Maybe if I was there where you were
You would've seen that I could've been the star in a dark sky
There's an ambition in the way light enters a dark room
And a fear of figuring out what went wrong
So the chills that run down your spine are better spent in your room alone
I'm better in the sky
Where I'm warm
Tell me friend , how did I fall from your ceiling broken and white
The one you draw dreams from
I wanted to be part of the clouds
That hang on your ceiling fan
But the story goes and goes again
As the chill runs down your spine
You would rather feel alone in your bed ....

Twin Flames
If I could tell the story I have
Locked up in my safe
Behind the painting over my fireplace
I'd sit you down
Eye to eye - tell you how I felt him
From the inside the moment I layed my eyes on him
I couldn't explain in it in detail
All I could tell you is I knew him
With out ever speaking a word
With out ever saying our first hello
I fell in his soul / sounds crazy I know
But there I stood as time as we knew it
Stood still
I knew in an instant he was mine forever
I just had to have faith
Because faith herself told me / his soul was telling me so
And they begun a conversation from across a room
I could barely sit still I didn't even know your name I knew I loved you / more than I ever loved before -
That's the feeling I had the day I met him

Mad (1)
Alice seems fitting
As she feels misplaced
Amoungst the daisies and the fences
She looks at the window panes
Seems nothing is left
Alice tell me the story
About how mad this love is
That far beyond time
It still exist
There could be an answer
He's looking through my window
I saw him yesterday
Sitting down below
I beg him in
Without speaking
Tell the devil
I'm here , and his lines
Run under my fingertips
So Alice
I wait at the door
The moon is hanging
By half nails and consequence
Tell me about this love
The kind you find under petals
Like the lost rain that lingers in
The morning
And I will tell you
I remember the leaving
And the very first day I met you
As she feels misplaced
Amoungst the daisies and the fences
She looks at the window panes
Seems nothing is left
Alice tell me the story
About how mad this love is
That far beyond time
It still exist
There could be an answer
He's looking through my window
I saw him yesterday
Sitting down below
I beg him in
Without speaking
Tell the devil
I'm here , and his lines
Run under my fingertips
So Alice
I wait at the door
The moon is hanging
By half nails and consequence
Tell me about this love
The kind you find under petals
Like the lost rain that lingers in
The morning
And I will tell you
I remember the leaving
And the very first day I met you

Still
I saw you there in the snow
It's been half past 12
For a while , and it's cold
Do you know how the blizzard
Feels
I heard this song about a dirt road
Saw a stranger in my dreams
You knew the Braille on the wall
You carry a copy in your wallet
I sit outside
I waited .
You left it on the ground
Didn't you
The key to every note
To the piano
You begged me to play
Now sits at this funeral today
It was .
As the numbers fall
Bear no meaning
No rest
Contemplated death
I see you in the snow
But did you know
What my blizzard was like
As I sit missing hands
Missing piano And key
The cross road came
I took the path that left you behind
You sit
In winter
Lost
It's been half past 12
For a while , and it's cold
Do you know how the blizzard
Feels
I heard this song about a dirt road
Saw a stranger in my dreams
You knew the Braille on the wall
You carry a copy in your wallet
I sit outside
I waited .
You left it on the ground
Didn't you
The key to every note
To the piano
You begged me to play
Now sits at this funeral today
It was .
As the numbers fall
Bear no meaning
No rest
Contemplated death
I see you in the snow
But did you know
What my blizzard was like
As I sit missing hands
Missing piano And key
The cross road came
I took the path that left you behind
You sit
In winter
Lost

Hurricanes
I wait between grey pages nothing's the same
No ones really here , I'm alone in the eye of the winds
No one reaching back for her hand
I run across oceans searching
No hope no faith no glory
Dress torn ripped
Sword fallen
You ask , have you given up yet ?
My eyes are black
My chest empty
No heart left beating ......
I rise above the storm
But will you rise with me
As the waves are as high as the eye can see
I stand here alone
The answer is bleak , hollow , void
Black smudges this paper grey
As I write
Not this storm
Will take her away
No ones really here , I'm alone in the eye of the winds
No one reaching back for her hand
I run across oceans searching
No hope no faith no glory
Dress torn ripped
Sword fallen
You ask , have you given up yet ?
My eyes are black
My chest empty
No heart left beating ......
I rise above the storm
But will you rise with me
As the waves are as high as the eye can see
I stand here alone
The answer is bleak , hollow , void
Black smudges this paper grey
As I write
Not this storm
Will take her away
What's Real
I'm listening to the song vengance . I feel like I have something important to share I hope I do not lose my train of thought . I hope I don't lose you in it .
We are made up of energy , an electrical current just like an outlet if you will and the plug . Once two people are connected there is an energy coursing through . You can't stop it . It's something you feel all the time . You need two parts for it to be whole . People wonder about their twin flame or soul mate I will tell you , anyone who is not flowing with your energy is not your twin or soul mate , there in it for some other reason . It's so simple . There's no questions . It just happens . They don't want it to stop . I see so many articles , how to get him to love me ? How to get him to call ? If your reading those then move on !! Energy is real . It's another persons music only you can hear .
Also if your chasing emotion your probably dealing with an emotionally unavailable person
Just move on . Never chase after an emotion .
It's not about dating or friendship - trust me -

Romantic poetry
Polaroid tells dark secret
Left on a corner of parchment on some napkin you drew my name on with yours circled in hearts
Long and lost forgotten
Left with stains of old lips and coffee from rainy days
Found on a floor -
You fell in love that night
Where were you that night
I'm a lost dream held by faith
I'm a ship wagering a mighty sea
Crumbling your paper between wrinkled fingers
This is where I begin again
My lips are heavy
Scars hidden under picture frames tired and bound by your song
As you sit in the diner
Still
Writing us on useless pieces of paper
Left on a corner of parchment on some napkin you drew my name on with yours circled in hearts
Long and lost forgotten
Left with stains of old lips and coffee from rainy days
Found on a floor -
You fell in love that night
Where were you that night
I'm a lost dream held by faith
I'm a ship wagering a mighty sea
Crumbling your paper between wrinkled fingers
This is where I begin again
My lips are heavy
Scars hidden under picture frames tired and bound by your song
As you sit in the diner
Still
Writing us on useless pieces of paper

Desolate
Paragraphs left un read
Fingers left naked and bruised
There's a story you read to me at bed time
Where the wind met the sun
Wasn't a cloud in sight
The fingers stitching sails
Peddling memory
And hearts -
Faith was the master
The captain
The rogue tore us apart
I set my sail now alone
With no answer
Black seas
I watch for the light
Forgiving through the darkness
Sending messages in a bottle
Teaching me to come home
I've hit every storm
I'm screaming
Lost in some open window
Do you see me
Do you hear me
In the song
Only I can hear
Playing out in the darkness
Paragraphs left un read
Alone here in this bed
Tell me how the story ends
Fingers left naked and bruised
There's a story you read to me at bed time
Where the wind met the sun
Wasn't a cloud in sight
The fingers stitching sails
Peddling memory
And hearts -
Faith was the master
The captain
The rogue tore us apart
I set my sail now alone
With no answer
Black seas
I watch for the light
Forgiving through the darkness
Sending messages in a bottle
Teaching me to come home
I've hit every storm
I'm screaming
Lost in some open window
Do you see me
Do you hear me
In the song
Only I can hear
Playing out in the darkness
Paragraphs left un read
Alone here in this bed
Tell me how the story ends

