Find Myself Again

I look through the hourglass of time
and wipe out what's around
to find myself in a place
where harmony is the only sound

I walk among the clouds
and run across the sea
to see the other side,
the other side of me

I put behind all the darkness
and cover all the fear
to step into the light
that began with a single tear

I feel the drifting wind
as it embraces me with love
and lift me up away
as i fly to the sky above

But is there a sky?
That, I do not know
Maybe there isn't
Maybe there is so

But in this distant land
where I'm my only friend
I wander about to find myself,
to find myself again......

Waterfall's Cradle

Lying behind a lazy waterfall
Between the trees, and wild vines clinging to bark
Twisted roots sip from a wrinkled pool
Colors and shades of green abound, nothing stark

Cooling and meditating is the breeze
Soothing and hypnotizing, water spatters on the rocks
A butterfly dodges the ricocheted drops
In the distance a woodpeckers beak knocks

Currents comb the furry moss
Two petals grow dizzy, in an eddy as it churns
A nervous racoon sips at the edge
I ponder natures wonders, and wiggling ferns

As I drift, an earned nap ensues
Hikings wonderful lullaby gift, and getaway
My troubles sip from a silent pool
Mother earth comforts completely, me today

Re: Poetry or Writing

Drop down another gear
Throw a rev or two without fear
Peel out and hear the shouts
The engines respond with a mighty roar
Pop open the suicide door

The rims keep spinnin
The tires, skimmin
Straining to keep the rubber side down
Kick out the rear
Traction control is all you will hear

If you wanna run with the big dogs be prepared..
Once you pop that clutch you can't be scared
Vision impaired, you'll be spared, as death approaches
The familiar sound of your engine coaxes

Soothes you, moves you
Keep up the pace
You don't wanna end up in 2nd place

Cut it fast to the right
Dissapear into the night
You'll be ridin the line tight
Punch it into boost mode
Hit the nitrous to keep it on the road
Another victory will be bestowed

wrote this last night...the previous night I couldn't sleep because I couldn't keep my hopefully-soon-to-be-girlfriend-again out of my mind.

Can't Sleep
It's 3am,
And I'm laying in bed.
Trying to rid myself,
Of the thoughts in my head.

It's 3.15,
I can’t get to sleep.
I’m trying hard,
I've reached a thousand sheep.

It's 3.30,
And I'm thinking only of you.
Wondering why you are so perfect,
And how you always carry me through.

It's 3.45,
And I think I’m crying.
Thoughts of living without you,
Make me feel like dying.

It's 4am,
And I know my feelings run deep.
But finally,
I’m falling asleep.

another...just finished

Worries
I try to live life,
With no regrets,
But your worry for me,
I connot forget.
I can't help but think,
I might die tomorrow,
And know it would cause you,
So much pain and sorrow.
Then I remember all I want,
Is only your happiness.
So now my line of work,
Just seems so fruitless.
But I want you to know,
That wherever you are,
When it's my time to go,
I'll remain within your heart.

Another writtin at 4am this morning.

Six Questions
Where do you turn,
When your life is a hoax?
And what do you do,
When you feel like a joke?

How do you live,
When it's all a chore?
And who do you trust,
When you've been burnt to your core?

What becomes your life,
When you find it's all a lie?
And Why go on,
When all you want is to die?

So when all that's false,
Has been unmasked,
Can you please answer,
The six questions I've asked?
--------------------------
Edit: I thought I needed a better close, so I added the 4th verse.

The Next Morning...

Today I woke into loneliness
An empty house filled with echoes of
friends voices and bursts of laughter.
Now my house is barren of activity
save for my wandering
making a futile attempt to
satiate my raging boredom.

Silence stalks me around every corner,
Shampoo commercials and B-rated Movies rule the waves.

Skirt Signals

She wore a skirt today.
A social move made for reasons unknown
as soon as I saw her my interest was shown
bare ankles grabbed my attention for a blink,
but I looked away after beginning to think
that I'm not supposed to love her
she's for somebody else
a subliminal skirt signal tells me to see
that the skirt she wore today wasn't meant for me.

Act like you don't know me

I saw her today
the girl I slept with last night.
We passed in the hall,
eye contact but wave or smile.
I said that I 'd give her a call,
but I was going to wait a while.
I don't think this thing will work out,
she's in a completely different social group.
I'm like a number in her alphabet soup
A stoner holding hands with the Gap girl?
Only if pigs can fly.
I guess our hook up at the party was just a whirl,
'cause I don't hear any oinks in the sky.


Pretty pathetic, huh?

here's a poem i wrote,
A poem for you
A poem to you
This is so childish
A poem for you
Hope you’re childish
What to say in this poem
I have no clue
After all
I barely know you
A poem for you
Is all I can say
After all
You are in my thoughts everyday
A poem for you
Is impossible to write
A poem for you
Makes me wish it was night
For it is there where I can say
All of the things I can
Even though to my dismay
Nothing will come out of my mouth
A poem to you
Is really none
Because a poem to you
Wouldn’t do you justice
A poem to you
Is really me trying to have fun
A poem to you
It’s all over
It’s done
