right now.
there are no tears
but eyes
just a smile
and a bright moon
I'm inside
of a funnel
leading to a pasture
milking neon grass
thats hugging a tree
on a path
going fast
unaware of any signs
no red
just green

I'm crossing now...
a street with no lamps
guided by that bright circle
in the night
unaware and not a care
following my mother nature
your eyes
and red hair

Seven Seas, One Blackbeard

Im sorry I fear
I
projected this on you
and all you were looking for
was sea
I
apologize
because in your eyes I thought I saw
a beauty a stout flower fourishing in a storm
content in a foot of snow
miraculously warm
my dear my love with a mistaken identity
forgive me because I'm sorry
I mistook my feelings on you
for this dream's touch feels like a dark letter
and I wonder
will I ever reach a dream inside
to lose what one never lost
dining far to often with contingency
having none with whom to spoliate
leaving lonely a pirate's lot
caring less for the ship and a voyage lost
looking ahead
with no first mate to embark

Oatmeal Ax

I'm sitting on a ray of light
It slipped pass the window
my floor got lucky
I'm waiting for an understanding
or something to wilt inside
here again but not wanting to be
looking back
wanting to go on
Im hurting
begging my sanity
then I look down
in my hand
is a notice
reading: two lefts truly do make one's guts right
a wrong direction is just a path
and knowlege comes to men weary and traveled
bonding one's character is a roadtrip
hold on and fight until the hour of late
unmasking is the nature of the distance
but perfection will bloom with death knocking at your gate
sufficed to say alongside that note
I held steadfast to hope

be as big as is to me
the fear I feel is to often
and there are no breaks in between
but if you were that huge
if you were that big to me
no men would be giants

selah

you don't grant wishes
but your words are promise
command me Lord
vanquish me my enemy
and when I awake give me another
taking away all serpents
and entrusting my soul
giving life to the living

ah so this day
was cleverly named today
because its all I have
the only thing that matters

I'll have to make changes

It's all I have

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

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

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

your divided hand cloaked with necessity
not my eyes
not my pride
there's a fiddler in your heart missing it's piper

you aren't it
but I am
I'll go no further

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

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

with one touch my fingertips release the numbness

dark
dank
polite
feeling around now
a straight wall not a prison
outside this dark space
a tree
floating through to here
a light
so unlike this
so unlike me
out there apart from this portion
snow preserving certain places
for play
but in here
something curious remains
a solid thing
all can look at with a smile
like tye die
Its still here
and I keep looking out and away

looking down at my bent rims and worn tires
but I can still make it to my point
amidst all these silly delays and affairs
petty distraction and problems
In any given day
I can stop and look up at the beach
sit on the sun
feeling the warmth of "things aren't so bad cus' I can still do this"

following a road
paved with smiles
making flowing formations

why some days they werent as sweet
days they weren't packed with joy
and some days they were soggy and beat
not to mention the few days they were perfectly perky

I was sure he'd tell me
and sure enough this is what he said
each day they were good to eat but because of yourself
you only enjoyed a few
each day they were steamed to perfection
each bean had not a care in the world
I made this entire world for your ecological consumption
taking into consideration

Bike poem that got wrote

up that bridge
the long bridge across night
lights along the side
me we rode
night time was the length of the bridge that was spent
on my bike We rode across each other
and I whisper
tonight tonight you'll make me appreciate tonight
my feet are worn
but steady
with you I'll ride
making me appreciate the brooklyn lights
street lights
you roll
I stake
putting your friendship beside me
comforting me
knowing I can see now
friends like you sustain and last
with a bike and hope
now one
proceeding up a stocky hill

We're all the same

I think an obvious statement is we are supposed to be ourselves. In today’s society I constantly see people living up to images. Now I know everyone instantly gives the affirmation that they are a complete individual separated from consumerism but I think in an odd way that attesting to perfection. We all need to learn and none of us have an inner utopia. Nonetheless you can I believe we can be individuals to a large degree.