Camouflage
light reflects oil canvas
She kisses the dead of winter
There seems tou be a keeper
Holding words in the palms of hands
As fingers break and houses thirst to be castles
Tell me , how do I find the secrets
Locked behind safes - on your wall .
I dress up in the dead of power
Finding only the coward
Losing his key in the blizzard
I run home -
Tiny boats sail across picture frames
No ones home tonight
She's invisible
I make every conversation into letters
As they disengage
I paint
She kisses the dead of winter
There seems tou be a keeper
Holding words in the palms of hands
As fingers break and houses thirst to be castles
Tell me , how do I find the secrets
Locked behind safes - on your wall .
I dress up in the dead of power
Finding only the coward
Losing his key in the blizzard
I run home -
Tiny boats sail across picture frames
No ones home tonight
She's invisible
I make every conversation into letters
As they disengage
I paint

Dear Alice (1)
Alice isn't breathing
She's lost in a sleep
Down the path she goes
Every road fluttering eye lashes
She runs.
Alice is in a coma
She can't forget
Her heart beats out of her chest
Like a drum
He is lost amougst the roses
She says
As she lies there dead .
Some say it's a tragedy
Losing everything all at once
I thought he heard me
She said
She lays there
Her hero lost in a grave of unforgotten
The cemetery holds one
Alice can't move
Does he move with out Alice
Maybe the forgotten grave is the bed she lies in
She's lost in a sleep
Down the path she goes
Every road fluttering eye lashes
She runs.
Alice is in a coma
She can't forget
Her heart beats out of her chest
Like a drum
He is lost amougst the roses
She says
As she lies there dead .
Some say it's a tragedy
Losing everything all at once
I thought he heard me
She said
She lays there
Her hero lost in a grave of unforgotten
The cemetery holds one
Alice can't move
Does he move with out Alice
Maybe the forgotten grave is the bed she lies in

Resurface
See past white linen sheet
Bare past sunlight
Drowning under water
I left the message their
In that bottle
Did you see it ?
I pause the dice black table
I fall in the lake
It's night and I'm cold
I'm lost
Under blankets bare alone
Did you hear me
Under water
It was so dark
I can't see you
Can't feel you
When I touch
You touch me
Bare past sunlight
Drowning under water
I left the message their
In that bottle
Did you see it ?
I pause the dice black table
I fall in the lake
It's night and I'm cold
I'm lost
Under blankets bare alone
Did you hear me
Under water
It was so dark
I can't see you
Can't feel you
When I touch
You touch me

Blue scatters like empty and lost footprints
Running down my buttons , turning my round eyes
Black , desperate in their attempt to find you -
Bring you home even if it's just tonight ,
There is a word for letting go
Like a hand torn away in the crowd
Like the child who lost his mother
The sky can't shine
With out the stars
Stars can't shine with out the sun .
a universe taken away
you are the stars
You are the sun
You are , you are .......
Blue scatters like marbles on the bath tub floor
I cry alone as the water falls .....
I sink slowly
Memories just a telegraph away
Saved .

Cold War
I almost died once , the only thing I needed to know was if you loved me . For me taking my last breath my heart wrenching in pain as I laid in the ER , my son crying next to me . Do you ever wonder what those people think ? At this moment I knew . What I always knew . We were like the movie big fish . One of my favorite movies . I wrote you that night in case I didn't wake up in the morning . I got no reply . This was last year today . Something that will always pain me . Twin flame I believe you are . Do you know what that is ? I try to let go but the deepest part of me holds on . Could you answer the question if you ever read this ? What does a soul do split in half I've never known what love can do until I felt the pain of your absence . Until I knew your presence . Your the king in this world full of fakes and pretenders . And no one loves me like you did .

Here We Go
It's 12 am . You think by now this would become a walk in the park , some. Tragic error I'm used to the same old drill over and over . But as I watch my heart monitor once again go from 74 to 110 I know what's coming . Epilepsy sucks . I take my heart medicine it's not working . And im stuck wondering will I end up in the hospital tonight ? I don't want sympathy , it wouldn't even do epilepsy any good . Your alone in it . When it happens a fear strikes you , that can't be controlled . Will I die tonight ? Is all I will imagine . No one knows what it's like to feel that way unless you've almost died,that's the only way I can explain what a seizure is like . No cure . I only have mine at night . My days I try to fill with joy because my nights are full of terror . Maybe I'll get some sleep . Maybe I should blog more about epilepsy . So more people become aware .

love
Slip my fingers past my agony
There's white cotton caution tape
And I'm breathing you in my dreams .......
Grab my neck
Soldiers are marching in the desert
The devil dances on my shoulder
I walk the streets with the stars
I leave you here
I leave you there ......
I'm all grown up
My lip sticks red
Follow all the rules
Forget about love they said .....
Meet the pretty rich boys at midnight
Let them use you up and spit you out instead .....
Kneeling on the ground
Soldiers fighting at half past 1
Faith calls your name
Life hurts you said
But we chose who hurts us
And my decision was made
Alone in my bed
He's all grown up
Love is in a box
Red lip stick on
There's white cotton caution tape
And I'm breathing you in my dreams .......
Grab my neck
Soldiers are marching in the desert
The devil dances on my shoulder
I walk the streets with the stars
I leave you here
I leave you there ......
I'm all grown up
My lip sticks red
Follow all the rules
Forget about love they said .....
Meet the pretty rich boys at midnight
Let them use you up and spit you out instead .....
Kneeling on the ground
Soldiers fighting at half past 1
Faith calls your name
Life hurts you said
But we chose who hurts us
And my decision was made
Alone in my bed
He's all grown up
Love is in a box
Red lip stick on

Midway (1)
It's deafening here
I hear your message clear
Static builds in lines empty
I color in old books of hearts and initials
Crumbled and lost beneath a bed
So I manage to take the train
Another way
Another day
I walk boldly away
But I'm lying if I didn't say
My heart at the station is where it stays
A friend once told me
You can't quiet mad love
So instead it's scattered in ryhmns
In letters
I can go
You say please let go
It's like breaking gold .
So here I go
I hear your message clear
Static builds in lines empty
I color in old books of hearts and initials
Crumbled and lost beneath a bed
So I manage to take the train
Another way
Another day
I walk boldly away
But I'm lying if I didn't say
My heart at the station is where it stays
A friend once told me
You can't quiet mad love
So instead it's scattered in ryhmns
In letters
I can go
You say please let go
It's like breaking gold .
So here I go

Twin Flame Love
Twin flame love exist. If you do not know what it is or understand it you may not have found it yet. Twin flame love is spiritual. It's not on a physical level. It is rare, you will feel like you know everything about them when you meet them, you will know when you see them, you will hear them when they are not there. Look up twin flame meeting, I have met mine have you ?

