Brain On Fire

My Brain is on Fire
My Thoughts are blacken and cracked
My Soul is trapped in a mire 
My Body feels racked 

I am forever changed 
Am I forever lost?
 I am forever deranged
Am I knowing the true cost? 

Oh God, what is the plan 
Why could I have not been hit harder? 
Oh God, I do not know where it began 
Why could I not have been smarter 

I wish I could find peace 
Maybe just find some release?

Modern Knight

People Rarely see you protect us from the gangs
 the killers of the innocent 
People Rarely see you protect us from the drugs
the dealers or the pusher scum 

People Rarely talk of the accidents and carnage
People Rarely talk of your heroic rescue or deeds or 
The small child or mother you saved 

People love to talk about the murder, the mayhem, 
the loss of innocence
People love this talk but rarely but you in a good light 
or a positive way

People love to talk and whisper about a television made 
World of police and law and order
People love to talk but forget what you really mean, 
For you are the true Knight of the modern day.

Concussion Blues

No One can see the tears in my eyes
For I wear dark glasses 
No One knows my true demise 
For I feel my life is blowing ashes 

The driver behind me did not pay attention 
I doubt he thought how it would forever change my life 
The driver what was his intention 
I doubt he considered how it would wound my wife 

The headaches are pounding drums in my head 
The earaches screech like fingernails on a chalk board 
But maybe enough is said 
I will pray to the Lord 

For he will never understand
He will never see me covered in vomit 
For he might believe he never really had a hand 
He will never see the pain as I hide in my closet

Ode To the Governor

Ode to the Governor

by

Warren Curle


I long for a woman I can't have,
She is a woman who dances in my dreams,
She is a woman I always think of,
She is a woman I want to
She is a woman I dream of making love to,
She is a woman I'd long to grow old with,
She is a woman I want to share my life,
She is a woman I'm forbidden to have,
She is the woman;I wish the State would free
She is the woman I cannot hide away with,
She is a woman that I must meet Between wire and steel
She is the woman I cannot sneak a kiss,
She is the woman listed by a coded number,
She is a woman;I pray the State will forgive,
She is a queen in the tower of our despair,
that knows how to love me,
Please oh please, Governor do let her go!

Secrets Held Tight

I long ago dreamed of you in the night
I know this timing is not right.
It is time for the truth to be free
Though I know I’ll never be on my knee

You were my first crush
But; our years were in such a rush.
I wanted to make you my morning light
Also holding you gentle, yet tight.

I just thought you should know
Now I know I should blow
You were the best
You are still way above most of the rest

So here is a kiss
That I never had a chance to miss
My mind is now at rest
Know that I believe you are forever the best.