Individuality is essential for a society to survive. Survival can be defined on multiple levels. There is the Economic, Social, Psychological and so forth. It’s important especially today to understand the importance of individual contribution to the collective whole. We should most certainly understand that our individual action have a direct impact on every little detail of future events. Individuality is the foundation of survival. It’s how we were designed to exist. Take that away and were all “dancing in a graveyard” as headnoise (punk band) put it.
There is a quote that goes “we classify and categorize to keep ourselves divided. We are individuals not the images divided.” How true is it that the real walls aren’t corporate structures necessarily or neighborhoods we have fears of going into. The dividing lines aren’t locked doors or hostile faces. They aren’t even social classes or the person you said “wasn’t your type” so you “denied their application”. No the true walls are the one we put up in our heart. The idols of our self images. Dividing us and simultaneously destroying a beautiful part of all before its born.

A Straight edge band called With Honor has an amazing song when will we learn. Its a song about unity and the strongest part of the song is just a phrase “when will we learn were all the same” Its so true that we divide ourselves, make a connection with someone we say “we connect with” then look for the division again. Essentially I believe we are all the same. Oddly enough Ill give you the last point of my thoughts from a source that none of you expect but mostly to prove a point. When I majored in Advertising later getting a degree in it there was a system that advertisers used in order to effectively reach coughmanipulatecough consumers. One particular area of this system was illustrated by something called Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs. Notice the top is self actualization. It’s described in terms of the thing that will give you the ultimate satisfaction basically. Or in others words there is something everyone desires. Advertisers go in knowing this and try to exploit that. My point is this. We are essentially all the same and there is something that will fulfill us all. There are things in our lives that we live and die trying to achieve. The biggest of those things is perfect love. We err so much trying to find it. Advertisers know that and they go after our lust for images and so on. Our Lust becomes a profit margin, all the while getting us away from the very thing that could make our society better. A lack of true individuality and division is simply an expression of the wall in our hearts.

All of the things aforementioned begs a question: what came down first? Was it the Berlin wall or the walls in their hearts? We need to search for our fingerprints or they may be lost to us for good.

you did fret
but I was there
I moved some things out of your way
only to have the thing moved back again
still I loved you
I was always with you
and all who are destitute
I'll open rivers
place trees where you cant breathe
and turn the wilderness into peace
I'll turn confusion into known
doubt to right
I'll visit you everyday
knowing exactly what to say
my persistance will be the thing you lean on
my hand will be there
when you refuse
and when you hold it

I am the missing part of the art
your heart
the thing I made to form
you and I
when I miss you I cry
hope
Im the link
Im the wishing well with pennyful hope
let me hold you and wayward shouts will cease
Im your champion
your closest friend with no doubts

that night I wandered off
to a place where most circus goers don't

I met a clown
we met
and stared
until finally he spoke
he said
this is a day if I wished to I might
stride into you anounced
like I've done so many others
and take with me what's there
cherishing whatever is given
you see
each time a humanoid meets another
is a instant to touch them
each passing encounter
is an opportunity to get past that glass door
the glass door to their soul
mine passes in an instant
laugh makeup and all
missed in a joyful moment
all focused on a face of paint
never peering
never curiously independently moving
past the glass
son I say to you
smash the glass and go past the door
we are few
the men who wander
don't waste your moments
good tidings wont wait
and after that

the old man river with staffs
giving us the one thing that was in our hands
so I smile at this thing thats never happened
stars seem silly but relevant
so Im gripping this fortune by the neck

Turn it Around

Track: Operative Word

xFaith & Fightx

On this day there is still hope
today an odd buggy day
this strange twenty four hour period
can be filled with a positive outcome
I can stay in the fight if I choose
someone is reading mine eyes
hanging on me
wishing me to pull through
so they'll have a reason to want
this morning is mine
I have to persist
So that's it
I've decided
no more cashing in on emptiness
there is hope for me and us and you
bond this to your memory
some things will never fade

