"Failure"

Failure

Fails to see the beauty

In today

Fails to see the light

Just slips away

Fails to feel your touch

Fails to feel your soul

Fails to feel what it's like

to not be alone

"What I Run From"

WHAT I RUN FROM

A light
A glow
Is all I see

To taste
What’s real
Is what I seek

To feel
To need
To understand
Why I do

To chase
To see
What I run from
Is me

"The Rain"

THE RAIN


The rain is cold
It chills my skin
As it rolls down my arm
Down my hand
Down my finger
Pools with the mass
Now surrounding my hand

The rain is cold
Though I do not move
I do not shelter myself from it's
Empty, lonely grasp

The rain is cold
It clings to my body
Holds me to itself
Traps us in its
Ever growing intimacy
So tender its touch
So icy its hold on me

The rain is cold
In solitude we sit
Peaceful despair
We now share

The rain is cold
It chills my soul
Dilutes my resolve
My colours bleed
I become unseen
Washed away
With the day

"Take a Moment"

TAKE A MOMENT

Take a moment
Strip away all these lies
Don’t lead me down the wrong path
Take a moment
Give me a moment
I will find my own demise

Take a moment
Live without sin
Just for a moment
It’s harder than it looks

Take a moment
Cover up all your lies
You don’t think anyone notices them
Take a moment
Give me a moment
I’ve got my own lies to hide

Take a moment
Make a mistake, take a picture
Forget what you learned again
Take a moment
Give me a moment
I can play the fool as well

Take a moment
Live without stupidity
Just for one moment
It’s harder than it looks

Take a moment
Sit down and face your fears
Lie in fear of what you have caused
Take a moment
Give me a moment
While I wait and fear the sunrise

Take a moment
Look at the pain you cause yourself
Lose sight of happiness
Take a moment
Give me a moment
While I take my share of self abuse
Take a moment
Live without regret
Just for one moment
It’s harder than it looks

Take a moment
Try to forget the nightmares
Steal away the dreams you once had
Take a moment
Give me a moment
I lie awake at night as well

Take a moment
Forget about how it was supposed to be
Time passes no matter what
Take a moment
Give me a moment
It seemed so simple when I was young

Take a moment
Live without love
Just for one moment
It’s harder than it looks

"Show Me"

SHOW ME

I need to find a way
To occupy my mind
To unbury the passion
I know exists deep inside
The vehicle I drive
Of flesh and bone
Distracts me from
My clearest path
Pollute my inner self
Show me clearly
The understanding I lack

Sip of wine
Warms my veins
Clears my mind
Of worries I create
Distract me for a while
So I can feel
Where I need to be
Until I burn again
Burn alive
In the problems I create

Warm summer night,
Cool breeze in the air,
Quiet patter of foot steps,
Drift through the air,
My sweet kitty lays against me,
So I know he is always there...

"I Am At Peace"

I AM AT PEACE

I feel the answer
To my questions are near
My head upon your thigh
With your breath
I see your stomach rise
I see your skin pulse
With every beat of your heart

I feel a thought
The answers to all my questions
Lies beneath your skin

I am at peace

I have not failed
If I live inside you
To hide inside you
Where I want to be
Pull your skin over me
Sleep and dream
You give me life

I have the strength
That time has taken from me
Hide inside your arms

I am at peace
