Looks Good
Calling Card Games
Remember When
Make it Happen
in the NOW moment
thats what we do
thats how we try
the night sky is bigger
than a lonely river
You swallowed it down
Big and Better now
You're a doctor with a spell
Witch cant tell
It will all be okay
In the morning
I swear to you right now

Masters of Comfort
Behold such a character
The Wolf and the Wardrobe
Something Happened
We don't know What
He'll figure it out
As the tide turns
Infants learned
Imagination stirred
Creation meant something Bold
The overture was overheard
the slippers were slipping
masks over word

Milk & Honey
I sat there pleading on your doorstep
Tears in your eyes
You wanted to call for help
I wouldn't let you
The dogs came and drank
Tomorrow will never come
Before the day is done
When there are no more
Bells to be rung

Definition of a loner
In their growth as individuals, humans start a separation process at birth, which continues with growing independence towards adulthood. As such, feeling alone can be a healthy emotion and, indeed, choosing to be alone for a period of solitude can be enriching. To experience loneliness, however, can be to feel overwhelmed by an unbearable feeling of separateness at a profound level. This can manifest in feelings of abandonment, rejection, depression, insecurity, anxiety, hopelessness, unworthiness, meaninglessness, and resentment. If these feelings are prolonged they may become debilitating and prevent the affected individual from developing healthy relationships and lifestyles. If the individual is convinced he or she is unlovable, this will increase the experience of suffering and the likelihood of avoiding social contact. Low self esteem will often trigger the social disconnection which can lead to loneliness.
In some people, temporary or prolonged loneliness can lead to notable artistic and creative expression, for example, as was the case with Emily Dickinson. This is not to imply that loneliness itself ensures this creativity; rather, it may have an influence on the subject matter of the artist.

counting rain drop tear tones for PLEASURE
eating up every last scrap of CAKE in a HURRY
spelling out alphabet names in my CEREAL
not knowing whether sane is sane or insane is sane
feeling like a million and two cents but why BOTHER?
floating on cloud gods sail ships while taking a SHOWER
not wanting to but wanting it more than anything EVER
not knowing and knowing too much to succumb to
talking to Oprah Winfrey about the bad WEATHER
Friday, August 29, 2008
i'm so god damn hungry i can't stop crying
another rainy day weather blues, this isn't a complaint
just a melodramatic life vein withering
i'm whimpering in my own imagined pain
the loss of usefulness is insane
when i get there i'll remember my true name
come gather and watch us on our roads claim to fame
Denis Leary Weary
overflowing in our youthful presents(cents) to the day
oh GAWD how i missed your xx face
if we keep pushing eventually we'll get through
i'm moving even though i forgot how to
every word written like a manual
i never told you where i was going
there is no script but we keep on writing
can i play in the fortress with you?
or will i be condemned to solitude?
i'll keep waiting by the steps with a bouquet full of gratitude
the only solace for a sleepless attitude
the mourning leaves do believe in sunshine
until the chapel comes to bed in gods night gown
you are dressing only to mislead others
your mothers saying was always to be brave
and to have a a head free of slaves
for the mourning glory of the stars face does not fade
and your beckoning is more than i can erase
Your heart is leaking on my kitchen floor
hangers by the front door on a weekend rain report
We're making it already like i said before
The oven was left on to record heat
the last four digits of your social are leading us to the end of the world
coy as your face might be when you look at me i do enjoy your disdain
the stains on my carpet won't come clean until i get some SERVICE in here
remembering the forgotten in order to overcome a place we thought we'd never find
we've been searching for a river of gold with a gulf in the straight of time

