All I See

Oh sister Mary
We are everlasting
Intertwined within into something 
I've never felt this way before
Let go of all of these mixed emotions
Forget about all your hesitations
My beating heart is only just the start
Oh sister don't be troubled
I know this isn't what you're used to
It's hard to let go of the past
But this train is moving 
And I am made for you
Together we're heading ceiling
I can not stand this stalling
All I see is your face 
I am seeing you every day
Patiently I stand here waiting
I want you to know that you make me glow
Don't ever ever let go
You're taking time 
But I hope you realize
You haven't missed a night of dancing through my dreams
Nothing will ever be simple
But I can meet you half way
Because we complete each others lives

The Need Is The Word

What makes you happy
What can I do to help
You are my stone
I swear I cannot hurt you
I'll stand by your side
There's no one else
You're in my eyes
I feel empty
Oh my girl please come home
Sidetracked and so alone
I don't know what to do
All I said is said
I just want my other half
I am longing for your embrace
This heart is filled with love
If I am snow then you are winter
I do not want you
I need you
Everything is missing
Can you hear my voice
All I am is for you

Hope For A Day

Give me a day to feel sad
Mourning slothfully and weeping softly
Quietly pushing the covers over my head
Snoozing through the day young 
Pushing the sun through the sky
Unevenly laying balanced by weakness
Waking for a breath and falling deeper
Seeping into a dream laid before my dark eyes
Absent from light and immune to my teeth
Neither will know and neither will show
Coming home crying to my ceiling 
Reaching for letters written fondly
Scribbling letters forming into words
Unable to identify my heartache or my headache
Plotting to find peace in my theatrical muse
I come short of feeling
Leaning over into numbing
I am merely sleeping awake
Tapping of piano keys patter on my roof
Each note sending me whirling as if the player knew
Candle lit and dim I will sit perched in the street
Upon the shore of the ocean I hold back
Shivering frost and biter cold cheeks I can not move
Hoping for a day where my sadness has gone away...

Make Some Sense

Yellow little rabbit hole
Follow through the snow
Galloping around the footprints
Dodging the trees barely missing
Hanging around the fireflies
Conversing with big ugly things
No hours watching the jungle gym
Overly alive just trying to survive
Six miles south of north map
Under this one shooting down
Big lion calls sprawled out
Mistaken paper nap sack
Barely alive using words to speak aloud
Crouching below the big willow
Monsters very tall 
Drill a tiny hole
Measure a new train
Find a new game 
Give me a compass 
Who among is still young 

UN

UNdress my EYES of these tears dripping from MY chin
UNweave this HEART from the Weight holding me to the FLOOR
UNcover fears nestled in my BONES
Break me free of this prison I hold myself in 
Speak to me words of silent melodies dying in days never to come
UNhinge this desire within
Mold me in the likeness of a man
Bear heavy words of Encouragement 
Able to hear from this land
Put me in a HOLE and feed me no Food
Strengthen my abilities to Survive solely alone
Give me a breath of LIFE
Pick me up OFF of this ground
Solidify my joints resisting a fall
Dam my EYE lids
UNdo this mess I laid MYSELF in

Friend of All Friends

I sit discussing things of value that might not mean anything at all
Politics and art such things that vary from time to time
We holler aloud in our silent space giving ear to each other
Our spoken words absent of sound, heard
Never ceasing to stop this conversation, endless
Weather or not these friends of mine are real I do not dwell in
They listen well and that is why they are with me
All of us together form a single body
They are always around
No need to call them
No need to wait for them
Transparent to time
Mirrored from me
Lending their hand for help
I'm fine with these voices in my head

Long Lost Message

Who among you is but a fool
The sky is moving she's a moon
These garments showing fumes 
Growing feathers beneath the womb
Sky is woman she's on the move
This love is a running loom
Leave me rope so I can get back home
Vanish on the bow
Feel it all
Feel it in the dark room 
My mind could not walk this silver
Pale son all he wants
This story goes
I will see you when he gets home
Follow through
Uncharted footstep blanks
Friendly ghosts
Someday moons pain will be clean
With all these wolves around you
Send me the message when I get home
Something might get me
Ringing this one dry
Carry the story from old
Can you give him a clue
Natural blue
One mile until lost
Coming to a loss
Don't bother them
I'll send him in the morning

Death has risen before me and I have shaken his hand
Both in agreement that he almost won but still acknowledging that this has just begun
This tug of war for my life is teetering on the edge of exhaustion
Bringing me to the brink of my sanity
The ruler of all lies has placed his tongue softly on the beating drum of my ear
The droplets of his saliva are solidifying around my ears like wax headphones
Numbing the truths that are so visibly screaming on my left and rights
Wrapping his warm arms around me and rocking, he sings with his brilliant slaves
Sunset after sunset I find myself wandering like a baby penguin back to mother for comfort and warmth
Perching just below reality
This constant battle is requiring a sword that my dagger can not overcome
My armors pierced and battered grieving to be restored 
Every opening of my eyes reborn
Covering my sheepish body snow white wool flows full and thick that can never be sheered
I'm in refuge

Drive Me

Today I was asked the question "Where is your life going?"
It got me thinking about the question, does any person "know" where there life is going?
Do we plan out our lives? Or do we just play the by standard in this roller coaster life?
Can we actually "plan" out our life? or do we just try and make it go the way we want it?
Does God play a factor in planning our life?
If he does, can we alter his plan?
If we control our own life and plan it ourselves, then why doesn't it go the way we planned?
Are we actually "controlling" anything?
And if we do control our life does that mean we have some sort of power?
When do we begin to take "control" of our lives?
Does the controlling of our lives differ in our age? Or are we always somehow in control?
What kind of control do we have?
What part of our life do we control? Or do we control all of it?
Does God ever get any credit?
Why is it that when life goes "wrong" to our plan, we blame God?
But when life is good, who needs God?
Selfishly do we expect God to just make everything "okay" when things go wrong?
Can anyone rely on God all of the time? No matter what sort of ride we are on. 
Do we ever do anything for others purely just out of goodness? Or is it always deep selfishness.
Do we do things thinking we will receive something? 
Can we as people handle the fact that we can't do anything on our own?
Can we deal with the fact that we are weak?
Could you deal with someone you have never met running your life?

Belief

In this day and age does God matter?
If everyone believed in the same god would that change anything?
Would we be able to stop the war if God was the center of our beliefs?
Are humans capable of changing dramatically just by changing beliefs?
Can a human change in general?
Where do we draw the line on why we are fighting the war?
If everyone in the whole entire world decided to believe in Jesus Christ and His teachings would that result in peace?
As human beings just believing in the same god doesn't change the fact that we are selfish.
So why do we believe in God in the first place?
If believing in God didn't bring peace to all nations then what would?
Can we change our human nature?
Are we all born evil and some choose to be good?
What is good and evil?
How does a non religious person define good and evil?
If there was no law from the bible then how would you define good and evil?
Is good and evil a state of mind or an action?
If everyone wants world peace then how come we still lie, cheat, and steal?
How come everyone thinks everyone else should change and not themselves?
Would a simple agree in belief change the world?
What do you believe?
