your face next to mine
breath soft
slow
my fingers trace the contours of your cheeks
your neck
your soul
jealous that i have to share you with the moonlight
it dances across your chest
and your breath quickens
with the beat of my heart
and the touch of my lips
i stare into your eyes
no longer locked with mine
and i know beauty
your beauty
my body swimming in your senses
drowning in these copper sheets
i've tasted heaven

evolution of man

trapped by what surrounds me
nothing acts my age
my body chill
mind shrill times kill
no one waits to turn the page
we've lost the hands that feed
digested long ago
eyes filled with light
all sad and contrite
lies run deeper then soul
freedom's nothing but a word
granted we take it for all
fumble, stumble, all but humble
tumble, crumble
now we crawl

...

minutes pass like hours
the day feels like a blur
my body's numb
no focus here
i didn't think i'd be missing her
pretending i'm somewhere else
feigning strength
so you can be strong
killing myself softly
telling myself nothing's wrong
cutting deep into my flesh
set free what lives inside
it won't come out
rooted deep
i'll kill it when i die
all the world's turned black and white
colours hurt my eyes
but the sun still shines
and people smile
so here's me
all dressed in guise

wants

and the band plays on

as we all sink below

scratching nothing

no surface

while ones heart lays dying on the floor

and our eyes hide nothing

not the lies

not our soul

which we've sacrificed for nothing

because our wants are for nothing

but one begs for a life

and her crys are unheard

beneath the city's light

and traffic jams

all bustle no hustle

because we drive around in circles

the ring around the rosy

like children 

we fall

words

i've eyes that see through
your heart
your pain
i'd walk forever in your shoes
if you'd just let me in
my soul it aches
for what might come to pass
and i'd bear it all [if i could]
so that you never would have

my thoughts transcend words

a simple man

my hero
held high
a simple man
my heart breaks
with love
a simple love
his blood
my blood
a simple blood
the thought
his thought
a simple thought
brings up my world
a whole

no more holding hands
as we age
day by day
no more rosy
no more ring
around the world
we've lost
everything
prying eyes
we've turned our backs
to crying eyes
the souls within
begging
us

but

'it's the end of the world as we know it,
and i feel fine"

slowly

(1)
blue skies blanket all the world
sunday mornings haze
(2)
calm/serene are taupes and greens
filling in the daze
(3)
people pop like candy corn
bubble gum speckled floor
(4)
melting into coffee grinds
this world is a bore
(5)
lightning red and fire strong
eyes begin to itch
(6)
switch

crazy kitty climbing, clawing up and down my brain
raking zen gardens
back and forth
erase
and start again
broken glass and body parts like jewels in the sand
stranded on a rock, i am a rock
alone i stand

one more time

One more time
We gonna celebrate
Oh yeah, all right
Don't stop dancing


One more time
Music's got me feeling so free
We gonna celebrate
one more time

todays quest hath been foiled by natures wrath;
minor rain and a bit of a chill.

if cameras were death proof i'd brave it.

i might still.
