Discordant Soliloquy

Shifting moods and turning thoughts
Erratic and eccentric energies
Chasing the concept in an attempt
to understand the why
Can we hold a conversation?
Can we hold hands tonight?
Can we get along in this world?
There’s this vision that rests inside my brain
There’s this ambition within my heart
There’s this dream I can’t forget
We are running, escaping, lost, and seeking
We dance without touching
We dance to the tune of the You-and-Me-Tragedy
Listen to the whispers of the Story
Listen to the tell of Ancient Memories
There’s a solution to all this
There’s a strategy I may have missed

There Was a Time

There was a time
when I felt connected to this world.
There was a time
when my heart sang
because of my dreams
and the hopes I had.
Now, I feel I am broken and lost…
adrift among a sea of emotions,
bereft of the things which made me whole.
I question whether I should fade away
like the forgotten and lost gods of long ago.


Our Story…

Sleep well my dear and may your dreams
take you to where I reside
deep within the Opulent Hall of Dreams
You will see I did not leave our love behind
Please, take my hand and fly with me…
This is our story…
Yours and mine.


I dream of you and kisses in the rain
I dream of you and feelings I can’t explain


When I think of you…
Many thoughts come to mind…
Of possibilities
and thoughts of what could have been
and what could be…
To taste your lips
and to touch your flesh…
To hear you speak
and to feel your breath…
Whisper those words to me
and tell me your dreams


She quells the demons that destroy
She cools the fire that burns
She calms the storm that rages
She soothes the beast within
She is my Columbine
and I, her Harlequin…


I am here for you…

Just know that, when…
the weight of the world is crushing in,
and everything seems at its darkest,
and it feels like world is falling apart,
and you feel you have no place to belong…

I will be there…
to help bear the burden of the world,
to brighten things so you can see,
to help put the pieces back together,
to welcome you with open arms…


The Nowhere Man

I am the Nowhere Man
even amongst those who know me
I am forgotten…
like a dream upon waking
like the Lost Gods of long ago
I am the Knight in Rusted Armor
riding across the shattered landscapes of warped realities
chasing windmills and the Love who is lost to me


Forgive Me…

Forgive me my friend…
forgive me for not being there
forgive me for not saying good-bye
I wasn’t able to make good on my promise to visit
I was too foolish, too self-absorbed, too far away
I was too late…
I’ve failed you….
I’ve allowed too much to happen, too much to distract…
I’m sorry for leaving when I did so long ago…
It never gets easier
never ceases to hurt
when you lose someone you care about
when you lose a friend…


Coffee Confessions

Let’s talk about the passion
and the passing of the moments
Let’s talk about your dreams, both broken and new
What do you want?
What is your wish?
Let’s talk about the passion
and that first romantic kiss
Do you still want in?
The day is over and the moon is in sight
Here’s your coffee and my confession
Light another cigarette and show me your scars
I’ll show you my world and all that it entails…
Shall we continue to run from this destructive day?