Waiting Between
The farther I go
The closer i come back to you
Like a broken compass
It's arrow always pointing
Always suggesting
But never doubting .
I find myself searching
Lost sometimes .
Never when I come to terms with
The arrow .
I've never been so sure about anything in my life
And every time I turn my back to say good bye
Something tells me , no this way .
How can I be so wrong ?
I feel you in my soul .
Am I wrong ?
I watch the compass now alone
Wondering if you watch it too

Night
Soldier grieves the war
Black rose lined the left side of her finger
Thorns absent - heart oxegyn.
Spilled into your lungs like paint
Hung in your living room mantel
I'm haunted by perfect love
Skeleton key - subsides under
Paint brush
I breathe .
Grieving soldier
I can fight alone
She can fight with out you here
The death of me , is life with out you
Marching on
Piano screaming in the dark
Forgotten .
Like the winter .

Purge
It was leather and the fog followed her
Buckled under the loss even now
The coroner asked her
Every decision is calculated
Even in decision
There's a message in your pocket
Still
She held on to it all these years
Clutched on cold table
Withered , the man was curious
I searched the clock
It was empty , no numbers , no faces
I couldn't remember how the day went
How I got here
I put my hand on my chest
I asked for the answer
Clutching old paper
Everything's a message
The paper was blank
The coroner read it loud
The table was cold
Ravens black .
Buckled under the loss even now

Paper Mache
I'm not sure how the sky grew so dark
How the stars lost there light
Or how the music became so silent
I just know that roads are always connected
Even when they seem so divided
Maybe you read these letters addressed to you
That sit in my mail box empty
Read by my wire rimmed lense
Crafted by paper clipped heart instead
I keep in this locket perfect with your vintage
Letters I keep warm with whisky trying to forget
The way I can't stop
Loving
You
How the stars lost there light
Or how the music became so silent
I just know that roads are always connected
Even when they seem so divided
Maybe you read these letters addressed to you
That sit in my mail box empty
Read by my wire rimmed lense
Crafted by paper clipped heart instead
I keep in this locket perfect with your vintage
Letters I keep warm with whisky trying to forget
The way I can't stop
Loving
You

monopoly
The metal coats hang
With frozen smiles
Empty pictures - I stand here
Wait for your imperfect hand shake
Did you notice me in the corner of the room
There's a disguise
I didn't win the race tonight
Stupid girl in red ribbons
Should've known better ,
Never was that girl - sitting in time out
Had a voice
In an empty room
I fought for you to remember
My name
Should've come naturally
Funny I have this audience
All of them here
except you
She was extrodanary
She was never meant for the corner
Come in
Come in
With frozen smiles
Empty pictures - I stand here
Wait for your imperfect hand shake
Did you notice me in the corner of the room
There's a disguise
I didn't win the race tonight
Stupid girl in red ribbons
Should've known better ,
Never was that girl - sitting in time out
Had a voice
In an empty room
I fought for you to remember
My name
Should've come naturally
Funny I have this audience
All of them here
except you
She was extrodanary
She was never meant for the corner
Come in
Come in

Love Letters (1)
Delicate glass finds its self under the feet
Of my eyes , I can't see my reflection
With out you in the horizon .
I can't write words with out my hero as the subject or look to the sky with out the star -
And I drive watching the moon
Wondering if your ever looking back at me
As the drive feels more and more alone
It really doesn't matter if I say good bye
Your written in every line of my life
Under shattered leaves of fall
The loss and win to lyrics of these songs
The only problem is
I can't bring you home .
Why can't my love be enough
I'm just a silly girl
White cotton panties
Warm sun
My heart beats big for you
Not the biggest band aid could do
I just always knew

Orchestra
Moments sit on finger tips
Dancing on ideas that seem to fade
In and out like you
The frequency resonates
The band plays -
I fall asleep to the tune
I write my own story
I'm my own orchestrator
I fall into your sea
Lost and forgotten
The Stars won't leave me
The band plays louder
Then fades into the distance
What can I do
What can I do now
These moments sit on my fingertips
Alone
Waiting for home

Dungeon (1)
Here I am at the door
No ones there
I'm scattered left remaining
Tasseled hair
Maybe it's meant to be
Left alone
Hand grasping air
Butterfly bandaid
Hiding yesterday
No one looking back at her
There's a time and a place
But the clock never seems to be pointing
In her direction
What does it take
To start over
Do you see me
Like holes
In black sky's
Feel me breathe in you tonight
Here I am at the door
No ones there
I'm scattered left remaining

Crowns
Take me home to my heart .
Sifted through ashes
Conquering the wars
Slaughtered lambs there's something to say for the living
Something to remember for the lost
I have a voice
Lost under glass
Concrete walls
Free me from this
I'm the wolf
Pacing at the door
Covered in the lambs tragedy
So here you have the storm
I have everything there is to be told
I'm not an underestimation
I'm the lullabie
To unanswered prayers
So listen close
There's something to be said for the living
I been sifted through the ashes
Found wanting
Made into new beginnings
Take heart I say
As the clouds gather
We will not fall
I promise you
We will not fall

Consolation
If I sent you one last letter
I would tell you I'm letting you go
Your the ace missing from my deck
The best whisky on the shelf
But I can't hold on to love
That doesn't love me back
And I can tell you
It would be worth waiting forever
As you live in these over due pages
With no return answers

Shadows (1)
Alice commits suicide
Can't shake the shadow
She runs one way
Hearts another
Kings sit pretty with crowns
They watch her fall
It only matters if she's on her knees
As she band aids the loss of being incomplete
There's an ace missing from my deck
There's a storm over head
Nothing can stop her
From un becoming what they want her to be
She looks past the shadow
Like Peter Pan
A fairy tale can't save her
I sit here between words and periods
In this world alone
Lost
Says , Alice
Searching through every window

Sea
It's this place
He says .
Take my hand
She says .
Across the wall
Built against oceans
I make this boat
Patch work left wounded
Stitches and sails unfolded
It's dark here
The storm comes from her eyes
She becomes a light house
He said I see you
She said
Come .
Lights faltering
In and out through the haze
I can be your sun rise
But as I sit the sun only sets
Thursday, August 11, 2016
Compiled
A letter where words break apart
The last letter I will
Write
About how it changed my life
Something I have to let go
And can't say good bye
If I sailed the world to find the darkest ocean
It could never hear the torture
Of losing what could never be
Found again
I listen in the darkness
Nothing
How do I say goodbye
In this letter I write
But I can't keep fighting either
I'm a ghost
Your the sailor
I see the pictures
And I'm not your home
I can't forget
I can't remember
Can't say good bye
Can't say hello either
So here's your stamp
I'm home
I'm not your home
Writing to say
I can't let go
But I have to say good bye
Tuesday, August 9, 2016
Midnight
I'm standing in the rain
I'm not the midnight train
Waiting at the station
Coming and going
Coming
And
Going
Do you see me here
Wait with me
Traveling alone
Never asking me where I'm going
My suit case full
Am I not the beauty
As you cast your stone
My heart beating on broken tracks
Dead
And gone
A leather cliche
I'm more than fascinated
But you can't read this can you
Or your suitcase would be ready
I'm more than this
I'm a kiss
Hello
Not just good bye

