Day Today

ah so this day
was cleverly named today
because its all I have
the only thing that matters
is today
I'll have to make changes
today
removed from the past I'll have to be
today
twenty four hours and then its done
It's all I have
today
move in me
today
why because it's all I have
the only thing I'm guaranteed is today
help me make the most of today
move in me
today




Today


shake me today
all I have is today
I'm urgent and asking
I wont shake it off
spit and pout
just help me today
I don't have seconds to waste
thinking about a yesterday
give me today
help my today
because it's tomorrow
because its in front of me
I'm holding it hot and urgent
don't let today slip
don't let today fall
its all I've got
today today today

Reflect It


when I woke there was
a smile on my face
no junk in my closet
and a rainbow on the wall surrounding an ocean
a rainbow in my closet
a river on my wall
and a smile surrounding me in oceans
it was then I realized
today is going to be a good day

This is

a mom
breeds the sun
a new year
a new dawn
this is life
a cycle of love
every three hundred and sixty five days
a Reunion
today
a celebration for the conception
of your love

Perfect is... then hopefully it's that


where do I look for you
did you go hitchhiking away with a canoe strapped to your back
alongside a stranger named circumstance
pitching tents wherever they may fall
where can I find you
did I ever meet you?
was everything I ever imagined false
I thought I saw you one day speaking about
nothing on a random street
I swore I met you in Canada
even though I never saw your face
maybe all the while the very thing I was looking for
was always in my hand
completing everything I wanted to see
forgetting wherever I ever had a need
and this new patch on my pants looks new
and this old patch on my pants fits fine
I'm waiting with my uniform on
making tips
like
she'll come
don't go fast
slow down
love when they hate
but my favorite is
keep this road because it's never too late
finding you is a wonderful event
to become rich
and never a penny spent

my space addiction

I'll say it once
then I'll say it again
the problem isn't Myspace
the problem lies within
it's a caper, an illusion
a mystery fabricated
a neverending sugar rush
that you've placed in your mouth
your divided hand cloaked with necessity
not my eyes
not my pride
there's a fiddler in your heart missing it's piper
and
knowing this I feel a little lighter
and
knowing this I feel a bit lighter
walking away with the larger part of me under my armpit
dumping the lesser
walking away
as whole as one can be

Just Right

I'd like to fly a kite
but sometimes I don't
I wish I had the full ensemble
but I don't
I'm an empty carriage at times
and this is a requiem mass
for who I hope not to become
but sometimes am
I'm lap down
laying in water not so fresh
If every word I owned was true
I wouldn't be a citizen of earth
I'm halfway done
and almost not there
I am
waiting to feed on cross flesh
take heed
my advice fellow travelers
keep on
train hopping till you get home
a distant ride is bumpy at best

Self Respectfully Loving


how much further
how much longer
what more do I have to become
what else do I have to do
for you?
but this is it
that is all
you aren't it
but I am
I'll go no further
endure no longer
I am what I'll become
I'm wrapped in blessings
a lovely design
to not see something so significant
makes me conclude its something
you'll never embody
so I turn around
smiling
happiness concluding emptiness
and I no longer imagine contempt
never again
to swallow a soul of pity

Wedding the Funeral


If I took door number one
put you in a microwave and selected a minute
I'd see your hair but I'd never know
how it smelled
notice your smile
but never know what it takes to see it
I'd kiss you
but never value the reasons you ever wanted one
It seems
a life is made of more than a pretty emotion
thickly shaped abs
or an erect thought
romance is still an investment
and marriage it seems a bad cliche
but we've made love a moment
wanting an end
we've made love a moment
regrettably I can't click what we've become away
but I'm not a sad poem
unlearn and relearn children
me an we learn for you
take a moment and stretch it to a lifetime
take a minute
to take our time away
take all
the meaningless times away

Setting




The sun will set
I'm promising you a dawn
but an end will come
slowly rolling
right after the noise
silence
sunset will come
sunset will come
an end to that silly killing stroke
cutting your mind
and dividing your heart
in one stroke
the sun will set
I'm turning this page
then the sun's set will come

Throwing Myself

Track: Bonus Track




Bastard Affection
I wonder
If you miss an opportunity does it go away?
If you wanted but never kissed does the feeling stay
If there was a mountain I've never hiked
will the courage I once had fade
The things I've never done and seen
are an opportunity arms length away
but truly I'm writing about you
the one true thing persist ant on one's heart
If I never tell you will you go away
it would seem true love is indecent
exposing itself on a whim
blinding the wanting captor
leaving the tasteless a wanderer
searching for mutual desire

track 13. Untitled

It was always ten steps
That you were behind
Thought you were someone else
And the water builds up
It builds in my eyes
I thought you were someone else
It was always ten steps
That you were behind
Thought you were someone else
You are not my fault
I watched the world in your hands

The Sky is Falling

listen. hear. don't stall.
it's coming, it's coming ya'll
babylon
Babylon will fall
the sky is falling
but society is still yawning
a waking dream
shivering ciudad
covers pulled back
the morning comes
opening the door
expecting a world long forgotten

Tommorow Will Die

tommorow is promised to no man
even those who ruin the hour with a lie
the question to ask oneself is two fold
giving way to a martyr or a penny
for what or whom is that for which you live
a doubt?
a lie?
an image or an obsession?
most importantly
the thing for which you'd ultimately die

Truth's Stakes

If I were honest
I'd say I want to give up
but with formulaic certainty
If that happened
I'd dry up
washed away
my heart would shut up
but what's worse
like the sun dried raisins
my souls contempt
wouldn't let me up
until it rested
leaving me a warm bench
full of plotted land
full of memories
the fondest kind
letting go of despair
touching a strangers bight

Peace Despite

to foward I travel behind
this is the way
going I am neverminding folly
backward I'm traveling persistantly falling
the more I go
the lighter it is
forgiving pain is completing a mount
addictions released and love asertained
backward sojourn is this without haste
confirming a peace is completing pieces
journey this is backwards
pieces up picking
learning utopia
handshaking haste

All Else Failed

Track: Growing in Grace




Eyelid Eight


being adult I traveled then
to a land crawling with ugly
a place that stretched the land thin
where I made the demons gods
and with each delivery giving in
terrorizing my own soul I fought
only to realize I couldn't win
until I became a thought brought blank
in your mind
I'd survive
becoming a child and making a hero
my eyelids now eight
doing anything and making me a promise
young again walking backwards
backing up a future never mine

Persecu-sistance

I can see but I can't touch it
I can smell it but I can't know it
I sip it but I cannot taste it
I look at it but I've never seen it
I love it but I betray it
and in this waking hour I'm told I can still have it
facing a blinding new I'm promised it
with a single solitary decision
a putsch occurs
systemic anomaly
everything effecting what I thought had to be
no longer is
now I realize
a revolution starts when you persecute your own pride
waking up realizing you have to do something about you
the problem

then making "it is"
a "was"

Track: Sunset on 32nd




Dance like you knew Mount Zion

today i return to you
new in a scarf of wind
in this youthful gasp I am in you
through you
I sing and dance atop your holy hill
with one touch my fingertips release the numbness
once again I can know your skins story
and we jump
and dance
and sing
when I know you
breathing is worthwhile
my best friend
explaining why my heart is no longer heavy
lifting minutes and days
a poor man's dance giving all baggage away
