The early bird gets the worm;
though have you ever stopped to wo
that our time might have been bett
in choosing; that wade across the
For as they say, we’re like a feat

Sitting on the side,
Waiting for the dust to settle dow
So I can see the view
We’ve built, the beauty
We’re planning.

Every night I find myself in the
The floors below the banister
Whisper words of peace to me,
That I might escape this crazines
And as many times I resist; I’m n

Snow whisps form
Across the black of the tar;
Makes the street seem like a hidde
Floating, slipping
Our vessel Ill-equipped to danger

Silence ever is nothing but
When one recounts the imprints ear
Wide bodies of outspoken past
Under bridges built and burned.
Taken to the head and heart,

A single spark is all it takes to
To ignite the flames of industry,
To cause quite a commotion.
It’s not always what’s to be seen;
Some whispers can’t be heard.

I: Like a Mirror
Like a mirror unto eternity;
Screening all the twisting ways
Of present, past, and future’s las
Deceptive halcyon days;

Empty words again today
And yet I always sit
Waiting for something to change
In how I try relating it
Thousands of words, a thousand tri

As you leave,
A black cloud enters
And everything that was good is go
Because I feel the need to watch
Beget by never having watched;

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,

Times are changing
But the story’s still the same;
Years to the day.
I make progress
With myself

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

Light fades from the bubblegum sky
Happy New Year to you and I.
Change is constant and we speak it
Promising times no one could tell.
The leaves have fallen though some

There’s something to be said here,
To describe what blooms within as

A flowing mane of to get lost in h
It’s like standing outside time; a

Familiar scents of a coming storm;
The grey and rain pass time away.
In our solace do we drown
For affectation of our moods.
I wait and blink and think

If the sun could burn away
All my smooth skin
And leave me rough again,
I’d be ok with that.
If the light that shines

Lying, sidewalk.
Face down, steady
beat, heart pumping;
numb to the feeling,
lost to ground.

Should I see the world behind you
And all the secrets put aside
In deep caverns, behind city wall
Left to memory, or whatever cause
The future holds in store for you;

I’m young again,
New again;
It makes me feel so strange.
How do I act,
Tell me, how am I supposed to act

Frozen over, warm-graced again;
That feeling of beauty
Fragile, fleeting
Like the storm
That sees me fall upon this mounta

Lords, Ladies
of good Nature’s whims;
held within the circle, a timeless
until I set myself to speak
In such a moment

There’s a bright star in the sky,
Heaven’s passageway, like what the
At least I can sit back and stare
An orange sunset that makes me ref
On the delicate life I’ve led.

Such a face to see, a villain.
Ragged, lilting;
Worn and fierce.
Eyes that glean the boundaries
step within the vapor;

The words ring true
with every spin ‘round the world;
“How I love her so”
Such Psalms the vicar spake.
Commanding chastity

Together now;
again, at last
Do you recall our halcyon years?
Love and lust,
The time spent skinless

Such thresholds that we dwell betw
laying open the relationship
of man and woman; husband, wife, m
And the consequence of love, that
that we simply have too much to gi

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

Waiting on dreams that don’t come

Now we sit here, speaking,
wistfully drinking;
Cracking the shell, cliché as it s
yet the new cocoon did form.

Such gentle curls, so slow to bloo
In every way I’ll care for you
And feed a little growth each day,
My lily by another name.
Who caught me as I ceased to look

You’re the sunshine that I wake t
And all the good towards my mornin
You’re that arrow Cupid sends to

The ladies say

What wonders they perform

Baby doll, now don’t you cry;
Let me peck your cheek and wipe yo
We’ve paid our time, a heavy price
For promises of paradise.
Hush, my beloved;

As the one they hold on to;
a lesson towards the knowing end,
no better off to be accepted;
darker waters, left to tread.
Who’s this place for, if not me?

If I were a Christian man,
I’d say God graced your wings my
