Sometimes I just want to put you on a shelf
so I can hate you from a distance,
with your idle persistence
always demanding someone feel sorry,
for the life you chose to live.
People keep on giving you
all the things you ask them too,
but all I ever see you do
is cry,
cry, cry,
and beg for more.
Generosity isn't good enough
people try to help you up,
and you bite the hand that feeds you
arguing against the truth,
while you look for another hand out.
Co dependent
backbiting
arguing
dismissing
self hating
Masochist
Ahh loneliness, how I wish you were not such a familiar feeling
Leaving me,
breathless,
restless,
the sea,
not so tranquil without the waves
the sky,
not so bright without the sun
the heart,
not so joyous without its love
What of this thing then, this, loneliness?
the absence of bliss without a kiss
and goodbye fading into the night
waiting by the phone hoping for that voic

Visions through a broken window
So this is only the beginning,
and yet I feel so close to the end.
If we are to exist within the humanist, collective, conformist view then I am what I have always been,
but if we are to see past the blind belief that we are what the world tells us we are to be,
then I am the captain of this my life and that would leave me no alternative but to steer this vessel to my desired destination.
Its only a few more miles now,
she's right over that next hill,
but that hill is really a mountain to far distant to know its true height,
the sky only a flimsy covering hiding the true glory of a god whose waiting for us to look beyond the mundane,
In the springtime you will call to me;
You will call to me with whispering's
and sighs
of murmurings of breaths
and longings of heartbeats,
Yes, In the springtime you will call to me but I will not come.
In the summertime you will call to me;
you will call to me with joys
and sorrows
of laughter's of breaths
and dancing's of heartbeats
Yes, In the summertime you will call to me but I will not come.
In the autumn time you will call to me;
you will call to me with heartaches
and disappointments
of remembrance's of breaths
and fears of heartbeats
Yes, in the autumn time you will call to me but I will not come.

Its not over till its over
over there,
Everybody listens
but nobody cares
breaking down the walls
and people stop and stare
reaching for the stars
but they're not really there
let the angels sing
a lullaby to my soul
the universe is yours
sinking in this black hole
grasping at straws
hoping for another day
awake in this dream
you created to satiate the craving
Porcelain dolls playing house
without a door
the cracks in the floor creeping
keeping us apart
standing still the world turns on its own
holding the torch high for that lover

I want to write a poem.
a sonnet telling of all mankind's sorrows and triumphs
a story spoken in the heart of every child
a whisper heard in the ear of every lover
I want to cradle it like a newborn in the arms of a mother
and feed it from the smile of joy on the lips of every person who reads it.
I want to sing a song.
a ballad played to the rhythm of the cosmos
a heartbeat stretched out for eternity
a ripple playing across the lake of time
I want to nurture it like a heart that's been touched by the one divine
and watch it grow in the soul of every person who sings it.
I want to write a poem that is a song.
a sonnet telling of all mankind's
I am unworthy o lord of lies.
indeed I am unworthy
of your disguise
of your shame
and of your guilt,
I am unworthy
of the assumptions
your servants make of me
indeed o fallen one
I am unworthy,
equally so my brother
who stands beside me
and my father
who resides within me,
these angels which
walk with me
are no less worthy then me,
and yet shall we not all stand before the throne
and that day in that great hall
we shall surely see
that we are indeed unworthy of thee,
and my father also
who's ears you disgrace
with treachery
speaking ill of the children
of he that made them and me,
the eyes of the blind shall be open

The Church of Mans Vanity
The church stood tall and stately
a mighty cathedral built to house the glory of god
and I stood outside its doors waiting for services to begin.
The parishioners filed by making their way up the steps
and I noticed on the bottom step an old man
homeless and filthy wearing only rags
and I heard one of the people whisper to another
of how deplorable he was and how they despised his presence there
and thus was gods will placed upon me
so I approached the man
and bid him come with me
leading him to the alter I knelt with him
and asked of a child nearby to find me a pail of water and a towel
the parish stood in astonishment
and the pastor approa
The red car drives forward into the coming fog,
Like foreboding it rolls across the edges of the senses,
see the red car?
The red tail lights flicker reflected breaking against the coma white,
Night in contrast not so bleak but dim with mist.
The boy comes to the edge of the road,
see the boy?
His attention not on the flickering Red but on the barking sound,
"Charlie" he cries walking across that little white line.
The tires squeal out protest,
Hear the sound of agony?
Rushing sirens flailing in fury,
Red reflected flashing lights in fog,
and whispers, whispers, whispers,
Wings of angelic becoming enfolding youth to soon departed,

Azure moon rise
in disguise the intent is self apparent
dancing beneath the stars
for the sake of loves rising glory
the love songs seem endless
Troubled times seem weary
of consolation passing on
with fateful kisses in secret places
and heartbeats
discretely the aura glows
in little earthquakes aftershocks
whispers of commitments
foreshadowing tomorrows coming bliss
symphonies of memories
in peaceful repose
in those final days
bring us to the gates of heaven.
