New Morning

The dawn breaks violently
through my open window
the pale moon softly fading
with the light
this is just the begining
with visions of the horizon
I am lifting
with the ever growing wind
that whispers to me
I am awake
I am awake

Untitled

This is coping
this is coping this is coping
rendering your knees
to the pavement
fear that has frozen
its icy course
through the spine of
your latest inhibition

this is losing
this is losing this is losing
with sanity and reality
and the persistance of
your feality
to the road your are forever
wandering

This is lost
this is lost this is lost
on the highway with
no direction but the swerving
of the lines that continue
their diverting

This is surrender
this is surrender this is surrender
to the infinite divine
mapmaker
take my feet and lead me onward
this is hope this is hope this is hope

Imminent Release

In this moment
when the rain pours steady
voices merging with the wind
eyes glazing over
from to much being seen
in this moment
the bullet hits the fan
and the echoes spin
and spin and spin

Awake: Part I

The sign on the toilet paper

dispenser

Reads:  tear gently

As I rip and        

restore

My image bent on the     

floor

From the  light

splintering

through the crack in

the metal swinging door

Desperate Abandon

She is down there
playing chicken with the tide
her white calves glistening
against the moonlit water
I am up here
with my fingers splayed wide
on the window glass
tracing words I won't confess
I leave my guitar idly
on the floor
always leave it wanting more
with no words left
I am muted to the core
I would be her music
if she would lend me
her words
I'd be a damned syphony
if she looked at me
with the desperate abandon
she reserves
solely for the beckoning waves

Tower

This tower, a stronghold
the defenses are up
the archers alert
till the dawn aproaches
silent come creeping
and our eyes meet
I know you mean to scale
these walls

Untitled

This waiting has consumed
all of me
my patience receding with the
tide out to sea
my anger like a storm
building grey to consume
and I'm swaying with
my rage
rocking back and forth
injurious fists balled
into themselves
and I burn and I wait
and I leak with the rain
boiling tears exploding
from my bloodshot eyes
running the length of neck
my stomache
my thighs
I can't stop this shaking
this violence in my
mind
you've brought this hurricane
to my door