Poems 2004 (pre-college)
Like an open book with missing pages he finds the perfect words to fill its vacancy.
The better you look the more you see he said.
You let the words drip from your lips to mine.
A taste like sour fruit.
And I wanted it more than ever.
Your skin like leather and I’d kill to have it wrapped around me.
This time forever.
When is the last time that you saw me and does it really matter?
You’ll always feel the same
Only time will change.
Nothing is as familiar as bad poetry.
And so my heart sleeps
Crash calls crash calls crash calls Crash calls
The ring of a broken word
Against the backdrop of the falling sky
Moments weighed heavily in hefty trash bags
Waiting for flies to piddle in its warmth,
The stench of uncertainty hanging clearly in the air.
Soft words fall like razorblade kisses
And yet you speak to me with open wounds
Wed me in the holy matrimony of forgotten song.
And we’ll pretend like we never met.
Whisper like highway bliss
Palms sweat
Heartbeats MissedWe were on a train, the type of train that ends up leading you nowhere fast. The type of train that leaves you in a wreck yet you come out completely unharmed; physically. Mentally well… we all know that mentality moves and changes as if to keep up with the clocks ticking hands. You were there; you watched the whole thing take place. As if in slow motion you saw the faces in the crowd change like a picture show. Eye brows raise, faces fall, eyes close and mouths open. We all wanted something. We all wanted something to come home to, although I knew that nobody would be waiting up for my return and nobody would miss me when I didn’t show up that day. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and absence is what made me want to hold on a little bit longer. Ten years later she was still a little girl, only dressed in women’s clothing with her face made up and her hair blown and sprayed to perfection, her eyes being the only thing to give away her true age. She lived her life like a window that wouldn’t close, forever letting the cold breeze fill up her space in the room. Her vocabulary would never reach volumes high enough to articulate what she truly thought she felt. He loved her. He loved her everything and anything, even the things he hated about her, he loved to hate them. Yet he kept his distance as best he could. He watched her beauty blossom like a flower and her mind whither from many years of keeping people out of her reach. When she made wishes she wished that she had less to wish for, but most of all she wished for him. She wished that they were lovers but knew it was better off this way. They tried to remember to forget each other. Like a parasite each memory ate away at their hearts.
writing myself into books that were long forgotten
as they gather dust i gather grapes and stories
making wine out of pages and devouring every scrap in sight
i guess we were hungry, no starving.
I see color that doesn't exist, this world is an illusion
we have everything, everywhere always
Remember, time never forgets...

i can barely stand without having another drink
we danced languidly until the moon fell down
along with all the stars in this astroplane catastrophe
theres talk of a deficit and the crimes we've committed
all was said in the same breath as we saw inside each others reflection
we shot golden rods at each other with our lightning bolt intensity
and then had the nerve to be cool about it later
yes it is true there is no truce on the edge of a barrel
i hold my gun close and ready to shoot at a moments notice
i shoot at the stars sometimes at night when they're bright
too bright for my liking, i take them out whenever your not looking

finger on the trigger of a gun
It's moments like these where
you have to stop and wonder
Has GOD forsaken ME?
Forgetting momentarily that you don't BELIEVE
A high pitched scream is enough to stop a corpse dead
blistering, boasting
even heaven knows that the road to peace
is long and Bloody
as i'm grinding my teeth
and starring at your boner
it's a hard deal pretending not to notice
you must have put it out there for something
i guess i should be flattered
it could be a royal compliment in another country
yet here in the land of the free all we can do
is be modest and hope that some other prick
points it out and tries to sell it to us
to stick it in our mouth for good flavor
and good measure
because nobody wants to go hungry
and everybody needs a good cock and some money
2
another two weeks goes by
and then a year
there are no more blues clues for you to find
only a fucking letter
that says
thanks, you fucking prick nows wheres my money?
1
and
Thirsty for Bones
there are no fucking rules in this joint
cuz i killed them all
while you were sleeping
and as you slept i watched you
with your pretty face pushed up against the pillow
you said something
something like "i love you"
but you only said it in your dreams
and when you awoke you didn't remember
I'd light a fire in your fucking heart to help you
but i think i'll sleep in instead
I had a dream that i was waiting for a bus in front of someones house surfing their radio from across the street... i was waiting there for a long time now that i think about it or maybe it was a sequence of days either way the bus finally came and as i got on i saw this guy that i haven't seen in a while i guess he was happy to see me as he gave me a greeting saying he hadn't seen me in a while and told me i looked beautiful i guess the thing that struck me most when i woke up was that i had actually been waiting in the dream.. it was really boring just sitting there but you know.. i guess it makes sense i've been having short dreams sparingly all week and i'm not really sure what they're telling me

and

listening to garbage in the moon light
talking trash about pretty people in school
drinking alcohol for the first time
touching on someone else's "private parts"
regretting it later
bragging about everything
feeling like a champ
looking at the dirt
wild at heart
contagious as wild fire
the dark
and the joy it brings
to see white horses
in daylight savings
On the Daily, Real Time
I'll let you interpret.
What a summer! Coming to a close just as quickly as it came like so many other things spinning around in my world sometimes when i know it's the end i just like to sit and watch for a moment, hold it, then let it go. So many things have happened that i can hardly remember. Maybe nothing happened, maybe everything is the same as it was and i just forgot. Things feel different though, before you know it I'll be one of those people too... graduated off doing other things, leaving. Soon enough, I keep waiting for it and when it comes what then? I don't know.. we'll see when friends report back i'll make my move then. in the future. Feeling lonely kind of like i miss a lot of people but trying not to show it cuz you know big girls DON'T cry and i NEVER would. But it's true. Things are very different, I can't deny that. I'm maturing and it's weird. However i am making the best work of my life right now. Maybe thats what it is once your really alone you get to look at yourself naked with no one else around to see what you're REALLY made of. flesh and bone and WHATELSE? I don't know yet... i haven't figured it out maybe a mix of cotton candy and a nice steak. I don't know what i'm saying... something i've said before like nothing is good or bad just different. Where did this year go? What happened? Who cranked up the speed? What happens next? When do i find out? and How will i know? i still remember... Today i finish it. You'll see soon enough.

