Ride the Roll
When life acquires
A gloss like this,
One cannot help
But glide inside...
....Over the slippery,
Ice white tops!...
...We shared a
Silent
Hate for cops,
As muffled
Siren's
Tumult died...
...I lent my talents
To your Pwim,
And passed the
Sunless hours
Lulled
By that sweet
Nectar of the
Goddess.
Rudely hypnotized
At dusk!...
...And now my soul
Was somewhere else...
...By night I climbed
Into a hole.
When life acquires
A gloss like this,
One cannot help
But ride the roll...

I seek warmth
I seek warmth
My naked empty heart
left out in the cold
Forgotten
I seek warmth
Of the memories we shared
Of both happiness and pain
Holding me together
Keeping me sane
I seek warmth
Inching closer to the fire
Addicted to the feeling of comfort
Not giving any mind to the hole inside
I seek warmth
Too close to the fire
I'm getting burned alive
Not caring
'cause my mind's in euphoria
Enjoying this temporary warmth
As much as I can
For it'll soon dissipate
Thoughtless
I waited today, for your call
A word from you would've been great
Maybe I'm not as important
As you made me seem
But still I wait
I think it's me
It's probably you
Or is it actually me?
Yeah, it's me
I think I think too much about you
When I need to be focusing on me
You're taking up too much room in my brain
But that's not your fault it's mine
And it's making me insane
I know I'm a handful
I know I'm a pain
But I've been there for you
When you were the same
So thanks for nothing
Yet Thanks for everything
You've shown me time and again
That we'll never be more than just friends
So keep your hearts
Your X's and O's
Keep your words- they are empty
I don't want the last rose
Forever Young
Friends are like money, they come and go.
A bi-polar call log of people you used to know.
No one’s to blame.
Time caught up with us.
What a shame, we try to shake off the guilt but the pain is stuck with us.
Chasing an uncertain future, with whoever is willing to put up with us.
Riding the open road, young and neglected.
Failure riding our backs, regret hanging from our necklace.
Castaways, one step from tragedy.
Our curiosity kept us protected.
Generous but wreckless, the world was too much.
Constantly moving, escaping the idea of growing up.
We only feared one thing..
The day we run out of luck.
Normal things
Are the things we see everyday, anything our minds attribute to insignificant.
Dangerous things, however, are also normal.
Does it ever occur to you that danger does not always equal panic alarm in our heads?
Is it not cruel that we do not seem to perceive an upcoming painful event as dangerous until it's too late?
Dangerous doesn't always correspond with a large specimen chasing us for dinner nor does it always mean poisonous foods.
Dangerous could be those things that poison our souls.
Danger is normal. It walks among us. Says hi to us and goodbye. It calls out i love you from a distance and for a time it feels just right. For a little while it makes sense.
When you register your fears and surprise this danger has already took its toll and you no longer are capable of preventing the poison.. the large animal caught on to you and now, you're slowly withering away.. your vitals and passions weakening just the same..

I never understood writers.
I never understood how writers gathered so much of their thoughts to create novels, volumes of stories.
I never understood those that write word after word, verse after verse, novel after novel..
until i began to write about the ache i feel as a result of losing you
I never understood breakdowns.
I never understood the powers of tears that could push through perfect composure...
what kind of power must thyself feel in which pain transcribes into harsh warm tears that can cause a storm to take place..
i never understood such pain until i realized the magnitude of my decisions..
I never understood how one can see images through music
Memories... dull memories that lost their light because they used to cause so much joy..
the right lyric, alongside the right rhythm can cause a strange phenomenon
Your heart begins to mimic the melody, you nerve endings begin to sense the discomfort the pang of resentment and anger because you know you cant blame anything on anyone but yourself..
I never understood the significance a place can hold...
at the end
Because through it all, you never thought that place meant anything..
then you find yourself subconsciously existing there...
hoping maybe.. they'll be there and by chance you'll catch a glimpse of what you've loved and lost..
I could write a million words describing i miss you breakdowns i've experienced that were triggered by songs we used to sing together at that place you loved so much that I didn't really care for but only recently began to love almost as much as i'll always love you simply because i know how significant it is to you..
