Unexpected


My mind is on auto pilot and there is a short in the system

Prepare the runway for my crash landing

I'm coming in fast and my outcome doesn't look well at all

I just drift with the air current

The days pass

Waiting for me to burn in the yesterdays that are below me.

Your eyes


I see a galaxy in your eyes

sparkling through

But then there's that black hole in your soul

Sucking the life out of anything near

I tend to my wounds

How do you mend something that isn't physical there?

I will just let my heart gape open

Leaking a trail of blood as I walk around the world in a zombie like state.

People stare

But that's beyond what I care about these days

Maybe you can be in the realms of the little I do still care about

I imagine myself diving into a lake

Hidden deep in the forest

Sink down to the bottom

Come up to the surface refreshed

Renewed.

Put a Chain around my neck because that's the only way you will hold me down.

I'm at high risk of disappearing

As quickly as I came

I'm gone

Never to be seen again

Sure, you might think of me time to time

Pass somewhere that holds meaning.

But the memories will fade out with the lost connection

I'll just keeping doing what I do

To live will be my only goal.

I was born not to worry

So I will continue on with this vagabond life

All the people I connect with along the way

I will absorb anything I can learn from you

Teach me

Roses

A rain drop forms at the tip of the branch

Bubbling up until it gets ready to burst and fall to the ground

Time steals away your loved ones when you turn around

All you have left is a empty shell of what used to be

Empty rooms

Empty beds

A closet full of clothing that no longer has a owner

A fate of becoming ashes in a box is unavoidable

Run run run

Time chases you down with greedy eyes

It only hurts if you let it

Curl up in the fetal position

Embrace the sharp stabbing sensation

This is how I live

Bones, how I love them

I have fallen into a dream again

Can you please throw me a rope to escape?

Remember that white picket fence that surrounded our yard?

It is now rotted and crumbling

Just like our love

The roses have passed their season.

We both must split ways now

Find a new garden

Fly with me?

We could take off and never look back

My name is irrelevant

Velvet Hillsides

My thoughts were murdered, now I struggle to find replacements

Sitting there listen to lies formulated by your lips

I'm tired, your tired

I cringe and my eyes become dull

The land seemed to be covered in green velvet.

I hiked several hours that early morning.

The sun challenged me to a race to the top of the hill.

I won

Now I sit and wait for the light to meet up with me again

My bare skin is tickled as I lay back on to the grass

Outstretched

Laying here stuck in the limbo of awake and sleep

the battle begins

That is where I create and my words link together to mean something, anything

This is where I find peace

sleep or wide awake, who's going to win

sleep tugs at my mind, close your eyes and come with me

Forget about the living world , you don't need them

Sleep is always lonely

sleep kidnaps me at night until I escape it's dreams and nightmares coming into the morning

Wake up

another day is here

the days start blurring together and the rain keeps pouring

everyone stays inside, but I go out

Embrace the wet cold

let it soak my hair and pour down my face and body

my tears blend in when it's like this

Wild Soul

The grey clouds snarl and spit rain at me

Keep me grounded, I'm a kite whipping around in the ocean winds

Tug on my line as I try to escape.

I need my thoughts to be strong right now

But I need my words to be even stronger

You let the river dry up a long time ago and all that's left is a rock bed and now you have to sleep in it

Life is..

 

Life is ...
Agony, discomfort, prosperity and thriving

We all float around this world with irrelevant goals and hopes

Only to be buried in the dirt after time catches up

I'm going to dig my way out

Rise up with bloody fingers from scratching open my wooden casket

Life is... a lot of things

To you it's "this" and to me it's "that"

Different paths

Same ending

Similar meaning




Pocket Map

Take the world and fold it up small like a map

Put it in your pocket and save it for later.

Paging myself to the present

I've been gone a long while

The wires must be crossed

The towers communicate back and forth

Static

Interference distorts what's around me

My eyes flicker up and down with Black and white dots

I raise my hands towards the sky in hopes of catching a signal more clear.

Can you Hear me?

                                                        

Filed Away under Timeless


The breeze blows violently
My mind tips over and spills
Rush to scope up my memories off the cluttered floor
Stuff them back into my head carefully
Keep them fresh and organized
So I can go pull them out and visit them easily
Flip through the files with your fingertips
Stop at L for Love
Continue on to T for timeless
I can't help but smile after reliving it briefly
I revisited a moment where nothing mattered but the strong gaze between our eyes
Hand in hand, the waves are crashing all around us, but I know I'm safe here
I don't want to leave, Grip onto this moment forever
Everything around us is in movement, we are as still and solid as statues engraved into time
I come back to, reality sinks back in, as well as that sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach
The world may be crumbling but I still have my memories to among

Airport

The airport was so cold, so impersonal.

But deep down that's the reason I like it here.

Surrounded by people but no obligations to connect

Muffled voices of the surrounding crowds comfort me

Everyone here is so different yet so the same

The sounds of heels and dress shoes hitting the terminal floor

Rushing by , always in a hurry.

The whiff of Cologne that reminds you of a moment from the past.

It tingles my noise and awakens my senses.

Numbers, times flash across the blue illuminated board

Connect me to my next flight

I'm gone
