ATLAS SCRUBBED         

            Let’s all sit down and discuss this rationally
Since it is of import internationally
And hysteria will get us nowhere
So let’s get a few facts...

The greatest illusion is stillness 
Numb to the sense of spinning on this atlas stone
Unaware of twirling on a celestial clock
We are a mere blemish on a cog
In this device of time

Atlas are you unable to rest?
Put your burden down and for a moment be...

Feet over head, eyes to the skies
Men why the pain look
You're like fish on a hook

Why u so hot
Like a coastal line
Why u so high

So dark like night of under ocean’s world
And so bright like moon of this night
Why u so close and kind that u r clapping in...

CAN ONE BE ARRESTED FOR YELLING LIAR IN A CHURCH?

You pious people in your pews
All you reading about the arrival of some wondrously good news
A  new horizon can’t you see?
Well imagine you were with my wife, infant child and me 

We three had left...

Great bald eagle flies towards endless horizon
Above the mountains sun has risen
Below runs horde of bison
The colors whether spring or fall spirit can brighten

Atlas on his shoulders has weight of the world
His muscles are burled
His soul impaired
He is one step away from the underworld

But the...

Everything starts in our head

The possibilities never end

When thoughts mix with emotions

That's when they start to bend

Most times it starts out good

But ends with what we crave

Our thoughts spiral out of control

We're lucky we're not in the grave

This formula can be applied

To all levels of...

Teardrops carrying within them pieces of my soul
Falling for the sake of your heart
Fragile as glass

I can't bear to see you break…

Listen to the howls
Crying to a pale moon
Echoing in the emptiness

Chanting for demise…

A step towards the edge
Winds crying, tearing at my eyes
What lies beyond?...

Always nice to be away
From people like you
Who are stressing me apart,
Don’t you think so?

Whatever,
Just in time.

I was thinking deeply about
All that happened in my life,
Since I met you, I will never forgive,
It hurts too much,
Hope this party will remove such thoughts.

Have a great time,

Now Paris
Is washing its eyes 
With August rain
Paris is now 
A woman
A Babylonian bride
Her wedding
Is set on Christmas
I hair trills in Paris
And emigrants cheering
And applauding
To welcome 
These eyes of marble
This your day woman
You will hug
Another man
A Parisian
Black-feet
Who does not respect
The rain

In my little house
There are...

The road to success is marked
with signposts of all those 
 
whose ordinary strength
were propelled by preternatural
energy
 
to exceed certain familiar bounds
along its side.
 
The map to euphoria is outlined
with names of people
 
who painstakingly
pored over its natural contours
 
in their hot pursuit
for complete excellence
until...

her spine that musical instrument
I strummed plucking sounds chords and tones
in axis, the toothed vertebra
she turned her head saying she knew
everything I know she didn't know
about heathen nights and their shifting moons
or all jesus christs in christianity but it's a lie
as I climbed my fingers...

My deepest fear and loneliness
Loving someone else
I am reading atlas
Our unforgettable past

People walking on the pavement
I feel the very sad moment
The sun is crying
Our indelible ending

Walking on the side of the river
In my heart, I will love you forever
I pick several pebbles
Selling lots of red...
