Air

see the blind
and be thankful

for sight

hear a sigh
and be thankful

you can listen to sorrow

see the dead
breathe and be thankful
for tomorrow

cause you can only assume
from a moment
that the next will be waiting

so see what is not
all around you

but don't linger

be thankful
for what is...
only you

are there to hold on to
not sanity
a house
or a home

a club
or a tomb

listen
i am the sick sad
devotion

dwindling
and distant
as a midnights prayer

open your eyes
with hope and knowing
to find
only air

I wanted it all
but my all wasn't fair

all your hurting
my despair

how can there be
happy there?

with all our wanting
who can care

and when we let go
i'll just disappear
...

Un nom

Je ne sais jamais
si elle sera ok

vivons-nous
dans une fantaisie

ou le mal est bon
et les bonnes obtenir tous les

la verite est tombee de la nuit
et nous ne prenons pas la chute

qui ou quoi
est cette la douleur

et a quel point
puis-je decider

de donner a cette douleur
un nom

et laisser la joie
commencer

allons-nous gagner
une guerre contre le monde entier

vous pouvez jouer le sauveur

and I'll play the soul...

Christ

how can you be sad

if there is no you

no i

leave the world to
its wile-less wondering

i move

but i do not

i have found you

my silent center

and everything

everyone

all the flood will follow

we don't know

but we think we do

follow me
i know the way

i carry the light of a soul
untouched by anger

unknown to sores on my bare
heels

as i track the desert

i feel you with me

all of you
the ghosts of a world

and i know what 

has to be done

not for me 

for everyone

the universal secret

spoken

11pm 

feel that

gods eyes

follow your devotion,

bring the revolution

i have the willing nation

all your aithers
will wither

under the thumb of 
the unborn

the point of all 

consciousness expands

and we are destroyed 

to be brought together

:)

I like Shakespeare :)

Et tu, Brute?

angel baby

i look

in her eyes

does she know goodbye

how could she possibly understand

what its like to lose a man

you will

someday

your flesh of mine

fated to wreck it all

with time

but for now

allow

your cherubs face
to smile

and show what little grace
a woman of our name

has to bear

there are no flowers 
tucked in curls

here little girl

you reflect your mothers
tears

 its my greatest fear

you understand

that you knew

as you grew inside

the faults that you came into

 and when you ask

were did daddy go

i'll tell the truth

 i don't know



it's my mistake that no one wants us, but its not for all my wanting. To bring a face so smiling as to claim with meaning. This is what i want, you are my life, my family, my children, my wife. Its wrong that with all my questioning a being so known for wondering could ever make it right. Please forgive me all the hard life.  God I'm sorry guys.



 i guess sometimes one just shouldn't write...

Missing

i miss

someone to hold

to tell me it will be ok

and make the world go away

to give me love 

without end

my sweet friend

and a heart

so full of kindness

it bleeds for the world

and just being close

to feel

to hear

to know

the softness of truth

for I

am not a hard creature

I

am not one to be condemned

I should not be judged 

or directed

like water

please flow

deep

so deep

and unaffected by the rocky bottom

we are

only shallow water trips

i am never stagnant

because i am not my mind

or yours

i never can be

nor can you stay trapped

to flow is natural

to hold is divine

to feel is truth.

back

i remember

ties of peace

friends at ease

and now there's only war

disloyal to ourselves

keeping hearts that hide

fear of freedom to confide

serious smiles

so full of sadness

at the missing element

that once made us human

that once made us friends

we can never be in sunlight together again

driven apart by bodies

these souls on a journey

can the child's peace ever

reflect on our faces

will the path ever find us together

while running from choices

only

look
i know the every move

i've seen the contemplation

on a heart

heavy as the

winter snow on mountains

all around the land

of earth and fire

6 feet over

lyin

taking sides

under the false promise
of paradise

surrounded by anger

the source of change

there are no maps

in the mind we tread

but all

every

single

second

the sparks create

manifest a state

of life or desperation

is there a peaceful resolution

between children and toys

man and boys

woman and lies

what are relationships

besides ties that bind

keep us from the light

all we need is to realize

all this time

is only ours

all our problems

only ours

because we can't bare to be alone

with ourselves

i will learn

i am the resolution of me

i am the center of being

and so are you

understand there is no
separation from you and god

from kindness and fraud

i am my heart

open to hurt

left to damage

and blind in courage

not a thing

but a feeling

i and my mind

my organs, my skin

both outside and in

are living to live

and so are yours

i am love

lover and beloved

to me

all the world is my

hopeless hearts obsession

and i will give only joy that
returns from the universe

i feel and release the pain

i am not my reality

but i get lost in it's consciousness.

