You engraved
Only something ordinary
On my skin
My bare feet
I see a symbol in the rocks
I walk on

Every pain
Every step that makes me bleed
Written in chalk
I chalk it up to talc

Your a stain
A mar upon my living skin
My great scar
You a fire
From volcanoes long ago
My lava

Every fire
My lover burns deep into me
Written in ash
Becomes forever

As the flame and as the smoke
As the air

And as the earth

Yo quiero conocerte
Que te conozco más
Que la playa conoce el mar
Yo quiero tocarte
Tocarte piel blanda
Tu pelo suave

Yo quiero amarte
Pero, quiero más
Que me quieres

Y no hay nada más importante  a mí
Ní otra cosa que creo

How am I meant to be alive
In a world that's dying?
Even the colors of the clouds are a darker tinge of gray
And my soul only sees the end
How am I meant to be alive?
I see cataclysm and devastation
A world of art falling into the depths of disbelief
And my eyes that see the end
See you

The joy of a morning

Your beauty is all the proof I need to believe in god
The way you reach me as only angels can
And even if I die time and time again
Every time I see your mind
I live again

Even stronger than before

Why do I die so much?
Its distorted constellations
Dissonant sounds
The joke was always funny
But I forgot to laugh
I never had to learn how to die
I just did everything for you

My favorite song is a sad one

Why do I die so much?
Its my joy diluted
My eyes dialated
I watch poison course my veins
But I couldn't feel high
I want to live forever
But I keep giving my life for you

My favorite song is a sad one

I'm worried about my heart
From the pre-cambrian period
To the advent of modern medicine
My heart beat with feeling in the mesoderm

Put your fire
With my fire
And we'll burn brighter
Burn brighter

And I feel my heart is weak
Maybe it stops when the beat drops
And I'll be dead on a stage
While the band still plays

To see

It's been a long road
Through heather and pine
And storm clouds fall as rain
Creating mighty rivers
I build a bridge
So you can see
A bridge that begins where we were
and ends in your soul

And I finally see those eyes start to open
On the harshness of reality
The starkness of outdated modes
Those eyes so beautiful
And I know those eyes are opening
To see
Starting to believe
That there is beauty in this world

It's been a long war
And the brunt of ****** battles
That would take their  toll on me
Until I'm becoming weak
I plant a tree
A shimmering magnolia
In the calm at the center of the storm
These roots have taken hold

And I finally see these eyes start to open
On the light I had to fight to keep
And times when I felt hopeless
These eyes couldn't see my disease
But I know those eyes are opening
To see
If I felt pain
It's not still a part of me

It's been a long doubt
But the smiles never left me
And the language of the laughter
Cutting through the barrier
I understand
It's all that I can do
Release my primal desires
And show my love is true

And I finally see these eyes start to open
Onto a truth that's greater
Something always known
These eyes have seen the change
And I feel these eyes are opening
And looking upon me
Me, with strength and weakness
Liking what they see

The stars scream your name in my eyes




Coming to me as constellations
A light in darkness I never knew
The night sky is empty without them
And my life is empty without you

I love the stars as a part of forever
Something greater than the life I know
The hungry night that eats all light
But still I can watch them glow

And when I don't want to hear
The stars scream your name in my eyes
So that all that I feel is confirmed
By points of light painting the skies

The stars whisper as daylight sets in
They speak your name on my tongue
And even on full moon nights
Its a new day that has begun

The stars scream your name in my eyes
And shine deeply into my soul
A more beautiful sight was never seen
There is nothing more I need to know

The stars......
Your name

Psyche
You did not marry a monster
What kind of soul shows such kindness
Such understanding
Such love
Psyche
You would listen to your sisters
Who had grown green with envy
And red with jealousy
And black with deceit

Psyche
Your lover
Is none other
That that most beautiful of the gods
He that men call Eros

Psyche
Why would you have to prove?
With your knife and lantern in hand
Not knowing what you had
Or what you would lose
Psyche
These test you have to pass
Merely ways to prove your faith
You always had
Your guilded fate

Drink deep the sweet nectar of ambrosia
And live forever

Psyche
Your lover
Is none other
That that most beautiful of the gods
He that men call Eros

