No Room for Bad Moods

A dimension not far from where my mind plays
lies darkness I willingly forgo

It's not what lies ahead, but within, that scares me
as spite drafts through the corridors of my observation

Keen my mind yet still faults
knowing not how to manage
but yields knowing well the benefits

I can calmly pass the clouded door
for I know we will meet in the next
where it is light again

What I Found

It was a dark, cold night
as the snow was falling down
I pulled my jacket tight
as I stepped outside
and all I saw
and all I saw was white.

I was a lonely man
and the only one who knew
I had my own two hands
and a roof over my head
the winter's so
the winter's so long.

All the stars in the sky
fell down to the ground
and laid my eyes
on what I found.

It was a slight shadow
fair and familiar in the dark
but how did I know
what it should have meant to me
it called out loud
it called out loud my name.

And in the bright silence
we walked toward each other
And in my cold voidance
I didn't recognize myself
my lonely heart
my lonely heart awoke.

All the stars in the sky
fell down to the ground
and laid my eyes
on what I found.

it was over

not that she didn't try.
she did.
mightily.
i could feel her muscles

there was a

if she would have
made me
laugh
just a little bit
harder
or counted
just a little bit
faster

she might have
pinned me.

Edge Of Time

Driving down the freeway as the sun sets slow
across into the outskirts of town
I can't see where I'm going but my foot stays steady
I may be blinded but I won't slow down

The tires tearing down the road are running low
and my mind and heart are getting sore
But when night turns to day they won't see me this way
'cause I'll find what I'm looking for

Oh I believe that there's something there
a light at the end of the line
so I'll carry on until my final destination
a darkness on the edge of time

I don't know if I'm fighting for the good or bad
the pouring rain has blurred my view
but the hope that lies within my heart is burning red
I'm hoping it'll get through to you

The narrow road that lies ahead is closing fast
I'm soon going to pass you by
but before I go there's something you should know
My love for you will never die

Oh I believe that there's something there
a light at the end of the line
so I'll carry on until my final destination
a darkness on the edge of time

win

5 guys, my team, got me this far, and the other
4 deserve this shot just as much as I do. A
3 wins the game. I got
2 guys crowding me yelling in my ear, and I only have
1 shot at this.
0.

ball. ball. ball. ball.
slide, outside foot first.
then, inside foot second.
bend my legs, deep.
ball. ball. ball. ball.
don't stand, damn it.
sit with no chair.
trace the ball, deeper.
ball. ball. ball. HELP.
don't look, not now.
walk towards the bench.
bury it there, deepest.

my monster

i named him.
he looks like
my shadow's
shadow.
he is invisible.
he looks
like this:

devil lived

behind the lid
of a lad
name lyle
lived a vile
albeit little
creature who
loved to smile

devil lied

forlorn
the figure
of little lyle
scratched his horn
poised his pistol
pointed
focused on
a clone profile
as if anointed
all the while

devil died

but lyle hadn't
lied
to say the least
the devil
was surpised
by the bit
of bullet
flying towards
his eye

church

i like to watch the
constellations shine on the
wood pew near her feet.

the chair

consider a chair for a moment.
betwixt each second, exists another
and betwixt each of the latter
exists a multitude of chairs
each unique from the last
by no more than a fraction
of a percent of an atom.
their legs fill my mind
like the tentacles of the leviathan.
o, i need to sit! because i am a chair.

Watch The World

I watched the smoke
as it blew higher
up and through the roof
I watched the hose
as it blew harder
as the fire grew
I watched as Noah
professed to Allie
that his love was true
I held your hand
and sat there knowing
that we'd make it through
