I am a stranger in a strange mind Wandering from thought to thought, A mute in the land of the blind, I see everything I was taught But am unable to convey A single word. I pray, Somehow absurd In the sincerity of my dreams, Yearning for the soft and kind, Where everything is what it seems But,... Sign in to see full entry.

A Happy Morning
Shambling, grey faced Legions of the walking dead Wander beneath a concrete sky Snarling at everyone, every thing They hear or see. I, having embraced The day, will smile instead And brimming with delight shall try To raise my voice and, off key, sing Of how much I like to be Here and now and me. Sign in to see full entry.

My Head
I'm not sure where I left my head, It's clearly not where it's meant to be, Perhaps I left it at home in bed Instead of bringing it with me But now I need to use my brain And I can't find it anywhere, I've looked over and again At where it's supposed to be. I've looked and looked and still can't... Sign in to see full entry.

Expectations
I expect, I presume And, without you, I decide How our future will be Assigning needs and roles As I think right. I predict, I assume That I know what goes on inside You, that I can see Those corners of your soul That shroud themselves in velvet night Then when I am wrong and you take A different...

Patchwork
I am a patchwork man, No two parts coloured the same Or patterned alike, No pieces sharing a shape. I have no design, no plan, I am not broken, not tame And, in my oddities, may strike Fear or frivolity; either way I shall escape Your predefined role, Freed by my chaotic, patchwork soul Sign in to see full entry.

I Need You
I don't need you to make me smile, To find happiness or a reason to live. I don't need you to make me feel Complete or a better man Or to make me feel worthwhile. I don't need you to find and forgive My failures and hurts, to heal Everything you can. These are things that I can do, I just need you... Sign in to see full entry.

Slumber's Song
I hum along to slumber's song, A gentle murmur, almost unheard, There for a moment and then gone While I hum and mumble every word, Nodding to the rhythm that I hear And feeling my breath become more deep. I hum and distantly I fear That in a moment I will fall asleep As I quietly sing it seems The... Sign in to see full entry.

The Lie
I could tell you a tale Of sadness, a parable of woe To make the diamond hearted weep And the brightest day grow dim, I could bemoan and bewail The tragedies that I know Will haunt the hours of tender sleep To have you awaken gaunt and grim And see the world in shades of grey, A cold and unforgiving...

Dropped the Ball
I had the ball but I dropped it And it rolled under a bush somewhere Where it got lost and can't be found No matter how hard they try. The game was fierce until I stopped it Through poor attention and meagre care: As the ball rolled along the ground Many panicked but I Have quietly kept my head And... Sign in to see full entry.

Block
I can't seem to begin, I write a word or line And then lose track Of what I would have said. My thoughts whirl and spin And I, unsure which words are mine, Constantly go back And write others instead. I can't seem to find The words I want to say Or the images that dance Inside the palace of heart... Sign in to see full entry.
