Untitled #2

In ominous shadows and ominous dreams
As she slips away into the night
I give chase and scream
Wait!

She flits through moonlight and cloud
Shadow and shadow and running after a shadow
Chasing and running and my feet are hitting
the rooftops of this city with all their might
As she runs away from me deeper into the night

I can't breathe I can't breathe
You're so much faster than me
I scream and I cry and my tears whip the dark

I broke you I hurt you I pushed you off the ledge
And now I'm falling I'm falling I'm - down!

I look in the mirror and all I see is you
Spectre, don't haunt me, don't leave me alone
Spectre, wait, I didn't mean to say -
Spectre! - she's gone, she's gone, she's gone.

What is Freedom?

What is freedom? Is it the open sea? Is it the wilderness, where only the toughest survive? Is it the blue, blue sky, where birds reign? Do you envy them their wings? I do. What is freedom? Is it the inky blackness of the night, that hides you from prying eyes? Is it the glorious sunrise that takes your breath away? Is it the stillness of the grave? Do you envy the dead their silence? I do. What is freedom? Is it a far-away land where nobody knows you? Is it home where nobody judges you? Is it the blessed mindlessness of the crowd? Is it the beautiful solitude of having yourself to yourself? Do you envy you your thoughts? I do. What is freedom? I envy the birds their wings, the dead their silence, you your thoughts. But, and listen close, Would you like to know what freedom is to me? It is love. My mother's love, wrapping around me like a cocoon, the softest cocoon I have ever known Her soft voice, and her smile And the sound of her voice And her war

Untitled #1

we used to sit and talk so cynically but now you ’ve gone and done it you’ve gone and broken your heart now whom I will laugh with about the tragedy of love you’ve gone and broken your heart and left me behind. I’m sick of it all let’s move out into the sun and not think about love this is so messy let’s clean it up let’s not talk about things we weren’t meant to think about anyway because if you ask me honestly it’s not worth it. don’t mistake me. I’m a hardened skeptic because if I weren’t I would be much unhappier than I am right now love is a spider eating away at my brain so I shoo it away not kill it, because you can’t kill love I shoo it away but it comes back and tenaciously builds cobwebs in the corners of my mind until until I think I might explode under the pressure so I try to step back step away but it dogs my footsteps I’m afraid, a little, of dogs I’m afraid of love that’s it, yes I’m a

Sea And Me

Black waves, roiling on a black sea Jagged stood the rock, piercing a sky torn By the brightest silver My bright blue canoe, my bright blue canoe My white oars, my white anchor My bowed head, and salty tears swelling the sea I cared too much about staying afloat To worry about being struck by sky-electricity Jagged rock, it loomed large Bright blue struck black Blue never stood a chance I can't sail, I can't sail the sea My bright blue canoe, hope-blue canoe, Faith-blue canoe, and trusty anchor My spindly oars, patting the water Reassuring the water As the sea laughed at me And the sea laughed at me And tossed me in the air And the sea dragged me down And tumbled me over Cat and mouse, cat and bird, Sea and me.