The Fall
I feel the leaves of you
Wrestling under my skin
It's always fall , in this place
I sit in the warmth
Watch trees changing shape
I can't walk to winter
Leaving you behind
I hesitate in every moment
Trying to find
A smile in the silence
Bringing you here
I'm stepping on keys
Black and white
Can you still hear
The scream of breaking me open
The smell of home on your fingers
I lie here now
Leaves blowing in the wind
Midnight of winter moving in
I stay here quiet and alone
Hoping you will meet me here

Kalidescope Letter
I see you from the corner of my eye
I'm displaced in this shadow
I'm choking on reason
Living on memory
Tell me
Marry me
Marry me
As broken fingers get ready for the fall
Tell me
Stay with me
Stay with me
I don't regret this at all
I can fight in these songs
My insides
Where you live
You are my blood
Coursing through this heart
There is nothing
To bring you back
I stand here in the rain
Singing you songs
It's cold
I miss your warm
It's the death of me
And I'm ok
Tell me
Speak to me
Speak to me
I hear you from a thousand miles
I write in the sand
Falling from hour glass
Every moment alone
There not you
Thank you
Broken fingers holding on
Tell me
You loved me
You loved me
I'm in the rain
No regret

Gypsy
There was a moment
Swallowed in blankets
Fighting an ocean of tears
Listening to your words
Slowly drowning me
It was that night
I fell apart
When I needed you to be the one to fall
Hand me a cigar
I'll quietly miss you
As I drive alone in my car
If I could push rewind
Could I change that night
Maybe you just needed convincing
I'm not hard to love
Left with candles and stale cake
What do I do with this
I knew you were mine from beginning to end
I'm no beggar
When I write these letters
I wanted you to stay
Because you wanted too
But I never fall
But I did that night
As you slammed the door
Now I'm left
Full of reminders
Of what I'm looking for

Panic.
Can you be the shelter
In my storms -
Calmly sitting patiently
I ask you
Does the crow keep you warm
Night shifts into a melody
You hummm secretly
And I begin to fade into the darkness
How do I keep your light
She wondered

Jupiter
Clean my eyes
Dilated
Coveting the picture frame
Empty glass
Burning in my fingers
Bruising my neck
I lost sleep
A vacuum of what I used to be
Confined in this place
I feel you waking
Lost and sleeping
Invisible i am
Stitched in time
Metal lense blinds you
I am black leather handcuffs
Batting eye lash in temporary libraries
Filed and put away
Feel me in the morning
Under blankets wet
Picture frames broken
You wouldn't ever know
She's a mess

Blue Prints (1)
Frames sit steady on the shore
Empty spaces fill today
Architect hands placed firmly
Around
Your eyes
Reaching deep inside
Held with so many regrets
Pacing fast
With one last breath
Catch me if you can
House sits
Empty
Blue print hands
I have the paper
I have the pen
Let me burn old pages
Bonnie and Clyde she said

Telegraphs
Come tell me how it goes
The way stories never seem to end
The way we write them in our heads
They told me something different
As a little girl
I wore a white dress
Did what I was told
There's a hundred monsters
I'm left lacking
A hundred broken
Am I breaking
Or are you out spoken
A cowards tale is un forgiven
Like the monsters
Hiding under my bed
Below all the victories
I stand with pride
So tell me why
I'm braver than the hero who saved me
I sit here asking why
Wondering what you ask yourself
At night

Axis
The record shatters against
All I have faith in
I don't believe she lies
I toss medal jacks like marbles
There's clouds dressing the sky
Like an open wound
Counting time
What can I do .
I'll run
To re write but never be undone
Like needle and the thread
I won . In the moment
I found my army
When you held me
The day I was a warrior
Even when I transpired your ghost
As I let go
Faith prays
For you to find me
Counting clouds one by one
Thursday, June 30, 2016
Delicate
I was born the day you recognized me
I woke in the glory
Of the day
When letters opened , finally read
The sigh of relief finally met
If I could say it any better
Standing in arms
From across the room
From across the world
It's where the cloud met the sky
Never knew how things felt when they became right
Like how that line went in the movie
The last one in this song
Tell me -
As you walk in the woods alone
Am I there folded and hiding there
Somewhere in the crease of your
Smile
Lost
In the letters finally read the day
That day
I hear the music still in every quiet room
I feel your heart beating left in the quiet
Of my ear
I'm asking you
To come home
Because when your across the room
Across the world
Your near me

Film
There's a listen in your ear
And an arrow in your blood
I gut the belly of your compass
I search hard
I breathe every step
I turn away and find
You
Tell me as my movie reels
Into focus new memory
Keeps rewinding your iris so clearly
A vision I see perfectly
Gleaming into my intention
Like brandy
Drunk on your love
I can't forget you
I can't erase you
Like your last letter
Typed so perfect
I climb every ladder
That will take me farther
But it just leads me closer
How tell me
How do you separate
One
To
Two
I am not a hopeless romantic
I am not a writer
I am not a martyr
I am just here
Trying not to remember
The hero
Who saved me
So tell me
How do you walk now
With my arrow
Coursing through your perfect heart
As a reminder
That I'm here waiting
Trying to save myself

Journey
Condolences sent to you
To the faces that have turned there backs
I walk the miles plenty
For David fought Goliath
And won
I walk with my head high
The rest left in picture frames black
And white
If you don't believe me
It's not my job to do all the convincing
My job isn't to empower the weak
Moths love the light
But yet darkness can't live in a lit room
So please there is no offense
In your walking away
From me -
My audience is the strength
Of kings
The hall ways haunt me of lost love
Waiting to come back
Like Braille and lanterns
Walking fingers and half hearts
Wishing memories home
And for those that we walk hand in hand
They are my home

Stations (1)
Grazing fingers on pages
Ends of letters that walk along
Memories following like shadows
And your remains like ashes
Pushed into lockets
Half for you
Half for me
I can write a chorus
About how I hear you whispering still
Some where in the city lights
It makes for perfect conversation
When I'm alone in my bed
What happens when the chorus ends
They say love last a life time
I tried to catch you before the coming train
I caught your eye as you drifted away
Pages become history books
Words become love letters
And train stations become home

U turns
Exit door lights up
Seems like it's revolving
I'm sitting at the other end wondering
How explanations turn into thoughts
Into written words
Into blank messages
Faith has me here
In every window
Every song
Losing you best is trying
To find you again
Letting go
Holding on
All over again
Wednesday, May 25, 2016
Crayons (1)
I wrote you a letter today
Like a coloring book
Inside and outside the lines I drew
I crushed the paper a hundred times
I couldn't quite get the message through
I knew in your silence
What you were going through
The crayons are laying on the floor
Music streams at midnight
Not sure where the time went
But I knew
I'm left here crumbling paper
Can't say I'm surprised
Tried to catch you before midnight
Before you hid your final good bye
Under the mat where keys go that wer'e meant to find .
You know what I mean don't you ?
You knew I had it figured from the beginning
Should've stayed
I'm the finish line you see
Now I'm here left with paper
Crumbling
With endings and new beginnings

