The young one tries to be a man
By proceeding through the day,
Slaying fierce monstrosities
In imaginative play.
With time’s passage, the knowledge

Lend me an ear, that no one else w
read into my fears, and speak to m
Tell me what’s right and wrong wit
The voice of reason, vessel of mig
You are my strength; my mirror, my

The trees quiver with the yawning
And I struggle by an inner plight
Where went the words I need to sa
I can feel them, but they’re locke
The insects buzz and socialize;

Growing up,
Chest held strong;
Big man on the block
Righting the wrongs
'Till another argument comes along

Because I don’t say
Because I won’t say
It’s another night back and forth
I’d rather not speak too fast
And find that we won’t last

The great western expanse
as I’ve ever known it since my you
paints vast murals of slender gree
the moving picture of choice for t
Yet such beauty comes second place

Why, oh why
Couldn’t pterodactyls have survive
I’d love to see them in the sky
Gliding on their membranous wings
Under a dinosaur-y heaven,

You’re strong;
It threw me to be letting go.
So long;
We were both kids out of the know
Along came a gift from the sea;

Half step, two step,
Steps away;
I dance towards a brand new day
Where I hold you tighter in my ar
Enthralling you with boyish charm.

Take a sip of cough syrup,
It’ll keep you right as rain.
Scratch at the notch,
Slip on a gold watch;
You won’t need to feel again.

Morning:
Dance upon me,
graceful as I am in solidarity;
alone, tall sentry.
I see the people come out

This flower of mine, I’ve watched
As I drew ever more attracted so;
It’s got its thorns, and it can fi
But its beauty is an unmatched sig
A pride and joy, though I had no

A man alone, save silver law
Pockmarked by all the things he sa
Lingering ghosts in dead set eyes,
Never a tear, these men don’t cry.
Quiet here, out on the trail,

On the last days of summer
We try our best to fall
In love, in step, from consequence
To savor the memory of it all.
As the leaves begin to brown,

Dogs and frogs and witches all;
How many times can one man fall?
Cut the rose and watch it bleed,
Give me only what you need.
Caught up in my own facade

Bar smoke and cigarette
Take form and whisper dreams;
Echoes of faded memories
Stitched by nostalgia’s golden sea
Dancers tap in wooden floors

If I were a Christian man,
I’d say God graced your wings my
If it’s all a part of greater plan
I couldn’t have written a better p
And I don’t know if there’s a bon

Happy busy people,
But are any of us free
Our work buffers us, false ignoran
Mind’s eye blind, we don’t want to
Moving up;

Hello love; my glorious joy; how d
I listened to the music today, you
Throw away these rhymes for a mome
And tell you what I feel.
See? It’s already starting.

Dear ;

Tools to each other’s problems,
We’re just supposed to know
What to live with and how to solve
Lighten each other’s loads.
Goodbye; I’m coming home.

A good day for writing poetry;
Better to make the dreams seem rea
As luck and life might seem to giv
A means to conquer the things I f
Love and chance to change circumst

Push the engines forward,
engaging full thrust.
The eagle long since landed;
what frontier could be left for us
If your goal’s to take the pain

It is said to be beyond comprehens
Such notions shield us from the tr
What twisted morals let us fight t
That thousands may die by waking d
To linger in bloody stalemate

I tried to climb on mountain high
But a wall got in the way
No way around, and so a trip back
Cost me another day
I tried my way back up again

“You are my sunshine” is so cliche
But fully appropriate anyway
To describe how, when I’m feeling
Your smile shines upon my day
It’s like a spell, how you erase

When you look at me, what do you s
A best friend, a boyfriend, welcom
I see an angel when I look at you
I just wondered if you thought tha
I don’t want to be here

Come sit with us", she said.
Now we sit here, speaking,
wistfully drinking;
Cracking the shell, cliché as it s
yet the new cocoon did form.

Oh Sweet rain, take me away
To the world of dreams, perchance
Among the fields of merigold,
grown up from memories of old
A place where I can truly be

The stars are out in full tonight,
Their bright eyes looking down on
As we play our nervous games
What do you think they see?
Maybe they gain some wisdom

Met with daybreak, I came to scre
Towards the pollution fogging up m
Ichor splashing through my head;
Noir painted black and red.
What could be held responsible

You set my heart a-flutter,
a baby bird struggling for sky;
and in that moment, every year we’
reflected our faces in each others
A decision to be made;

This cage, a feather, comforts me;
upon a talon, let me lean
by the shallows in which I’ve drop
my body nestled in dark wings.
My spirit searches for the Throne

I’ve got a phone and it buzzes
And there’s always something to be
I hold your spot in the line
Because I really truly do care.
I put gas into my car and it sees

The ship is slowly sinking
all the way down, my crew abandoni
Turncoat hallowed words, fear-turn
they plead in maddened sense of ur
I can’t shake this feeling

A warming pervasion
In the night and your head
Sends you slipping through the hal
And leads you back to the bed.
Your garden in twilight;
