Grasping for a chance that slips through the fingers
Waiting for the moment that is not meant to be
Seeing the destiny that is not mine
Dreaming of what was never here
Fooling my mind into believing
Losing what I have never won.
Is this life or prolonged death?
Sunburn hurts, burning like fire
flush against my skin, engines roar my ears
Pop! I just want to be on hte ground
feel the stability of concrete and walk the
Path worn by millions before me
none of this flying shit.
Above the summit of Everest
makes you realize how tiny we all are.
So I'll land, walk the path some more
and leave my mark
Unseen by the millions that will come after.
Yeah, i'm cleaning the house. What else to I have to do?
Besides sit on my ass an receive dirtly looks from you.
Sure, I'll make dinner, but maybe I'll spit on it.
You just push it away anyway, and say it tastes like shit.
Nobody's perfect, but you, of course. And all of us peasents must kneel.
To kiss your stinky, nasty, feet or serve your hourly meal.
My sanity is slowly slipping down the drain like a prized ring
You like it that way, I think, distracted so I take care of your things.
Hey, guess what? I'm leaving today, my dear frog prince
To start living life completely my way.
So wallow in your swamp, I'm no longer catching your flies.
I"ll call you from my new castle just to say goodbye.
I want to live, I want to die
I want to be seen, I want to hide
But life's too hard and I'm too short.
Grey October
The leaves are tattered and torn
Gliding like colorful kites
Before turning brown.
Autumn, she is weeping
Her pale sky envious
Of Summer's blue and
Longing for the sun.
Grey October
The beginning of the end
The end of the beginning
The death of fair Autumn.
Breathe in - Breathe out
Eat, Drink, and Be Merry.
Ever wonder if this is what it's all about?
Our only purpose to cultivate and spawn.
Sing, Dance, and Play.
There's no time for this shit today,
It's all rush - run - to work
So you can rush home
To your dincontented wife
Bratty kids
and neglected dog.
Not me, no way
I want it MY way
To be late for dinner as I stop to watch
An ant, leaf, or ball game.
No meetings, cell phones, and taxis - Just Quiet
I think i'll check out of here
Today - this rushed world
To somewhere surreal.
Your eyes are the sea
Deep and unsetled
Blue and green
Grey and full of rain
They lie, you know
Hiding your inner self so well
The sea is always so calm
Before the storm
Does it bother you
That I've unlocked your mystery?
Peered over the edge
To see your twisted soul?
It bothers me, you are so blind
To think I am fooled
By your beautiful ocean eyes
That disguise your storm
The Pale Dark Sky
is cold - icicle stars glisten
their cool twinkle reflected in my eyes
The Color of the Pale Dark Sky.
Silence Echoing All Around
no sound but the beating of my heart
and warmth of my breath
in and out
a stark plume of white
Compaired to the Pale Dark Night
The Couldless Night of Eternal Stars.
My bladder is full and heavy with weight,
Legs crossed, face red, stomach full of aches.
I know you're ready and waiting for me,
My best porcelain friend when I have to pee.
But I'm not next in line and I do the pee-pee dance,
Wonder what would happen if I went in my pants?
But hooray! The line is now starting to shift,
And I think I can hold it, if you catch my drift.
I finally sit down and you are cold and wet,
Very disturbing but easy to forget.
After my bladder heaves a sigh of relief,
I bid my goodbyes and leave you in peace.
