The moment we had,
the moment's passed
the moments we lost
Stepping in the sand,
The surf on my feet,
Washes the moments away
There's only gray,
I would like some absolutes
are there imprecise truths?
Read between the lines,
See the signs,
Made in the sand,
As it all washes away....

obssessing about nothing and everything
Things I've felt
I wish I could say
As the candles melt
at the end of the day
I sit at my table
Hands stained with ink
Framing a fable
Without as much as a blink
The words flow
one after another
I feel every blow
as I blunder
to keep you close
In my head
But as this goes
You are lead
Away from me
In person and in mind
Who is he?
Why must I go through the grind?
Of failing again
to find one as you
Calming, cooling rain
and one as true
I wish I could say
As the candles melt
at the end of the day
I sit at my table
Hands stained with ink
Framing a fable
Without as much as a blink
The words flow
one after another
I feel every blow
as I blunder
to keep you close
In my head
But as this goes
You are lead
Away from me
In person and in mind
Who is he?
Why must I go through the grind?
Of failing again
to find one as you
Calming, cooling rain
and one as true

Falling
As I stare into the cosmos,
Through the leaves a gentle wind blows,
The pale glow of the moon looks amazing on your face,
As though in agreement the fucking tree sways
My gaze haltingly shifts to the full moon,
and I realize every second here is a boon,
I came to this place feelin' uncertain,
Thinking that making something of myself would be a burden
I find that burden get heavier as time passes,
I don't want to be a face lost in that of the masses,
A little introspection has showed that I'm insecure,
of the fact that I'm alone and falling I am sure
The look in your eyes is a gentle caress,
The joy of which leaves me in a hapless mess,
I'm falling into the abyss of your eyes,
This low is much better than any highs
I think I find solace in this infinity,
At peace as much as at peace I can be,
As I stare into the cosmos,
Through your hair a gentle wind blows.....
(Found this in a book I wrote poetry in about 4 years ago, a lot of it still resonates)

Start out again with a wiped slate
open road stares you in the face,
Despondent traveler wayward led,
In between the lines he read,
Lost yourself in the whens, the wheres, the whys,
Couldn't separate the hows, the whats, the lies,
Friends found and lost forever
Life's passing you by in a blur
Can't distinguish one day from the other,
Lying in the arms of the estranged lover,
You wish it would finally come to pass,
And lying there you could breathe your last....

No expectations
Any hope for company is long gone,
No hand to hold as they prick me wrong,
No hand to pour me water when my throat is dry,
No body to cheer me while bored I lie,
No body comes as day turns to night,
No body calls before first light,
And then I begin to wonder,
Will there be shoulders to bear,
Me on life's last journey,
the answer stares me in the face,
As does the coroner's gurney.

So he lay there waiting,
he started hating,
every moment as it passed,
each one felt like the last,
He peered through the veil,
it all smelled old, stale
like it'd been there a while,
The food on the floor amongst stomach bile
He got up hurting, ginger,
He passed the crowded hall,
He didn't linger,
He didn't have the gall,
to see people,
Not when he was alone,
He felt feeble,
His heart as cold as stone
He dragged along this heart,
and played his part,
In other's lives unabating,
So that no-one else would just lay there waiting
he started hating,
every moment as it passed,
each one felt like the last,
He peered through the veil,
it all smelled old, stale
like it'd been there a while,
The food on the floor amongst stomach bile
He got up hurting, ginger,
He passed the crowded hall,
He didn't linger,
He didn't have the gall,

Not when he was alone,
He felt feeble,
His heart as cold as stone
He dragged along this heart,
and played his part,
In other's lives unabating,
So that no-one else would just lay there waiting