38
I write best when I'm not thinking
Heart guides me best as I'm driving
Whatever she tells me is the truth
It's always the truth between you and me
My voice is all I have
You will only know me if your listening
I love deeply but love rarely
Love never comes easy
Success only comes when you believe in yourself
Believing is integrity
I have a handful of friends but boy
Do they mean everything
And to them I'm everything
They hear me .
I'm 38 tomorrow
This past year I've learned to listen to people from the inside
Things are not black and white
We live once take nothing for granted
Let no one take you for granted
And never let go of love .
Because true love comes back .
And most of all make everything count and never do anything you may regret
Cheers to another year

Light Houses
Phones type out blank messages
Neon lights fade into a sunset
As I drive tonight
Shadows pasted perfect to the music
Never fading never staying
The rocks seem more like empty waves
I can't stand on a grave
Sail the seas I say
Anchors remind me of the light
Broken on the hill -
Searching for calm
Finding only the storm
I never wanted to be the hero
Just didn't want to get lost amongst the waves
The distance is fading faster
As I read the news paper
Bets are in
All or nothing he said
As I sail alone
With ghost from home
Friday, May 13, 2016
Paintings
Contemplate finger prints
Left on coffee tables
I watch the crows spread there wings
Leaving a winter behind
I am the sunshine
If you rinse the Braille I left on your heart
Then friendships aren't made to last
There's a foggy rainbow
Telling you , your stories
Sitting here alone
With your brush strokes
I can't remember what you said
I'm just left with a picture
Don't let it burn in my hands
Contemplating finger prints
Left on glass tables
Afraid of the coming
Afraid of the going
I am the sun shine
Left with this picture
Left in your hands
Thursday, May 12, 2016
Spells
Cast a shadow in the well
Change falls from this pocket
Wishes fall on empty stars
Funerals line broken dreams
With the courage to take a hand
Sitting still - I'm gonna stand
I hear you in the distance
Voices lost on old pages
Half written ,holding on to every letter
That was never addressed .
Lockets separate,
Golden clasp
I see you in the window
Calling my name
I can't reach you there
You can't reach me
Sunday, May 8, 2016
Black
Leather panties crawl on the floor
The devil smiles
Red harmony typed out
Calculated hunt ,
Guns drawn at the silver gate
Betting is it heaven or hell
Whisper my name
As I scream
Love dies in black rose lenses
Reborn at midnight
When we have fallen
Take place
At the starting line
Return to my bed
Can't imagine you out of my head
Gun re loaded
Tell me again
I'm what you always needed
Like a cigarette
Like a needle dripping heroine
Thursday, May 5, 2016
Carbon
I drive through empty tunnels
Wind passes through broken spaces
A hundred hands grab my fingers
I turn the music up
Sing the last song I can remember
The review mirror stays the same
Funny the way things change
Funny the way they stay the same
A hundred hands slipping through
None holding me
The miles begin to look the same
On this drive tonight
If the Braille was written on your wall
Could you read it
And I pass through a crowded room
Looking for you
Do you see me
Fingers touching
Wednesday, May 4, 2016
Moving
Telegraphs written gone unread
A Lonley love song lost in smoke
A conversation between two now one
Tell me how does the story end
You said you figured it best
I figured I'd wait a little longer
Little girls always have dreams of castles
And you were the hero
If I say good bye today
If I put a stamp on this letter
Would I fold your cape and put it away for later
I sit now in our sunset
Folding envelope
Tired of all the nights alone
Maybe love never dies
But I can't fight alone .
So I walk down the path
The numbers on the house they fall
One by one
Eyes black - tears fall
But you figured it best
As I drop this letter in the mail
I'm guessing
There will be
No answer
Monday, May 2, 2016
Sure Things
I can't do it
I draw words out
Like spilled paint
That never dries
It is you standing there at the edge of every breath I take
I fight every moment
But you are there -
Knocking on every door -
I look to the sky
On every night drive
The Stars guide me home
Tell me not to forget in faith tonight
I feel you at home inside my eyes
Sitting looking out
I know you want what's best for me
But you were what made me best
You see
Concrete Footprints
Spine falls flat into open wounds
I call out into the darkness
Nothing speaking back to me
Converse untied
Cold winds and a lost regret
I can't think of anything else
I saw you last night
In a dream
I saw you in the song I heard on the radio
Life is fleeting into faded heart beats
Riding this dream alone
You tell me to let you go

What's The Wall
Fall from heaven
Ashes turn to wings
Bridges burning in back grounds
Just to realize pictures never meant a thing
One brush with the best intentions
Left me breathing
As the door closes
I open the window
Climbing head first into the sunrise
From the best night of my life
I can't apologize he said
I raise my hands
I wake up to another tomorrow
Tell me the secret as I fly
Will you fall with me
As ashes turn to wings
One more memory painted in graffiti
Burning buildings
The news comes
Love is like a bag of marbles
Falling fast
Tell me
If you close the door
I'll open the windows
Climbing
Head first to the sun rise
Monday, April 25, 2016
Circles
I collect your pictures
As they fall to the floor
Like black eyes drawn to sky
Wondering about the last night
There's a huge answer
With question
How do I go on -
There's a building
Tearing it down
There's a light
In the tunnel I chase you in
Shadows left behind
Sit with me in the moment
Meet me here in the memory
When everything was perfect
No care -
Now there's no answer
Tell me how
With the whisper of good byes
Left on parchment paper
Hoping this pen will run out
But love it never dies
It lives on
Ever searching for your light
Finding shadows instead

Possibility
Impossibility the moon whispers
For even the star can't live away from
Her sun
Impossible the way
She runs .
I press up against a glass wall
If I could scream aloud
Fogg up your sky
Re trace your memory
Back
To my kiss
I would try harder not to ever lose you -
Bubble gum kiss on your lips
How does it
Impossibility
A boat float
With out her ocean
And I guess she just will
Friday, April 22, 2016
Post War
Collect the stars in rusted necklace
That's alright
Carry you around my neck
That's alright
Dust the memory off broken dreams
That's alright
Find you in the eyes of songs
That's alright
Wait for you to come home
That's alright
Try to forget you
That's alright
Remembering you
That's alright too

Lions
Years erode into paths
A wrinkled soul hides well to beautiful smile
Shake my hand years of scars
Hidden wisdom
Leaning on bookshelves in the dark
Travel in silence
Hear the crowds
Love absent
Full of faith
Miles part
The only difference now
Is the ones who chose to hold my hands
Follow through or fall away -
There for the memory
To take my breath away
Lean on my library
Open my page
Courage and faith
Thursday, April 14, 2016
Questionable
Stained memory
Filtered high , breathing you in
Holding it in tight
Black widow flight
Dangling for the devil
Grinning from my chin
Tell me why your hell feels like heaven
I have this glass of whiskey
You say I'm not fine wine
Your right -
I'll tell you darling
If you come closer
You will find
I'm the poison in your veins
Runs long past tonight
A heroin you can't fight
So I whisper in your ear
When your alone at night
Tornequete

