Sounds of souls intertwined
  I'll step this way to you
Torn from my heart
  to write love new
Painting your scars
  along the sky

Raging fires run through
  your veins
Singeing my skin
with your touch

Yet,
  from this fire, there is a glow
  to warm the cold in me

And yet,
  from this star, there is a shine
  to bring a light
  to the dark in you

  Solar clouds in this depth of moonlight
  bring questions burning in me.

I stand here alone
With a head full of voices
Perfect imbalance

Misplaced pride against these pages
High above the throne of all nebulas
open to the senses
true to the stars
a longing for you

The faint smell of incense
casting shadows on my soul
chanting incantations
next to the soft glow
of solar flames
burning down
my memories

Medications running out
Now all I have is you

Burning daylight
smoking on it's embers
a thoughtful reminder of my king

Upon those lips
behind your eyes
I'm caught in a snare
short of breath
I can't help but to stare
feeling my way though the dark
a familiar path stitched on my skin
Stealing myself from this world
hiding from the pain
Upon those lips
behind your eyes
I'm caught in your lie

If someone breaks your heart just punch them in the face. seriously. Punch them in the face and go get some ice-cream

My son always surprises me...
and is way more brilliant
than I ever was... especially at that age.
Out of nowhere the other night he says
"You know we are all connected" and I say
"How do you mean?"
I can see the wheel just a turning in his pretty
little head and he says "we are related...all brothers
and sisters in this world." I agree with him and say "so
why do you think everyone fights so much?" and
without missing a beat he says "because they haven't
figured it out yet" <3
Happy Friday to you all!! :)
The temple rises
high above the humid earth.

The sun looking through the playful clouds
colors the terracotta in the golden hue
of God's emotions
long forgotten by the travellers
down on his earthly abode.

As I step through the door
Of my office - Doughnuts Galore
Mildred from behind the counter nods her head at me

I come here every day for a few
Jelly doughnuts and nasty brew
Looking for the perfect job that keeps eluding me

I again pick up the daily rag
Scouring the classified ads
Hoping to find something interesting I see

My bladder lets lose
At the greatest of news
In Black and White Bold Type face do I read

Wanted lead guitarist in
An up and coming Air Rock Band
Mildred comes and picks me up off the floor

I went and applied for the job
And with a wink and a nod
They said your exactly what we're looking for

We practice day and night
Hitting all the notes right
Till our Air Rock Band was ready for tour

The crowds we all wowed
As we brought down every house
In venues we played up and down the Eastern shore

From top forty pop
To industrial techno rock
There wasn't a song we couldn't toast

We even threw a few polkas in
Sounding sweeter than sin
Cause Brian the drummer likes polka the most

We finally hit the big time
When we went nation wide
The Greatest Air Rock Band the worlds ever known

But as fast as we went to the top
That's just as fast as we dropped
Dead air was all you heard from us on the radio
This little (gem?) popped up in my memories... Thought it'd be fun to post it again

If I thank my teacher
For colouring me like the rainbow
And for adding his glow to help me shine,
My glorious life will be meaningful!