I cannot care for you
Dragonfly
If you can't care for yourself
Broken cloud
And all the love I gave
Silent tomb
Becomes wasted
Little one

I think
it is best
that I
lay this ghost
to rest

If I
Am truly
Meant to
Be haunted
Posessed

Her spirit knows where I am
I'll reach no more
Unless she's reaching
I'm not waiting
I'm ready

My hope
Is a stained glass window
Shattered
And on the floor
A thousand sharpened pieces
I can't pick up
For fear of bleeding
My bitter hands

I stare at the sky
With my black eyes
I see buzzards and crows
A storm that only rages

My hope
Is a dream I have
While I sleep
On beds of razor wire
A thousand sharpened knives
Jaws of hell
Closing in on my
Unforgiven heart

I open the door
With my broken hand
My busted knuckles
My emptiness

I turn the lights down low

I worried about a heart
I see a flower blooming
Finally reaching light
The most beautiful light
I'm worried about a mind
Something I never thought I'd find
Gentle and kind
And consumed by passion
I'm worried about a soul
As a flower slow unfolding
The most beautiful sight
I hope she'll be alright

We live in a day
Where genius is meant to go unnoticed
After all

Thinking hurts our heads
And commitment to undertstand
Is just time not available for video games

And there isn't any genius left actually
Even the smartest among us
Merely memorize to regurgitate

There is no more genius
And you may ask why
And my reply

There is a war on original thought
And genius
Thinks outside the box

I can't be
Everything you need me to be
But I can try
I can't give you
Everything you need from me
But I'll give all I can

A machine that used the natural magnetic field of the earth
To create unlimited energy

Well Rockefeller said
"My peasants shall have nothing for free"

Its nice to say
To write and be read
To speak and be heard
Its nice-so nice
The clouds are nice
Shapeless changing shades of wispy warping away
And you can see in them
A face
An animal
Something that can't be held
So many clouds
To cover out the sun
The sun is dying
Spending all internal energy
To shine any sort of light into your life
Its nice-that no one notices
Because lightbulbs have a switch
And the sun is going to set
Many times
And it takes me with it
Its nice-so nice
That while the sun dies to bring you light
You'd rather stare into the clouds

You are a dream to me
My skin at times I feel so weak
Like any rubied barb from natures many wildly growing plants
Could cut me deep
Then I bleed
My heart
Still trapped inside my chest
My heartbeat loses its rhythm
Like every wasted palpitation could never make you dance
A heart attack
Then I die
My love
My love saves me now from darkness
Like any destructive demon has angels fighting against
These unseen hands
Guide me home
To you

To you the skin I give
What you've become to me alone
Like a reason to feel pleasure in a world completely numb
Sweet joyous dream
Hopeful home
My peace

All the soil has been turned over because we are waiting on a harvest of potatoes and corn, and even the clouds in the sky become ominous signs promising warnings of rain

All the soil had been turned over by our backbreaking soul shattering work because we know without our effort we will surely starve and be empty souls

All the soil has been turned over because we know that spring is coming soon and the new seeds that we plant will surely become our sustenance

All the soil has been turned over in hopes of the future

Still I can't forget the past when the harvest moon brought a promise of enough food to last me the rest of my life when I could dine forever on dishes that never get old

I love you more than suns
Infintismal morning and spectacular night
My constellation shines bright onto your dusky life
When the light is fading low
I love the stars
I love you more than stars
And how the stars became your skin
Your prophetic vision of doom
My gift of a life ever after
I love your heaven
I love you more than heaven
Because an angel's song sounds sweeter on your lips
And harps and trumpets sit in the clouds you hold
Your music is perfection to my ears
I love your sound
I love you more than sound
Sound becoming symphony to cascade the unfeeling mass
And bring the rhythm of rapids as your heart beat
Your heart beats in my chest
I love you
More than sight or touch
I love you as a dream
I love the stars
I love you more

I close                                                    My
eyes
And in blind                                        Faith
Take another step

Right off a cliff

And as I'm falling
The crow                                             Is
                     calling
The way that I was hoping
Would only leave me                       Broken

Water be calm
Water be still
Water be beautiful
Let it be my greatest example
Tranquility in a world of chaos
A reflecting pool
Where by day
The colors of the world are seen
In a much more beautiful way
And by night
Its shining constellations

