Hearing sound if now out of bounds
she turns around, the film is down

A shadow at play
in her dreams to stay

out of bounds she lays
hearing sound

In a passing glance
I found myself in the wind
waking up as I was blown down

In a twirling dance
I lost myself in the sea

Nothing more, the breeze
of the ocean floor

carry me

Under the blue, swaying with you
Breathing the tides
Laugh when we cry
Jordan Stanley Mar 2019
Someday it will all end
all you've made real, all you pretend
in a box it will all end
for the mother the man
and the friends

just a box inside your head
it's the reason that you're dead

Jordan?
He’s simple, misunderstood. He’s simply misunderstood.  Pouring language over his feelings, he’s commonly alone.  Not much will sway him, but Jordan searches for what will.

I
asked a bear in the
woods for a joke

he pointed to the man in
the house and I laughed

then I went to speak
with the man
he knows my name
he doesn't know who I am

“Look at me”,
you could have it all
you could have it all
he told me
I could have it all

but I already have it all
he was standing so tall
but he was feeling so small
so he threw me away

Her
She's bleeding
She's crying
the winds carry her screams
swelling the ocean and opening dreams

Currents of whispers, low to the ground
and those below only now hear her sound

Curious corpses
the deaf walking dead
dance with us now
unlock doors in your head

Change is of becoming
The sun is on my tongue
Jordan Stanley Mar 2019
Early morning sun
day has just begun
and you're in a foot race

The wind was howling in my head
but she still lays here in my bed
the opening door
the light on her face

My guitar ate me yesterday
and spit me up in my hide-away
just to see what I’d say

when no one’s around

Bodies dragging through the streets
I wonder if they'll ever see
what’s staring
right at you

A lashing of letters
when the speaking is neat
****** black knees
you feed the streets
you are meat