Track: You and I both

Nonetheless


gallivanting is what I'm doing
at the local corner coffee shop
mug half full
as I
sip another drop
you walk in
I saw your light eyes and flower dress
and on your blinding eyes
traveled my new hope
I almost passed on the notion
to embrace the reality
that people do
anymore
my imagination was likened to one sinking
but one glance at your eyes
and I'm changed
somehow a pogo stick is possible
somehow a soul like yours are possible
I think I'll kiss your mother
and woo the very moment
I was reborn

Perfect Love Eternal

soaked in tears I lift my head
and an unexpected event followed
with my worn enemy in retreat you spoke
I came closer heart pounding
you said I didnt come
to stop your metal solo
your pir·ou·ette
I'm not here to delay your dancing beat
I didn't come to condemn you
or your habits
infatuations
I'm here to be let in
I'm here to always have a place to hug you
my decision is to always love you
the hope of my heart you'll never be able to fully concieve
is to have me in yours forever
for you to glimpse for once small tiny lifetime
something that can never end
put down your chopping block
take your lashes out of the butchers line
lets skip in the moonlit park
after dark
you know im about to tell you to wait for dawn
but you've never done it
you know the beauty of the morn
but you've never seen it
this lifetime is going to be one spent
trying to grasp three words
words you've heard
but have not percieved
words you think you know
but you dont
I spoke in poetry enigmas and riddles
and still you have no peace
then he said perfect love eternal
leaving me alone
running a race to understand

Some Mistakes you never stop paying for

Track: I Hate Rock N' Roll

Urbis sucks

my caps are fingerprints
and the middle one is rising
for you for you
flow this because i stick
two words
fuck you
you eyeball my verblage
telling me to frown
like a crab in a bucket
keeping my rating down
so you dont drown
my rythm is my own
my spellcheck on this one
nonexsistant
you dont understand a flow that hasnt been taught
so Ill make this next sentence stick out and poke you
im larger than your university textbook
bursery scholar rhymes
you dont perceive what you dont get
you hate me
then love your own
this discontempt is disallowed
so Ill run free
Ill write free
and when the world sings my poetry accapella
we will hold hands
us unranged dreamers
no longer wondering what a world would be like
unfettered and free


AUTHORS NOTE: yea this is an angry poem haha. I was getting anoyed with people thinking they know how to write better than others. They basically review others work as if they were the "messiah" of poets. meanwhile they are on the same site trying to get published... morons... anyway yea haha i wrote this... all the mistakes are on purpose and like all my poems they are off the top of my head. (98% id say) Interestingly enough they can all be analyzed as well. Im big on indivuality.. what can I say you cant take the punk rock out of me.

Elbow Linguini

there are no elbows in new york
people brush past you all the time
connect and contact
but no one has elbows in this ginormous city
no one stops and gasps at the air
or stands in awe along with the sky
no one picks cherries
no one sits in the grass
its a perdicament people have in the city
because with no elbows you can't lean back
and remember a day
filled without skyscrapers and cobblestones
when people enjoyed fruit and apple picking
square dancing with thier elbows
through empty sidewalks

With my Bassoon


with my bassoon I play a song
the ambiance of the morning
a ladder of despair
of hope
with my bassoon captives are set free
in a way no lock pick could fathom
with my bassoon I'll walk the pacific
cross waters
carry tears
my music is spice and ginger
on every french baker mans dreams
would you dare for some inspiration
I'm the mellow tune in your last living room
the one you used to remember
because my music is nstalgia
I'm the St marks street you used to know
I'm an odd sock or a lantern in Stockholm
with my bassoon I'll smash your writers block
giving food for you pen
feeding the imaginations

I kiss my bassoon
communicate with the thing
knowing when it breaks
I'll reach deep inside
thanking God
pulling another out
creating tunes once more
my next bassoon will be green
and I'll play through a winters delightfully cool breeze

Track: Redemption Song

Redeem these days

Today I found a wheel made of clay
in the ground in the dirt
it wasnt supposed to roll but it did
I wasnt supposed to find it but i did
now I have that chance
I have that second chance
I'll roll now
right cross route 66
explaining nothing
leaving one note:
"these wheels are bright
with an intensity I thought I'd never see"
then Ill roll
with joy
expecting no more
laughing out potholes
winning my losses
hearing me once again