Water be wicked
Water be wild
Water be raging rapids
My greatest example of passion
A hundred foot plunge in the mountains
My waterfall
When by day
The water reflects the light
And I see rainbows
And by night
The sound I can see is my meditation

And from the start
       With a smile
You played the part
       Of a rifle
Aiming for my heart
How many bullets I don't understand
And in the end
       With a silence
A dagger sent
         To violence
Aiming for my skin
How many times again must I bleed

Before I believe
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings all it ever was

A rifle in incapable hands
And a grave with no tombstone
For the innocent

You think someone had to find you
Wrapped tight in your fear and worry
You were waiting on someone to find you
When you found me
I wasn't looking
Only at ends and oblivion
But you came out from your pain
When you found me
And all the love you gave me
Was the only thing to save me
You feel like someone had to find you
When you found me

I'll be forever grateful
And I know you will be too
Because when you found me
I found you

I woke up to all the symbols losing meaning
The changing lights are changed
The moon can hang low enough to reach
What can be seen
Only when we close our eyes

I have to live
Even if the lines are changing
And the scene is not the same it used to be
I have to love
I give my blood without bleeding

Take in time
A particle
A memory
The way the waves
The way the sun

I woke up to a different dream
Where the kiss of heaven brought me blue
And my life spent staring at the stars
Was all in vain
When I was only becoming

I have to live
Find god through self discovery
As the stars that hang bright over me
Hang somberly
In a different place in the sky

If the world is changing
So can I

It was only my memory as the open sky
Birds may land but leave subtle trace
Etched in the confines of my mind
In and out and over again
From when my eyes transformed to mercury
And my thoughts streaming ghost of white
Inpalbable as the wind we know is frozen
Walls and roads and all machinations of the hand
No man could draw a portrait of her
No math would that explain
Only coastlines of an empty land
And a sunrise

I love you as only ancient civilizations do
Mayan calanders that read the stars to predict the future
Knew about you
And me
How our minds collide on a supersonic level
And how each step through fire
How each pain that each nerve in each fiber of skin in each of us
Feels
Feels each other as something bigger than the life we know
As large as an expanding universe
Where you reach every end of me
I love you as tides love the moon
And each gravitational pull makes me spill water that is my soul
On the beach that is your mind
I love you as the morning loves the song of the sparrow
Incomplete without the melodic tones of your soul
Only me alone
Unless of course
You are there
My music is dancing alone unless you hear it
I love you as flowers love the sun
And always reach
I love you as the air loves the wings
That fly through it
I love you as the clouds love the rain
And fall down upon your skin
I love you as a child loves dreams
And you are my childish hope for tomorrow
I love you
That is all
I love you

I place nothing above you
Songbirds sing sweetly in my ears
But you fly higher
Clouds grow and form shapes
But the form that shapes in my mind is your face
The moon is out of reach
But you are a light that shines brighter in my night
The sun can rise and set over me a million times
And the stars beyond
I place nothing above you
Because I love you

I place nothing above you
Not hope or joy or love or life
I would eat your pain
Let your cancer spread through me
And destroy me completely
Let your sorrow become tears I must shed
Let your darkness swallow me whole
I take a misstep and lose my way a thousand times
But I'm found again if you find me
I place nothing above you
Because I love you

Dissipated dissolution
March of many colors
Turn it down to you
To blue
I hate to watch you walk away
To black
As though that's all that I can do

Demurred
Devolution
The cranes swing wide
The tillers in the field
Cut down the stocks
Separate all wheat
From chaff

Month of many colors
Red for all the blood I bleed
My fingers reaching still
And white
And how my eyes just open
And blue
Form the iris growing slowly

Dissonant
Delicate
The color is only empty
As far as I can see
All revolution
And the falling of the sun
The night

I know what I say
Resonates
It bounces around the coffers of your mind
And confers a great peace upon your soul
I know what I say
You hear it
I just want to say something beautiful
I'll just say I don't want to let you down

Simple in the complicated
Reverberates
And dances as an image in your heart
Living in your veins a light in darkness
I know what I say
You hear it
I only want to say something beautiful
I'll just say that I love you

More today than I knew I could yesterday
More tomorrow than I can even imagine
You hear it
And that means everything
You feel it
And that means even more