Resolve
There's the great unknown
I hold the finish line
The race we run unjust I know
Tell me what it takes to bring you home
Miles of broken road
Bending dreams conform
And I am ready to give up
To give in
I look in the window
See your reflection
I tell myself one more day
I tell myself no more
Then I'm reminded
Your my guardian angel
And I know this road you travel
I don't know the words to write
To bring you back
But I tell myself to give up
As I sit in the window and stare
Just one more day
One more day
She says

Home
Pray for tomorrow but for today , all I want is to be home . Stand in the mirror you look the same just looking for shelter cold and the pain someone to cover safe from the rain , all I want is to be home .
- foo fighters
Fear of my heart absence of faith .
Empty glass
Eyes full of grace
I can't change tonight
But I can promise you will be safe
There's an open road
Bent miles of pain
Stolen from the wreckage
I know loss I know gains
Let me fill your glass
I'll be your whisky tonight
Best intention you've had all your life
Wednesday, April 6, 2016
Rabbit Holes
Lipstick stained pillows
Hold steady conversations
Between broken walls and rusted hearts
No resolution
Searching dark iris
In comfortable position
I get lost in you
But only for a moment
If I stay to long
I fear I won't escape the beauty
And the beast of you
So I'll sleep in your shadow tonight
And rest in your tomorrow
Lipstick smeared kiss
Cotton panties
Spilled on the floor
Hand cuff caress
Begging
For another
Night
To rest
In you

Chaos
Can ghost's be Heros
Up piano keys her thoughts run
Like his eyes did inside her
She holds on now to the edges
Where he left her
As he watches
Will he save her
In time
Tuesday, March 29, 2016
The Way Home
Show me the way back
Where broken windows
Become stained glasses
Where shot glass whiskey memories
Become the future
And a kiss good bye
Becomes hello again

Against The Light
With the last sail lifted high I'm ready now - yellow card
The hand rest alone
Heart paces in a cage
There's a wolf at the door
He paces -
I roll the dice
And contemplate
Envite him in
He can't stay
I can't breathe
I'm the wolf too
I'm lost
In losing you
With one hand
Heart paces
Missing
In its cage
The violins play
Nothing
Nothing's the same with out you
Wednesday, March 23, 2016
Rogue
I can't feel with out you
Inside
Me
I can't live with out your
Heart beating
Feel the way the tide breaks
Us apart -
Like a funeral
Like the way our eyes met
The way the sun set
I held your hand
Fingers printed
Like sand never parting
One -
As we sift through this hour glass
Nothing hurts like this
Separated
How can you part
One .
Tuesday, March 22, 2016
Red Baron
The trouble is counterfeit
It's all the same
Left and right
Counted and found wanting
Like stale conversation
Boring plane rides
I see your Braille
When you think your hiding well -
Then there was you
Soaring higher
Behind the mask
It was you all along
I was never
Never invisable
You were a hero
Now I'm left with empty pages
Waiting for someone to read my story again
Turning these pages
The music plays
Can you hear her
Tell me can you hear her
Tuesday, March 1, 2016
Passed (1)
Climbing through my window pane
The sky is dark with memory
Fleeting into the wings of crows
Scattered like black marbles
No direction
No which way to go -
We painted a sign
They couldn't read it could they
I'm here calming the storm
But the crowd is getting heavy
As my eyes
Waiting for something that has left
What can she do
Stethoscope engraved on your sleeves
A sign only I can read
A song only you could hear .
But there's nothing
Tuesday, February 23, 2016
Wreckage
Feel my heart stop I lift my eyes
I can't choose when to love
Or who I am a part of - yellow card
Are like a dead army
At war .
Marching with empty guns
There's a place I hide
A grave where I still find us there
Much alive
I'm fighting at the edge of a storm
Nothing is left but my heart
With weapons down
I'm screaming
Can you hear me ?
I'll fight here in this place
Hearts cut into pieces
I blow there ashes
Falling sand through
Your broken fingers
There's a place I hide
A grave where I still find us their
Much alive
I'm here in the rain
Calling out
Can you hear me ?

Acquisition
The quiet things that no one ever knows - The Brand New
I started a revolution
In your eyes , I traveled through the room
In your arms I fell to my death
I'm the spine holding the broken back
I'm the Vengence
Tearing away your clothes
There's a whisper in the audience
Can you hear my name
I'm the rain
I'm your heart
Feel me beating

Shakespeare
Locks and a safe hanging behind
favorite paintings
Over fireplaces where I sit and contemplate
Everything we can't remember
And the one thing we can .
I'll sit in your chair you see
Smoke your cigar
There is nothing like me
I'll get in your safe
Beyond the maze
With out you recognizing my face
But you will never mind I'm there
Your paintings a cold museum
Perfect ,
I'm a perfect mess .
I read your Braille the moment
We shook hands .
Now you walk the halls of my museum
I ask you
Do you need a cigarette

Possibility
There's a terrible sadness in the air
Pick me up in your shelter
You told me it's cold inside
But I'm out here in the rain -
There's a fire
I course through your veins
Let her break your sky
The Stars cry
Save me like you did yesterday
Save me like I saved you
You say it's cold outside
But I'm out in the rain
Hear the wolves
Coming closer ?
I know you remember me
I have a fire
It runs through your veins
Pick me up in your shelter
You told me it's cold inside
But I'm out here in the rain -
There's a fire
I course through your veins
Let her break your sky
The Stars cry
Save me like you did yesterday
Save me like I saved you
You say it's cold outside
But I'm out in the rain
Hear the wolves
Coming closer ?
I know you remember me
I have a fire
It runs through your veins

Goal Post
I reposted from my Agent Orange blog . I want to redirect some of my poetry traffic to my other blog
It's meant to inspire and help reach goals .
Please go to my blog profile and you will find agent orange blog . Thank you .
Foo fighters - ever long is a great song , My friend Phil got me listening to it now it's my turn to get you to listen to it . And as it streams through my head phones I will write today's blog -

Foo fighters - ever long is a great song , My friend Phil got me listening to it now it's my turn to get you to listen to it . And as it streams through my head phones I will write today's blog -
I started this blog a year and half ago . I wanted it to encourage others in hope and in love . Sometimes I read back and I encourage myself on the days I forget how strong I am .
The one thing I always say to any one is keep your integrity and be you . When friends ask for advice I tell them the same. Sometimes in life we get hurt or others will hurt us . But as long as you can look in the mirror and say I have integrity and I'm being true to myself your doing ok .
Secondly focus on the goals at hand . I have set goals I write them down and crush them . Maybe there are a few I got close that's ok too . You keep pushing keep making new goals .
Sometimes the higher you get the more heat you get . People don't like to see others accomplishing anything . It doesn't matter how nice you are , or who you are , you can't please the masses .
Keep your focus on the finish line . You can't win watching the side lines .
Thirdly - to your friends and enemies give love . This is called character . I mean your going to win right ? All that matters is who's at the end cheering you on .
It's rough I know . Don't lose your joy , sometimes I do , but I'm reminded God is there , friends are there , and look to some of the great people on your journey
Never give up !! Follow the rules

