Never SafeNever Safe
I’ve never felt safe, if I may be so bold,
No warm shelter from nights so cold
If walls were strangers, far or near,
This silent place was built from fear.
Their smiles were teasing, sharp and sly,
Their hug a blade, an unspoken lie.
I’ve had to breathe without a sound,
Hid my tears, kept pain unbound.
At night I whispered...

As This River Gives, Rock a Bye, Lyrics
As this river gives, not giving a damn
Emptying out the lake of hate, I am
This ecosystem dies, but was it alive?
Just surviving on dreams that I kept inside
Confusion fills me, deep as this hole
The sinkhole depths mirror my soul
No reflections to see, nothing left to find
Just hollowing cries, and thoughts unkind
Saturated tears, muddled in fears
A...

About This Place
searching empty rooms ~
what do my tender hopes seek
now that I am all moved out
~ ~ mattered - not oblique ~ ~
sadly - whole house seems aloof
even walls just feel the roof...

Dream Me BackI lay like that —
arm above my head,
one leg curled in,
drowned in the smell
of our bedsheet.
somehow,
I drifted off,
and there you were again.
I still do this thing
where dreams
change scenes
like home videos.
everything happens —
we came back
to where we wrote the letter
with the pen.
sorry.
I was mean again.
I said too much —
so you stayed gone
for so long.
but kiss me...

FORGIVEN AND EXCUSED-No, I forthwith forgiven you as I held the door open to my heart you ripped up
My arms and hands released you from the embracement
For thou I have so forgiven you for what I’ve done and we do
In the truth of the matters we are both sadden by the view
Of the empty room one entering...

John Lennon
Was John Lennon
crossing the line,
mucking about,
burning his bridges,
or bucking the palace,
a fine sign of the times
then, in 1969,
not often seen,
when returning his MBE
to The Queen?

YouI know
You'd return every winter,
To remind me
Of all the frozen nights.
But,
With the commence of spring And the warmth of wind, I'd be unmoved
Whether you stay or not....

Look AwayPlease look away.
Don't stare down the demons behind my eyes.
Please don't look at me.
Please don't see me.
I can't imagine what would happen if we understood.
If we looked behind the mask and saw all the pain we've caused;
What we did to eachother.
Every time you hit me it wasn't the bruises that were the problem....

Loping over the far horizon

Yet they approach, all the same....

Forgotten NostalgiaI’ve tried to fall asleep
And forget what we were.
What we had doesn’t matter
If you’re not here to share the moments.
What if I never told you?
Would we still be together—
Or would our relationship
Still fall apart in the storm?
Thoughts of you flood my mind,
And for some reason, they still hurt.
Shouldn’t memories of you make me smile?
Why is...

Painting the Skywhen i was a kid i used to draw a blue line near the top of the paper
that was supposed to be the sky
it started off being thicker in some places than in others
but as the time passed i started to add clouds
and draw inside the lines
the older i got,
the more realistic the sky became
then...