All the signs are red
Sign of the ram
As I see a noose hanging over my head
Sign of the ******
I can fall into
Announcing my intentions
I'm only here
Until I'm nothing anymore
All the signs point too
Stars amount to blood
And I know a knife and my verdant flesh
Time that I bleed
I can sink until
My head is far beneath
I only breath
If I can find the air

A hard sun gonna rise
Beating me black in the eyes
Too much light will only show
My scars
A hard rain gonna fall
For once and once for all
Put me to the ground
My love

And with her last step
She walks to me
My suicide
I feel like I'm alive

A hard night bringin stars
a misforgotten dark
A sleep a couple hours
A dream
A hard sun gonna turn
Burn away my broken skin
Make me all the dust
The always been

And in the sunset
I'm waiting there
An empty death
And life forever

Voice in the sky
God forgive me
Stars in the sky
God forgive me

Calling my name
For the times when I was wrong
Guide my way home
Hands from the sky rip me open

Choices I've made
God have mercy
A place I belong
God have mercy

Prices I've paid
For the times I have sinned
I've been lost for far too long
Suffer begin

Hands from the sky
Stars in my eyes
Rip me open
Scars on my skin
Suffer begin
Suffer begin
Unfriendly end
Heaven let me in

Let me talk you off that edge
I can see your standing on
Your standing calm
But remember life is beautiful

Don't cut your wrist
Don't look for no tomorrow
Don't feel hate
Don't feel sorrow

And I've been there before
I know you won't hear
Unless I'm compelling
Please hear what it is I'm telling you

I have blood in my veins
Boiling times a Scorpio
My birthday was yesterday
Really was it happy?

But still I'm holding on
Can I be strong? And make the change,
I'm waiting on
I can't if I don't believe it

Well I believe
I believe
I believe in a bright tomorrow
I hope that you do to

Lonely raging storm
Born inside war
Eating suns
The poets cry
Meaningless
The crow dies

The greatest men will become trees
With roots eternal
Heaven provide shelter for me
The silver smiling woman

Sad knows soon
High skies breathe
Endless flame
This crooked origami
Shorelines perfection
This red flower

The greatest men not comfort stained
Of pure intention
Lead my noble crusade
With your beautiful silence

A black and white rainbow
Pixelated and distorted
Sent as zipped up information
Stored as a file in my memory
These Terra bytes are more than mega
Unpacked and shining bright
My eyes and digital image
Signals on a screen
There is no beauty in technology
Only cold charts and data
Just index of double helix
Just codes and firewalls
Just system analytics
Just fiber optic cables

Somehow through endless fields of source
Through endless pattern repeated
I found an oracle of infrastructure
The platform where she stands

Its a taste
Foreign to my tongue
I see clouds you don't
You feel rain
And I fight wars
As I fight against
Still your skin is the land
And your eyes are oceans
I don't want to stand
I don't want to swim
The pendulous nature that my hands know
I can only stare
My fingers
The way I feel
Its something impossible
So go away
And maybe I can heal
Don't go away
I need you dearly
The only seed I sow
That has to grow
The happy end
Its not a name
It is the dirt
Bury me now
I love you
I love you
I will die
If that makes you happy

I love you
I just wish I knew how to show it

I looked to her to be an empty city
empty houses empty roads
ghost haunt the royal palace
in the garden no flowers grow
I looked to her to be
I looked to her and saw an angel
a radiant creature come to me
who blessed the fields and rivers
In my heart a revery
I looked to her and saw

my only best chance to make right now last forever
and I don't
no, I won't have to worry any more
I'll be with her
she with me
I won't have to worry anymore

I looked to her to be awakened
eyes reaching deeper shades
both the stars they held
universes in my head
I looked to her to be
I looked to her and saw it all
and took it and cherished it
held it close to my heart
learned it and loved it
I look to her and saw

no, i won't have to worry anymore

Como se van
Las planetas in espacio
Profundo
Oscuro
Con alas de angeles
Volando
Con todo la fuerza que tienen
Todo, hasta no hay más
Como se van
En el magnitud de la gravedad
Del Sol

