The Artist

MY SOUL IS PAINTED IN BLACK AND WHITE

THERE ARE NO GREYS THROUGHOUT THIS CONSTANT FIGHT 

PENS AND PAPER;  PAINTS AND CANVAS 

REMIAN BLANK UNTIL THE ART OUR MINDS DO HAND US 

RED TURNS TO PASSION, LETTERS TO WORDS

GREEN BECOMES ENVY WITH ADJECTIVES AND VERBS

IT'S NOT ALL MAGIC REASON OR RHYME

SOMETIME IT COMES DOWN TO JUST THE RIGHT TIME

BEATEN, BATTERED, TOURTURED, AND SCARED

ONLY THE ART MATTERS WITH OUR HEARTS MARRD

DREAMING THE DREAMS THAT NO ONE CAN SEE 

CREATING THE THINGS THAT NEVER CAN BE

WE USE WHAT WE CAN GET BODY WOOD OR STONE

AND IF IT CAME DOWN TO IT WE'D EVEN USE THE BONE

FROM ONE MIND TO THE NEXT WE ALL ARE IN TUNE

SLOWLY BECOMING EXTINCT WE ALL SENSE OUR DOOM 

FINDING INSPERATION IN THE DARKEST OF PLACES

USING EVEN MOST OF DEFORMED OF FACES

IN FRAGILE MINDS CHAOS AND ORDER

WE SEE THE SKIES WITHOUT A BORDER

WITHOUT THE EARS NO ONE WOULD BE HEARD

AND WITHOUT THE ARTIST TOUCH LIFE BECOMES ABSURD

War Flowers

FOG FILS THE NIGHT LIKE AN ARMY ROLLING IN 
TAKING OVER THE GROUND AS IF WIPING AWAY OUR SIN
WE WEEP FOR THE DEAD THAT WON'T COME BACK FROM THE WAR 
BUT FOR THE ONES WHO MADE IT BACK WE WEEP MORE 
THE EMPTY SOULS THAT SMILE AT US IN UNIFORM
TELL US THAT THEY'RE DEAD INSIDE YET UNINFORMED
LATE AT NIGHT THEY VISIT THE GRAVESITES OF THEIR FRIEND
DURING LONG RAINY EVENINGS OF TRYING TO MAKE AMENDS
WHAT HAVE WE TURNED OUT WITH OUR YOUNG MEN
BUT BODIES FILLED WITH THE BLOOD AND HATE WITH WICH WE FILL THEM

New Year

SO MANY BILLS ARE DUE , SO MUCH PAIN 
SO MUCH PRIDE I'VE HAD TO SET ASIDE 
THIS NEW YEAR BEGINS SO PERILOUSLY
AS WE TOTTER ON THE EDGE OF SANITY 
DEBTS WE OWE WE CANNOT REPAY
AND I FEEL AS IF I'M IN SOME COMIC PLAY
I WISH TO THE STARS AND THE MOON IN THE SKY 
THAT AT LEAST IN THIS YEAR I WILL NOT DIE
WE WILL HAVE NO FOOD THIS TIME GO ROUND
AND OUR POOR PETS ARE SITTING IN THE POUND
AND WE HAVE NO ELECTRICITY NOW
AND IF THE SUN RISES I DON'T KNOW HOW
FOR THE WATERS OF MY FUTURE ARE MURKY YET 
EVEN IF  MY LIFE'S ROADS ARE NOT SET

Love Below

SWAYING OF THE TREES
A TOUCH OF ESCTASY
A FEELING OF BEING FREE
THE SYMBOLIC KEY 
A YEARNING FOR SOME LOVE
A THOUGHT FOR NOTHING ABOVE
A WHISPHER OF AFFECTION 
WANTING A LASTING CONECTION
A FLOWING OF MY WORDS
A SEEMLESSLY ENDLESS HERD
A MEANING SO DEEP AND
A SCREAM TO KEEP 
THE LOVE BELOW

The Deception

IN THIS UNSANCTIFIED MOMENT I AM UNCOMFORTABLY UNVIELED
AND I STAND BEFORE YOU NAKED STARING AT THE HOLY GRIAL
NOW ONLY BROKEN DREAMS LAY CRUSHED UPON THE FLOOR
IN THE FLUID OF MY PAIN AND YOUR BETRAYL