sweet words

only give titles

to the infinite

i vow to never capture

i vow to liberate

i vow to penetrate

i vow to attain

give life to the dead

and break those chains

with or without

no doubt

anger comes when someone
does it better

so don't compare

or you'll never escape

self induced hell

me 2

all i can do
is sleep
while your gone

my body's withdrawn
and my mind is tired

my heart is abstained

and the rush in my mind
has bowed down

to the voice in yours

fall is here

and soon all memories
of the ruin times

will wash me again

clean of worldly solutions

time

and the void of corruption

i let your misguided words
shape my truth

my absolute

was never you

but why then do i cry
in desperation

for some one to hold me

keep me from this helpless feeling
because i can't believe in

me

Sighs

am i really as severe
as your mouth
says i am

can we take back
all the bad
and all the games

all the self same
excuses

makes all the difference
in a failing case

every smile covers
a final plea

"but stone walls
do not a prison make

nor iron bars a cage"

i am free

in my mind

my soul
you'll never bind

cause you'll never find
me hidden
in the darkness
of a mind
untouched
by you

your lips
your shit

i am tired
of always feeling

something is missing
and i come to find
that little quiet one

is vacant me.
hiding behind hollow eyes

climbing over all the
junk inside.

piled high
there's not enough to
buy that
fills the space

left by my absent soul

but thank you
for my understanding

for my abandon

forgot myself

almost a decade
behind my own existence

thought i was a teardrop
'til i recognized the flood

Love

what is love
the affinity of fields
the reuniting of
a
separate consciousness

if we all reflect the same
waves of feeling from the brain

projected through the
waves of being

should all the world love
destructively

or join together
in a chorus greater
than the dream of god

we are the flood
connected and frustrated
by our possessions possessing

loved is owned when love is known
but hushed it blossoms
never mentioned

the word

where is the end
for me
if there is a happiness
in the word
fulfilled
in the kiss
without words

like the first time
never replayed
cause we're already dead

i wanted
i lost it
your here
but I'm alone

cause you don't want it
anymore

guess i used up all my time
every try just makes it less

every smile
sits undressed

and it's never enough
to just feel good about yourself

i cry
and I'm here
but no one cares

It Is

its no wonder
we live in a world
of lies

no one can face
the truth
when its said

that thing
that we already know
when we are shown

truth
god
blindness

consuming souls
we turn our backs
on what we cant control

we've forgotten how to feel
we don't want to see whats real
because we can't

conditioned to love
what we confine
and damned to
reach for freedom

that can not be attained
as long as we lie
and believe

that it's something
to pursue
and not something
that is

Whatever you think
will make it right
will make it good
will make it anything

will make it lies
and your easy breezy
false face
will want

and will find
emptiness
with out
attainment

we should all
speak truth

there is no
right
there is no
light
there is no
space
theres just a face
an image
that we steal
for a short time

parasitic beings
of energy
possessing
a mind body

until we destroy
this immortal
creature

with our lies
trapped until
we open up to the
pain that comes
when the raw soul
is bare

naked and strewn
before the universe
crying "take me"

for i am perfect
in my imperfections

i am holy
in my mistakes

i was truth
to my world

for always

it’s not about the money
or the company
this life

its not about the friendship
or the fame
this name

you can run
not this time
not again
cause the rain will follow you

Til your done with
running
done with time

divine threads will bind
across space and
lifetimes.

i will find me
when the running ends
floating in stars
rippling dimensions
slipping through my fingers
like sand

the beach
and breasts for pillows
smiles continue
frozen in shutters
of memories

for always
but never the same
cause we have changed
i understand

it was always you
in me

Sea Shells

Just when i thought
i understood

when i broke through
safe to sleep

i’m running again
back on my toes

can’t be too comfortable
its cold here

i made the dark
its name is me

mistaken shapes of
reality

undermine the
purpose

just to be
to see

to hold something
with meaning

once more
my friend

by threads
our lives hang

always together
forever never

drifting so close
to dreaming

waves crash with ebbing
angry words

falling deft before
the roaring reef

there at night
i gather the fragments

altogether i put them away
broken by shame

into an old shoe box
labeled "dreams"

Asking Too Much

opening to the sun
i feel the brightness
fill my face

growing
pulling life
like water from
the ground

ah, the greatest joy
to smile
and feel the sun
return
my gesture

reaching for the
unattainable visage
rooted in the earth
and wishing for stars

imagine the journey
but you'd only burn
trying to embrace
the sun

:)

Sweet

unwinding

myself

you were right

my friend

some time ago

what's a heart

but a whole

it can't be filled

by you

or by who

him or her

lusty blurs

where's that castle on a cloud?

the love that outlives

kiss and tell

my dimebag heart abstains

away

and travels further

everyday

i feel my soul

slipping back to sleep

until you come back

my sweet

The Lines

if every dream I ever had

was trapped within this box

I made inside awareness

where consciousness was made a burden

caught between myself

and someone
