to stand with your shadow. the empty hollow cry. i loved you for no reason. other than the kindness in your eye.

where dreams fell behind us. i danced to the ides of march. your ancient wisdom scares me as much as the youngness of your heart.

for people who would rather, find a safe place to reside. i choose to walk beside you. with my hands left untied.

take my open palm. and place your autumn smile inside. ill hold it with me through the winter, and place it under the starts when the spring wind arrives.

but promise me one thing. you'll never try to look behind my eyes. for there hidden in the depth you'll find the  broken remains, and my long lost tulip harp. 

strangers together

i met him, and together we walked along the wayside. hands untied.
                       together we breathed in the moonlight. exhaling suicide.
                       together we sat beside a sunrise. and raised our glass' to the tide.
                    

"in time we have forgotten, the safe place where we hide our pride. we left it beside the truth in our race to beat mankind. we have become so consumed with meeting our future, that we forgot to ask our past, how to direct our present so we don't miss all the moments that will pass.  Some night my child, you will lie awake and find and star to the left side of your heart. in the morning when you wake up you will find the way out of the dark ."

and then i left him, the stranger i sat beside.

another moment passed.

another memory made.

another moment saved.

the knighted sailor

you,
the truer sailor,
bow your head unto the tide.
on your shoulder i rest a feather
a symbol for your pride.
a nobler man than many
the long lost knight of the sea.
lets burn your bridges down together.
come sail your ship round me.

seasonal suicide

with a turned back to the reason, 
you try to filter the pain,

your Closed eyes in the sunshine, 
wont make it fade away

we all know Cats can keep secrets, 
from the mothers of their prey

when you Punish the season, 
you only injure the grain.

Moments aren’t forever, 
hold onto the ones you want to save.

Only silence hears its echo, 
in the hollow of our graves.

my ego and i

closing the garden gate, i face the crossroads. 

unsure which way to turn, i do a slow pirouette and hold the world at my finger tips. 

your playing a game of russian roulette with my future. 

i wonder where is the bullet that you hide. 

coaxing me forwards, i know you will sacrifice me for the tide. 

in my dream im following the seasons, your whisperings are my guide. 

i place a ruby on your tongue to break the curse of eden.

 we fall beyond a sandy shore. the night time is my freedom,

its the only time i breath and can open up my eyes.

 but still you hold me blindfolded on the floor, 

suffocating under the pressure of your pride. 

dancing around wolves with feathers in our hair. we wear trust as a disguise.

so afraid of the future, more afraid of the past

im lost in the present. unsure which way to turn, i do a slow pirouette

trying to grasp the answers slipping past my finger tips.   

my ego and i, slow dancing to time. 

harsh reality

Life is too short, to be anything other than honest. with ourselves.

so why do i keep distorting the view. watching the world through a bent mirror.
i am motivated by an delusions, i believe to be my future. with you. my creation.
willing you to be my master.

a hallucination. a mirage

i am stuck in the illusion that my dreams will become my reality.
i let them consume me. control me. they devour and beat me.

what i would do to give you my dreams.
please take them.

in my dreams i find love
in the flowers and in the shells.

my reality is a desert. they are no flowers. they were no shells.
i am just a grain of sand, being thrown between the dunes.

slowly eroding.

the moons suicide

cursed by a broken feather

the moon hangs silent in the sky

gentle swaying above from side to side

his white flags falling towards the tide.
