I'm hopping this train today.

where the love lasts forever

I'm Open

with you with you
when its morning I feel you
when I run my hands through the grass
you're there
each day passes each day comes
but today
is all I have
and you are "it" today
you are a romantic waltz
a close friend
my words become plain speak
the words of a child
and I remember
provoking mine heart to utter:
"the simplest love
is usually the most likely of explanations"
the warmest feeling
is usually home
though we walk aimlessly
its possible to find a certain destination
for I looked
and found you
I hurt
so you completed me
treading though the streets destitute and alone
I could hardly walk
but you took me in for free
with your open arms
letting my lie abide with thee
oh how glad I was when you said
child come
to me
your savior
and I'll be the one
to set you free


Author's Note: this poem is about Jesus Christ

Aristotle Was A Pirate


nothing is "that which rocks dream of"
look at the ball bounced right off the edge
I see trees and stars and paint
vivid bold and grey
I paint a martyrs solitude
against cave walls not even there
Im alive and pissing folly
I skank into a trip
I play with knives and get cut
sitting on a hill onlooking a light
shining
pressing against my eyelids
this life is not a requiem mass
because I cried for those children in Uganda
Im a beat and my heart is bloody
I can hear
and sing
and song
I think therefore I sweat
I reach out for your confusion
hugging the dead
to consort with folly

Authors Note: the quote in the begining is from Aristotle "nothing is that which rocks dream of" this poem is of course about Athiesm. I of course am not an athiest. .. I love everybody despite thier belief system. Regardless if I agree with them or not.

Dance Dusk Dusk Dance


tonight I wish I had a partner
to dance
to dance through the park and gravel and streets
tonight we would laugh and stop
and weep
and share and lock hands
and time
wouldn't matter
because we'd be dancing together
and we'd talk and concern
and discern and advise then
bear one another getting
closer to walking to and riding to
arriving then acomplishing
coming
closer to a truth one reality
two becoming more than just a flirt
fleeting emotion loving commotion
putting a ring around something
that transcends time so wrong was I
learning you can be part of my
purpose
kissing souls with a "long eventually" find destiny

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

Reach for the Sky

God
be that huge
be that sky
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

Authors note: dedicated to connie aka tampon rockets. keep on reaching for the sky:) happy birthday buddy!

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

when I woke there was

and a smile surrounding me in oceans
it was then I realized
today is going to be a good day

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
