As the day turned  

Fighting Irish were certainly concerned  

Waiting for a meeting  

With an Aloha greeting  

Aggies promoting the lone star  

Trying to clear the collegiate hardwood bar ...

Battle within my Mind

Day by day
I live my life
Somehow, someway
Filled with toil and strife
You're back again
That little voice
Oh what a strain
When I wish to rejoice
I'm pulled back down
To a very dark place
Is this what it...

Outside my window I see folks moving along in life, some faster than others, some looking forward, some looking back, some heads held high, some hanging low. 

An old man waiting on his wife, an...

If this is what I have to live with,
all the messed up things I did,
well find a way to relive time
before that messed up midnight chime.
To relive the way I hurt you girl

The trains are always on time
One running north
One running south
On the same track
It makes perfect sense when they collide
Who are we to question business practice
Authority is always right up and down the line
Little Bambi nibbles...

I try and...

Hiding, two steps back,
Golden helm on your head,
A slight bow,
smote blade against breastplate.
Jagged hills, clouds hiding a blue sky,
Distant screams of enemies and allies alike
 invade your hearing,
 Hope,
 The enemy doesn’t gain victory!

Watch!
White cape...

Soccer mom, soccer mom  

Waving “I can do anything” magical wand  

Looking for gold  

Image ever so bold  

Not wanting to fold  

We are told  

Putting the ball in...

Shipwreck.


If because I have been out of the loop for too long,
I can no longer speak of love;
Then what more is there for me to say?
My silence is deafening, so I will speak no more...

SLAVERY
.
They said;
If I count, and I walk twenty-two steps back
I will find death somewhere in mother's eyes
They said;
When I'm twenty-seven, and I become a man
I will read meaning to the jargons on my palm
.
They said;
If...

Its called just going through the motions
There's no quick fix, no magic potions
Day in, day out the goal is the same
Head up, stay strong. My emotions. Tame
Stress this, stress that. Wait, just breathe
Stay busy, feel...

Sunbeams flood into my room like a tide on the rise creeping in.
Woe betide me be, wet or dry, warm or cold, enlightened or beam blighted.
Dawn bears beams of revelations, comings and goings, flotsam and...

Your eyes drawing me in
One step forward, two steps back
Wondering what would have happened
If I kept walking away

Fate bringing us together
One step forward, two steps back
Loving to the point of insanity
Pushing out the voices in...

I'm losing myself 
there is no place to go
my life is currently runway show 
So hectic so full of b.u.l.l.s.h.i.t
I want out. But i'm trapped 
I look at myself in the mirror 
The girl is...

Anger seethes, it rumbles and roils
Fury thunders, bubbles and boils
I want to scream, I want to shout
I want to hit, to lash out
It’s driving me crazy, messing up my brain
Christ, why has this happened to...

A fire in the kitchen?
I smell of smoke in the hall.
Somebody is very guiltily 
Washing down the wall.
What’s left of the toaster’s
Just a burnt plastic shell.
Some time last night
We almost had a mini hell.

Thank the...

Sinister and ugly is how I feel
In my downtrodden hellish thoughts
That does not heal

My feelings of apathy and regrets
The driving theme’s of today 
That reveals my secrets

What drives the internal in a being to become...

Three fingers wide and about a foot deep.
I feed the small stove below my kitchen sink.

her daily trip's, her O.C.D.
Not leaving your bed for short month's,
and eventually long year's,
