The Simplicity of Life

The simplicity of life
Transparent as black glass
Bordering my ever contemplating mind
And the annoyingly optimistic
High pitched
And easily recognizable
Music of the Beatles
Struggles to overcome 
my black soul
And forces the image of Paul and John
As they point in my direction
And shout for all to hear
And all to know
That I'm the real nowhere man
Making all my nowhere plans
For nobody
Just me
Alone in this place
No signs
To tell me where i am
No direction
To show me where to go
All of the houses
Match
No cars
No people
Just a dog
Barking in the distance
constantly
Every second
Of every day
Every night
Of every year

And nothing I can do
To silence the painful
Racking
And never ending noise
As it slowly drives me
Out of my mind
Every second
Of every day
Every night 
Of every year

No sleep exists
No thought is clear
And when the lights go out 
The grunting starts
Coming from under the bridge
But when I go
To inspect
There's nobody there
Just the growling 
Of a disgruntled homeless man
Who's house I picture
Is now floating down
This never ending river
Of noise
 As the snoring
The water
And the barking 
harmonize
To form an overwhelming lullaby
Dulling my mind
As it goes on
forever
Woof
Snore 
Whoosh
Woof
Snore
Whoosh
Pounding my ears
Constantly
Every second
Of every day
Every night 
Of every year

Love and Beauty

love constantly flows
emanating all throughout
beauty follows close

Benevolent Truth

benevolent truth
sat next to me 
on a couch 
spotted in red and green stars

our freinds suround us
some around the pool table

a complex muddling of voices bombards the oncoming music
as it crawls up the rigid wooden stairs
and with all intents to greet the poster above our heads
of a turtle with a banjo in its lap 
and large tie-dye letters
that spell out the name of my favorite song

the same song
being blasted by the slightly intoxicated band downstairs.

A Note To You

dear love

you speak and write as if you were left,
abandoned in a dark and lonely closet
but i am there
you know that i am
my sad and masochistic form is always there 

for one small moment i wondered
my fears took hold of me
i wondered what i will do when i lose you
to that damn school

i am used to being alone
in my own dark closet
but you shattered that

i was in shock
i know my feelings
and while i hate it i understand
and accept the fact that i rely on you
i need you to be with me
i am utterly and hopelessly yours

but you are leaving
that fact hit me harder than that car
that we all laugh about now(or that escalator)
and shattered my confidence

what will i do when you leave
i can't expect my love to just leave and go with you
and i can't expect you to stay in love with a person who you can't see

but you aren't alone
not while you are still here
close enough for me to wrap my arms around you
and hold you 
as though the world were ending

i love you
i am in love with you
though therefore i assume that you love me to
but i wonder this
when you say that you are alone
do you still love me?

Rainbow Bleeding

a girl
barely a woman
still sitting
in the corner of an engine room

she's bleeding 
her arms bleeding

a blade in her hand
dripping 

the heart formed droplets splash
and her eyes are empty

the blood mixes with oil
making a rainbow in the red

it flows into the sunlight
beaming through a hole in the roof

cut in the shape of a face
smiling down on her cold corpse
still sitting in the corner

Vividly Colored Blackness

colors
so many colors
bubbling forth from places
from which bubbles know no bounds
sunlight piercing
through useable darkness
unnoticeable to warmly clothed eyes
as we walk unnoticed 
to our favorite haunt
beautifully vivid blackness surrounds us
our supposed friends 
don’t notice 
the obviously noticed obvious
and we love and revel
to our walking souls
leading each other as turns are taken
to a store
to our store
and music fills the emptiness that all others feel
upon our arrival 
our sources
seen only to us
and our hidden 
and unwritten eyes

Response To the New and Old

You write of loneliness
Anger 
And fear

You look of pain
And truth 
So clear

You claim for shaking 
Quaking 
Neutrality

And its ecstasy 
You claim 
Is the fearless one behind the pain

When I’ve seen
Through ties of woe
Its you who lacks
The fear

Truly possible you hide
Through paintings strewn through the tide
You put on shows
And masks
Some comedic
And others tragic
But still your stronger

Remove my sleeves
And truth be seen 
More like a zebra
Of red and white
I hate them
So they control
I love them 
Though they have no soul
And you 
The soulful love
The first 
The last 
The truly one
And you pretend 
That your unshown
But you know that
 confusion 
rarely walks alone

there’s me
you see
I love you 

But your loving eyes betray
My heavy feeling

You seem to stray
To others
Lovers
Haters
Scumbags 
This time a year
Like the last
That one who left you for a friend
You keep
You hide
From past reserves
You keep from me
And don’t let me show
My love
My soul

Perfect Moment

the music bounces
writhes
and forces its way
around our hands
inseperable by forces keeping us true
freinds are around
but we ignore them
though i can see their reflection in the rain spattered window
the rythm of the rain mixes with our song
it wraps its way down through the flames that cover the stairs
and into the minds 
of the drunken musicians
the drummer beats the clouds
and thunder overwhelms us
everything shakes
rocking our worlds
to the beat of a classic song

a classic song crawling its way up charred wooden stairs
as though its hand had lost the rail
we wave
slowly back and forth
not unlike a cold winter beach
our eyes close
and we dissapear
into the beautifully vivid blackness

Avoiding Happy

as happiness avoids me
you leave with her
the one

and you plot
to entreat yourself to friged abandonments

and you still ask
"do i trust you?"
and seem surprised 
when i say no

you pretend sadness 
and sorrow
but you dont understand
you have never known those true feelings
you act like the wounded man
like you need protection
weaving your sunlit 
starry web

you crave her warmth 
as i constantly know
you show the obvious with an obvious grin

and yet i cant help but think
that loyalty will follow her
and love will warn her
in the presence of white marble pillars
i dont know if she loves me
and still i trust he more than myself
i cant stop
unthinkable logical falsehoods 
persuade my mind
of otherwises
and other ties

you lied and cheated
to win her heart
when i failed with sincerity
i dont understand 
i showed her love
and you restorativly remove her stare
