Wondering Truth

Wondering; do you suppose, That if my two eyes were to close, I could create and breathe prose, That you could feel from your nose, Down through your feet and ten toes? Because as I ponder the question, The one who's answer no one knows, I feel a burning, battling infection, That makes me bleed the... Sign in to see full entry.

Yeah, Gone.

Yeah, I've got a lot of ends to tie, Left them all undone; don't know why, I've got it all out and none of it in, Tell a story. Where to begin? I could stumble and start, I could crumble apart, Or I could keep my silence, Tone down my inner violence, And stop to think before I pay the price, But I... Sign in to see full entry.

Never Found the Rhythm.

Its a dark room in which I sit, In the distance a horse rejects his bit. But me, no I still clench my teeth, And taste the blood and nerves beneath, Pupils attempt to stretch and see the crisis, But are restrained by a brown iris. My head is a head, But its not my own, My feet walk with a beat,... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm a hypocrite, A derelict... A mediocre Star! I'm the best around, When assembled with The worst... I'm the biggest fish in town, When I'm the only one there. I'll tell you about it, About my greatness, You'll believe me too, As I manipulate your Expectations, But the implications Are oh, so... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm This

I'm about to be a failure, I'd bend my knees... If I believed in prayer. But I'm just a lonely Soothsayer- Life's a double edged sword, With sharp point's a word, With lines for where the Blood drips- Exposed to the slope Where it all just slips, And you wonder... How did it come to This? Sign in to see full entry.

I see Clever

I see all these people, And I shake as the earth quakes, Broken, veiled women, Its a black wake. Yeah I see the humanity, Its all a catastrophe, Simmers a masterpiece, Never knows peace. We sit on the edge of destruction, Teeter-tot-tot, rumble! Fire and eruption, Cookie crum-crumble! Under this... Sign in to see full entry.

Click-Clack Beautiful

Click-clack; A creak! And it speaks! It pries open, The hinge knows no oil, My ribcage swings revealing, My cosmic, cantankerous soul. It flows out, A spirit dressed in smoke, With blue and yellow puffs, And strands of the fabric, Of my soul a traveller. It weaves and bobs, Up and down, wears no... Sign in to see full entry.

Feb. 2, 2006

It's hard to describe, How hard I cried, Tears so heavy, Each contained a piece of my eye. It's hard to describe, What it feels like to know, That I ruined my own show, That I broke a hundred hearts, And caused a thousand tears. Oh, it'd be impossible to express, How it feels to have a heart beat... Sign in to see full entry.

Rubber soles on my feet, Worn down, wearing thin, Veterans of this world, Stories to tell, Where to begin... Sign in to see full entry.

Wind Surround

Wind blew, Screaming and cooing, Frightening, passionately Calling out to no one, But I stood alone and listened, As a symphony cascaded down. I was pummeled, With both sound and inspiration, Walls broke, shattered in my head, My body fell back, But I stayed standing, Atop a leaf bed. I can hear... Sign in to see full entry.
