A wounded eagle pears through the fog for a perch,
yet the mist and gray skies yield no solitude.
A tear accompanies his peaceful ascent.
He flies to heaven, but his tear forever stains the land.
Roses are red cuz of all the blood thats been shed
trying to hold on to their beauty.
And perhaps you prescribe to that
Under medicated state of mind that brings those thoughts to bear.
I know what its like to bleed the rose red.
Lifes hard, so listen up.
I wont go down with the, world
I wont go down with the, economy
I wont go down with, all thats conspiring against me.
The waves and thralls of a mothers sadness,
the madness in my fathers work ethic,
the unrelenting fits of self-discrimination,
Also known as the segregation of happiness from my world.
But I wont fall d
I'd throw away the sky
and dismantle every trace of flight,
To discover what Ive been missing
in the distance between
the Angelfish and Dove.
When the Angelfish goes home,
for a familiar breather in the sun soaked sea,
she leaves love a lingering
and longing in the Doves coo.
She cant see, nor can he
the distance tween the stars and sea,
until the Dove Damns his wings
and wishes he could swim.
For what distinguishes the two
soaring and swimming
Id relinquish one for the other
to be with her.
My wish upon a wishing star,
is to drown the world insofar
as the sea becomes the sky.

Minor resonance melts to major joy.
The crowd overwhelms piercing concert noise
with screams of adoration
and worship for the gods on stage,
as they indulge in worldly bliss.
Theres Jack over there,
so drunk he thinks hes in heavy metal heaven,
and the poor girl who pays for it with a black eye.
Goliaths up front blocking the view,
and the crowd sways to the folk country jam.
Blinding lights shine from nowhere and everywhere
as the accordion begins to belt.
Everyones alive at last.
Ripples become waves, waves foreshadow thunder
and thunder reigns from our holy guests

I'm the one who broke your heart . . .
Oh excuse me, I should introduce myself:
I am pain,
unseen scars and open wounds
wretched shards of the mind
so sad,
I am sadness,
tear stains on pillowcases
melancholy songs on the radio,
so dark,
I am darkness,
I kidnapped happiness,
and stowed him away for another day,
looks like tonight it'll be lonely
so afraid,
I am fear,
the paranoid mother,
overprotecting while
disconnecting from the world.
how ironic,
I am Irony,
the final say in all things real,
your brother and mine,

Mama's lost her mind.
Can't blame dad, he's gone.
The grave's a walkin', as she's a talkin',
To the stalkin' spirit of the dead.
She ain't bad, or at least she doesn't mean
The thoughts she thinks,
the tears she cries,
for what she's gona do.
Can't see but hear, can't know but feel:
tremors behind closed doors at night.
Mama, you gotta wake up,
Please
Dad used to hold her up,
when she'd slash herself down,
but he's gone now
so mama contemplates tomorrow,
her sorrow,
and mine.
Time tick-tocks and rots away her soul,
as she tries harder to cry,
with each lamenting second.
with every stroke she's broke,
and I go with her.

Peace gently rippling on the driftwood shore,
and the rustling song in the forest breeze,
as the world meanders on in the distance.
Its what I see In your river shade eyes.
Yours is the soothing click-clack cadence
of a sailboat running down waves.
Lost in the perfection of a late summers caress.
Airs tussle to and fro
nowhere to go, no particular reason,
and the world stands still.
The sparkles shimmering cross the
water, heavenly stars on the sea they
mesmerize, they fantasize.
As I recall the suns reflection in your stare.
Raw nature, raw unbridled emotion,
the conviction like a perfect rhythm
Arrival is sweet nectar, candy, relief, hope, joy, amusement, beauty.
Life journey spent riding the winds of time.
Updrafts, torrents, tranquility, weve seen it all.
Perfect storms, beautiful sunset to sunrise,
and now youre here.
Sift through memories, endless flowering fields.
Have you seen a perfect blossom?
No? Not yet? Perhaps?
I see one blooming before my eyes.
Life is slow, and yet too fast.
Already sixteen I see,
slow down for the roses,
they enjoy your company,
a perfect match.
Youre here,
Summer of untapped joy awaits,
Chaos has passed, fog given way to daylight,
and what a beautiful

Years to grow
Once the sky was blue just because
and we could fly with birds to palaces atop the clouds
returning just in time for dinner.
Simple nursery rhyme songs,
Off key tunes seemed melodic masterpieces,
and life was simple.
Time nurtures the heart, body, and soul,
experience tempers the mind.
Innocence ages with us
until we seem to find
weve grown into something greater.
We mature into great people,
and a great person youve become.

Years to feel
The warm embrace of summers sun,
Toothaches from to many sweets,
The sand between your toes
on a sun set perfect b

Let Your Troubles Roll By
Always gazing forwards,
Always racing ahead.
Begging for tomorrow's answers
Rather than asking what's here today.
Throwing away problems,
Wishing they'll leave me at peace
But they never cease finding me.
In sheltered sleep and nightmare,
My love struck broken heart.
Solace comes and goes,
Like caressing Wind or Ocean's crystal tide,
But Rain eventually wavers back
Or sometimes the Tsunami,
It drowns in a Flood of sorrow
Perhaps instead of looking to tomorrow or today,
Seeing night where day should shine,
Simply look up for answers.
Not to god or the stars,
Look no further than the Sky,
The endless majestic Sky.

Night-magic
To my left I see trees;
To my right, the light
of a city ever-bright.
Behind my see nothing;
Before me, houses not yet alight
in the embrace of the night.
But the magic lies
above me
in the deep blue sky
in the stars
ever-shining,
ever-dying.
In the knowledge
that you see
the same starlight
the same magic night.
That you feel the same flutter
in your heart
the same catch
in your throat.
That you love me,
and I, you,
until the stars
flee from night
and take with them
their light.

grimy windows as we sip on humidity,
no names allowed, anonymous in its sin
hidden in a truck stop bathroom,
the heat, the sweat—
flies are sucked down a drain,
his skin gives off the smell of a tattoo
and I recognize this puma is no ink blot,
a thimble-full burns my eyes— I bare
my teeth, to have him here right now,
a cracked mirror fractures the image
showing the act multiple times, as
more than one of him.

and I'm just as wet

'you need to

other things do sink, though.

you look cute when you sleep.
i smell your confused hair on which
you only use shampoo, and
i can see some sort of halo glowing
around your head
your body is small and so is
your voice.
i have no choice when
my heart starts hurting from pumping so hard.
my heart starts beating faster and
i want to tell you that
i'm just going to have to

Well hello all. As you can plainly see I've given up here. What may be less obvious is that I've created a new account, one shaded in anonymity and freedom of expression. I invite any who would like to watch my at my new account to do so here http://deadpoet363.deviantart.com/. I must attach a warning however, that I will not temper my pen or my emotions because any particular person choses to watch me there. You may find poetry or spoken word pieces about you, and they may not be in the cheeriest of spirits either if you catch my drift. I will not repost any of my pieces from here there.

Happiness as we know it is a very fickle thing, like the weather. Very few know true happiness, and I am certainly not among them. How I long for the lake of tranquility.
I haven't been around much, chances are I won't be for quite a while, at least until after AP's and college stuff, if not until the summer. Sorry, just thought I'd let those who care know.
