The way...

My love intended for the girl of my dreams,
she walks from side to side,
not knowing that I walk alone.

She is beautiful than any other thing in this simple world,
everything around her shakes and trembles
as she...

That through all this sadness I'm still sane
But my mind is racing, I can't break free

SPIRITUALLY INTERRUPTED.

I CAME TO EARTH WITH 
EVERYTHING IN TACT.

Heavy steel balls chained to both her legs.
Dragging herself each day as though she has a wooden peg.
A rain cloud over her head, she sees only black and white
Belittled every day, she lost her strength...

And you listened without judgment as I spoke of no hope in sight.

You held my hand as you spoke soft encouraging words
But...

I can’t walk out on this feeling,
The fat lady has just about sung the
Ultimate aria of her own selfish pain and loss.
The duality of my desires schism through my heart
Like a fuzzy scalpel, cutting and...

I would like to meet the man,
who claims to own a cloud.
I’ve heard that after a beer or two, 
he’d yell out drunk and proud: 
“See that cloud over there?
The one beyond that tree?
Well that...

Building upon hurt while your feeding on my pain
Tumbling and tripping on boundaries that you
should’ve never stumbled upon
You’ve crossed the line
Using my pain as pleasure and mixing my thoughts 
like flipping weeds
So I Give Up

Blasphemy…cloud over their hearts of gold
Their value gradually diminishes…their weapons turn to mold
Serenity…deserted them and neglected them like orphans 
Their joy rapidly wears out…they mislaid their abundant portions

They yearn,
“RESTORE the walls of Jericho!”

Anguish…shadows over their...

Apparently it was something he just had to know
He and his Dad were watching the clouds when he asked,
“Daddy, where do all these clouds go?”

O' where art thou's love on this round prison?
Desperately seeking love before my soul has risen.
I bite my thumb at the thought of a soul mate.
Cursed with this desire, that a dream is my fate.

there should be a sanctuary where you can retreat when fatigue becomes a burden,
when drinks no longer quench the thirst...

Perfection’s tuning fork disquietude,
Its awareness that any off-key meandering
Can cloud over a caressing sunshine rising,
Sour a dawning’s gardenia fragrance.

One reaches skyward with morning’s extension,
The opening of shuddered windows,
Inviting breezes...
