On DreamsDreams are powerful. Dreams often act as inter-dimensional gateways of human experience. Last night I had a dream I can now merely hold up its torn, detached, unmatched pieces to the light and, in some attempt of seeing my dream more clearly, go blind. There were people perched in trees, swaying to music; some had hair in all different colors, their bodies resembling the Egyptian Ka. They blew rings of smoke into the air and some turned their human eyes with a birdlike quickness to watch me. Only I was not me. I was someone else and everyone else; we’ve had those experiences haven’t we? Zooming in and out of faces, feeling what theyOn Dreams5 years ago in Philosophical More Like This
A sinking ship...The waves crash around us,A sinking ship...4 years ago in Open More Like This
The foam is harsh and white,
Splintering wood surround us,
The moon our only light.
As we drift beneath the waves,
I float and wonder, staying brave,
As ice cold water fills my lungs,
I only feel euphoria.
Death acts like an anodyne,
As I breathe in salty brine,
I feel no pain, I feel no fear,
There's no more moonlight, way down here.
As I breathe out, ebullition,
The ship tears itself in two,
A perfect natural demolition,
There's nothing left to do.
I see her sinking next to me,
Her perfect flesh incarnadine,
If there's anything I haven't seen,
It's female beauty more supreme...
The SleepShe meandered into the bitter room, bushed as typical by an extensive day’s drudgery.The Sleep3 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
The latest of the fall’s cicadas twittered from the lively oak in her yard.
She fastened the window, red hangings relaxing to a stationary posture.
She transferred into her night attire, slack, silky.
Turned out the light.
And plunged into the crisp white.
Embraced by the pristine coverlets.
Enfolded into the feathery bedspreads.
Immersed by a downy pillow.
Drown from the tired imaginings of obsolete.
All in zeal to begin over tomorrow.

I don't know when to run, when do I leave this time
You keep saying you're sorry, you don't mean to hurt me,

It starts with a pinch and next thing you know it's a fist
I actually believed there was no way you'd ever do that to me
I never thought you'd hit me, but now you're not so far from maybe
and truth is, it scares me, I'm afraid of what you're becoming,

Another dozen lies.
And here I am again,
Tears falling from my eyes.
Here I am again,
Caring way too much.
All I did was sacrifice,
But still it's not enough.
Here's another razor,
So tempting on my skin.
Do I keep on fighting?
Or do I just give in?
Here's some some time wasted,
On another stupid boy.
You put on such a good front,
But I was just your little toy.
But I still don't understand,
How it could all just be a lie.
If it really was,
Then why can't I say good bye?

with a simple "Hello"
and end abruptly
with a sad "Goodbye"
Memories are worth treasuring
weather they bring a smile
or weather they bring tears
the are a gift to keep forever
even if they are something as simple
like a game of "Mad Libs" at a friends
or even something life-changing
like true love's first kiss
passing notes, holding hands, watching sunsets
memories that I treasure
memories WE share
and i hope you keep forever
people grow up, people grow apart
it's bound to happen
weather you want it or not
but i hope you will always treasure
the memories we share.

So cold your breath fills like ice;
But for my baby today it's turbo weather.
The roar of the engions.
We rev up as we get the first yellow light.
No time to loose.
The second yellow light hits.
It's almost time to go.
The green light means go!
We're gone as soon as the button is pushed.
Down to second gear, right off the start.
The lighted blur trying to pass me;
no way were going to stop!
Down to third gear, not even half way down.
I hear the hissing as the other car gets NOS sprayed in the engion.
No way!
This is going to be mine!
We punch into fourth, barely keeping ahead now.

Mind racing
As we stand together,
Not wanting to say goodbye.
I see the sparkle in your eyes
the depth that they hold
And am lost in your gaze
Slowly you step towards me
Eyes still locked with mine
Only your hand touches me
As you sweep the hair
Off my face
I step closer
We wrap our arms around each other
And I pull tighter
And feel your embrace
Not wanting to let go
Heart pounding louder
Mind racing faster
You look at me
And then I know
I close my eyes
And feel your warm,
Soft lips meet mine
Heart still pounding
But slower now
Mind still racing
But not so brisk
I look at you again

Old memories and photos,
so long they caused me pain.
Everything about you,
would make me so ashamed.
For so long I thought you were like the others,
and for so long I was wrong.
It was my mistake,
and because of that you're gone.
I was so ready to put you in the past,
forget what we had,
forget about us.
I didn't know at the time,
but what you did was for the best.
We shared a wonderful friendship,
and we shouldn't put that to rest.
Now looking at the pictures,
bring a smile to my face.
We shared pure happiness,
and that doesn't have to end.
We can't have what we had then,
but we can still share something great.

Everytime I close my eyes,

It's time to face the facts,

I can't go back and fix it.
I see you with her,
I die a little inside.
Because what's the point,

if you don't care I'm breathing.
What's the point of living,
if you don't care that I'm alive.
But I know it's all my fault.
I made the mistakes.
But if you knew the tears I've shed,

How are you supposed to find yourself,
behind that painted on face?
How are you supposed to see yourself,
when you're hidden behind a fake smile?
You're all so plastic,
you're all so fake.
You've lost yourselves in a sea of similarity.
Don't you realize they can see right through you?
The ones you try to impress.
They don't really care.
So why do you fake it?
And why do you pretend?
The truth is we really don't care,
about the people we see on TV.
Sure they're fun to look at,
but their lives aren't our reality.
All that make-up can't hide,
What you really feel inside.

I was going to post something I had written a long time ago; a time when depression had wound its way into every aspect of my life and as I re-read what I had once written, I realized I had changed. But how, how had I changed? What caused this sudden change? And part of me thought maybe it was because of Tony but then I realized no, I had changed before him.

the ones you refuse to bear
I will watch you
when you are so quiet
and you turn your head and you get
so small
I will see you when you are so open
and vulnerable and all I want to do
is hold on tight
I will sit and try not to stare
while I see how much you change
and how quickly it comes.
I will have sat and crossed off the hours
at 5 minute intervals
avoided the time goes faster
My breathing will sharpen while I wait alone in the
deserted carpark.
But you came, quietly and then I realised
it was all going wrong for us.
