T-Train

...listen, wide away;
can you hear it's most solitary sound?
Wailing with a rapture,
causing rumble over ground.
Look now, do not tarry-feel his cold steel embrace? Heaving with a
drumfire, rolling like a thunder. Tis' the T-Train to give chase.

Come closer and do so let us hide, and put away any thought of-or
the T-Train we will ride.

For what can be the use of this? I see we quietly reap the rain...
Why should we have to board, to contemplate it's pain?

So, remember and forget, step down from it's refrain, it's time to
embark-hastening it on... Go and bother me elsewhere, Goodbye! 
Farewell, T-Train.

My Brother: Conscience; Sister: Subconscience

Out into the open,
gone an, cast away from thee.
Living the life I'm living,
needing to be: a chance to be.
Who's always understood me not,
feeling the price I pay.
I wander through the maze;
ever hindered by the day.
Oh, once you had your daydreams,
and to me-seemed to entwine...
All was left so unseasoned,
our lives never seemed to ryhme.
Life was always with you,
and also without.
Cold-battering flights of bold,
you dispatched me so full of doubt.
Now, all but so, disconcerting;
and sometimes, ever so clear.
I alone walk the egde of childhood,
seeking, needing, for you to be near.

Shield Me From This; and That

Wrap me up in a crystal ball,
and toss away the key.
Put me on a journey,
away from land and sea.

Wrap me up all cozy and warm,
all flying through the stars.
Let me visualize all that's there,
to record in memory's hold: Afar's.

Shield me from all the woes,
Never to feel again.
Tired of hurting here;
Wanting anew to begin.

Want to travel, to travel,
on to-"Afar".
Want to keep on traveling...
To record each and every star.
