Safe

Take my hand and pull me away
from this wreck that is my life
lift me up and help me fly
to a place in your arms where all is ok

I need your direction
my beautiful one
the love and peace
I can only find in your arms

So tired of being who I am
escaping behind my wall of despair
Fearing the silence,
empty space in my mind.

Take my hand and pull me away
from this wreck that is my life
Comfort me in the shelter of your arms
As you fold you all around me
I am safe

Thoughts

Sometimes, I just lie there awake
In sleep there seems there's no escape
There is this constant urge to write
An addiction with no end in sight

I tossed and turned, then turned some more
Up from my bed I paced the floor
Just cannot get this from my mind
An impulse, now and then unkind

To another room, I flip the light
On paper here some lines I'd write
There are times many, or maybe a few
But from my pen the words would spew

And when I thought I'd had my say
Turned off the light, then back to bed
Where I now I think I could sleep
Still in my mind, the thoughts do creep

At times I'd pray they'd melt away
These thoughts that steal my sleep away
For if I knew a way at best
I'd stop these thoughts, so I could rest

Change
Current mood: contemplative
Category: Writing and Poetry

Change

Change is coming, my friends have said
The words have echoed, filled with dread
For at this time and at this place
I won't survive through more disgrace

I take a breath but get no air
I cannot feel and dare not care
For if I do and darkness reigns
I will not live through that much pain

When I let go and set you free
It severed parts inside of me
For that to be there was a cost
A searing, empty, bleeding loss

If faced again, I'd do no less
Love not free is a bitter guest
For even now I wish you life
No matter what the final price

And though this task was mine to choose
I hope you know that it was truth
For change will come and I'll move on
My love for you though, never gone.

Wish You Were Coming Home
Current mood: nostalgic
Category: Writing and Poetry

This old road seems unending,
carrying thoughts of you wherever I roam.
A call of the wild this heart renders,
wander-lust, everywhere is home.

West ward direction is where we are heading,
painted sunsets, along we go.
Here comes another rainstorm,
raising her head above the hills.
Smell the dampness, brushed on hot asphalt
Lightening and rolling thunder shrill.

I think of you, when you are not near me.
I hear your voice, smell your perfume.
My heart feels weary, almost broken
I wish you were coming home.

I see your smile and it warms me,
I want to taste the sweet honey of your kiss,
Wrap my hands, soft yet firm, around your hips
To feel your warmth,
like springs sun and it melts me where I stand.
Before I sleep it is your eyes I see.

We have our ghosts that haunt us.
We dream of brighter and bigger dreams.
We drive our demons from our souls now,
searching far for our souls release.

Tired Eyes
Current mood: hopeful
Category: Writing and Poetry

Tired Eyes.

Tired eyes remain open
over deepening pools of grief and sorrow,
Desperate to find answers
but dreading the silent lights of tomorrow.
If this darkness can consume these thoughts
then why not these thoughts alone?
For its the cold embedded veins
that begin to tear flesh from bone.
Tired eyes remain open
over deepening pools of pain and sorrow,
Desperate to find reasons
but dreading the empty dreams of tomorrow.
If this darkness can provoke these feelings
then why not these feelings alone?
For its the cold corroded memories
that begin to tear muscle from bone
Tired eyes remain open over
deepening pools of blood and sorrow,
Desperate to find the tears
but dreading the dead lies of tomorrow.
If this darkness can desecrate these words
then why not these words alone?
For it is the cold remnants of the past
that strips bone from bone.
These tired eyes remain open
over deepening pools of sorrow and defeat,
For this soul shall remain broken
and forever incomplete.

Floatsom
Current mood: peaceful
Category: Writing and Poetry

Floatsom

The night screamed
As it blinded me
With a flash of emptiness
And the thunder pounded hopes to ash.

I embraced the rain
As it bled into my dreams,
A sanguineous fog
pierced by the harbor lighthouse 
Solemnly exposing the sea.

Crimson stains upon the pavement
Puddle at my feet
As a damsel's talons
Bore ravenously down
Upon her lovers upturned back.

The storm raged into darkness
And as I faced headlong
Into the rain
I tasted the tearful
Drops of moral deceit
While shards of glass
Cut cords of dependence
Into flotsam

Stranded
Current mood: forgotten
Category: Writing and Poetry

Stranded

I don't understand this feeling.
All those holes in my heart, I just keep on sealing.
I'll deal with them later.
But later will eventually turn into…never.

I don't like this feeling.
and the way that I've been dealing…
It's so wrong.
Things have been this way for so long.
I desperately want it to go away,
But for some reason, it seems to want to stay.

I want you to look at me the way you used to.
I miss the things you used to do,
They way you touched me,
The way you smiled at me.
I miss that so badly.

But things have changed; you've moved on.
But I'm such a moron;
I don't know how to do that.
So instead I sit here, hoping we could chat..
It amazes me how much I miss you.
My heart is now empty,
and I am stranded in the cold.
I wait for you all the time;

but the waiting is getting old.
You never come back.
And I'm left stranded in the endless black.

HOPE
Current mood: cynical
Category: Writing and Poetry

Hope

Off in the distance
I thought I saw a glimmer,
a sparkle
of white light that is hope.
I thought I would be free
and happy again.

