In the great distance I hear
The cries of
A midnight
Train
Passing through a
No name
Town
The dark hovering tree's guard
The lands
Secrets
Of those that
Once
Ruled
Horses hoove prints forever carved in
The concrete
Mud
Below
The cries of death echo in somber tones
On the
Hollow
Plains
Old wagon wheels scattered about
Along the lonesome
Trails
There is a chill in the valley where many said their last words
Forever trapped in a
Stand
Off
Carrying big irons to warn off the riding rebels
That dare
Trespass
The doors to the saloon ragged and rotten
But you can still hear the music
Wailing and the screams of the
Waitresses as the
Men
Flirted And
Teased
Just outside a tumbleweed blows by
Not a sound to be heard
Its midnight
In the distance I hear
The cries of
A
Midnight
Train

Lost Somewhere In time

A shattered hourglass holds no time
Much as broken hands
On
A
Clock
Disoriented in a place that doesn't
Know days
Or
Nights
Nor
Mornings or evenings
Is there such of
Infinite
Days?
Is there such thing
As
Forever
Now?
Familiarity escapes the
Brain
What is this place?
Somwhere between
Heaven
And
Hell perhaps
Im not burning, nor at peace
Am I forever bound in such a place?
Walking foward but
Seeing
Behind
Sitting down
While standing
Up
My body doesn't yield time
I
Feel
Young
Where am I?
Is there such thing as forever lost?
Not in the world, but in
My
Own
Mind
Maybe I must be lost before
Im
Found.

When it's over, It's over

When the butterflies have all flown away
And your
Hearts
At
Bay
The scent that drove you wild
Has grown
Muffled
And
Mild
When the intimacy never comes around
Things are
Flying
South
Bound
The days turn to weeks since you've spoken
Its obvious
Things
Are
Broken
When complements become rare
The bond
Becomes
Bare
When strangers care more about you
It's time
To
Say
Goodbye
Boo

Un-Freed Death

Life's fleeding in dying rose petals
Fading into brownish
Flakes
Falling one by one onto
The cold
Ground
Swept away by the creeping wind
Lurking in
Dark
Shadows
A quarter freed
But three quarters
Captured

Selfish

Mistakes are easy and usually one-sided
Selfish acts
Dominantly casted upon another who is
Blinded by what they
Believe in
Or whom.
Defiant behavior resumes in their mind
Knowing the path is righteous
And not backing
Down
Level headed becomes only true for the
One *******
Up
And for the one who is struck
Well, they become the
Pawn
The root of all to be demonized for proper behavior
Love doesn't win
It
Loses
You fall like a piano being lifted outside
An apartment
Window
As it lies on the ground
In disbelief
No one takes
Blame
But who cares
Right
The rope was old

I'll rise up again

Big dreams speak to the silence I hear calling my name
A whisper of something to live for as my head hangs low
Crawling through darkness on a boat that can't find the harbor
The waves carry me out with the tide and throw me into the bay
The windless passage captivates everything that's wrong on a deserted island forever gone
Lost and found or maybe just lost, sending out an s.o.s. but no one knows your gone
The waters have left me battered and as good as dead
But...
I'm
Still
Breathing
I will rise on the tip of a tidal wave and soar flawlessly with the seagulls among the Baby Blue Sky's
The clouds my pillow and the stars my light, the rain my cleansing, and the thunder my might

Love is Blind

Pieces of me fade away as the memories pass by

Me...
Without a life jacket
I sink into the darkness night beholds
My fate is carved in stone with blood I shed in the days I loved
When I roamed the streets so life could continue
Sleepless nights I braved with eyes wide shut driven by a dream
Countless hours burning the clock I stared at while wasting away in the depths of second rate
Oblivious to my surroundings because love is blind
The pain was symbolic to success because in my world no pain, no gain
My vulnerability severed the cord in which I breathed
Life had ceased because
Love
Is
Blind
