’s Mind
Losing one’s Mind
A fading darkness behind the eyes
Leaving behind a pillar of lies
Exposing a framework of cries
And a crown of bone
The deep sparks of the mind
Begin to lose their bind
Cutting out the ability to find
A mind to call your own
Great circuits fall quiet for ever
Leaving no more endeavor
To banish the skin of night in the never
And no sight in the light shone
The gears soon turn without guide
Purpose is gone to hide
A blind and rumbling thing to side
With whatever...
A fading darkness behind the eyes
Leaving behind a pillar of lies
Exposing a framework of cries
And a crown of bone
The deep sparks of the mind
Begin to lose their bind
Cutting out the ability to find
A mind to call your own
Great circuits fall quiet for ever
Leaving no more endeavor
To banish the skin of night in the never
And no sight in the light shone
The gears soon turn without guide
Purpose is gone to hide
A blind and rumbling thing to side
With whatever...

Stress
Stress
Staring out the window.
Spreadsheet on the computer.
Figures for review.
5 O'clock decision demanded.
But I stare out the window.
Only figure on my mind is yours.
How you just pop up in my thoughts.
Distract me from my tasks.
Maybe it was a scent,
or work drudgery,
that made my mind wander.
Tough decision,
much pressure and stress.
But there I am laying in bed,
you caressing my chest.
Dam'it, focus!
Less I concentrate,
the more I stress.
Decision make, ...

Contemplation- It Must Be
It must be nice
to have family and friends
people who know you
and build your confidence
There's always someone
who likes to pretend
A store clerk, a coworker,
but they are not your friend
I love the ones
that go to church
They say they love you,
but don't care that you hurt
"Don't worry, God is with you
and will give you strength",
but when you don't feel it
you just feel strange
It must be fun
when you get that call
Just to see how you are
for no reason...
to have family and friends
people who know you
and build your confidence
There's always someone
who likes to pretend
A store clerk, a coworker,
but they are not your friend
I love the ones
that go to church
They say they love you,
but don't care that you hurt
"Don't worry, God is with you
and will give you strength",
but when you don't feel it
you just feel strange
It must be fun
when you get that call
Just to see how you are
for no reason...