Hallelujah
cloud your lenscraft face
as if an angel had fallen
from god's grace
and told you nothing of it's consequences
f a l l i n g was nothing until
you learned that you had to fall on your feet
without the use of your wings for god had taken
them after the fall of eden after you had eaten
and it was then that you knew there was no escape
and no such thing as returning the seed of snakes
Planted there forever growing and not wanting to
but knowing that there was nothing you could do to stop it
from sowing...
just to win
a gold metal king
card to your hearts
desired kingdom
here like freedom
and heaven on earth
may god have mercy
on all that have given birth
to such excellency
when all men know that
a mothers warmth
is braver than
a mans bloody sword
true strength is known
to those who can hold their own
on this long and lonely road
back home

when yes means no
we said goodbye to our dying friends and hello to what the future brings as time knows you'll never leave me and your name is buried in my thoughts always for the comfort it brings to my heavy heart
do not fear friend for the tears in your eyes are only fear of leaving but remember this and i will always be with you for as long as you keep me with you and think kindly thoughts of me while you're away
a place will remain here
for you always

The difference between Love and In Love
i know you'll always be there to make amends
even when my hands are tied
you free them with your elegant slide
the way you move on the dance floor
like soft jello to the moon
and i hope you'll always be there
to catch my fall
in a summers night swoon
as the air is perspiring
like a heart attack lover
your mood is nothing to be ashamed of
in this place of forever nothingness
your love is gold on my charmed
bracelet and your embrace
is like a weathered shoe horn
fit like a glove on a hot summer day front
The End of an Era
fast paced sports car
RACE RACE RACE
I held the red flag in the palm of my hand
as she starred at me through the glass
does she know how much i admire that face of hers?
her beauty is beyond spoken word
like a flower out of the earth
i loved her
essence
any day now
i'll have her
completely

Guilt & Gluttony
against
my fellow
man
This Guilt
is the root
of my fury
and the wrath
in his wretched heart
Strings to infinity
for i wanted too much
in this life and i gave it up
too quickly and not quickly enough
Heaven is above us
and i give you all my love
forever until my body dies
and there is no more
to lie for
in this place
and the light takes it's place
in the darkness
as we live together
as brothers
in
the
stars
forever
Like a prayer

around in mischievous wigs and diamond gold bracelets
never trust a well dressed lady i tell you cuz these things
will pain you and hell knows theres no such thing as ghosts
in these parts Yes. we're all flesh and bone here although
you gotta fight hard to keep it on. everybody is looking for blood
and a nice jew to hang onto for money and/or sexual favors
thank gawd i still got a pint left in me to hold me over til next winter
you know these flowers are all dying inside and out too
and we ain't gonna do a goddamn thing about it

Eoh refers to the Yew tree. The Yew does not go dormant and therefore represents endurance. Even the wood of the tree is strong, resilient, and pliable - the Yew bends, but does not break. The evergreen nature of the Yew is present even in the rune itself, as it cannot be changed even by reversal. This rune is historically symbolic of death, but, as in the Tarot and as suggested by the nature of the Yew tree itself, death is seen only as a transmutation of something eternal and unchanging - the spirit.
The Chariot: Victory through might. Advancement through bold action. Change through force. Order established through vigilance. A trying situation mastered by balancing opposing forces against each other. Discipline, individual effort and endurance will turn the tide.

