For you to listen to my pain as I cried
That time doesn't wait for anyone to listen
To give me the space that I need to express myself
Let my tears speak what my heart can't
Perhaps I really do need to feel the wind on my skin
If I should stumble will there be someone to catch me
Why does the river cut it's own path through the canyon
There has to be a reason humans can't survive without oxygen
Does the heart need to beat to function
Is the soul last to leave the body when the brain dies
The sun needs the sky to wake up
Like the moon needs the stars to sleep
Why does coffee wake people up in the morning
Do people need a stimulate in the morning to start their day
Can clowns exist without having the constant need to scare
Will there be a day where there's no war anywhere in the world
If I Could Ask You

A miracle makes the good moments most
In puzzling light there is a pretty post
Lost in little words longed from lost lands
Dire and deeds come down to a dance
Morning mourns because of the moon's might
Silver no more sage green only in sight
This one night that nears the narrows
Comes along to coo in calm carols
I could fill
the world
with flowers
but that wouldn't
make you happy.
Happiness
is fleeting
at its best
and you
exist somewhere
on that
dark hilltop,
watching
flickering stars,
rising from
a dismal, damp,
Daemmerung
and streetlamps
set into
their forgotten
byways.
Wandering minstrels,
the lost ones,
sing
sadder songs
than most
can bear -
And the world
does not care.I live there
too -
some days,
many nights
when humanity
seems useless
in the vast
panorama
of shattered,
broken-glass
dreams.
Such a
dark mirror
but many pieces
make a whole...
Flowers die
quickly.
They are
meant to -
cut down in
comparitive
youth
but stars
are old.
Streetlamps

ZERO OUT, AT ZERO ALTITUDE AND COUNTING..!
Zero out at zero minus zero T minus 4 and counting
Don't know if I'm coming or going, or falling over
myself; to know myself; to find myself out again
Estranged, stranger days the hands of strange a
stranger way
Away with the pixies, away with the birds,
away with the fairies
Couldn't see the light to concede my plight,
the flight of Angels
Only to sail the seven seas and map the four corners
of the globe
Away in a manger, the twelve Apostles and the Star of
David
The House of the Holy, the Crest of Nobility and Noble
honor
The 13th hour and the nine tenors, a gate, a stairway
to Heaven; and the piper at the gates of dawn
The crescent moon and the Holy Ghost has spoken
Morning has broken, Noelle and the book of God on
a wing and a prayer
God have mercy on their souls for thou shall not commit
a mortal sin
The second coming, Armageddon and the Apocalypse
God almighty, God willing, God have mercy on those
that are of good of will, Amen
I smile...
...not for you,
...not to deceive,
but to keep from drowning...
...in the silence between two breaths.
Not every smile is real.
Sometimes it's a shield...
...a sword...
...sometimes, the last fragment of hope.
I smile...
to keep myself from breaking...
...where no one sees.
Between walls that whisper
what I was never allowed to say out loud.
They say: forgetting is healing.
But I wear my past like a chain.
Cold.
Heavy.
And yet — I call it... my compass.
They think silence is peace.
But silence is screaming...
...in a language no one understands.
Every step creaks on ancient graves.
My chain drags across the floor of my past.
An echo of choices
I never truly made...
...heavy with words that were never spoken.
Still, I do not turn around.
Because hatred...
...taught me love.
Like fire...
...teaches the seed
how to grow
through ash.
I went over the edge.
And I came back.
Without wings.
Without a god.
Without a promise.
The eye watches...
Above me.
Within me.
And I feel
I love you all
I am so ashamed
I feel your souls
as they twist with rage
I sense the warmth
that you hold so dear
and seek the comfort
that is always near
Soulfully, mournfully
the children moaned.
In the forest as the fire burned.
The hazy day had faded
into a surrealistic dream.
An ancient, scared shroud
covered the world
shielding us from
the darkest deadliest night
We journeyed to the ocean
to hear the white dove's song
Our souls realized our essence
as our bodies died
I love you all
I am so afraid
Just the briefest of looks
then a shallow grave
The bridge was crossed
in the storm that day
Children had come to show the way
This lonely man...
had no more tales to tell
His cold, dead eyes
showed only a vacant, hollow, stare
It’s still here you know
Left behind
Beside the rose
Have you forgotten?
The smell of summer’s rain
Purple clover fields
softly sprinkled
with ginger rays
The palace tower
still gently sways
Awaiting your touch
Awaiting the day
Do not shed a
Rain skitters down the window,
little beads of dew,
collected until a necklace,
is what a web turns into,
gathering glinting droplets,
on its fragile sticky strand,
while tree branches are letting go,
leafs fall and sway then land,
atop ever murmuring waters,
foreign whispering stream,
it reminds me of coffee,
how clouds stir like cream,
oh so dark and bitter,
until you mix a little light,
much alike an orange sunset,
as it welcomes in the night,
its luggage chilly darkness,
from a gentle winters dawn,
snowflakes born so shyly,
in a moment they melt gone,
reminding me I miss you,
since the tide pulled you away,
I wish you home tomorrow,
even if not today.
Grim whispers permeate the air ....
So over it already
Over this stress & anxiety
Need to put this behind me
Wanna start anew
-
My soul is very exhausted now
This heart of mine is sore from fighting
This year has been a jarring panic
Trying to be stress free seems impossible
Overwhelmed down to my bones
Intoxicated by the chaos of my nightmares
-
Put on a mask pretending to be happy
Stepping uneasily into this world with a fake smile
Playing along with other's ideas of what happiness is to survive
The weight on my shoulders makes things difficult
-
Putting on a smile when I am unhappy is painful
Struggling to keep this facade of happiness going
Nothing seems to keep this positive energy alive
My heart went frigid like the winter's whisper
I am numb from this paralyzing abyss of stress
Screaming into this void of swirling darkness
.... Those whispers hunt my soul in the dark
Over It

