an aleatoric world

someone like you

2010-07-22T11:38:00.001-04:00

saw the sunrise

in your eyes

your love came

by surprise

never knew i'd meet a girl

like you

who'd come to me

just like you do

so cautious yet caring

dared to meet me while staring

at the beautiful view

i see in you

a beautiful girl

with love pure as a pearl

you are the one

who made my life new

from the dark gloomy skies

into the sunrise

gold horizons disguised

in someone like you

ashes

2010-01-03T02:08:00.003-05:00

the ashes slowly drag along
lifeless like the dying leaves
freezing on my winter lawn

and i cant help but sing a song
to help me when the sun is gone
something in the day went wrong
and now i know
i dont belong

i just watch
and life goes on
going nowhere
see no dawn

no birds outside
no morning chirp
to wake me up
my soul is gone

it went away into the night
followed ashes
dragged along
a cold and empty winter sidewalk

i just watch
and life goes on

because you didnt kiss me

2009-12-19T00:15:00.003-05:00

i walk away
my head in shame
because you didnt kiss me

lonely i am
because it so seems
you never even missed me

so i continue walking on
head in shame
until im gone
empty like a long sidewalk
that nobody ever walks along

or me.
Because you didnt kiss me.

broken telephones

2009-12-05T16:24:00.003-05:00

cut the broken telephones
they never ring, there's no one home
here i lie, im all alone
listening for a single tone

bury me in dirty sheets
no world to see
my life complete
there's no one home, there's no one home
dead voices in my head repeat

shut the swaying
drooping curtains
no light outside
and that's for certain
paint ceilings dripping blood tonight
tomorrow again
until they dry

close my eyes, can't feel the sky
there's no one home, i wonder why
cut the broken telephones
they never ring
or say goodbye
cut the broken telephones
no one calls
til someone dies

Summer Garden

2009-08-20T00:41:00.005-04:00

good friends come
and good friends go
like good summers gone past
we're all flowers that grow

in a garden and
blooming with joy
growing
with the people we know
and who we've gotten to know
just summers ago

and when it comes to pass
just like all the last
we can all look back on flowers
rising graciously
above the green grass

and when the skies had turned to blue
and the garden had not a drop of rain
a flower could always depend on the garden
to stop a flower's pain

and the flower began to flourish
while the garden was kind to nourish
and love and teach and have the patience to wait
while a young flower was realizing fate

as the wind blows the blossom away
and the flower finds the way to the gate
maybe their paths will cross again
another day
in the garden of a Church
where we all used to play

on idling

2009-02-01T22:37:00.001-05:00

i like to spend my days
idle
thinking nothing but thoughts
that will help me become less idle,
that will help me move forward
in the aisle of life

yet i cannot proceed;
my mind is stuck on an island
where if you bleed,
you bleed
and you're stranded,
standing there in the sand
all alone and
there's nothing but watchmen on the boats
lying down on a supposedly supportive
ocean bed

i stretch my spiritless hand out
but they're all laying there
lifeless on an ocean bed
i often wonder if they know they're dead
but as long as the boat keeps moving
at least they're getting ahead

love

2009-02-01T04:08:00.001-05:00

i love the sound of
silence, except when it's not
coupled by your voice

Beauty

2008-10-05T15:56:00.002-04:00

I told her she was beautiful
and when she asked me Why?
I left her in silence
Because the answer was hers to find

She told me I was wrong
Yet all along we were together
I could see it in her eyes:
She had the beauty
Deeply hidden in disguise

solitude

2008-09-28T12:57:00.000-04:00

I sat alone at the ocean
pondering thoughts from heaven,
receiving numinous emotions.
I saw each boat
flow up and down,
left and right,
a slave to the water's commotion;
all of this I took down on note.

I touched the sand and licked the sky
content with the fact that one day
every sailor must die;
I saw through black,
bleak and terrifying clouds
until I could picture
a place where sailors fly.

I longed to know of heaven
so I swam into the dark,
the bleak,
the depressing deathbed ocean,
following numinous emotions
until I died.

Watchtower

2008-09-16T23:17:00.001-04:00

I am nothing but
A watchtower, shedding light
On those who seek it.

Crystal World

2007-09-24T10:26:00.000-04:00

this crystal world
is a binary world;
first we live
in the peaks of the snow white sky,
and then we're drowning
under frozen stagnant waves.

our bodies thin while we
whirl in the sky
blissfully,
and then our bliss is
broken, and our
stone bodies
stagger and fall
to the bottom of the ocean,

and there we sleep,
at last.

the ice in the morning
wakes us up,

and we begin
to float again.

Psychosis

2007-09-24T10:23:00.000-04:00

Let's step into an
abstract world,
where everything's an
illusion constructed by
imagination.

A world where the apathetic sky
is an ocean, and the clouds
are imbricating waves;
where trees are
decaying human bodies,
now skeletal slaves.

And everybody's just a
robot buzzing around us
with gossip, and everybody stares at us
like we're demented and delusional
psychotics.

Let's walk around with an unbalanced gait
stumbling,
struggling,
struck with ataxia,
paranoid and cautious,
hoping nobody notices.

Let's explore this mysterious, unknown territory,
and let's make memories
we'll never remember.
