Ego Found
I sought you, looked for you
in strange places, while I decayed
My ego
The wholeness of my self
The fullness of my being
And now, I stride, and sing,
and gaze, chuffed, at mirrors
in strange places, while I decayed
My ego
The wholeness of my self
The fullness of my being
And now, I stride, and sing,
and gaze, chuffed, at mirrors

out of place
sometimes
i may
seem
out
of place,
but i
feel
comfortable
where
i am.

Me Myself
I'm being me
As much as i can be
And cannot venture
In any other direction
No other expectation
Otherwise, what else
I simply cannot see
For now
And all eternity

Stars
In the night sky's vast incandescence.
Stars whisper secrets of wind presence.
Dreams ignite with hopeful persistence.
Guiding hearts with gentle fluorescence.
Stars whisper secrets of wind presence.
Dreams ignite with hopeful persistence.
Guiding hearts with gentle fluorescence.

Another Dawn Fades to Dusk
Nightmares calling
So I rush
Through the Pain

Especially me
Especially me
I was made by God
A long time a go
Also I always try To
Think positive
I am always glad
That I am alive
Every day
I was made by God
A long time a go
Also I always try To
Think positive
I am always glad
That I am alive
Every day

I hear you talking in your sleep
I hear you talking
In your sleep
It is quiet annoying
Because I am
Also trying to sleep
And its you
That keeps me waking me
Up
I don't appreciate that
I am being firm with you
In your sleep
It is quiet annoying
Because I am
Also trying to sleep
And its you
That keeps me waking me
Up
I don't appreciate that
I am being firm with you

Teary Storm
With cloudburst in my eyes
and a downpour of tears,
teardrops drizzle down my face.
and a downpour of tears,
teardrops drizzle down my face.

Grey cells
I think, for myself.
I, love words.
Regurgitating,
Is for the birds.

sweet dreams (revisited)
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2009
when i cannot sleep
i dream of you
often lately in the deep night
i dream of you
and am soothed
in so many ways
so many days
many dreams
yet only dreams
alone
lonely
sweet dreams
when i cannot sleep
i dream of you
often lately in the deep night
i dream of you
and am soothed
in so many ways
so many days
many dreams
yet only dreams
alone
lonely
sweet dreams

my scars
my scars
run much
deeper
than any
someone
will see
on the
surface.
