Hard to say I know you
Hey there
I found your note
I thought you should know
It's a roller coaster
sitting on a fence
an obsessive decadence,
Let's sit and watch.
When the highlight of your day
was yesterday
I find it hard to say
I know you.
Hey there
I think it's time
I thought you should know
I'm a trapeze artist
in artistic times
while you stradle a fence
hoping it won't break
It's hard to say I know you
When you act like this
It's hard to say I know you.
pouring out your soul

I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

Greed lies underneath
seaps into dreams
of power and money
strength and vigor
conscience and pride.
Greed, a madness
inside a man
takes a grip
inside of a soul
empty and broken.
Greed, a broken mind
a running hour glass
slipping sand,
the hands of time.
Greed, a spark
power
in the darkest hour
lights a flame.
never the same.
never satisfied.

The boy who can't sleep
Unbridled fatigue conquers the soul,
as I tumble and slip
to the greater below,
buried in this
unbearable body.
Alone in here
I subsist on fear
and shallow dreams
of the boy who can't sleep.
Saturated with luminary
anticipation
I wait for the creeping
wake of lies to catch up
and carry me along.
Take me to a place,
sweep me up in the
chaos of rolling
churning
gulping oceanic
tumult
distant from the
conventions of land.
And I will never fight the tide;
awaiting my liquid death
still consumed by
the boy who can't sleep.
Choking on the saltine
hydro-unreachable oxygen,
closing my eyes to the crush
of blue-green-black
as the sound of my
pulsing heart is
drowed out by escaping air.
The water forces its way in.
the boy who can't sleep,
meet the girl who can't swim.

howdy-doo my fine CM-er pals! I haven't posted in a whiiiiile (been mad busy with that crazy thing called real life! ugggh) I've got a couple of new things I kinda dig...check it...
"wave goodbye to me"
<i>
an avalanche of thoughts
the martyr to my dreams
burning stars, a blackened sky,
and nothing's as it seems
I fall asleep so soundly
with my face turned to the sky
pupils round, see the sound,
with my eyelids open wide
painted snow and mountains
as neckade as the trees
just swaying in the distance
as they wave goodbye to me
</i>
...
"in morning"
<I>
it seems every dream I have
always ends in morning
the sun finding the heavens--
chase my smile away
blinds slice through the daylight
not enough to make it die
always finding my eyes--
to just chase my smile away</i>
...
Kind of got off on a notebook ramble sort of about intuition...this came out...i dig it...
<i>
That feeling. Somewhere low. Lower than the pit of your stomach, miles below the soles of your feet. That deep suspense that something is on the verge of happening. That unspoken knowing that everything is somehow coming to a head. That all of the things that have happened have just been leading you to this moment. And you’re standing on this ledge. Bare feet on cold stone, miles above the earth; toes hanging over the side. Swaying—back and forth, back and forth—just trying to decide if you should do it. Whatever that ‘it’ is.
Empty faces, with every eye full of everything. All the words unspoken, all the things unsaid. The air not quite full of lies; but never really the truth, either. Just the in-between. Always just the in-between. The grey skies and empty mountains. Always just the in-between.

"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.

"thinking & learning"
girl, before you
I'd never stood in the middle
and watched something crash down
a lie I thought I believed in
the sunsest quickly coming,
with the chill that fills the air
and, before you
I'd never felt this way
to just have it slip away
when there's nothing I could do
my heart just beats on faster,
and I can almost smile and sigh
and girl, before you
I didn't have this broken story
to tell through broken eyes
dark days and inspiration
as empty pages and lost ideas,
are all that's left to make me smile

That is awesome.

Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf
Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...
Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...
So glad you could stay
Forever
He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand
You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..
So glad you could stay
Forever

"and so it seems"
and so it seems
my every dream
always ends in morning
dawning through
the grey sky
to chase my life away
let me sleep
to smile, to weep
'cause in my mind I'm soaring
but in this walk
the world, the talk
seems my smile'll never stay
...
"tiny crosses in the sky"
and the steeples tear the heavens
tiny crosses in the sky
the horizon from my window
where I sit alone and write
wind so brutal, rain so black
as the asphalt grows so cold
and this city, is just a ghost town
as all the colors fade from bold
and so it seems
my every dream
always ends in morning
dawning through
the grey sky
to chase my life away
let me sleep
to smile, to weep
'cause in my mind I'm soaring

what's up guys 
I know... it's been a WHILE! I miss you all... soooo much! I've been mad busy with school, work... and I have fallen head over heels in love with the most AMAZING girl! We've been together since before the Summer... and I just love her more with every day! It's crazy how things work out!
anyways... wrote this a day or so ago...
"Hallelujah, Hallelujah"
and I'll pray for you
when you can't find the breath
and whisper to your heart
when silence's all that's left
and I'll stand for you
when you can't find your feet
shattered to the ground
and the world says you're too weak
when the heavens rain down sadness
and I can't find the strength to smile
help me see, and help me cry
help me live, and help me die
and when my heart just lies here breaking
in the freezing rain and cold
let 'Hallelujah, Hallelujah,'
be the only thing I say,
hallelujah, hallelujah
Lord, take me away

it's taken long enough... but I'm BACK! Me and my roommate just got the 'net hooked up at our place. So I am LIVE, yo! Woohoo!!!! CM!!! I missed ya!!!
here's some newness!!
"to the floor"
and I can see
the words I speak
go crashing
to the floor
the prayers felt
whispered, knelt;
but I don't need
you, anymore
as I'm running out
of things to say
to you, that
you don't hear
so I'll lie here wasting
in the floor
just crying;
for you-- my dear
...
"stay"
biting my lips
to keep the tears at bay
when all I want
to do is break
to feel you break
right here with me
and cloudy skies
cloud my eyes
full moon breaking
find the light...
as empty words and lies
fill my heart my eyes
feel the rain
feel the tears
feel the pain
and feel the years
and all I want
and all I need
is for you to stay
to stay with me
until all I want
and all I see
is you right here
right here with me
I'm closing my eyes
to hide you in the air
just a whisper
is all it takes
to break--
I fear to hear
what you might say
and cloudy skies
cloud my eyes
full moon breaking
find the light...
as empty words and lies
fill my heart my eyes
feel the rain
feel the tears
feel the pain
and feel the years
and all I want
and all I need
is for you to stay
to stay with me
until all I want
and all I see
is you right here
right here with me
...
It's GOOD to be back!!