PAST PAINFULLY CLENCHED TEETH  I SCREAM,
THE ASTONISHMENT IS GONE SHOT DEAD IN FLEEING
IT FALLS TO THE GROUND, THE MUD, IT'S DIRTY
AND ALL THATS LEFT NOW IS THE BLOOD AND ANGUISH
A STARTLING QUIET SETTLES OVER AND WE DEPART

Gray Days

DARK CLOUDS ARE ROLLING , TO MAKE MY DAY TERRIFIC,
NO NOT TERRIFIC, BUT TERRIBLE
RAIN POURS DOWN AND THE LGIHTING CRACKS
AS THE THUNDER ROLLS AND SHAKES ME UP 
GRAY SKIES FILL WITH FEARS AND TEARS
RATTLE MY FRAGILE MINDSET 
THE BOOMING  BOMBARDS ME AND I SCREAM
AND I HUG MY STEERING WHEEL AND DRIVE ON 
I SHOULD HAVE STAYED HOME IN BED 
WITH SOMEONE I LOVE,SOMEONE WHO WOULD LOVE ME
OR MAKE LOVE TO ME,SWEETLY GENTLY, OFF SETTING MY FEARS
OF THE STORM THAT RAGES ON OUTSIDE MY MIND
BUT COLLEGE WON'T WAIT AND WORK DEMANDS I LEAVE MY FEARS BEHIND
THE LIGHTNING FLASHED AND THE THUNDER ROLLS ME OVER
BRING ME SUNSHINE BRING ME BLUE SKIES I SCREAM
BUT MY ANSWER IS ONLY CRACKS OF LIGHT AND BOOMS OF THUNDER
AS I SIT IN CLASS COFFEE AT HAND THE GRAY SKIES KEEP COMING 
AND THE DAY ROLLS ON AGIAN.

Those Eyes

oh to look into those depthless pools that bind me, and hold me captive
they catch my breath and hold it in  i cannot speak when i am with you 
i cannot  even think, all i'm able to do is smile in childish happiness.
to just be in your beautiful presence

my tears fall as i fall for you  and it hurts to  now look into those pools  and see 
myself as i know you see me alone sad a distorted image of the  presence i 
project, and i am not pleased  and i know you aren't either.

how could you be attracted to me? knowing what loves you. as i fall farther i 
promise to you  all i can, my love, my memories, all my hopes and dreams. i offer 
you everything if you'd just love me, hold me, or want me. i have your friendship is 
that all i will ever have? if so, I'll take it just to be close to you. it will do.

Silence

NO ONES TALKING, EVERYONE IS SILENT
AS WE WAIT FOR THE IMPENDING STORM TO BREAK
NO ONE MOVES , WE SIT IN FEAR 
WAITING FOR THE WAR TO BEGIN

Falling Farther

LOOK INTO MY EYES LOVE AND TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE
WHAT'S BEHIND YOUR MASK
UNVIEL YOURSELF AND STOP ACTING
AND IN AND ORGASMIC RUSH LET ME KNOW YOU 
I LONG TO BE ABLE TO BELIEVE THE THING YOU SAY 
THAT YOU LOVE ME THAT I AM WORTH ANYTHING
BECAUSE YOU MY LOVE ARE WORTH EVERYTHING
MI AMOR THE  ONE I KNOW I CAN NEVER  HAVE
BUT WILL ALWAYS WANT MY AFFECTIONS FOR YOU NEVER WANE
AND MY TEARS FALL AS I FALL FURTHER IN LOVE WITH YOU

This Deasise

I AM FULLY AWARE THAT I'M GETTING NO WHERE
I AM JUST TRYING TO  FIND SOMETHING I LOST IN THE DESPAIRE
I CANNOT COUNT ON THIS MIND OF MINE ANYMORE
LETTING THIS THING CONTROL ME AND EAT AT MY CORE
I NEVER MENT TO GO THIS FAR INTO THE BLACK PIT 
BUT ALL THIS PAIN IS KILL ME AND I CAN'T STAND THIS 
I KNOW I'M NOT UNCLEAN, UNWANTED, OR DEAD
BUT ALL OF THE FEELINGS JUST KEEP FILLING MY HEAD
I'M STRUGGLING TO KEEP MY SANITY STRAIGHT
AND TO PUSH BACK ALL OF THIS EMOTION AND HATE
ANYTHING I FEEL, I FEEL FOR MYSELF THESES DAYS
AND I SEE THAT IT'S SELFISH BUT I KNOW NO OTHER WAYS
I'M NOT DEALING, I'M DYING  IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF MY DISEASE
AND THIS IS MY LIFE SO STAY OUT IF YOU PLEASE