Red over Gold
People stop and stare and look
At me. and my Body.
I don't really mind much anymore
Some called me Mary Magdalene.
You Know the way fearful men are
Like wolves they will hunt you
Wise men know that blind pirates can't see gems
especially red rubies
a hawk more flattered by gold than beauty
souring off into the distance in search of...
another mountain
God told me
not to play with fire
and I got good and burnt
a couple times
He told me not to go near the water
less I knew how to swim
but I jumped in anyway
head first I did!
Didn't do me much good that time either..
and so i reckon that old man got it right,
at least some of the time.

solitude is beginning to bear its weightonthings
longing for that caressing handshake
as my mouth is open wide
shouting at your persistence
and there is no more
it is only quiet in here
for now it is time to sleep
for good in this ccaughin(coffin) ghost townn
because the crooks don't like it
when you make it loudin the night
it's hard enough for them to sleep
well be good to the kind one
that winks in your presence for they hold
the key to something far more valuable
than gold as the needle breaks
from 5 points westhe letter says
to keep your eyes peeled ont he odometer
as it rings with prayers of sound piece of mind
the least of whichcould not compare
by for this is too much
of a load for one to bear
as we are not divided in(2)pairs
and there is no moneyfor the rest of us
It's like they never left
be so weak?
with a stare that
makes your mouth bleed
likawinter breeze
[{how could you?}]
this is bleak
grass headlines
on buildings l edge
false teeth
beckoning as it stabs
right through you
like bow & arrow
while the messenger
is lying next to you
not breathing
and it comes again,
{[how could you?]}
do. this. to. me.

and it warms

theres a white horse
and a boy
save grace.
and praise.
for he is your savior
let him in and you will be saved.

Why did it die? Where did it go?
What happens?
Why do we bury it?
Will it be ok?
I have questions!
She tried to answer them the best she could
god bless her soul, she tried to to tell me
but maybe she didn't know
maybe she didn't know what to say
she was a younger woman back then
Death had not touched her yet

On solitude
don't you know that
that longing you feel inside
that longing for god
is all about yourself.
strangers forget the names of everything
Never was one for remembering
could tell you about a song i wrote
in my younger days
about a girl
who lost her way
but through and through
it called to her
she had a cat named killer
lived in the woods
next to grandmother
in the books
and the wolf

Feeling good about pretty much everything else though.
The thought of leaving soon sounds good. real good.
The thought of starting something new sounds good too.
A lot of things, as soon as I'm done. ALMOST THERE.
I need to start saving up money and ideas.
Gotta keep up.
Less worry.

it's pavement screams
and sighs are only a whisper
I picked white pocket flowers
with Julie today.
she said she liked the weather
but had a lot to do
obligations, she said.
I understood.
But i didn't care
maybe it was it's fragrance that captured me.
or the wind but
nothing seemed more important.
nothing else seemed to exist
only what i wanted
in that moment
everything was fulfilled
every prayer
every wish
every moment
every touch
and every kiss
they all meant something
and You know we will all shake hands one day
and kiss each other on the cheek

Neverland
It was just going to be a nap but i couldn't get myself to move.
After resting an hour my alarm went off. I didn't move i kept sleeping.
It's summer, there must be rest to be had. I've been working hard for a long time now.
and i need rest. Still do maybe. But there is work to be done. There's always more.
This is the beginning of the long haul i think. Maybe thats what they call it. That "grown up" phase.
Where things like responsibility become your middle name. The game changes.
And yet stubbornly i stick to my fantaseas! Like Pan and Wendy.
It's a story I've been told one too many times.
The story of growing up and giving up on the things you love most! But why!
Why must i do this to grow up! What is wrong with my fantasy? It is mine!
It's the one thing i can call my own and depend on to be there when i wake up
and even if i wanted it to go away, which i probably have. Still it stays.
Ever present like a memory but not. It will never fade.
I pick up pieces of this fantasy each day, little treasures.
Which make me believe that a part of it is real. and tangible. and not fantasy at all.

resistance like a pocketbook calendar
in a field of hopes and dreams
where everyone goes to sleep
the way I see it you were always there
for every blink every look and every stare
when i gaze into the mirror i see
you in the reflection of a
reflection of a reflection
that goes on into infinity
as i brush my hair
I smile
at all the possibilities

GONNA GO IN DEEP
GONNA GET LOST
GONNA LOSE MYSELF TONIGHT
I'M MOVIN ON UP, INTO THE SKY
MY MOTHER SHE BOUGHT ME A HOUSE
OVER THERE YONDER ON THE EAST SIDE
I'M MOVIN ON UP INTO THE SKY
GONNA BUILD ME A CASTLE
GONNA FIND ME A WIFE

