morning fantastic

many of the times we get along oh so well
often it is because we are together
red sunsets and cold blue mornings
nearly every one of them are a
intense reminder of where we want to be
not a day goes by that i am not
grateful for the mission i put myself on
frantic and fearful of the next touch
aware of how close to the edge i have come
never should even open my mouth
torn between service and self preservation
as i appreciate you know i am wrong
sometimes always being helpful does not help yourself
take everything from me you need to
if you need my life you can take that also
coming out of the dream

atmosphere collection

actually enabled
to fight the good fight
might not be nearly as important as
opportunities to learn why it is
still needed in the first place and
play the game with the intention of winning only,
have a chance to see the
evidence to see what everyone else wrestles with
riddles and jokes as code just in case
eventually it sinks in that you never
can stop working to improve if you want it enough
only the very best are aware of thier constancy
like that steady level of noise not in a library
lots of people are too tired or sad to try that way
everyone can get broken in this life but
cannot say i fit into that category anymore
truth is i can lift you out but
i cannot teach you to swim if you don’t want to
only you have the key
now that you know which door to open

stunning continues

Shining light glowing through
The shades and arriving with bird song
Underneath the canopy of a cloudy tree
Neatly arranging lines on the wall
Nearby I see your little hair curls…
Inched out along a soft pillow top
Near the green glow of an overnight soundtrack
Getting a slow sigh and a stretch pulled out
Comfy blankets laid out in rolling hills
Outside the covers is too cold for you to get up
Now I don’t want to move and disturb your still mood
Tempted to hold this moment long as possible
In this room a certain atmosphere exists
Natural easing back to the waking world
Untill I sit up the whole air will not shift
Insured that I have no reason to move
So that I can dwell here and cherish the calm

dead corrected

denied the chance to get to
enjoy those years in the way i hoped
again seeing the mistakes in the rearview
during the night all purposefull direction
came and went in a flash of recognition
orphan ideas that were lost in the shuffle
right when the year of lightning was
really gathering steam and that
extra mile was highlighted by your amazing smile
commenting without word on
this month’s hopefull discoveries
equalizing the tough times in order to
dedicate my works to you

destination found

deep in the soil of last years dreams
everyone has a few bones buried
some with regrets others with goals
those both have come to represent futures
include a prediction in your situation
none of the choices you make are without
a few hundred consequences but only two matter
this exact moment and in the
interest of all honesty the moment you lost the
only bit of trust i allow
not that you cared for peoples opinion anyways
from my very first memory to the recent past
once you know the right letters and numbers to
use every other worry falls by the wayside
now i have a good goal and
dedication to what i should work for

information actions

instances of being lost
not that directions or road travelled was
first thing on the mind anyway but in
order to correct the course that is
readily available for what you need then
make a bee-line for the destiny route and
alter your path for a future you targeted
torn away from the times you wish to disassociate
if the objective is distance then get on it
only you can tell the highway what you will do
now pay attention to your inner guidance and
address what your
configurations are in the boundaries of a mental map
tested by knowing where your destination
is without the wisdom of seeing how to get there
odd how you recognize it when you see it
not by instructions or the location on a diagram
symphony of purpose at journey’s end

expire indifferent

empty as the evening seems the
xylophone you play is my ribcage so
play it well and follow my rhythm
if you want to sing along then let me know
really give it your best effort and
each new chord you can pull out my eyes
introduce a new visionary picture so
now i can go ahead and play by feel
direct the whole body to be and seek the music
inside those young lyrics dwell
found indication of night-time impressions
finished wood polish you have prepared to
enter my chest and
remove y heart to make your instrument
evidence of the fire getting started
name the songs after the holes in me
these are the last notes i can convey before i pass

momentary memory tempest

most of the time it is something
on the horizon behind me and forgotten about
maybe even blurry and lost some of the detail
evidentially the ones that hurt are
not as hard to forget as i previously thought
tomorrow is always more important than yesterday
almost every occurence makes me forget
red behind my eyes that
you know that i lived with for years
making me struggle to suffocate the hate
eventually planting the seeds of bitterness
more time needed alone with a pen
opening up and spilling out on the page again
releasing what was the anchor holding
you back from a consistent progression day by day
that last time i discussed it was the end of
every hope i had for finalizing the past
must be easier to forget for the abusers than the abused
permanent scars on the inside make me hate you
each time i see you
so now i have to get over that
too

updated environment

under the fire there is the
piece of parchment that explains everything
don’t need it now that the information is locked in
as i have witnessed friends and siblings so close
then i realize i am the one who likes them the most
even though i have never been
Don’t think this is the same world i grew up in
except i know i recognize this town
now i see very different things in the details
vortex of memory has come back to me
of some effort is applied then you may succeed
rumbling down the road
only helps if you know where you are going or
not a care about where you are headed
maybe the key is who you are with
end of this week like a whole month away
nobody ever again going to treat me like
trash because they don’t want to see me bounce back

complication readiness

correct what you did and
order the manifestation to begin
most of the next conversation is going to take
place next to the view we will never see again
like an island that won’t be there next year
introduction of a peace of mind to those last
complicated apologies
and making notes to yourself about
testing boundaries
in the realm of not being interrupted
only you could have possibly built for your mind
nearby the air goes from calm to excited
reporting back exactly how much change is needed
entrances to my realm are all closed
allowed people are already given permission
daring people strive in order to survive
you know which side you are on but
not where you should be
endure the requirements of idiots
should you ever be challenged by that tempest
simply beat back that storm
