6-28-12

Watching myself from behind
Chasing words on the front
Dieing on the the rear
But my life is going along
Shots of death inside
Life escaped outside

I wonder where we would have 
been
If we chose our paths w/out a 
bend
Boring life the straightest road
Midnight holds the great 
unknown

Haiku

Standing in mist
I smell life
On the mountain

Untitled

Frozen in time
You thought it would
Save us from the pain of tomorrow
Melting in warm pacific tide
Just to see your smile
Broken.

Littered along polluted Sands
Calming seas bleached green w/ ink
Letters smeared into a
Colorful Oblivion

I tricked you to pick a
California Poppy
Ground came unglued
Forgive me father for i have sinned
From your son; twice removed.

The sun sits atop laurel stems
outstretched palms
A sunflower
Searching for a grasp of azure
Now and again rights and wrongs cut souls...
Mirrors looking up at me
Glass around my feet

Dark Room

So creative
Elaborate color patches
What we could be
Shark teeth
My skin feels so wierd i'm becoming an adult
I feel it
That cat was in ecstasy right there with me
Brushing upon my legs
Light as a Feather
Then poof
I'm only a kid who goes and sits under a bridge with his free time?
I'm sitting here. 
Oh i can hear the cat purring with its whiskers
Hahaha what is he thinking when his claws accidentally constrict the carpet, then darts off
Yeah cat, ide be scarred too.

Reminder; I AM ALONE!
Yeah im sitting in that dark room.

My Shape

I hope god spares me
My own misery is enough pain
Family doesn't need to be standing
In the atom bomb rain
The world doesn't need another hole
And neither does my brain..
Faded.. But still of a nice shade
If water splashes on my figure
Ill probably fade away
But ill say its a good day
Slithered down
On the grass in my shape

What You Need

Look in the mirror...Check
Crack your back....Check
Laugh at yourself
and pretend like
your funny but
really your sitting
in a room all alone
on a Friday night
and want to curl
up in a corner and
weep with joy because you cant 
believe 
your 18

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 
14 15 16 17

To 18!

So beautiful

Doom

I dont understand how i Saw some things...
Like the origin of language on walls
        And the begging of time..
Is it only in your brain,
    to bring value and meaning?

I do not understand some things like 
Sin..
   Where does it come from and how
Does it surface?
                       Does everyone feel
                           Or only the ones who know...??

I do not understand some concepts such as Doom, which i have seen.
Is it Good or Bad?
Can it bring quality of life?
It doesn't make sense to me and often times you can't even remember but then all of a sudden it bites you again! I just forgot what i wanted to write about Doom, but I've seen it
It's gone..
I had it explained to me once.

Are the answers written outside?
I see a lot of signs, but makes no sense 
Let the thought count, and not the word

I do not understand why I got to see

Santa Cruz 2012

It's so fun to play eachothers 
lives
write it down
come get inside
on these Giant Carnival Rides
It was a Giant Good One
And it's written all over your 
face

I was just looking for this pencil
when i was thinking of you.
It's all in your brain Big Dummy
Don't let it kill you!
Before I do
I'm getting loser
TO YOU!

This Is Man

I've seen a thousand leaves fall today
on trees that use to surround our lives.
 I've counted countless foot 
steps just walking between our houses. 
Passed so many addresses
which could of sculpted my destiny.
But somehow when i wake up i know im yours.

It's like your eyes are a little 
mysterious
And your pony a little more high
Your skin is such a stretch that i couldn't find
a match to your unique design.

Your innocent curious smile waiting
and accepting what is to come
Wedding house many setting suns
It shall be fantastic and it might not
be to the T
But whatever it involves i would love to see

Seeing your face in 1000 ways
reflected by a fiery flame
Each whist away for a new to develop in space.
Dieing  out through the night to be started up tomorrow
Light and rejoice and ill see your true smile forever

Texting

Reborn yet again in the River
Under baby blue spring skies
My girlfriend close behind
left the colorless winter
And awakened once again
So entwined w/ my surrounding kingdom
Built from my hands
Can handle rage from other men
It's built where ever my eyes have seen
Up to God to reveal the rest

Overthrow Monarchs and peasants Rejoice!
It's in my name, DOOMED!
Hear my voice!
They follow to seek
Yet seek to follow
I'm melting in misery w/ support of shoulders
Lone stick i feel washed ashore
Give me one more chance
I won't ask for more
