Skim the surface
Filter any imperfections
Its clear crystalline perfection
Ever so tempting
Within its depths
Against its rocky bottom
Debris has settled
Bleeding it's toxins

Decay
Decay begins
Quietly creeping
Unnoticed
Behind the walls
They seem so strong
Cracks begin to show
Stains spread out
Marring the perfect surface
Quietly creeping
Unnoticed
Behind the walls
They seem so strong
Cracks begin to show
Stains spread out
Marring the perfect surface

Broken
Hear you through the walls
So much screaming and stomping
There are cracks in your facade
See it now through all
Those empty hellos spoken
Passing through the hallway
Hate radiates within you
The love you've broken
Her sobs will haunt you
Though you are without a soul
So much screaming and stomping
There are cracks in your facade
See it now through all
Those empty hellos spoken
Passing through the hallway
Hate radiates within you
The love you've broken
Her sobs will haunt you
Though you are without a soul

Slumber
She lies beneath the willow branches
Watching fireflies flash their sacred code
Cicadas hum, her lids begin to close
The rich scent of earth, her last memory
She dreams of fairies, of knights, and dragons
Never wanting to wake to the dull world
Watching fireflies flash their sacred code
Cicadas hum, her lids begin to close
The rich scent of earth, her last memory
She dreams of fairies, of knights, and dragons
Never wanting to wake to the dull world

My Wagon
Some only see a blue
Plastic shell
Green wheels and
Yellow handle
Worn and tattered, shedding
Faded stickers
He is so much more
We plow through frozen tundra
Unearth ruins in
My backyard, explore
Caverns and search
For buried treasure
My silent companion through
Our adventures
Plastic shell
Green wheels and
Yellow handle
Worn and tattered, shedding
Faded stickers
He is so much more
We plow through frozen tundra
Unearth ruins in
My backyard, explore
Caverns and search
For buried treasure

Our adventures

Our Journey
Lie against your skin
All warmth and
Thundering heartbeats
Remember when we
were young, all
Sex and hormones
Grand aspirations
Dreams still fresh
Now the lines creep in
Our path so different
Than we thought
Still we journey together
All warmth and
Thundering heartbeats
Remember when we
were young, all
Sex and hormones
Grand aspirations
Dreams still fresh
Now the lines creep in
Our path so different
Than we thought
Still we journey together
Untitled
Clues are here
For those who seek
Dreams still fresh
Soon to be forgotten
Close your eyes
I will whisper
the name across
the winds of
Imagination

Cinema
Light flows through the darkness
A scene begins
Shadows mingle, everything is hazy
Transparent and hard to grasp
Shifts to another scene
Of pain and heartache
Things long past
Almost forgotten
Flash to a new scene
Sunlight and laughter
Kisses stolen on a warm summer day
Turns again to another scene
Filled with screams
Evil lurking in the dark
Unseen, unknowing
It creeps closer
I open my eyes
A scene begins
Shadows mingle, everything is hazy
Transparent and hard to grasp
Shifts to another scene
Of pain and heartache
Things long past
Almost forgotten
Flash to a new scene
Sunlight and laughter
Kisses stolen on a warm summer day
Turns again to another scene
Filled with screams
Evil lurking in the dark
Unseen, unknowing
It creeps closer
I open my eyes

Cabin Fever
Sunlight filters through
Swaying leaves
Fragrant florals
Infuse the air
Crisp warm grass
Beneath bare feet
New life in bloom
Fingers carving
Intricate circles
In the Sand
Swaying leaves

Paper Boxes
Light has no place here
Blue again in my longing
Moments pass, stretching
Into eternity reaching
For yellow sunlight
For hope wrapped
In paper boxes
We trade screams
Like kisses
Blue again in my longing
Moments pass, stretching
Into eternity reaching
For yellow sunlight
For hope wrapped
In paper boxes
We trade screams
Like kisses

