In your absence, a ragged purple dusk stretches over the soul
In your absence, a ragged purple dusk stretches over the soul,
And is petrified, reliving at the frozen window of a heart invaded by silence,
I close my eyes, and the air becomes the cold silk of...

Sent To the Breakers
Having to forget you is a misconception.
I understand that things happen and these things we often have no control over.

Watching the boat leave it's pier is one of the most beautiful things.
My honest opinion....

people always watch as the sun starts setting
like an eye, the stars focus in sight
the day’s decisions now turn to regretting
with the red vanishing to a violet light

Those grand plans that are quietly put away.
People become busy waiting for their ship to come in.

Only Waiting
Only Waiting

Only waiting till the seed is sown;
On to the sodden stream.

Only waiting till the ship embarks;
Upon the crystal sea.
Waiting till the arrow hits it's mark
Waiting...

a ship's cook
A ship's cook 

The sea is dark, clunky, and calm today
 slowly undulate 
turns white where the ship's bow has plowed a furrow
that stretches for miles.
Gulls still follow us, shrieking and waiting for the cook to
throw overboard waste...

he checks his watch to see if his...

Door of No Return
DOOR OF NO RETURN

The story of fathers we tell,
Chained, beating, walking in desert land.
Moving down the coast,
To the door of no return,
Saying goodbye to their beautiful soul.
Their heart melts with pain,
Tears of blood in their...

into a room filled with cigarette smoke, we all smoked...

A CHANCE TO SAIL IS ALL I ASK
A CHANCE TO RIDE THE WIND.
I’VE DREAMED THIS DREAM A MILLION TIMES,
THEN DREAMED IT ALL AGAIN.

The Lost Diary

Scratching and scouting for my diary
Seeping but stucked in my senses

When she blew me a air of kiss

Ships Equipped With Souls
Our bodies are ships going with the tide.
The peaks and valleys that we all must ride.

Riding the waves being tossed to and fro.
Moving with the current, or ebb and flow.
