Stranded

I search for meaning in every breath I take.

My eyes peer, glazed and dripping life,
through the chilled September breeze.
My lips yearning to taste it.

What sacrifice must I make?

A slow motion movie constantly in my head.
I live through the imaginary,
and imagine the reality.

Here I am settling.
I've accepted failure,
I just want to fail doing what I love,
loving who I need.

Stranded....



...with my head in my hands.

Escape During Low Tide, Head for Shipping Lanes, Never Think Twice

We sailed safely into the night,
On a raft of misconceptions,
and dead bodies bloated
from salt water and sun.
Pressed forward past the breakers,
drifted with the current,
followed by sharks,
waiting to feast on our remains.
The sun stuck us with blister,
burnt and unrecognizable,
our skin dry like leather,
slipping from our bones.

Modern Living

I have met love,
witty and opinionated,
challenging and defiant,
she is love.

not my love,
not your love.
just love.

she is joy,
small gulps of blue moon,
small slender hands.
she is love.

not my love,
not your love.
just love.

I grasp her hips,
swinging back and forth,
mid morning breeze.
she is love.

never my love,
never your love,
just love.

eyes, deep and piercing,
unselfish, highly motivated,
the smell before it rains.
she is love.

why not my love,
why not your love?
she is just love.

Hollow Earth

Hung myself with that rope called hope,
dangling three inches from the floor,
and the chair's turned over,
making no attempts for support.
Death follows all men,
He just walks a little closer to me,
Forgiveness now a memory,
created for the weak.

i love the new blacklisted album

I am, I am extroardinary

Wake up early, in deaf silence,
the sound of rushing water comforts me,
stand with my hands against cold tile,
hanging my head, feeding the fire of that belief:
I am insignificant,
I am insignificant,
in the mass amount of time that blue dot turns,
I am insignificant.
and on the comfort of moon-lit porches,
howling songs at the moon,
that guitar screeching like tires,
just slightly out of tune,
and it sings:
I am insignificant,
I am insignificant,
unless I make a choice to make a difference,
I am insignificant.
