I wake to find a scene unkind,
on vessel I do stand.
Adrift at sea, lost, scared and cold,
in desperate need of land.
“Why am I here? Where should I turn?”
“Which course should I set sail?”
I try to keep myself composed,
but all my senses fail.
Rotating, searching, looking out,
no means to know the way.
And so, I drift with every wind
more helpless day by day.
“Shall this continue endlessly?”
“Shall sea become despair?”
“A purpose there must surely be,
a course to chart… but where?”
Then pausing, pondering, opening up,
a prompting, “Look above”.
In distant sky, a wisp of white,
a sign of hope - a dove.
“Set sail!”, my heart cries. “Follow thence
until you reach the shore.”
Yet speed I’ve not. I fall behind.
The sign I see no more.
But all’s not lost. The way I know,
if to this course I’m true,
then home I shall be once again…
my mansion built anew.
Time as always presents itself
Or perhaps it be me presenting to time
Another place as well am to dwell
Finding another place to simply fall behind
Did I leave a trail I wonder?
Will there be someone following after?
Of the many things I do so ponder
At a worsen place I might just feel better
Every footstep where shadows fall
Every doorstep I leave closing each door
Part of me wanted something more
Yet do instincts often tell me to ignore
Amazes me even how I do not miss home
The one place where I'm branded a stranger
And this place itself I'm yet more unknown
To be left however a sensation strangely familiar
Perhaps a goodbye will fall to place
A presentation to have once left behind
Another time will another place I shall face
Shall I but leave another trail behind?
do we want to know what’s behind
it - it the show, the drama, the comedy, the crown?
roll the tape, blind us
to the truth of the goofs
snapping turtles, caramel
the lines deceased
irreverence released
do you want to fall behind
the line, congo style
playing the bongos
on air, blowing off steam
Ricky’s loving
her deep red hair
henna is just a trick
he does tricks
morality took a leap, why
the dial into sleep?
David’s herding, no one heard
the sheep.
the bees buzzing
the birds whatzing
the show a go go
look on tape
to see what you believe
no one
in tv land is dressed in virtue
it’s a really big shoe
Ed Sullivan’s size
throw the curtain
don’t look behind the curtain
memorize the lines
even prairie lines
so sweet and innocent
don’t analyze
you’ll be disappointed
don’t buy the book
it’s not done by the book
there’s a cover for a reason
don’t meet the action figures
they don’t bend
you can pop their heads off
they’re not worth
a million dollar man
Farrah Fawcett wouldn’t give
him an eye
it’s rich
his life’s unreal
roll the real
world

Until infinity
In any vicinity
Let me put it out there officially
I smoke and drink religiously
Call it the holy trinity
Initially
You'd think it does not mean s*** to me
And that all of it was done deliberately
Don't need your sympathy
Back-up or an infantry
Going to handle it differently
Instead of taking it all literally
This took effort and energy
Listen up Beverly
And Jeffery
A sad tune and melody
No cure or remedy
Every
Century
Continual treachery
Impacting longevity
Lives put in jeopardy
Done in plain sight or with discrepancy
Only thing left is a memory
The cycle going on endlessly
In case you're unaware
Had to start somewhere
I once cared
Now my heart, it's nothing there
People often just stare
Realize real life never was fair
I'd just hide and brush it to the side
I ain't got all the time
Or I'll fall behind
In a world full of crime
I've tried to keep an open mind
Instead of being asinine
Occasionally drinking seltzer with alkaline
Still looking for my valentine
While close and far from power lines
Became friends with a Porcupine
They never tried to undermine
Or made me feel like Frankenstein
Often I'm Jekyll but then I change to Hyde
All this rage inside
Is today the day I die?
Soldier, stand down
Don't be a damn clown
When there's toxic gas around
And in the sky a giant ash cloud
So what if they have doubts
And want to bad mouth
Once again I'm about to black out
All across the homeland
She needs to get with the program
I've been on that Conan
So she can get some romance
Watch me do it with no hands
Another body another toe tag
Like Godzilla against Rodan
Instead of always being so mad
Find a solution by making your own plan
Otherwise it all could go bad
Tick-tock ya can’t rewind
Time doesn’t stop or fall behind
Clock hands cut like a sharpened knife
Time doesn’t lose it runs your life
Born with a cry blink then you're grown
Chasing years you’ll never own
Gold turns gray fast and sly
Can’t outpace it don’t even try
Heroes fall and empires bend
Every story meets its end
Watches shine but they betray
Marking life that slips away
No bribes deals or cheat codes work
Time doesn’t flinch and it won’t shirk
Kings and beggars rich or broke
We all breathe time like secondhand smoke
Tick-tock ya can’t rewind
Time doesn’t stop or fall behind
Clock hands cut like a sharpened knife
Time doesn’t lose don’t let it steal your life
I just hope time doesn’t hate me too, doesn’t judge me for the moments wasted,
I never meant to waste the seconds, to let them slip through my fingers,
I swear, I didn’t want to, but I was tired, tired of the burden of silence pressing on me like a curse,
Of the pretense that solitude is a form of strength, an invisible but cold shield.
I was tired in a way that sleep couldn’t fix,
Tired of waking up to the same empty silence, without echo or response,
Tired of fighting the demons hidden in the dark corners of my troubled mind,
Tired of hearing that I am nothing, until I began to believe the same lie myself.