To my near reflection
Oh my lovely soul seeker, you're blinded by the suns rays. The sun is not that beautiful, the sun is far too bright to see beyond itself. Don't look to the moon, my lovely dream chaser, for the moon is among stars and glows so beautifully, it casts a gentle light, but do not look to the moon for it is distracted by the stars that shine like fire crackers and fire works caught then have their deaths delayed. My warm heart, do not seek out the mountains, the canyons, the forests, the woods for their natural splendour, not the rivers, the lakes, springs, waterfalls and ponds for their elusive answers. Not to the sea, the sky, the fire, or the...
In this world of dream-forms
Awake only for seconds at a time
Is there an end to this suffering
This incomprehensible longing
Of my every cell to burst open
And become boundless water again
Is there such a thing as pain
In this default state of alertness
I let every fibre of my being twitch
With a force almost nuclear
Until there is but a whirlwind of chaos
Destructive and devouring
A hunger that feeds upon itself
Self-perpetuating
Self-habituating otherness
Amounting to everything and nothing at all
And from this place of nothingness
I carry with me the depth of the oceans
The spirits of killer whales
The forcefulness of wind
The darkness of the wisest minds
That dwell beneath the earth
Seared into my glass-like skin
The mark of wilderness itself

cranchiidae ~ eigengrau
treading across god's skutterudite eye like a f l o a t e r traveling by ghostlike; as we sun der with the morning star that surrenders at the recurring aurora 'fade away', i say to the fallen angel of heaven's entryway
farewellfarewell
sos whispers my dreams in a hoarse voice; they cease to exist
The window reveals the haunting
A picture of a face with wanting
No way out of the room for the lame
Wanders if outside there is some fame
Sick with all of the green lime light
The source there but not enough bright
Medicine and pills dull the longing pain
No emotions can be found again by a grain
Again drifting off into free and space
The story does not end in a fast nor slow pace
Continuing on from a battle with no line drawn
The fight never ends until the color of dawn
Barely a whisper heard from the one that aches
A body found is felt with tears shaped in lakes
And the lakes traveled elsewhere to quivered wakes
Everywhere and everyone felt this loss
No one with bad blood today does not feel the boss
Seeking solace and comfort they put the body to rest
They traveled over to one direction through hest
Scribbles and peaks were the tracks left behind
For today is the only day the path is lined
A road never crossed was paved the way for the mourn
All who travel all
Shattered glass on a moonless night,
Fragments of promises scattered wide,
Each shard a memory of what might have been,
Reflecting only the void inside.
Trust, a phantom in the mist,
A whisper lost in howling gales,
A hand extended to empty air,
Where hope's last ember pales.
Roots wither in poisoned soil,
Nourished by tears of the betrayed,
Twisted branches reach for skies,
That offer no reprieve, no aid.
In the caverns of the heart,
Echoes of laughter turn to stone,
Cold and hard, they line the walls,
Where warmth has never shone.
Bridges crumble into churning seas,
Connections severed, ties unbound,
In the depths of solitude,
No anchor can be found.
Trust, a currency long devalued,
In a world where truth holds no sway,
A relic of a bygone age,
Now dust upon the way.
Shadows lengthen, day by day,
In a realm where light can't penetrate,
Where every touch leaves scars unseen,
And love succumbs to fate.
In this tapestry of despair,
Woven with threads of broken dreams,
Trust lies

