More Words for No Reason.

If I were to write tonight
It would just be words
Not poetry

And if you ask what's the difference
In this moment
I would tell you that I don't know

To those who do not write

Hello

Welcome to the frightening side of the world

Welcome to the place where thoughts are real

Where you can speak and everything can change

Where ideas are dangerous and shaper than knives

Where for once

You are strong

Putrid Virtue

When the moon has set

And darkness is complete

That is when he will walk

From tree to tree

Following her light footsteps

Tracing her light scent

Hearing her light breath

Underneath the stain glass

She goes on her knees reverently

While the candles flicker and fade

A playful tragedy  

Hiding his hungry eyes

Disguising his hungry steps

Masking his hungry self

In a dark corner

Where no one can see or hear

His hands take from her everything

Robbing her soft breath

Stealing her soft light

Thieving her soft life

Back in his warm bed

His eyes flutter shut

She is buried under the chapel steps

And his honour is still clean

Though he took her soft life

Silenced her light steps

Stole her soft light

Stopped her light breath

He did not take her virtue

And he never stained his own

UP

Stay up
Read up
Grow up
Blow up
and finally
Fuck up!

I never want to be famous

Let me write shadows to hide in

Modesty is my only sin

Freedom isn't breaking down walls

It's choosing the ones to build up

To Feel Alive

We dance before the storm
We stand at the gates of hell
We lie on the highway

Why, oh, why?
To feel alive
To feel alive

We flirt with death
From day to day
With every glass we drink

We run into the wilderness
With just enough to live
Not enough to survive

We smile at the thunderstorms
Laughing at the forest fires
Rooting for the blizzards

Is it because we want to die?
We wont accept such a lie
Such an outrageous lie

Why, oh, why?
Do we try and try?
To feel alive
To feel alive

Hiding My Affection

When we meet
I'll keep my compliments quiet
When we touch
I'll keep the contact brief
When we speak
I wont tell all the thoughts

That drift inside my head
That say I find you so amazing
That tell the truth I only dream of
That makes my heart beat circles
Around yours

So I wont say
That I dream of your embrace
I wont hint
That your kiss is all I need
I wont breath
But a whisper of affection

In hopes that you will stay
Not frightened of my love
Not terrified of affection
Just happy to be near me
Content to be in love

And maybe when you hold me
After many starry nights
I'll look to you and bear my heart and soul
You wont even stumble
You'll say you knew it all along
and you love me even more

Going into the Great Beyond

A boy stands in the street
Waiting to be hit by all the rushing cars
Waiting to have all he ever was
Smashed out of his little frame
and spread out for all the see

But every car swerves
Every single person on the road
Doesn't want to take what isn't theirs
Even though he's asking for it
To be taken quite suddenly

To him
The afterlife is so much more exciting
He's seen enough of this world
He knows whats in store
The happiness he could find

To the drivers
This life is all they know
So why go running into the unknown
Stick with what you know
We all end up there eventually

Would you walk into traffic
To see what is in the Great Beyond?
Would you swerve to save a life
Even though someone is ready to go?
Would you be bold enough to drive straight?

Wanderlust

Show me a place
Where the sky matches the sea
In a turquoise harmony
Where the wind and the trees
Make sweeping emerald waves
Where the sun dips into the horizon
To create a scarlet work of art
Where the rain speaks to the ground
In an endless flow of silver sounds

Show me this world
That hides its beauty in plain sight

I'll go looking for it
I promise

Average and LifeLike

The squish of rotten tomatoes

The snap of a pencil

The howling wind

The far off hum of vents in an large room

The scrape of concrete

The slick feeling of oil on skin

The grime of sap from pine trees

The sizzle of the summer sun

The perfect position in bed

The uncomfortable chill of night

The flash from a dying lightbulb

The ice cube melting in your mouth
