My Musings
This page will contain all the poems, thoughts, and musings that I have written and kept over the past four years. I can't say whether they are good or bad (that's for you to judge, anyway), they are merely one more part of myself put up for display on this site. Some are very depressing, some are whimisical, some are just what they are.
Please, if any of these poems influence you or make you upset, stop reading and talk to someone. Some of them are very dark, but I made it through those times, and you can too.

If you don't like them, then you don't have to stay.

Enjoy!
TAKE ME HOME!!!!
  Those Songs

Love songs are sung,
slow songs meant to
celebrate current love,
or mourn the inevitable
love lost.

Either way, I can
relate to neither.
That part of me
is empty, hollow.

No true love has
graced my life.
Not even
reciprocated infatuation.

Any love felt by me
has always been
one sided in it's
intensity...
Never returned enough.

Sorrow for the
hollow space threatens
to overcome my thoughts,
but I must not let it.

For I know, one day,
the space will be filled.
And then, I will know
just what those songs are about.

    OUTBURST

The trickle of blood-
red tears of the soul
shedded in a thin stream
dripping and moving so slow

Like a dam, barely open
holding the creek back
The water slowly builds
Concrete walls begin to crack

The trickle becomes a fountain
Waiting to be released
The barriers hold, but weaken
As the build-up fails to cease

Finally, the dam gives way
And the pained water pours out
The soul is emptied of it's burden
As you cry, shake, and shout.

   Why?

My world crumbles
as I look around
peer into the corners
of my dark mind
I wish for sleep
darkness throughout
And I wish for light
to shine through
the barriers of patterns
I hate the pain
associated with
things great and small
Is it all me?
I think not, but then
I question.
Things are skewed
and erroneous
and I don't know
what is right.
Who am I, and
   Why am I?

    Near-pure Rhythm

my belly has rhythm
it jumps and rolls
with the movement
of the near-pure
life inside
reaching and stretching
kicking and rolling
tumbling acrobatics
for the sheer innocent
pleasure of it all
oblivious to anything
other than his own
warm  secure  cozy
unrealistic world.

  Every Day

Every Day

is pointless routine,
sitting in front of the idiot box,
the occasional appointment
in the outside world,
with which I have lost
considerable touch.
Through it all hiding and withdrawing,
the same old game replayed,

Every Day

Things have changed to remain the same.
Everything is kept behind the smiles
of politeness, respect, courtesy, and deception
Loathing, anger, sorrow, darkness,
All prisoners of a false demeanor
Used throughout my life, throughout

Every Day

     Untitled

my life is a coin
two sides to everything
Unity forced by the form

The fight for dominance
A  war in my mind
Leaves my soul torn

Always a problem
Never a solution
I am so incredibly worn.
