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 

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 

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 . 

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 

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 

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 

Deserted dreams 

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

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 -

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

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 -

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

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

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
