Meaning

The head becomes heavy every now and then 
With pain
With narcissism
With anger

The mind is conflicting place
Sometimes empty
Others chaotic 
Often lacking a sense of purpose

An escape 
From the heavy head and conflicting mind 
Is a temporary death 
A moment of nothingness

Awaken those
Who have the will 
And the strength
To lift this weight 

Carry on with life 
Oh life, meaningless life 
Pawns of this life 
Moved back and forth

By that power 
Believed in by some
To give this meaningless life 
Meaning

The Little Things

There is no match for the little things 
Honest to God
Nothing can bring me more joy 
Than those little things 

A whiff of a scent I knew years ago
Just for a second 
Takes me back to that exact moment 
With vivid surroundings and sights to reckon 

The way my grandfather looks 
At his world, as she speaks 
His eyes attached to hers 
Hers don't even notice

Coffee in a tiny glass
Just like in a restaurant I had forgotten about 
Made me smile 
Made me happy 

Days are long, yet so very short
And these little things remind me to go on
That there is more 
That I need to work hard to keep these little things

The Dance of Time

Salsa for Baroque 
To every song, Time dances 
Never seeming to stop.

If the Rubik's Cube Was Round

If the Rubik's Cube was Round
Would the Earth not?
Would the men with knives and pitchforks 
After Eratosthenes be proud?
Would voyagers search far and wide
Once more for the famous edge
Only for the fall
If only the Rubik's Cube was Round

Bring Me Home

What I’d like to give you, is an ounce of my perfume
So you can feel this presence; my presence 
Even after I inevitably leave 
Profound in my apology to thee

Destined to become absent 
From life’s apparent joys 
I step aside from your podium 
To be alone; to be coy 

An illness, I’m told 
Of the body, soul and mostly mind 
One minute I’m ecstatic 
The next, uncontrollably static 

Born with it, I was 
Control over it, I’ve never had
So when I leave 
Make me one promise 

To not forget
And never leave
You must bring me home 
Until when, my perfume will have to be 

Not to be 
Miles asunder 
Don’t give up on my fleet
Bring me home to thee

Simpler Times

Horse driven carriages and umbrellas in the snow
Grey pavement, oh so dark
Gloomy every morning when the men are on the go
So happy when we used to have dinner as a whole

Oh my! Did you see that Mary has a telephone
Fascinating is not, let's go have a look
Maybe the girls and I will stop by for a cup of tea
And we'll admire the Boston sky as we sip in glee

Those were simpler times when we took pride in our own land
Had paper maps to guide our path 
Went on joyous journeys, glad
Those were simpler times when we took pride in our own clan
What Hercules did is irrelevant 
To me and all my lads

In the Tunnel

Long it has been 
My tunnel awaits 
Long it will be 
For me to awake 

Darkness numbs 
The loud surrey
Kindness keeps warm
I'm reminded not everyday

Secluded from this small world 
Smaller it seems
But this too is enough 
to bring joy or weep

Like every other sorrow 
This tunnel is my morrow
And this too shall pass
With many more to follow

Silence

There’s a silence
That’s so ambient
It’s volume soothes yet awakens the soul 

I felt it once
And never again
It was just before

I no longer feel 
I no longer breathe 
I no longer compete

For all those things 
That should have made me 
Me

But did not 
Unfortunately
I look back and see 

It’s alright
At the end it sinks into one
Moment 

The moment of truth
Where there is nothing but 
Silence

Life and Death

Life 
              Short, Long 
    Interesting, Terrifying, Boring 
 Family, Friends, Sins, Adventures
       Caring, Soaring, Daring 
            Empty, Circular 
                  Death

Superhero

Admiration for those who wear a cape 
On a screen and in an amusement park 
A child’s source of hope 
An adult’s nostalgic core 

Reverence for those who don’t
Everywhere they are 
An adult’s aspiration spoke 
To the cape they once wore 

Screaming I believe I can fly 
Jumping through hoops to save a life 
Racing through smoke without a second thought
Making a difference, no matter how small 

Every single one of us 
Grows up to become a superhero
Pilot, Doctor, Firefighter, Human 
Every dream comes true, Extraordinary or mellow
