Following the footsteps
Glancing up to see
The reflection within the mirror
To the shadow that was me.
Troubled with my turmoil
Puzzled by my pain
Trying to save my being
But knowing I wasn't the same
But I will never find him
I no longer exist to seek
My words could no longer soothe me
For I had no voice to speak
I was going through the motions
To live was to survive
The end will has me half way
No one can say, I didn't try..
But it's all over now.

Yup.
The Reason doesn't live
The Reason doesn't see
With all regard to living,
The Reason will never be.
The Reason fears nobody
The Reason lives on strong
But the Reason doesn't know
That the Reason's got it all wrong
The Reason lives without
The Reason lives inside
It goes on and on regardless
But the Reason's lost it's pride.
The Reason is a parasite
The Reason feeds on the hollow
But the Reason can only feed
On as much as I let it swallow.

Comment ahoy John Boy.
I've been down this road before
Fighting the tide
And pleaing for more
Abandoning thought
Fleeing the streets
You never know
Just what you're going to meet.
There was a bell of sorts
One on the horizon
Echoing in the distance
The calls of the midday sun
Fleeing the monotony
Of that what is.
Caressing the answer
And killing the biz
Freeing itself
From that what is.

Trespassers will comment, survivors will reply.
A Soldier came home today
A boy
In a box
On a plane
In my TV screen
We'll call him a 'Hero!'
But we won't remember his name
The conservatives will call it famous
And the liberals will call it insane
But he'll always remain so nameless
So where do we put the blame?
Here comes another hit
I watch the room become lit
Now I begin to feel good
Just like I knew I would
I'm frantic, but don't mind to worry
My senses slowly become blurry
By the time the pipe makes another round
I'm completely stuck on the ground
Here it comes, make me forget
Take my brain, let's play roulette
I don't recall how many pills I took
Did I forget, or just not care to look?
So long as it washes the torment away
I'd sit like this each and every day
I begin to gasp and choke
But I gotta have another toke
I can't explain just how light I feel
I'm so happy, it's unreal
Laughing so hard, I begin to cry
I can't believe I got this high
May
From distant lands
I hear their cries
Carried on breezes
Through lace shears
I try to block out the stench
Images of filth and flies
And the sound of children
coming to my ears
Lounging on silk and down
We become grateful
For what little remains unknown
Willing to feign deafness
At every turn
Hunger holds a language
Uniquely of her own.

Got a bud named Will
Pulls in big bills
Sellin' his soul to the streets.
He fights and he wins
Time and time again
But he don't see what got him beat.
His veins are collapsin'
He's dyin' from within
And he's outta connects to meet.
He's afraid of reality
And what it'll do
When it get's it's hands on his world
And his culture too.
He fights the crowds
And he fights the norm
But he's alone in the end,
Never quite been born.

Time is a weapon of Nature
Rushing us,
Compelling us to keep
Its veiled image
We hurry and worry until death

Back and Forth
Neve
He can run
But he cannot hide
He is a captive
Of his own mind.
He pleads for forgiveness
He pleads for emotion
He's alone in his world
Without living devotion.
He tries to be free
He tries to break loose
But there's only one answer
Hanging from his noose.
He doesn't know what to feel
He doesn't know what he sees
He can't tell what is real
Or what he really needs.
He's a stranger in a stable land
One he's ventured before
And yet he's still a captive
At his own door.
He's a burglar, a thief
A jester of sorts
But he can only feel
as much as he snorts.
He's alone and depraved
Holding no ties
But who could miss a dead man
Before he dies?
~~
I don't remember forgetting you
You were always kinda skirting around my view
I guess I took for granted
That you'd always be around
You weren't the kind of person
To fall in and drown.
I really don't know what happens
When our bodies die
I've never quite been able to get it
As hard as I've tried..
It's like a vault in my view
That I can't really see
But I can't help looking around for the key.
We follow the footprints we've been shown
By all the examples we've ever known
And we dance and skirt
Around our world as it draws near
But how quickly it can disappear.
Perhaps somewhere in the time
That we come
And that we go
May live the purpose we

You say 'life is just a Jail
With no way out.
With No one to watch,
or to hear your shout'.
Well I've climbed the walls of delirium
And ridden the waves of despair
And I'm telling you here and now
That there's plenty of reason to care.
Continue to hide the torture within your heart,
Go on, see how well that bodes
Because as soon as that certain day strikes
We both know you're going to explode.
Abandon your body
Its base functionality, too.
Watch it kill everything
That was just poor little You.
How do you live
with a coffin inside?
How do you remove it
Without removing its ride?
It's quite simple, you see,
You turn on a dime
You just keep
When struck upon a stone
It flares into a fiery cone
It leaps and dances and flickers about
Serves its purpose...
And then goes out.

