There will be no one on this journey to help me,
and I'm there to forgot the one I would be thinking about the entire time.
Well,
Here to go.

Don't you dare worry about me
I'll be alright
Leave me to my sleepless night
There's no need for us both to be tired again.

It's definitely set in
Emotions I cannot beat back
Wondrous expectation
Of a great perhaps

I can so I don't
But I do

Sometimes I wander
Deeper to the city
Velvet streets and
Brimstone corner stores
Silent, contemplative
Sacred Simplicity

Yesterday got away from me
Yesterdays tend to do that
Tomorrow we can try again
Or maybe I'll just get a new cat

I woke up and made peace with the moon
All is everything
All is chemical
All is sublime
I can sleep
I can dream
I can dream about dreams
I woke up and made peace with my coffee cup
The world woke up and I made peace with my coffee cup

I miss you
I miss me
The simple ways
When all it took
Was a laugh
When all we needed
Was to get out of class
When I was happy on a cloudy day
Not sad on a sunny one
I miss that
I miss my blue hat.

Every sorrow in existence
Woven in the tapestry of my life
Hanging on the wall of misery
But in a cold and bitter hell
With you
I feel the apricity

Reaching
Far reaching
Never near
Never clear
Ever fear The Faithful

Planted in the dirt
Soil so deep and fertile
Our future will grow

Side by side we grow,
Our roots entwined, strong and deep,
Reaching for the sun.

Amidst the uncertainty of Gods and Devils
One might proclaim
The only things certain in life
Are Anger, Hope, and Pain

A great realization
The first way was right
Just give me some time
And it'll be alright
The bitter sweetness
Of a friendship teetering
On the fence of truth
And needing

I sondered
As you passed me by
I wondered
As many past goodbyes
I stiffened
As I saw you cry

Was your life
As sad as mine?

I offered
As you stopped in awe
I assured you
As your tears did fall
I listened
As you told it all

Our world of sadness
Is not so small

I let you know
I too have felt it
I too have known
The weight of existence
Upon your soul
I promise you
You're not alone

Let us go together now
I'll wipe away the tears and clouds
No longer will this strife enshroud
Our lives this way with fears and doubts

Together we are stronger
Than we could ever be alone
Please take my hand dear friend
And let us wander home

I am
Many things
Not the least of which
Relentless
Tirelessly through the storm
Till my hands don't work anymore

You are every memory I never had
You are every morsel of life I crave
You are every moment I want to live
You are everything
You are
You

I want to be the tears that fall from your face
The taste of salt on your lips as the journey ends
I want to be the pull of your heartstrings
The melody of restoration
I'll take solace in my ending
As healing you of your sadness

Hello little star
I see your little light
So high up in the sky
But I know you're burning bright
So far away in space
A million miles away
I long to touch your face
And soon I will some day
From earth your light seems dim
But I know this isn't true
So I'll take off through the heavens
In my rocket ship I flew
Quick in your direction
I am hurling like a comet
There you are to guide me
I'm in love and cannot stop it
A star that burns so fiercely
So brightly in the sky
Baby I'm your astronaut
So come with me and fly

Late at night
I hear your sighs
As I taste your skin of cream

Late at night
Into your eyes
I look as my heart screams

Late at night
You and I
So surreal as it seems

Late at night
You and I
It is real and meant to be

A brief moment of peace
Before losing it all
How underappreciated
Is the serenity
Before the fall

Fortis sed non invictus sum
Vivam sine te sed id non amabit
Tristis in aeternum ero

I wonder and believe,
Through melancholy of fallen leaves.
What is this to me?
The sentiment
Of finality.

Seeping anger
But not at you
Muddled mixture
Of love and logic
Oil and water
Gone and lost it

Perhaps,
The great perhaps
has passed
Thinking of people
You've met and asked
When're you done?
Who are you now?
What you've become?
Where and how?

Perhaps,
The great perhaps
has passed
But that doesn't mean
We shouldn't ask
The people we meet
The difference we make
It's hard to adjust
To the risks we take

But perhaps,
The great perhaps
Is now
Yes, I see it
This is true
As surely as
Our sky is blue
One step
Then another

Then another

I believe in you

Every wincing moment
Through daily adversities
I find myself clawing
and fighting to succeed
Through every trial and tribulation
That bashed me to my knees
I made it to the finish
Battered and battle scarred
And just when I think I have it all together
There you are

If I had to choose
I would choose you
Without any doubt
Or question

Between life and death
If I had to choose
There is no chance in hell
I do not choose you

In an uncharacteristic turn of events
I tripped and fell down

I was in love her
Before I hit the ground.

You are the sky above
The earth below
Your gravity holds me
I cannot fly
Yet I am free
You're the flowers
The grass
The trees
You're everything
There is to be

Fate is a cruel temptress
Those of us that lack the resolve to resist
Wind up in a purgatory
Unable to atone for breaking

through every Fire
       across every Ocean
   through every Forest
                over every Mountain
I want to do this with You.

The subtle sounds of a symphony
Like a true master of the heartsichord
You strum my heart strings
With a prodigy's precision

Such beauty in phrase
That of, "Cellar door."
But I'd argue, "Hello Lovely."
Is just that and so much more.

Fears and doubts
They creep around
But in your radiance diminish
Those thoughts and worries
Let them scurry
Let this unrest finish

Thus, in your smile
And in your laughter
These are things to love
Walk with pride
And learn to see
The shimmer from the scars beloved

Believe in you
Not in them
For you're where victory lies
Do these things
and love yourself
You'll never have to say goodbye

A profound feeling of disquiet
A soul anxious and eager
A ruptured endeavor
A heart in riot
A jest though meager
A feeling forever

Sometimes
It's the sudden collapse
Of all we hold dear
That ferries us to realization

Pretty potted plant
Sits on my window sill
Planted by my lovely daughter
I tend to it now
Waiting for it to bloom
Hoping I can show it to her
It's very close now
In just a few more days
Just wishing I can make her proud

When in your darkest hour
Comes the brightest light
I don't believe in God
But maybe for tonight
If I can muster the faith
It'll be alight

Sympathy
Empathy
Just an epiphany
What if I died
Without writing a symphony
That doesn't sit with me
Now it is time to be
But I'm too blind to see
Strangest catastrophe
Far away galaxy
Why are you mad at me

Voice in the fan

I'm not Peter Pan

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?!

In the chaotic swirling mist
Of iron raining from my life's sky,
I stand adamant
Amongst the storm,
Against the merciless roar,
And din of a dying light.