An Emptiness
Encompassing emptiness
Tumbling towers and
Crackling pages
A loss long forgotten
Numbing pain hidden
Within a smile
Fragile thoughts
Flutter within
And without
Seeking a blossom
Of wisdom
Carefully erased with
Gentle strokes
Tumbling towers and
Crackling pages
A loss long forgotten
Numbing pain hidden
Within a smile
Fragile thoughts
Flutter within
And without
Seeking a blossom
Of wisdom
Carefully erased with
Gentle strokes
Seasons
Wind chimes sing softly
In the summer breeze
Ripples slink across the lake
Cattails drum against its shore
Leaves in their Autumn colors
Lightly cover the lake
Debris slowly settles
Ice encrusts its surface
Fish lay on its bottom
Sleeping through winter's chill
Trees bloom busily
Sprinkling petals across
Its swollen expanse
In the summer breeze
Ripples slink across the lake
Cattails drum against its shore
Leaves in their Autumn colors
Lightly cover the lake
Debris slowly settles
Ice encrusts its surface
Fish lay on its bottom
Sleeping through winter's chill
Trees bloom busily
Sprinkling petals across
Its swollen expanse
Ho Hum
I just want to hide today
Stay under the covers
Dream the world away
Drowning in responsibilities
Stay under the covers
Dream the world away
Drowning in responsibilities

Ants
I examine them
Ever industrious
They gather
And Build
Speak their
Silent histories
In homes
Sheltered tight
Content with
All they have
The others
Only prosper
Through war
They line up
In endless ranks
Devouring all
In their path
Tear the flesh
With viscous
Mouths
Ever industrious
They gather
And Build
Speak their
Silent histories
In homes
Sheltered tight
Content with
All they have

Only prosper
Through war
They line up
In endless ranks
Devouring all
In their path
Tear the flesh

Mouths
Evolution
I watch the ticker
Scroll across the screen
It forms words
Of destruction
Man's souls seared
By hatred, Repeat
The same history
Base desires rule
Us still, awaiting
Our evolution
Scroll across the screen
It forms words
Of destruction
Man's souls seared
By hatred, Repeat
The same history
Base desires rule
Us still, awaiting
Our evolution
Snooze
No light yet
On horizon
Alarm chases
Away timeless
Dreams, soon
Forgotten
First to wake
To begin
Preparations
For the new day
On horizon
Alarm chases
Away timeless
Dreams, soon
Forgotten
First to wake
To begin
Preparations

Leaf
Withered and broken
I fall
Tumbling down
Carried by the wind
I touch the ground
I die
Only to be reborn again
With the coming of spring
I fall
Tumbling down
Carried by the wind
I touch the ground
I die
Only to be reborn again
With the coming of spring
Bound
Fear has held me fast
Bound my thoughts
And actions, now
Is the time to face
Them all, to begin
Again, to become
What I should be
Bound my thoughts
And actions, now
Is the time to face
Them all, to begin
Again, to become
What I should be
My Loves
Give them all I have
Nothing held back
They are my hope
My life is theirs
Now I'm drained
Losing myself
A little more
Someday they'll
Appreciate the gift
I gave
Nothing held back
They are my hope
My life is theirs
Now I'm drained
Losing myself
A little more
Someday they'll
Appreciate the gift
I gave

Possession
I want to feel your breath
Taste it
With every touch
You are mine
Excruciating beauty
Every moment of your
Life is mine
I watch you move
Capture every moment
Taste it
With every touch
You are mine
Excruciating beauty
Every moment of your
Life is mine
I watch you move
Capture every moment
Change
Unified by dreams
From the past
Captured by emotions
Of this moment
Uncertain future
Fears consume us
Dreams discarded
Replaced by rationality
Stresses erode the mind
Purpose flutters away
From the past
Captured by emotions
Of this moment
Uncertain future
Fears consume us
Dreams discarded
Replaced by rationality
Stresses erode the mind
Purpose flutters away

Landslide
Slip a little farther
Dig my roots in
The soil is weak
Rain hastens my fall
Close my eyes
Weightless for a
Moment, tumbling
Embrace the freedom
The loss of control
Until I crash
Buried beneath
A mountain of debris
Dig my roots in
The soil is weak
Rain hastens my fall
Close my eyes
Weightless for a
Moment, tumbling
Embrace the freedom
The loss of control
Until I crash
Buried beneath
A mountain of debris
Sun Watchers
Morning's kiss
Leaves diamonds
Scattered across
A field of grass
Flowers waken
Their faces
Turn toward
The rising
Sun
Leaves diamonds
Scattered across
A field of grass
Flowers waken
Their faces
Turn toward
The rising
Sun