Some days I didn’t even feel real, just a name, a body,
A shadow moving through minutes I didn’t ask for but received,
And even then, in the depths of my exhaustion, I tried to smile, to endure,
To convince myself that I am not a waste of space, that I exist beyond form and name.
So if time is counting, if it keeps track of every moment,
Tell it I was human, that I bled in silence, that I fell without intention,
Tell it I didn’t want to fall behind, I was just exhausted from merely surviving,
That I was a soul seeking light in the darkness that embraced me without mercy.
In my heart, I always sought that fragment of hope to light my way,
And even if I was just a shadow in the flow of time, I tried to be more,
To leave a trace, a whisper that I too existed, that I too felt and lived,
And maybe, one day, time will remember me not as a mistake, but as a dreamer.
I shed pieces of my lonely mind,
turn it into ink and let it dry,
to feed a soul that wants to see me cry.
She awaits patiently, on the other side,
reading all but never tries,
to see, I am more than what she thought of me.
I am her happy days and I am life,
I am the never ending battle, eternal fight.
For her peace, I’ll let her fly,
though, I cry.
We could have been, so much.
Every dream and every desire,
every promise that God had inspired,
served, before us both,
we lit it all on fire.
So the sky cries, as I do too.
It’s been forty days and forty nights,
since I last saw you.
The only one I hate is time, for it is all so cruel,
could I go back for a moment, linger on a view?
My words, they no longer have meaning,
I wrote novels and pain is so demeaning.
My feelings are just as moments, carelessly fleeting,
leaving me so, so cold and broken.
I envy, every single soul that knows peace.
I’d give ever piece of me, to feel a breeze,
pass through my hair, so I could feel free.
I’m shackled to a moment.
The promise of life, a torment. Dreams, desires, love.
Chained to a rock, stuck inside a river,
the current passes and I too weak to shiver,
fall behind a world that labeled me a sinner.
The water rises and my lungs they beg to breathe,
this realm it seems is violently free.
Ignoring the will of the evil or pure,
chaos is calm and letting go, the cure.
So let the flow wash away my pain.
Let the angels eyes dry, the sky not know rain.
Let it all be alright,
let it be okay.
Since You’ve Been Gone.
Since you’ve been gone, my heart has a hole, darker than arctic nights.
Since you’ve been gone, my ears seek that voice which abides now with the choir of heaven.
Since you’ve been gone, my hand now seeks fingers they once entwined, and held them by your side
.
Since you’ve been gone, my body misses the arms that held it tight and our hearts as one shared the same beat.
Since you’ve been gone, I breathe in deep the smell of springs sweet flowers and memories of your perfume once more my nose assails.
Since you’ve been gone, each day is empty where once your laughter did fill.
Since you’ve been gone, I still await the knock on my door, of which I know shall never will come. The pain lingers on, a kind of which I’ve never known.
Since you’ve been gone, through tears that fall behind closed eyes the question asked, why you went away. You left so suddenly, many words wished, now left unsaid.
Since you’ve been gone, while alone I sleep, I ask of him, you in comfort will he keep. Till at last no mere memory, but side by side through eternity we shall be.

As of recent times
Another one-sided agreement signed
I'm trying to leave the impact of a meteorite
Very little peace of mind
Haven't found, what I seek to find
Struggling to sleep at night
I do not need advice
I'm a decent guy
It doesn't matter if anybody else does, as long as I believe in I
We just can't always see eye to eye
Not thinking outside the box, then you will be confined
If you never mean to try
Quickly you will fall behind
Not everything is good
Nothing withstood
The test of time
Another one out the door, and another next in line
In a world full of pesticides
Humans still committing genocides
It was emphasized
Or just swept aside
Felt like I made tremendous strides
In nearly every area, I started to specialize
Then I began to feel dead inside
It's been a pathetic plight
And an epic fight
During a hectic life
Close and far from Septic pipes
Can't handle the truth, they always want to edit my
Content, don't want to let it fly
I did it wrong, but said it right
There really is an end in sight
Which is why, it's so important to always try your best in life
You’re on your own pedestal and I can’t reach out to you
You’re standing tall while others fall behind you too
Sorry if I let you down, but you rise from the ashes somehow
You ride the flames of your passion while I drown in rain anyhow
I’m the best failure you’ve ever had
You’re the worst success and it’s sad
That you had to depart from the light
You’re like a lifeguard without her might
Without you, I can’t breathe anymore
My weak lungs are enflamed and sore
The sky of rainfall collide from bitter clouds and I’m drowning in my lonesome soul
I’m confident that you’ll get out of darkness and enter the crowds of happy people
My chest is sore from a heart beating evermore —
Open up the corridor of my heart’s ability to adore you as you are
I’m trying my best to seek peaceable hope in store —
What more can you ask for? Another remedy to undo your scar?
Torn into pieces and still, I rise to meet my end once more, once more
Could’ve sworn you had me breathless against my will to the core, to the core, to the core
Trapped within this chamber of hell and I insanely call out to you in vain
You zapped the energy out of me in this cell, then I fell down the drain
No one can tell that I was a monster back then
Neither can they tell I can never be a ten again
Reminding myself of the past mistakes I’ve made
I’m sorry I threw at you so much hatred-bitter shade
Envy weighed me down till it made me feel incomplete
Now, I’m barely trying to get back on my weary feet
You held so much abominable regret and I got you so upset
I apologize for the times we accidentally or purposely met
I’ll take responsibility for my heartless actions by satisfying positivity to the max
Have mercy on me, for this pain is uncontrollable…it’s so difficult for me to relax
