The Flow

The cold wind blows
and swirls past her cheek
while she stares down the road.
Hands in her pockets
and lips pursed,
she awaits her phantom carraige.
The gray wall above her
does not blink
and she does not acknowledge.
Her cheeks would be stained
if not for a lack of caring.
But in this city of blue lights,
where are her angels?

Smile and Salute

Woe to the happy tribes
upon whom we reflect.
Children on a poster,
adults herded in conference.
We sell their noble spirit
and celebrate the beautiful dead.

The Search

And if I could
wrap me around myself,
I think I could
discover something of truth.

Basics

I'm still me,
are you still you?
Or did you
turn into someone else too?

Lifeline

Hold on to me
let me breathe
Hold on to me
make me believe
Don't let go of me
I need to be relieved
Stay firm with me
I know not 
which me I see.

Equity

Who you see
and
who I am
are not
the same person.
But if I
were to show you
who I
really am
you wouldn't know
me.

A Simple Wish

All I wanna do
is to kiss you
all the way through
like the day is new
like we're true

The Gap

Short of greatness
short of glory
I need You
the bridge
to see my safely
to my destination

Haze

I've been stumbling
blind through here
unable to see
what I trip over
Then came a light
cutting through the fog
promising a way out
I trust the light
and I go

Pandora

Closed
have I been
unyielding
and unwelcoming
Then you came along
holding the key
I never knew existed

Aware

Consider this
my suicide note
to who
I used to be.
He had to be killed
if I ever wanted
to live.
I don't know
to attend the burial
with regret
pity
or anger.

Need of the Real

Occasionally I like to play
human for a day
open my eyes to the world
allow my emotions unfurled
at the end I can see the pain
where my soul has a stain
of course they're stained too
because I always follow through
and I think I could learn
the humans freeze and they burn.

Essential

To strip down
all that is extraneous
would leave
only you. 
How wonderful
would that be
if we
could tear everything else
away?

Out There

Sometimes
I let the sky
envelop me
and expand my mind
like a vast ocean
in which
everything exists
and there are
storms
and there is
calm.

Simple

I want to
put a sunflower
in your hair
watch your smile spread
take a picture.

The Enduring Torch

Lord
You light my way!
I can feel
you burning
in my heart
and my soul ablaze
with you
I see
the path
you lit for me -
nothing else
in my vision.

Release

It's hard
to let go
of something you don't have
But I'm gonna try
And I think
you can fly
Not to leave
me behind
just
where I was.

Undetermined

I'm trying to make myself
self-evident with you
but I'm not quite sure
what we're about to go through
It is not knowledge I need
but hope
if I am to grow from this seed
I feel like I can't win
but don't want to just watch
wondering what could have been.

Thrown Back

I hate you
because I hate myself
The way I look
at you
is not true
The way I talk
to you
is not real.
I take myself out
on you
because I can't
take myself out
on me.

Basics

I'm still me,
Are you still you?
Or did you
turn into someone else too?