I would appreciate feedback, as I am a dreadful loner.

Hiding behind my veil
Pretending that I don't see
Acting to be tough
"Bitch, you'll never get to me!"
Hiding behind my veil
Hypnotized in my own lies
Disregarding the obvious
Slowly losing my ties
Hiding behind my veil
I act like I don't see
The damage that you're causing
The damage you're causing to me
Hiding behind my veil
My eyes slowly begin to see
The fading image of a dying child
A dying child in me
Hiding behind my veil
I abandon my darkened corner
No longer am I vulnerable
And although you've left a trace
In the end, I've won this fight
You can't do this to me
Now that I see the light.

I was sitting on the bench for a long time. The memories passed by in my head, slowly at first, but as they got more intense, they only continued to speed up. I felt weak and weary but knew I couldn't go back. I wouldn't even I had the choice too...that house was pure evil. I shuddered as the thought of my brother gladly taking up the "Family business" with a smile floated by.
Standing up, I brushed off my pants and grabbed the little tote bag at my side. I could hear a gentle ticking noise coming from a clock shop across the street, and the scurrying of a rat down an alley way to my left. I glanced up at the penetrating darkness of the sk
A long time ago, there was a great and beautiful forest. It was lush with diversity in the animals, and there was plenty of foliage. Many types of trees, berries, grasses, and herbs grew there; it was a paradise to the many inhabitants of the the forest.
This included many cats, young and old, big and small. Despite the felines' large numbers, because there were so many animals and prey, they all lived peacefully. Through time, the cats divided based on skills, and personal preference into four clans. These clans went by the names of Fleckclan, Brookclan, Rockclan, and Waterclan; even divided there was no war and peace continued to
“Oh Fallenangel, your kits are absolutely gorgeous.” Lunastriker purred to her friend. “Thank you Lunastriker, but I’m a bit worried.” Fallenangel admitted.
“What is it?” Redpelt asked his mate calmly. “Well, it’s just that...only one of these kits are going to survive. It’ll be hard for them. Two of them, once they leave the camp, I’ll never see again.” Fallenangel looked down at the three kits suckling at her belly. One was a rusty color, another black, and the third one being the smallest, was a silvery-gray.
Lunastriker looked piteously at her friend, &ldqu
It's 3:04 in the morning. I know this because on the table to my right there is a digital clock with large green numbers. It's light is a little too bright, -especially when you have nothing else to look at, but I haven't gotten around to buy a new clock. It is creating a shade at the end of the bed, and I can see my feet.
I know I'm not thinking clearly, that I am not really awake, but its partly because of the morphine and the other meds. I can't believe I crashed the chair into the kitchen wall when she told me. I really need to get a new wall, too. My thoughts are floating into one another... I can tell now, that the cover has fallen off
Golden Gate Bridge
Twin steel Titans wrestle with twin steel ropes
across a span that leads out to a vast blue world;
I am the last gate guarding that expanse,
the last sign of American home.
I arc in the middle as I lift up my graceful line
to allow floating wood, iron, and steel to sail below
towards land home or outward to journeys unknown
as I sit here as Gate's Guardian for 75 years alone.
My silver brother spans further to the East,
But with four towers, not just two
And on the East Coast the green copper lady bids ships welcome or adieu
as here on San Francisco Bay I do the same too.
Though many days I am enshrouded in fog

Please comment on anything you care to, only here for feedback and self-entertainment. All of what you see is mine, and has held some sort of relevancy to my life at one point in time or another.
People identify their significant others with so many unnecessary titles.. "This is my girl" "She's my babe" "Honey" "Sweetheart" "Darling".. These titles always fall so hollow on my ears, so incredibly unfulfilling. My "sweetheart" can't be defined by such mediocre terminology, because the scope of my life that she encompasess is so much greater than that word can contain. She can't merely be held as "My Sweetheart". She's my closest companion. My compass. My inspiration. My own truths. My end-all, say-all Lover. The incredible drawing Love that I feel for her is simply untouchable, surreal, and completely inconceivable to those who have not
The Moon was shining bright
on that warm summer night
giggling as we held hands
looking beyond these solumn lands
at our own little 'shooting stars'
that were set way beyond the bars
of ourselves.
"We will always be together" was dripping down the street
Holding your arm close so our shoulders would meet
Talking on end for hours and hours
Together, claiming the dawn and making it ours
Sharing our thoughts
and laughing the night away
I never thought I could truley say
That I love you even more today.