Suddenly,
many gnarled hideous hands
grab my arms
and roughly pull me back.
And that tiny white light
is blanketed in the darkness,
never to be seen again.

I can't do anything to please her,
instead, I unwittingly harm,
and lose forever.
I yearn to lock myself within a cell,
and force the world to forget
that I ever lived.

That tiny white light
Did nothing but give me false hope,
Hope that I never deserved

Forgiven
Current mood: imaginative
Category: Writing and Poetry

Forgiven

Im stitched into this skin,
i wanna crawl out,
and get down on my knees
say im sorry for all my sins.
Lying beneath the stars, i realize
all these things i never said.
Compulsions eat up my head
and my blood trickles slower.
Im sorry.
They pass by on the streets,
'are you ok' they ask, as if a chore.
Well i wish i was ok,
id wake up a brand new day.
Life is so short,
but id rather feel pain
then nothing at all.
Im so sorry.

Again and again,
this skins eating me alive,
consuming me.
 I wish i could be forgiven

Square
Current mood: relaxed
Category: Writing and Poetry

SQUARE

Yeah that's me in the middle.
Surrounded by these walls.
Surrendered to these walls.
And my mind is always quiet.

Then having loud thoughts.
Which makes me scared.

To go insane.
Afraid to be alone
with silent noise.
So wake me up.

I need you now so I can sleep.
There, that's an empty bed.
And that's me crawling beside it.
Its home, but I'm home sick without you.

This square drawing is my early morning.
Its insomnia. Claustrophobic, tired eyes.
Looking for a way out.
Before my mind gives in.
Believing in a T.V. world.
Yeah that's my window called the television set.

All these boxes, driving me crazy.
Driving me back to square one.

Driving me back to what once was,

Never to be again.

Bright Eyes
Current mood: lonely
Category: Writing and Poetry

Bright Eyes

seemingly endless
nothing but air to surround me
my only sight, the sky -
isn't that all i need?

i don't care enough, have the strength enough
to find the crack, a way out
at least here, i know i'll be safe
won't the sky look after me?

and i look after the sky
day, night; changing all the time
all those radiant stars, shine for me
but i want more then this

the sun, in all it's brilliance
everyday, consistently stunning
why won't it notice me
shine for me, the same way?

with all these stars and sometimes the moon
in the palm of my hand, hanging onto my fingertips
somehow it's still never enough
when all i want is for the sun to shine

in my dreams, i skip across the clouds
just tryingto get a little closer
i just wanna stay where i can feel your glow
instead, i'll give up each night, knowing i can't follow you.

would i step outside these walls, for you?
i never have, for anyone else.
i'd have to know, and i already know
you're worth it

until then, i'll be content with the stars
i'll love the rain, hate the sun for not shining over me
and hoping that one day
the sun will shine for me

Democrats want to control your money and republicans what to control your life.
Current mood: pissed off
Category: News and Politics

Democrats want to control your money and republicans what to control your life. Generaly speaking, i lean to the liberal side of most subjects, but my vote this year may boil down to one issue only. Employee Free Choice Act. And this one issue, if passed will cost you and I a hell of a lot more of our hard earned money. How you ask?

First let me tell you who likes this law and a little about it and then try and explain how its gonna cost you and me, and make someone a ton of money. Obama and Hillary are both  for the Employee free choice act, (John has not yet taken a stance) which actually should be called "let the unions take over any business they want act." Currently a company has to have a secret ballot to vote on a company becoming union, under this new law that would be a thing of the past. It is beyond me how one can possibly claim that a system whereby everyone – your employer, your union organizer, and your co-workers – knows exactly how you vote on the issue of unionization gives an employee 'free choice.... It seems pretty clear to me that the only way to ensure that a worker is 'free to choose' is to ensure that there's a private ballot, so that no one knows how you voted. I cannot fathom how we were about to sit there today and debate a proposal to take away a worker's democratic right to vote in a secret-ballot election and call it 'Employee Free Choice. Under the current law, a law that Obama and Hillary want to do away with, a union is required to have 33% of a companies employees sign union cards at which point the company would have a secret ballot vote to determine if that company would go union. Under this new law, all the union would need is 50% + 1 of the companies employees sign a card, and the company is now union. Free choice my ass. NO VOTE, NO CHOICE! i would think its pretty easy to lie to someone about just signing a card.

Okay,  how is it gonna cost you? It will become relatively easy for unions to set up shop anywhere they want, Target, wal-mart, K-Mart, Kroger, anyplace you shop. the biggest controlable expense for any retailer is payroll, and if the unions get in these retail outlets do you think the payscale will go down? And who do you think is gonna pay for that? Naturaly that cost will be passed down to you and me. The dems are for the little guy????

Who is gonna make money off of this scheme? The union. Since the 50's the union enrollment has plummeted, ( they have outlived their usefullness) so what should they do? Lets go after large retailers and get those union fees. Just imagine how sweet wal-mart looks to these guys. Wal-mart currently states they have about 1.2 million employees, multiply that by say $50 a month for dues...$60,000,000 a month or $720,000,000 a year!!!!! and thats just from one retailer. Now ask yourself why Obama and Hillary are for this law? Could it be because the unions have em in their back pocket? One of the two even said he would get this law passed in the first 100 days to thank the unions for their support!Its been a while since i voted for a republican but...
