I dream of a weary traveler
Destined to walk a solitary road
Although many attempt to walk beside him
They often venture out and never return to his side

Such a sad story, you say
If you look much deeper you will see
That this story is not indeed sad, but simply true
Do not fear for him, nor pass judgement on his choices in his journey
This traveler, although alone, makes friends with his mind and enemies with his soul

Bubble Blaster

I’ve realized something
Infatuation is hard
Couldn’t have you which made me want you
Leaving is coming
Quickly
But you know me, love
I’d never leave you like this
You know my name,
don’t wear it out.
Or do..
I’ll come either way

Drifter

I feel so lost

lost in life
lost in translation
lost in love
lost in friends
lost in emotions
lost in sight

But then I remember that
when I took the road less traveled by
I am not simply lost,
but making a new path

If Rabbits did the Foxtrot the 2nd

When I think about that poem
I used to have a sour taste in my mouth
You have used me for good, here and there
I love being here and dear I’ll gladly take those punches
BECAUSE
Sweetheart, I’m your Superman

I don’t have to be invincible for you
Just a friend who can protect you
And I have done my job well
BECAUSE
Sweetheart, I’m your Superman

I will always be here to protect you
No matter who says what, or even the circumstances
I love you and that’s that
BECAUSE
Sweetheart, I’m your Superman

Don’t worry, you aren’t ****** if you do
Or even ****** if you don’t
Trust me I see that my job is clearer now
BECAUSE
Sweetheart, I’m your Superman

Although I am usually very able to fulfill my job
Right now, this Superman found her Kryptonite
So I hope I don’t have to beg
But if I start to fall
SWEETHEART
Will you be my Superman?

Truer Than True

My nightmares of life
are slowly coming true
I can’t really tell
if I’m losing me or you

Drifting my way through
this endless days dream
Nothing is ever
as simple as it may seem

I think of you now
more than I’ve ever before
Life has something else
lay waste for me no more

Every day seems
like an endless mistake
Yet no longer
do I ne’er dread my fate

I looked to you
for more than just advice
You were my everything
and saved this simple life

I’ll think of you often
now that the days draw near
For now hope I seek
and death no more my fear

Hypothetically

I don’t know why that makes me feel better
A cold chill across a sensual warm surface
Intimate describes the motion, thoughtless, the act
My eyes are of no use because they do not guide me
Only my hand and a swift brush of slight sickening instinct
Tense before the spontaneous and rough movements
But my god, that sweet release of ecstasy and warm, held-in breath
Fingers slide effortlessly across old friends
The new ones make for painful company, yet so soothing
Soothing to know I can still feel something
Crimson rivers mix with transparent tears
The elixir of my insatiable addiction

Starry Night the 2nd

The clouds move more like smoke
than actual clouds

I find myself thinking of past and future
but together as if they were of one soul

Brisk night air reveals Orion to me
and I think of her, but not long

I see your face in the haze of night
and your soul in those stars

You have saved me without knowing
and again I return to bed, to gaze upon my salvation,
my Starry Night
