Dead leaves are falling
all around us a change is happening
prayers swirl the ground
encasing the world above
hang your coat and step on in
into this mystery machine
it will take us to the life of the in between
the journey has just begun
pull the pages back
off the calendar on the wall
watching the memories fall
remember moments that have passed
pray this sweet time can only last
I trace your heart with my fingertips
A tepid touch against two lips
How do these words embrace emotion?
Relating the sun warming the ocean
Trusting a five letter word
A faint grip on whats occured
The reflection in the mirror isn't quite the whole truth
What you don't see is unclear
Faces aren't always what they appear
Lay me down and embrace this emotion
Hang your coat and step on in
Into our mystery machine
Let's explore the in between

Treading a broken road

Last night I came awake while you were sleeping
As I looked to your face I realized I don’t know why I’m here
I can’t understand what this really means or why I stay
As I slipped off into my dreams I heard a voice a distance away
No one knows why their here and no one knows why
The only thing that matters is today
I feel this sliding far away
You’ll never be ready if you stay


While you slip away out of reality
I’m still here
Gripping at the shirt tail of the future
And what it holds for me, in the distance
Because my vice isn’t the same
As I prefer veracity over optimism
Keep walking on, never looking back

Lost lonely cause

Oh tomorrow why do you come so slow
Do you bring of new harvest to sow?
Oh today where did you go
Did you crash away in the tides so low?
Oh future what do you bring
a new life is what you sing
a past, present, future ring
oh tomorrow why do you come so slow?

When death beckons


There's a box on a shelf
all wooden in structure
As you walk by try to notice
Theres a lady in silver
as the dew settles calmly
the light trickles
through the crack in the door
the alarm sounds
please dont wake her while she sleeps
She doesn't have much time
sometimes you cannot see
what is truly in your eyes
So sit back my dear
dont count your days
love your grace for what its worth
never allow your heart to stray
She's trying so hard to stay
Crying as the morning nears

Un/ity



All around me white is all I see
from the clouds above to the flying doves
Wedding bells are beginning to disrupt my sleep
Diamond Rings and flashy things
Does this make everything right?
All the nights you stayed awake to cry
those days you looked in the mirror and asked why
Whats wrong with me you think
never stopping a beat to blink
Close your eyes dear its not worthwhile
Don't lose your pride in the glistening isle
too flawed too daunting that's me don't you see
How long dear did you feel it near
praying at night with radical faith
bargaining with your fear
When does time catch up with dreams
the ones we had in the early year
the ones we see far and near
be careful they say dont scare him dear
you never know if he will stay
and to this I say ... I think i'm going to be sick

The way I see it

I was thrown some words and phrases to which I answered with my opinion. It's a fun little thing to do when your bored.
The secret- is to find out what the secret is. To always love instead of hate. To always have high morals and respect those you love.
Teenage girls- dont want your advice they just want your sympathy
I've learned- that you dont appreciate the things you dont pay for yourself
The good guy- will always win in my book. Who wants to spend their life with a jerk?
My friends- are funny, mature and respectful
It is enough- to try your hardest and still fail
Survival has- been programmed into our brains and heart and only gets stronger when we need it
It's important- to live like your dying, because you are and the people you take forgranted wont always be here for you
The bass player is- usually fat ( dont get mad i said usually not always!)
Tuesday is- never the best day of the week, should I look forward or behind?
I should have- planned much much better
We are all here- for a purpose, find yours then work at it
My father was- someone I didn't look forward to meeting
I had a client- that was crazy EVERY SINGLE WORKDAY!
Accounting is not math- its the 6th circle of hell
It's been ten years- since I was just trying to be a normal 10 year old in a not so normal environment
After four hours- with you I realize that lonelines is not far out of sight

The worst part- of not knowing is the images and thoughts you create out of dispair
Don't waste- me with your tomorrows, tomorrow may never come, God never promised it to us. I'll explain more tomorrow ;)
If the neighborman- needs a cup of sugar I've got plenty
Cowboys- are hot (enough said)
My mother was- a mother, a father, a friend - and still is
A man- should always have facial hair, never use "im a guy" as an excuse for being a jerk, be a man not a boy, support himself and try to find his inner woman if he ever wantsto succeed in a relationship
Fear is- of the unknown. Past, present, future
There's that line- in Dumb and Dumber when Jim Carrey says "big gulps ehh boys" Cracks me up EVERYTIME
I'm afraid - Of being a single mom one day
I'm not afraid - of dying, heaven has to be much better than this