Dust on this Earth
For the whiff of the moment,
With closed eyes, timeless:
Everything we ever dreamed,
Everything we ever missed,
Slowly passes by and becomes free.
The moment, it is over ...Everything we are,
Is only dust on this earth,
Like fine grains in the wind.They are the same old songs,
People keep playing and singing,
Like a lonely drop on its path of life,
Which disappears in a huge ocean.
Everything we ever do, fades and goes by,
Like a withered leaf that is blown away from the wind.Everything we are,
Is only dust on this earth,
Like fine grains in the wind.Nothing is forever,
Just heaven and earth survive the time.
Time does not stand still, it ...
Charcoal clouds spiral high above.
Thunder claps as lightning strikes
Over the world lacking love
With mountains towering high with ended spikes;
One can stand with a rubber glove.Ripping through the cloud, the lightning comes,
Walloping the earth with a hefty blow.
The thunder claps, the thunder rolls, and drums:
It’s the waltz of life’s violet glow.Hike the rocky pathway
To the living clouds darkening the sky.
Reach upward toward it and pray.
Whistle along as it gives out a cry.Lay in the moist grass
And watch the clouds dance.
Watch the sky as it grows in mass
And wait for your chance.Fall in love with the storm.
Absorb the ecstasy of t...
Today you told me you were living in a
Place that scared you…you called it the
Cup of stormsAnd I didn’t understand at first and I am
Sorry for that, I am. But I listened to you
Tell me whySorrow swirled around you while I was
Gazing into your tired eyes I wanted to
Make it betterIt was like laying in cupped hands under
A night sky that had no stars and there’s
No one thereYou’re alone in a dark night of the soul that
Seems to go on forever, neverending, never

A fugue of pounding worthlessness I tell you

Dying Light of a Desert Sun
you always do it
tearing from my eyes
precious moisture
that's reserved
for more important matters

behind arrogant sneers

taken from secret places
when I choose to hide
things that mean

What is this thing called: "artist block?"
And does it come from lesser stock?
Is it a fugue I simply cure?
Is it from here or where YOU were?
Is it a malady of mind?
Is it a plague the lepers find?
Is it a beast that preys on fear?
And...is that why it can't touch me, here?
Is it superstitious and obscene?
Is it something that remains unseen?
Is it terror only fools embrace?
Is it rage and jealousy you face?
What is this thing called: "artist block?"
And why does it leave your talent locked?
Why is it something I can't see,
Leaving only MY mind free?
If I dare to write
If I dare to dream
Will I succeed in my search for peace?If I dare to write
If I dare to dream
Will the rebirth change me?
Will it wipe out my past?I shiver for the writing
Because with the writing comes the longing
And with the longing comes the dreaming
And with the dreaming comes the future
Shadows race past your window,
Mirrors crack tonight.
Children sing in the moment
Of strange, unheard delights.
The sky ignites with fire,
The moon sheds her mask.
Winds whisper promises,
Children seal the house.
A tree has fallen in the forest,
Frozen to the ground.
Shadows shatter with your worries,
Leaving you with only doubts.
Time has passed,
Like sand into glass,
Where the heat of lightning is stored.
Each day is born
From an old, grey soul,
While the night awakens,
Brittle and cold.
Swaying tall grass
Is overcast
By swirling leaves in a storm.
Each moment will last,
From the first tear cast,
Into the silence
Of the darkness before.
Forgotten pebbles lie captured
In streams frozen in time.
Leaves are scattered awkwardly
By a bitter, cold breeze.
Snow-covered mountains stand,
The dark night sings her songs.
Youth play in the hot summer sun,
Days last forever,
As each new days begun.
Colors are painted on a sky never seen,
Our visions make sounds,
For our senses to
I see them shuffling
along the streets
Eyes fixed dreamily down
upon their feet
They are alive
but unaware
Every step brings them closer
to their own private hell
Thousands of whispers swirl
inside the empty air
Unheard now for a million years
In the distance
it’s starting to form
The final storm
The winds
have changed
Life fades
like a dying ember
in the rain
My neighbor waves
I look up
and feel ashamed
How many more days
inside this absurd cage?
Butterflies flutter freely
Over an ancient burial ground
We've buried all our sorrows there
Hoping they won't be found
The burial ground
Is so cold and desolate
The butterflies just flutter above
Not knowing what they've found
Every now and then
I see a glimpse of it
A fleeting flash of something
What is it?
I just don't know
But if you've ever
caught a peek of it
before it was gone
You'll understand
It makes me feel nervous,
scared, dismayed, frightened
And so very, very small
Maybe it's because
I can't get there all the
My thoughts plague me,
in the darkest hours
where stars linger above me
while the moon gently shimmers
sometimes hidden behind dark taunting clouds.My worries haunt me,
ghosts of my past dance before my eyes,
trapping me in my own dismal alleyway
afraid to face daylight,
to face my silent fears.My fearless thoughts prod me,
their honesty, alarming
as black and white as the moon and night sky,
cut throat, steadfast and unshakeable
tall, fearless, wise like an old oak tree.My head spins as I torture myself,
fighting with two sides of myself,
teasing my fears into line,
pleading with my inner spirit
hoping to find reason.To find peace.