Game Of Risks
" And you asked me to open up my walls to all of this , but I tried , with fingers broken ," - Scope Of All This Rebuilding
I pause in the storm
The silence is screaming
I break for you -
This is how the story goes
Written in between the lines of these pages
Yet all they want is between half past 11 and midnight
There's something to be said about a story unread
Maybe she's missing some pages ........
Some say there's love
I say there's fairy tales
I say fuck
Maybe I broke this type writer
Maybe I'm invisible
He writes at midnight
He says I'm beautiful
I say he's beautiful
What's your story
We both have our walls he says
Fingers bleeding
It's cold outside
I'll let you in
I pause in the storm

Alice and the Cat (1)
There's a rain coat rusted and red
I stare at it hiding in the corner
I watch the sun rising through small rain drops
I remember the way your smile changed my eyes
There's a song playing in the distance
I hear you humming from across the ocean
You whisper -
Alice I have not forgotten -
I contemplate the red jacket
As I toss back whisky and regrets
Make me big again
She says ,
To the cat -
Alice was always brave - he said .
But I could argue that .
So here she goes , the cold sets in
And you dare me to pick my sword up again
Because love lives even when love dies -
And that's what you always taught me -
Never giving up -
I stare at it hiding in the corner
I watch the sun rising through small rain drops
I remember the way your smile changed my eyes
There's a song playing in the distance
I hear you humming from across the ocean
You whisper -
Alice I have not forgotten -
I contemplate the red jacket
As I toss back whisky and regrets
Make me big again
She says ,
To the cat -
Alice was always brave - he said .
But I could argue that .
So here she goes , the cold sets in
And you dare me to pick my sword up again
Because love lives even when love dies -
And that's what you always taught me -
Never giving up -

Heroes
I took a pill this morning
Slip away they say
Make me forget I tell myself
In a mirror -
I forget what love is
Until I see your picture
Then I forget why I'm dead
I cut my day around lost smiles
Take a pill in the pm
Smile fades in the day
The phone rings its him
My emails empty though
I remember you saved me first
Slip away they say
Make me forget I tell myself
In a mirror -
I forget what love is
Until I see your picture
Then I forget why I'm dead
I cut my day around lost smiles
Take a pill in the pm
Smile fades in the day
The phone rings its him
My emails empty though
I remember you saved me first

Entry
View from the roof top of your iris
Seems clouded .....
I sit and conversate with your demons
They can't hear me right .
I'm screaming at the gate .
I watch you holding hands
With a ghost
I hold hands with the past
I carry this letter
I can't find the author
Signed by you

Panic Room
Funny how a familiar smile becomes forgotten
And a laugh that once saved you
Is lost like a stranger -
On a crowded street in New York -
I fancy the way blankets and fingers crossed us
On Mondays
Or the way the city lights hummed as we drove
On Tuesdays
It's Friday now - and we can't spell our names
I love you / written on a steamed bathroom mirror
Lost when you opened the door to say good bye
It's not supposed to end that way ,
It's not supposed to begin that way either
And a laugh that once saved you
Is lost like a stranger -
On a crowded street in New York -
I fancy the way blankets and fingers crossed us
On Mondays
Or the way the city lights hummed as we drove
On Tuesdays
It's Friday now - and we can't spell our names
I love you / written on a steamed bathroom mirror
Lost when you opened the door to say good bye
It's not supposed to end that way ,
It's not supposed to begin that way either

Asleep
Collateral she says
Button missing
Fix me please ?
I'm not the one she says .....
He pleads his case -
I shake my head
I'm left here alone
With graffiti on my walls
Doesn't quite keep her warm
Phone is ringing
"What's the harm , "he says
"Of course ," he says
As she waits alone -
The thing is
He won't even read this letter
He's not even brave enough to save me
Not even brave enough to save himself

Reverse (1)
I'm not sure why
She said
The phone went dead and suddenly
So suddenly the connection was lost -
I went over the story
About the boy
Doesn't matter does it ?
How many times we cry ?
I watch the airplanes fall from the sky
I hold his picture every night
But darling
No ones left holding
On the phone
Gambling your last penny
Drinking your last shot at the bar
Betting your last smile
Of this memory
I'm telling you don't look back
The cost is left in the wonder
Your value a broken mirror
Paid in full with his debts
So let me tell you about a boy
The phone went dead suddenly
So suddenly

Faces
If It was about the value of this penny
All the change in your pocket wouldn't do
It's not about me , it was always about what they saw in you -
I walked around with out a mirror for so long , passing strangers , face planted in the ground
Back faced into the crowd
Invisible
But it was you
The one you couldn't face
All along -
It was your weight I carried
On the shelf
I toss the penny in the well
Staring eye to eye now in the crowd
Sometimes me
Sometimes them
A pocket of change
Your regret

Fiths
There's a candle
Half lit
Ashes breaking in winters Sky
I put my puffy red lips together
Blow you a kiss -
I'm rummaging through band aids
And blankets -
How does she hold you
How does she mend you
It's all the same dear ......
Come sit with me
Snow flakes falling
Not one ever the same
I'll take you for a ride tonight
Make you believe everything's all right
To bring you back to life again -
The wax has become cold
I search for you under the snow
I wish I could
I wish I could
Change nightmares to dreams

The Winter Collection
There's a tide coming in
He said close your eyes
Follow me girl
Into the forest we walk
Blind folded my love
Eyes wide open -
Laundry hanging on the line
Paper clipped heart shapes made of twine
Tell me Mr sandman , I write fairy tales in sand , washed away by the hands
Of the unforgiving tide -
Follow me he says -
He laughs -
The forest is cold -
The crows are screaming
I ask,"have you heard a word I said?"
The sun is setting
The path is narrowing ,
You hold my hand and whisper -
Trust me -
I see him , leaving
And I see him leaving too -
I remember their suit cases were packed long before you got here .
And I'm peeking through these cracks
And I let go of your hand
Because your fingers
Are their fingers
And I'm packed
The train is waiting you see
It's always waiting
Paper mache heart
Perfectly clipped to your hand
In place where I once stood
Tell me Mr sandman ,
How do I write fairy tales
In pen ?
With blind fold on
Eyes closed

Electrical Conduction (1)
A thousand notes scattered and scarred
Can you die of a broken heart ?
Electrical problems they say -
There's a thin line
As I drive one last mile
Praying all the way to the grave
This time I'm alone .
Hand stitched friendship bracelets
Gold cross around my neck
Tattered I am
Used up
What will they say ?
As every dream streams down her face
I hear the dial tone
No one left on the phone .
Can you die from a broken a heart ?
I read the news this morning
The pills prescribed are mine .

