And Then We Spiral
I've been carrying a clutter
Made of disarrayed thoughts
And if you feel you're lighter
Well they're all yours
I can feel my back aching
From the weight that I hold
With your newest conclusion
It just weighs more
We are motionless and then we spiral
I am so tired
It is pulling us, it is time
Make up your mind
I hope when it's over
When you know what you want
I hope I believe you
I sure hope that
Till now I got by
But it can't last a long while
I've been patiently waiting
I'm worn out
We are motionless and then we spiral
I am so tired
It is pulling us, it is time
Make up your mind
Quiet Drifting
Every little consequence tends to flood or burn
Following changes in following days will likely do the same
When the pain spreads to the limbs
they move so slowly
Rapid movements decelerate to a quiet drifting
And despite its randomness I find it almost soothing
Now there is no pain
The fire and water go through me
That is why why why I don't know
Of a safer way to be moving
Any change in pulse carries petrifying strokes
So I bind myself to this course
Making sure I am never shaken
Gradual and dull
Sterile and informed
Falling back from mighty streams includes the tiny channels
It makes me ramble aimlessly
It makes me want to reconsider
But doing that will put me back there
And it will be the same
Once again I'll soak or I'll crumble
Once again I'll wonder what I prefer
Because I'm not sure which one sounds worse than the other
That is why why why I don't know
Of a safer way to be moving
Any change in pulse carries petrifying strokes
So I bind myself to this course
Making sure I am never shaken
Gradual and dull
Drifting on and on
All We Ever Wanted Was To Lie
We already know the outcome of this one
Yet we watch repeat renounce and form a pattern
All that's left is waiting
It's the pace that is changing
It's embedded in me and in you alike
When it happens it will strike us hard
How could we anticipate it
All we ever wanted was to lie
Our vision is stained and broken
What came upon us is so cold and foreign
The point has come where it can no longer be undone
We have failed to speak instead we passed and passed the time
All we ever wanted was to lie
But never again
Not ever
Not till the next one comes
Our Choices Rhyme
I just have to know
When it subsides
Will we be floating
Facing downwards
Or facing up
The more we have to plea
The more we desire
Desire has no use to me
When my eyes are gazing at the water
I've seen a falling
Particles of a dark night
I've heard its calling
And I did not hide
Because where we are at now
So loud are the chimes
All of our choices
They rhyme
They have to rhyme
How Peaceful You Were
Underneath the light of fluorescent lamps
You remember how you used to swing in and out of your slumbers
All you wanted then was to be alive
Carried by a dozen hands
Alternating the sun's with the moon's light
You'll miss that when your fears show
You'll miss that when you lose another battle
You'll miss that yes it's so nice to remember
How peaceful you were but no longer
You only grow
And things are looking sadder
No more being held
Without guilt or a prescription
With your feeble arms
All stretched and unable
All stretched and unable
You'll miss that when your fears show
You'll miss that when you lose another battle
You'll miss that yes it's so nice to remember
How peaceful you were but no longer
Marble Hills
Be Patient
Roll me over to that remote spot
Where the scenery isn't likely to excite nor even reach my open heart
Push the lid down so I won't see a thing
The sights are twirling spinning in a motion that blends them so awfully
Right after this bump
Let me go
Let me roll
Somebody's already sitting over there
Holding slight resemblence to that writer who decided to commit himself
If I ask him kindly he might help and give a push
For he knows what it's like to redisover what was already in use
Whoever you are
Be patient
Somebody cried
And you know that while
cheeks aren't dry you wouldn't complete a cycle
Be patient
All by myself now
Making every single word count
Shoelaces
Ant
Small stone
No matter how or where you are
Be Patient
Somebody cried
And you know that while
cheeks aren't dry you wouldn't complete a cycle
Be patient
Stay Near
I saw your hand's been hurt
Reach for a bandage
It's time for you to get better
With every move you make
My heart meanders through landscapes of concern
Slow down on slides
Ease your turns
Danger is all around
You need to learn
The likes of you are free to clash and batter
You are too much to leave unprotected
I'll protect you
I'll sing you a lullaby and you'll stay home
Danger is all around
You need to learn
And when it's your time to shine I'll know
Slow down on slides
Ease your turns
Why are you running away?
It's always been for your sake
I feared your body would break
Stay near
My Hands Were Gray
I remember now
It was summer
We said our final words
And every now and then you saw me passing
Till you didn't see me anymore
A gust had left we wandering
I was following its sound
You asked for one so here it is
We have both done better in the past
Lowering the screens down to the windowsills
Before the wind will touch our skin
It is no surprise that by this time you are no longer around
When I turned my hands were gray
When I finally turned my hands were gray