over and over and over and over

Over and Over and over

OVER and over and
Over and over and over and over

again.
THE BULL HORN it CRIES
LIKE AN OVERLAPPING PARADIGM
that CANNOT DIE
with sleepy EYES
WE BRUSHED ON our FABRICATED lies
TOWARDS the end of the COURT ROOM
hidden in DISGUISE
the dishes LEFT in the LIVING ROOM
SEEKING TO BE satisfied
THE WORLD IS SPINNING ROUND
like SOFT MAGNETIC thighs
ALTHOUGH I CANNOT KEEP IT FROM DOING SUCH
FROM ORDINARY STARES
WAKING UP AS THE DAY BREAKS
THE LIMITS OF WHICH CAN NEVER BE COMPARED
TAKING ME softly
BY THE HAND
A GUIDE
IN THE SAND
TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY
TO GO FORTH and SEEK
FOR THE REST of YOUR LIFE
THIS WILL BE
AS YOU CHOOSE
IF THIS IS MAKING ANY SENSE
THEN YOU ARE FREE
THE WIND IT DOES NOT THINK ABOUT
THE TREES
OR WHICH DIRECTION IT WILL BLOW
and NEVER LEAVE
IN A PLACE OF SUCH
PERFECT EXISTENCE AS THIS
the sun SETS EAST
AND ITS LIGHT IS INSIDE OF ME
An idea of the past
------------------------------------
IT CAME FROM A STATUE
AND FROM A BOOK
AND FROM A PERSON
AND FROM A LOOK
IT CAME FROM BEYOND THAT
AND FROM PLACES WE NEVER TOOK
IT CAME FROM THE STRATOSPHERE
BEYOND SPACES NEVER BOUND
AND WITH THAT MY ASSURANCE IS
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FOUND

A story
Whistling lightly out of his mocking lips,
I edge into bed-- I wish i could sleep!
But sleep has turned into a frightened bird,
Difficult to catch, to hold, yet easy to kill;
Whistling he flies off, his voice full of bitter disdain,
The rustling of a wing, away in the straining wind."
This reminds me of a story my friend told me today
about a bird that flew into a window and landed in his lap
dying the bird fell to the ground and slowly stopped moving
did it merely want someone to acknowledge it's death?
I'm not sure, it's open to interpretation.
the hour is long
we're brushing dusty shoulders off
I look to the west and see nothing
but a vast expanse
the true nature of my existence
I'm coming close
to begin again at the beginning
going back to places long past visit
and the stars are calling my name tonight
I am the light which warms the moon at night
and when it fades i am the darkness
in our falling voices
when the going gets tough get going
So he'd run and he'd run for miles on end
until the daylight would stop showing
He found him a place a nice bed he could lay
and dream away his worries
until an angel came
and kissed his face
when the daylight breaks and the sun it shines
it'll wash away all those fine lines
when the moons full and bright
on a cold christmas night
you'll remember the end of the story

we burned them in the barn
it took a while to gather them all up
but once we did there was beauty in its falsity
with nothing to wear we walked around nude
in the forest
i can still smell them burning
but i think thats ok
what shall we destroy next?
the city?
I see them burning when i close my eyes
and i think i'm ok with that too
i'm ok with everything
it's just temporary
I wrote it in a letter, with a pen in red ink
i left it on your doorstep, you must not have seen it yet
I wrote you a letter, but i didn't know what i wanted to say
maybe that the idea of you is like the plague
or that you are the bane of existence
the creator of of all things good and ugly
None of it made sense, just that you were everything
even the things i hate most because i love them too
you are everything that never was and never will be
i wrote it in red ink. it said, you are everything.
after i wrote it, i took it back and wrote nothing.
i could never figure out the distance between
here there, everything and nothing
i could never find a device that could measure the gap
there is no instrument to guide me
only you would know precisely

just remembered i watched tv recently... this could be it. gotta blame something. SOCIETY.
I like that the air is green again, every year i forget how amazing spring is. GREEN EVERYWHERE. It makes me feel abundant and fresh.

so she turned to herself and said
"we've gotta go"
Where, she didn't know.
but it had already been decided
by the hands of fate
and whoever else
might be along for the ride
She looked forward to the hours
of convening with the roots sometimes
but she dare not delve too deep
as much as she loved the earth
she was bound to stay above it
for a little while longer
to wake up with the sunrise
and hear the bird call
to bathe in the moonlight
and watch the leaves fall
and return to life.

My eyes are spy's
and the crowd, they laugh so loudly
at our misfortunes
in grand operettas
because it's more entertaining that way
they sway to our song and sound
of tarnished gold and the world moving
When they come to our play
we'll have some rum beforehand
and say "All the tarnished gold in this town
cannot be held by one man alone!"
And because we know
our tears become the drool in their beaks
our pain their pleasure
and floor boards squeak
and the floor boards...
are you listening?

Voila!
Foil and aluminum
can can CAN
It's whistling.
I'm french, again.
Let's play games
hide and go seek.
Now you see me.
And now you can't.
I'd do it again.
I'd do it again.
I'd do it again.
Voila!
I'm french
and..
je t'aime