El mismo Sol que da la luz
Da la vida

Las planetas comprendan

The first sentence catches your attention
By bold relevance
Still abstract enough
To make you want more
Then this sentence keeps you
By extrapolating on what was said before
The next sentence
A metaphor
Drawing parallels to the natural world
And end the stanza
With a line to draw it all together

Moving on to the bridge
Be musical
Play with the words
Be lyrical
Make a bigger point
By increasing the feeling
Im giving
And you are receiving

By now you are hooked

So it is time
For imagery
For color with meaning
For energy with feeling
And I can say what I want
How it needs to be said

And my truth will be accepted

Maybe everything around me is a metaphor
As the old me is dying
Shots ring out ten thousand miles away
Chaos and confusion in my own heart
And in the capital

And the really scary thing
Is not how big it is
But how little it takes
To turn a world upside down

Maybe it is something I can't understand
How my pain can feel so large
While there are woman and children weeping
Pain and suffering in my own heart
And in the capital

Still the strangest thing to me
Is how I can be so selfish
When my own heart still is beating
But there are one hundred people dead
In the capital

And the really scary thing
Is not how great the pain is
But how little it takes
To cause it

A hand lifts you up
Whenever the darkness growing becomes a pool you drown in
Even in your pain and fear
You feel angelic hands
Touching the very deepest part of you
A hand of fated love
To give you hope

In the sorrow of your sobbing
You can still hear a beautiful song
Keeping you alive


A hand you hold in the morning
After its laid sweet dreams over your nightmares
Pushing forward
Healing heartache
Caressing your satin skin with delicate fingers
Putting the stars in your eyes
You live again and again and want to live some more
Just to feel this love

Your mind at peace
An angels heart beat
Pumping blood through your veins
Fortitude
You laugh at the pain
And await your next dream
About dancing naked in the rain

*In the sorrow of your night
You can still see these angels hands
Holding the morning

When everything you touch
Turns to gold
It can become something you fear
Because you can't appreciate the good
Without the bad
Thank god in all his many forms

And I want gold
The same as old king midas
But I don't want gold
If it causes me pain

I was born in Dallas Texas
I grew up in Charlotte North Carolina
Seven million people
Not one pornstar
I wonder what that means

No

I wonder what that means to me

Full

So many drown in depth
So few
Can see depth with feeling
I am an ocean
Could you be a shark?
Breathing underwater
Always moving forward
Ready to eat my words alive

So many burn in the fire
So few
Can ever control
I am a flame
Running wild
Untamed by hands of man
Turning all to ashes
Especially the willing cinder

I burn for you
I throw my spirit onto paper
My spirit
I only hope you can overcome

                       ---OCEAN AIR SUBDUE---

Your eyes are my demise              
My death is your ocean floor
Your seas are angry currents
Painful waves thrashing into rocks
And crushing my very soul

I would drown in the water
I would bleed in the slaughter
Take away all that ever matters
I can burn in the fire
Watch the stars that expire

Still I

I would blow in the wind
I would know of the end
And give away all that ever mattered
I can relish the hurt
My bones in the dirt

Still

I'll be a man
Not alive
No hands
No eyes
I would see though the miles
I would reach through the darkness
To find the only thing that matters

Still
Its

I'll know your face

We are taught what to believe as children,
So maybe that's why,
People defend their religion,
With the same fervor they defend their economic system.

Should I fall of the path
Should the darkness gather
And encompass my life
And the demons voice speaks loudest
Should I lose my faith
Should I become something else
With a spirit full of doubt
You will return me to the light

Let an angel guide me
The power of love, a beacon
And a hand to hold when I need someone
Let an angel guide me

Should I forget what's right
A fall into pain
And there's no light in sight
And the demons voice speaks loudest
Should I lose the faith
Lose control
And become something else
You will return me to the light

Let an angel guide me
The power of love, a beacon
And someone to hold when I'm so alone
Let the angel guide me

When all my words become the rain to fall into your life
I will be happy
Only hands and feet to hold and walk this sunny day
Happy as can be
But somewhere the moon is always rising
And darkness is always falling
My words are useless stars in the night
Hidden by clouds
I've never seen a rainbow in the dark
I've never lived in your city
When all my hopes become the strength that we were searching for
I will be happy
Only dreams and waking up to someplace I belong
Happy as can be
Happy
As can be
