There is radio silence today.
Usually I can tune-in,
today the deaf shout behind their words,
I stare at their moving mouths,
grapple with steams of muddled articulation,
not reaching anywhere close to a meaning.
An oral fog accents a strange language,
one I have yet to comprehend.
Is it I that's disconnected,
my mind defused like a used bomb shell?
I see a lot though, hear a lot,
but not in a way that can be interpreted
by anyone but those fabled lesser gods
that translate the world through
a mute and wondering heart.

The office is dark, I sit at my desk.
I watch my hand shake as I pour my drink.
From the beginning the case was a mess.
That's what you get when you choose not to think...
It takes some effort reloading my gun.
Still not quite sure just how bad I've been hit.
Clues and excuses, I have neither one.
Still, all the pieces are starting to fit.
She had been lovely, her husband a cad.
Now I've a body so cold on my floor
And I'm uncertain just where it went bad.
Probably when she first walked through my door.
Soon they'll be coming to cart me away.
Cue up the credits and fade out to gray...

Can you still taste the flavors of that apple you ate ten years ago
And hear the river nestling against the rocky embankment?
Or does that day no longer exist in your memory?
Have you already forgotten?
I guess inevitability made its way into your heart
And took the place of your emotions
Which you sent packing.
Did you even notice how they slipped out of your mind -
How they left this house empty?
Perhaps you needed to tidy up your home in order to make room for new things.

Rows of thousands buried underneath me.
I can feel them,
their hands reaching out to me.
their bodies beaten with cracked skulls
damaged to no end,
all these things,
..neglected attention..
..lacking of communication..
..no disposition..
all these things in this world.
shows their fight for life.
If I could feel death,
it would be faded.
Now I'm starting to see their position.
Because I've learned how to disappear completely.
This is where I end and you begin,
To fade out, again.

The lights no longer here.
Inside my heart, silence and dark.
Misery has taken my life.
My desire of believing.
How could I mourn these days?
I lead my soul to emptiness.
None to be blamed but Me.

ghost.disappear.fade out
fade away, i will not be here
tomorrow so notice me today
do i scare you when i walk
threw the wall,im not good
at floating so i bump into things until they
fall,im new to this i want to live again
everything cold,and i cant find heaven.
i search for the light,but i get no
guidance,i guess i will have to do it my self,
being a ghost is no different from human,
im just colder,and will never grow older.

You know what's happening-it's happened before
When you know you're alone and you crawl on the floor
You beg to the sky for just one scrap of hope
Cos' you're telling yourself you can learn how to cope
Then one day while you're asking instead for some shade
You realize that a change has been made
It will crush you and burn you and cause you to bleed
Here you thought all along that you had what you need
You know there's an answer-somehow you can't find it
Do you think if you wear it you'll manage to hide it?
But time's running out and you feel like you're frozen
Feel all that pain and taste all that poison
Nobody knows you so they try to explain you
Those questions just seem like they're trying to drain you
And you can't find the answers they've glued on the wall
The more you try reaching the harder you fall
So finally lay down;let yourself fade away
Life says "it was nice-come and see me someday!"

Get up ! Get up! empty eyes met mine,
no more in him..the spark divine

Upon my face of earthenware
So many feet have laid bare
Maiolica wearing thin-
My colours now growing dim
Revealing my kaolin

A whispering farewell
Of the Breeze in late August
It is turning cooler by Day
The Nights arrive quickly
That much earlier to stay
Swimming trunks in the draw
Short sleeves,back in the trunk
Fall is approaching
Her voice faintly heard
LifeGuards are leaving
The Beach to be tightrope
Children return to the School Hustle
Winter is around and about
Slowly on the horizon
As we gaze for one more time
Summer's Final Fade Out