Another Song
Picking up hands she says
As the faceless clock mocks me
I fear my leader has gone
And I can't reckon the last time I sailed
Fearless -
Can you see the magic ?
The moment I stepped in to your black picket fences
I burned them to ashes
We called it love
No one understands this rhyme
Of a locket split and frozen in time
Conversations running back and forth in our minds
He heard the music play you see
Silent in the winter air
Now left writing fairy tales

Paper
Old magazine add reads
Obituaries of torn up pictures
Left over memories with no finger prints
No names -
Contacts embrace dialated lense
Old tears fill an ocean of pillows
I rest my head on , only I never sleep
As I carry on alone
Walking with regret
Growing grey and invisible yet invincible isn't the same
Tell me as I lie here alone
How will it end
What will it say
As the water rises
And the violins play
Their tune drunk
They never understood a word
They say
Never understood
The girl at all -

Percussion
Hold the cuffs
Puff out the secrets
Fuck all that red lipstick
You say your not the one
I say I am the sun
I'm everyone's
The narcissist cup
Drink me up
Who can contain me
In your room
In your bed
Tell me your story
Can you read mine
Braille at the end of a journey
I may be your biggest mistake

Tracks
There's a stethoscope love
Bound by the train
I'm roaming on the tracks
I hear your heart beating
I'm pacing
The clock turns half past morning
And the sunrise reminds me
As they sit quietly on the outside breathing
Come in
Come inside
The station is busy
The train passes by
No one notices
Me

The Crack
The pendulum ticks into memories
Cutting them into flecks
Spread across a dusty picture frame
Nothing left
Empty glass
I'm aware of circumstances
I dance alone with consequence
Certainly I have conversations with notions
I grasp at the final words
I scream at the ending
I can't run any more
I'm lost inside
I'm found inside you
Take me apart
I died in your arms
I walked into the gas station tonight
Eyes black streaming
They don't see the pain
Of dying
When you left
I'm lost inside
You see
I'm found inside you -

Winter
Echoes sit boldly in picture frames
I drive along way from home
The noise is deafening
I can see my guardian angel watching me
Quiet
Empty chest
Breathing in and out carefully
Screaming somewhere in a cold snow
Miles and miles away -
How do I go - tell me - how do I go

Devils And Demi - gods
There's a common fire
Approaching the midnight ocean
I see you in the horizon
It's one more victory
Before we turn in -
I can't stand anymore she said
I can't love he said
An' we met under the blanket of dawn
Holding our guns
With all our strength drawn
Devil and his Demi - god
With one last breath
Against a hundred wars they won
Bet against us to the last penny lost
There's a common fire
Approaching the midnight
I see you there
In the horizon
It's one more victory
Won
Before we turn in -

Flame
The day is half decided
Dreams run through like heroine
I can't brush you off -
It's the needle parted into
Heart beats -
Running defeated and half empty
Tell me the secrets we hold in our hands
Stretched faith and shot glasses
Filled with nothing but moments
As the miles go on like a nightmare
I can't wake from -
For every verse is yours
Like heroine
Coveting
All that is mine .
All I've become
Is the day
Half decided .

Sailors Plight
I'm not quite sure how he got the most important paddle
I sit here palm on cheek laughing mildly
To my self alone in my wooden boat
Over thinking stale conversations , about
The way you looked so much better on me
as the sun touches the horizon I'm left a little fuzzy and a little broken
And your left with that part of me somewhere ,with an extra paddle you see
So tell me as I'm left mid sentence as its better for you and better for me - when we're left with broken pieces at the hull of the issue
you were once my captain
I'm left here softly laughing
Some how discouraged
Setting sail

The Races
You are the hero and the killer
Puffy red lips dream of kissing you
Good night
No sign of you
I tell myself in neon intentions nothing's left , as you sink my ship , nuclear she says , something you only see in those books you find in vintage thrift stores -
And the gentleman come and go as fast as they say hello , they've got no chances
She watches the horizon and she knows he's not coming back -
Tell me , what to do with a love like that ?
The quiet is noise these days , I'm so lost
I here the music but it's not the same
You see - it's not the same

Poetry and love
Poetry is a secret story between you and the paper . No one quite knows her secrets except the pen and the the air that dries her fragments and her lover that hears the lost good byes written for him tonight .
I say poetry is best written as a lost letter written for her lover to find . But most poetry remains lost . That's why the best poetry is written late at night and the poet is alone .
No poet will tell you what their poetry means . It's for you to decipher the hieroglyphics of words written for secret soul mates that lay a hundred miles away
Under all these pages and pages and maybe just maybe you can take these words and cut and paste them into your world like music and sing along with us .
I write mostly about a love I met a few years ago and said good bye too -
He is my twin flame my 1111 . I think I write best when I'm loving or falling apart and he has me doing both . And that's just fine I write my best this way .
I urge you to follow along on my journey and find yours as well
- war commander

Conversations
If I could I would write the perfect letter
To bring you home ,
I would tell you about how I drive home at night I think of you and stare at the moon , wondering if you watch it too .
I would tell you how I lay in bed dreaming of holding you just one more time
Wondering if you ever dream it too -
I also wish I could just once hand stitch every song that reminds me of you , but it would be to many lines and to many words , you see -
And if I could one last time I would tell you about how confused I was about your note , because good byes never come bye one way conversations between a lock and a key -
So tell me because I know .... I'm not crazy , and I've been a little around the block , and a girl like me doesn't give love so easy -
So tell me - when I'm a hundred million light years away do you feel me - ?
When I tell you I miss you when I'm alone in my bed ? Do you hear me on my drive home at night tell you I love you when I search the moon ?
And as much as I move on my heart stays back some where with you .
Maybe you will never read this letter addressed to you . But maybe you will hear me talking to you on my drives home .

Never Resting
" In this world there's real and make believe , this seems real to me " - 3 Doors Down -
I can't see the other face of the world
Standing in someone else's life
Like rusted nails we're breaking down
The whisky runs dry -
I see it written on the wall
A Braille only you can feel -
I push in the chair
Leave
You have no good bye
Lost somewhere amongst the crowds
Is she a face you see past the doubts
As you run
She waits alone in the bar -
There's nothing I can do
Nothing I can say to make you
Understand
She walks slowly to the door
Do you remember what was left behind
And I -
Fall to my knees ,
Like a rusted dream it falls apart
Braille on the wall
I'm writing this letter to you
I know you hear me
Whisky runs dry
No good bye
Don't tell me
I'm not
A face in the crowd
As she leaves the bar

Letter to You
I'm pressing forward
But I can't move my heart
I can't go on with out you -
And I'm moving
I'm happy -
But I'm lost -
It may sound crazy
Me writing a letter
About loving someone so much
But I'm laying in bed dreaming about you -
Now that I'm alone in my bed
With a broken heart
Tell me how does one go on
Knowing I love you so much . This isn't a poem you see . It's just me and these words laying here in the dark.
As the tears fall down my face
11:11 reads on the clock -
All I wanted to know is if you ever felt
The same . Do you miss me when I miss you ? You may never see this letter
Or know - how hard it is to go on with out you
Thursday, August 6, 2015
Are you here ?
Sometimes you wonder when someone lets you go , if it's so hard for me is it hard for them at all ? I can hardly stand it. Checking my inbox and nothing . You want them to change there mind . I can't chase it anymore . If he loved me at all he would come back - I can't wait either - but in a way i do , in a way I always will -
