Plight of the Wight

Never again to know fresh air,
Combing worms from my matted hair.
No one remains who’d ever care —
Tied to my grave, this lonesome baire.
I must escape the sun’s harsh glare,
Tread carefully down crumbling stair,
Descend into my crypt just there,
Where I sit alone in dark despair.
Upon my ancient worm-eaten chair,
Inside my vaulted charnel house lair,
Such a sad

Railroads and Stair Ties

Railroads and Stair Ties
inside his french rent
everything went wrong at night
the city creeps in behind
and around your backs
having two different doorways
wondering when you lock
yourself in and upstairs
music's happen after
you walk to work
so during brunch her
boyfriends manage the street

sign like thats gonna work

Premium MemberIn The Mist

Lost in the winter mist
Erased from the files of memory
Crossed out of any possible list
That’s what it takes to be free
No difference if I’m alive or dead
No one gives a damn, its all right
What I needed to say, I’ve already said
What they wanted to hear, they might
Where do I go from here
What if I step

When you see stair
You start pace at bottom
To go to the top.

The Stair Case

The Stair Case

It stood before me, curving and long and awfully high.
Steps that seemed to go on forever
long and winding and narrow.
Like a twisting path in life, the staircase stretched before me
It travels both ways, either up toward the light
or, down, into a deep and darkened world of unknowns.
The stairs of life are everywhere, for

The Mist Upon a Stair

When night is dressed in darkest cloak and woe replaces gloom;
When all the children are asleep, each in their separate room,
Unsettled spirits will appear immured in murky mist.
No matter what you’ve ever heard, we seem to coexist.

There is a house inhabited beyond the owner’s fee,
For he can’t reap a rent from ghosts who dwell inside

Premium MemberA Slip Upon the Hallway Stair

Heel, breaking the plane;
Subtle distance unexpected - 
Body charged numb
With fear of death,
Or perhaps the fear
Of not quite dying.

Clutching at items,
Clutching at nothing.
As your fists curl in
A whoop of breath
Escapes,
Sprawling,
Fallen,
Or saved
From a lower stair’s perspective.

Stair to Heaven

A spiral stair comes in pieces. 
About one thousand to be sure. 
It is a very large box indeed, 
and weighs about 400 pounds. 

Do not tell the man accidentally;
to put it in the wrong place. 
You will be sorry.

Pulled out and counted, 
seven shades of black, 
shiny and beautiful. 
The entrance off

Premium MemberHeaven's Stair

Heaven will be whatever you make it, you see
  Dog-catchers down here will chase dogs up there
  Hog-butchers on Earth will slaughter hogs Upstairs
 
You choices down here  
  Seal your Fate up there
    Look before you leap
    If you'd ascend Heaven's stair

The Stair Case

Do stairs go up? 
Or are they down? 
Which way do they go? 

It depends on where you start 
If  you  really  want  to  know!

If you start at the top, then down they go 
But they would go up, if you start below  

The most amazing thing about a

Stair Stacks

You spent your whole life
walking up and down those steps
Sometimes the walk was less
when you lost a few rungs of horizontal wall elevation
More often the walk was more
when you puffed circular cigar smoke on papier spires
You always loved stacking the stairs,
accumulation of papyros was all that mattered to you
You never lost your papire seat 
			when

Dust Upon the Stair

DUST UPON THE STAIR
My life careers on so fast, the years and people fly by to who knows where,
times I had have been the best so I'll remember them but forget the bad.
Isn’t that the way we live our lives? Always wanting to remember the good but not the bad.

My music still sounds the same,
