The present is slipping , slide down the back of your throat
Only to be digested.
Choke on the beat of the song that you sway your body to.
Recharge
Up rise
Let your mind drift and your perception become altered
Let your hair hang over your face to shield those piercing eyes.
So sharp
How can someone so warm have such cold eyes.
Look them up and down, let their bodies become chilled
Frozen in time.
Put up a display rope around them and let others come to learn from their mistakes.
The museum of failure at your service.
Vibrate my mind , shapes are so solid
Molecules moving around a million miles per second.
The illusion of science
Day dream
Come back to reality.
See something out of the corner of your eye
But turn to find nothing
Never alone
Or am I?
World of fake
When I want the life of real.
Forecast
Rainy with a side of surprise
Running
Run faster
Each foot lifts from the ground as it pushes away the earth.
I can fly
Who needs love really, I can fly on my own.
Fight instinct
It only gets in the way and crowds your mind
Pushing
Shoving
Less fighting
More peace
Peace
I sit on a lone rock by the lake with my legs crossed underneath me
The sky is deep blue with glitter splattered across it
The mountains are a dark boarder of the horizon
I sit with a clear mind and a unclear understanding on things
Lift them up , organize them and return to me.
I raise my hands
Reaching out to the unknown
I grasp air between my finger tips
I close my hands tight but they are empty
This alternative reality tips back and forth
Fluent movement
Where I become one with myself
Control
Control my life, my body, my mind
Then let me rip it all to shreds just to start fresh and free.
The red and white bloody cells float gracefully around inside my veins
My spirit is in there as well
Swimming ,
Pumping through my veins
Some may say I'm different
But I've become okay with this
Why be a clone, a robot of sorts
When I can be me.
Lean back, touch your head to the ground behind you
Contort
Strain
See the bones that create my body
Enclosed by my flesh
I run through the tall grass, grabbing hand fulls of flowers along the way
I screech to a sudden stop with my toes hanging over the cliff side
Dirt and rocks break away and free fall down .
Love
Compassion
Why does it hide?
Two people
Only two?
Billions of people inhabit this planet and you can only choose one?
Connect
Connect, like you've never connected to any other human being before
Trust
Have faith that this person has pure intentions
After being taught that no one ever has pure intentions
We are human after all.
Push away
Do you come back?
Turning point, moment of truth
Lifetime of truth
Truth, honesty
What's that?
The only way to judge is by action
The lips only lie
The words jump off the tip of your tongue into the moment.
Let the brain process it and produce actions

The Moth And the Butterfly

It's just me and this huge tree out here in the open field. The mountains and other trees keep their distance in the background.
The clouds float lazily overhead watching.
The grasses sway back and forth just like a mind pondering a important decision.
A moth lands on the grass next to me, she is envious of the colorful butterfly that is perched upon the lowest tree branch fluttering it's wings in the sunlight.
I sit there envious as well, but of the towering tree
so strong and solid, yet alone.
roots deep into the ground, it's not going anywhere.
the true commitment
Stay grounded or die.
I sigh, the moth sighs.
Wishes of beauty and strength flood the air.

Words

I own nothing, yet have everything

Every foot step pushes the sand into a foot shaped pattern.

Take a bucket full and pour it into an hourglass

Turn it over and watch the sand transform to time right before your vibrant eyes.

Look causally away, ignore what you see and grow old.

Some days it easier to play the role of being naive

Stuff is more simple this way, and after all you can't blame yourself if you didn't know any better.

But you did know better, They see through you like a window left open in the storm, we all see it.

Your sweet words dissolve like sugar in the rain

Turning into nothing and sliding down the drains never to be heard again.

The lies echo from the sewage tunnels, muffled in the murky green water of trash and grime.

As they drown the words fade and we can scrub our minds clean once again.

The world goes Blind

Leaving, leaving, always leaving

There she goes again skipping through the woods dodging trees and leaping over the poison plants

Nipping the tail of her dreams.

People flood this earth

No land left untouched, no hand left unhealed.

Building, building, always building

They build their mansions on the hill side for others to look up at and envy.

But we know what really goes on behind those double french doors

Pour me a latte

I don't even like the taste but I will tighten my lips and suffer through it just to fit in.

Seeing, seeing, Nobody is seeing

the whole world acts like they had their eyes scratched out

The infection grows, infect my mind, infect my life

Then sell me the antidote at a steep unreachable price.

Interstate of Dreams

Flowing down the interstate like it's a river

Lines fly by like fish headed upstream

Rain drops tip toe across my windshield.

I want this freedom

No, I've earned this freedom.

The road climbs up the gigantic mountain

The storm festers up top just waiting for my arrival.

Green signs give names to the unknown places.

They really are meaningless if you don't have a destination in mind.

Challenges, spontaneous moments and fulfillment live here.

As do I.

A Dollar & Some Change

Eyes welled up

Don't suppress it, pull the knife out.

Watch your wound bleed.

Bodies wear out

loved ones die

life changes.

mourn, because it's the most rational thing to do in a irrational world.

Don't drown the pain with distractions

Sit and soak in it like a soothing bath.

You can't live in a dream world.

Do you dig in your heels and hold onto the past? No.

Keep your feet out of the dirt and embrace a new normal.

whisper to me softly into the night while the rain pelts the windows

Summer turns to fall , the leafs crumple and show off their gold proudly.

The humidity in the air sticks to my lungs and weighs me down

After all , these are just observations

A single black bird grabbing the breeze with his wings , gliding around in circles.

You wish you were up there with him, but your not

Your stuck down here

You better stack your wood pile tall and plentiful

The winter can be rough and unforgiving
