"lost sight"
we've lost sight of what's lovely,
we've lost sight of what's wise
we've lost sight of the truth,
all we can see now are the lies
we've lost sight of ourselves,
we've lost sight of the way
we've lost sight of the sun,
we can't even see the day
we've lost sight of our reason,
we've lost sight of our home
we've lost sight of the heavens,
and we've found ourselves alone

Money > CM.
Its a fact of life.
Actually a while ago (couple of mothes) some guy freaked out at you for making a joke. The thread was like 6 months old though, so it was all funny. He got himself banned out of it. Good times indeed.

"lost ideas"
bits and pieces stay the same,
the whole will change, what will remain
things will never be the same,
you'll forget to name, waht you can't tame
it may not be the best,
written so bereft, it's all that's left
everything can't be the best,
leave it on the shelf, all by itself
...
"the cover lost to carry"
in writing comes my comfort,
my fears hidden, but admitted
tucked into a drawer,
a tattered notebook, ohh how fitting
the cover lost to carry,
dog-eared pages, brown from time
in it lies my true self,
barely legible, truth in rhyme
most pages sit here filled,
with half ideas, where beauty lies
my soul in every sentence,
alongside all my failures, and all my tries

I'm trying to learn the art of balancing time between writing on "fallen leaves," and my passion for poetry (it's amazing how much you miss writing short things after devoting all your time to something long).
"this sanctuary"
the hole left in the wall,
a broken hand, and broken heart
someday both will mend,
it seems the healing never starts
water drips down in the corner,
an old pinhole slows its pace
from flowing like a torrent,
and washing out this place
the floor rests on so weathered,
so mistreated on our way
with cracks reaching for miles,
thicker each passing day
this sanctuary barely standing,
resting on it's tattered past
of memories not forgotten,
in our souls to ever last
...
"broken yesterday"
if love crosses my mind,
it's the saddest way--
broken yesterday
standing in my head,
with all I should have said
for most a happy thing,
but for me reminds--
old fear and lies
the mistakes that linger on,
with the ones I never tried
looking to tomorrow,
it's been too long--
the day's now gone
and my heart's deepest desire,
as I wish I were this strong
...

"tiptoes on the grass"
tiptoes on the grass,
still heat, the summer night
the moon full in the sky,
guided here, by the moon's light
jump the small rail fence,
make it in, a million times before
but it's different just this once,
strain for silence, becomes a chore
linger by the jungle,
it's changed, just like the day
stumble past the slide,
hurts far too much, here to stay
make it to the swing,
and slowly sit, try not to creak
I'll tip my hat down to the night,
as a tear soon rolls, down my cheek
...
"skeletons I never met"
trying introspection,
running out of things to find
go 'till its all gone,
my God it won't be long
my life is lived so limited,
single-sided for its fourth
filled with pain still left to cope,
but always clinging to dear hope
dig so deep inside myself,
finding things I've never seen
skeletons I never met,
with their agendas soaking wet
