Who Are You?

Seems like its raining everyday
in every way
good intentions
and voices in my head
so I asked...
Who are you?

Seems like the clouds
rule the skies
because I am waiting
because I am undecided.

Voices from the edge of my bed
and from the stars
and in my dreams
and in the words of friends
and from strangers
and from the fallen leaves
in a summer's day.

No one knew I was listening
to keys and strokes
to signs and visions

so I asked...
Who are you?

Oh' God
My friend..

Who are you?

I came here to live
and I am not leaving here
so I can die.

Heavy rain on my skin
sun scorched
peel back and away
tear and bleed

I pray facing the sun
on the cloudiest and rainy days
some how, its rays penetrate
through the clouds and into my soul.

Who are you?

Why do you love me?

I am not worthy.

Paint The Town

Let's paint the town
run to places
spray cans in hand
paint on all the faces

statues be like

"Uh Uh"

I be like

"Yup"

All the lies
a friend can tell
All the truths
a friend can seek
just to break apart

selfish..

that's all I can say.

statues be like

"Uh Uh"

I be like

"Yup"

Your face
yellow now
marble and cold
no one to really hold.

Sad thing is.
You woke up like that.

Love Suicide

10 hours to 1
5 days to 50
all seem the same
all seem nifty
losing sense
and sensibility
seem seclusion
was a way,
found you
1 year ago today,
I lived and lost before -
then i saw you
purple carnations
a foot in the door

either I run away
or I stay
I would find a way
or I remain
can't seem to
but it seems to
work in ways
I can't seem to explain

We found a river in a desert place

The enemy searched
seeking to destroy
I find myself living,
unharmed and in joy

so simple - not caring anymore
I walked through the door

Love Suicide

go all in
or nothing at all.

I AM ONE

awake
and
self reflective
moving forward
with
no directive
I am like
no adjective
numb
in the waste up
obstructive


I had a dream

I hit the dog in between the eyes
because I felt unsafe
and I made it difficult
to heal the wounds of the attacker.

I made it run blindly
towards a wall
I made it cripple
and made it crawl

I am words
explicit
and
detail
oriented
I am clear
broken
and
in constant
reconstruction

I am words
unafraid
and
challenged
I am clear
warring against
the
constant
deconstruction

*****Pace like a broken record..

I am one

I am soft spoken

I am defensive

I am simple

Mad slick
with
verbal violence
why?

I am

I am

I am

The Promise of Death

I promise you
You will die

so we walk slowly
everything we do is vain
we are just passing time
and we worry about the next day
Why?

I promise you
You will die

Love is the only answer....

There Was This Thing

there was this thing
kind of lost
today my emotions so vague
Is this ok?

I can't cry
but I can run
I can't argue
but I can hide
I can't debate
but I can stare
into everything
city lights
window - scapes
looking at me
as I look at them
walk around in their flat
they will never know
how I feel.

there was this think
believing
you know faith?
seem to toss me
back into the deep
again and again
If He is
really a loving God
then I would
really feel safe.

The Owl Speaks

The journey, the journey
look ahead
see the battle?
guns exploding,
smoke in the air
captains waiving their flags
canons pushed back
soldiers screaming
as they fall to the ground.

seems like the world
will turn one more time

It doesn't matter
you know, the battles ahead
as long as we live our lives today.

Be merry and taste joy
the remnant clouds will pass.
