They hurt
We still strive
Sometimes we lose sight
Attainment
HE moves us faster
Sunday, December 6th, 2009I just can’t feel it.
Not like this, not now, not yet
This is not complete.
Strouthion
Saturday, December 5th, 2009I don’t miss you
look for you,
see you everywhere,
or wonder what you’re doing.
I don’t feel like there’s evil crawling through my veins. An evil growing swiftly, plotting out my end, preparing for an overthrow.
I don’t love you, and I just don’t care.
You are easy to put down.
You’re too hot for me to hold.
You. are… a [...]
This isn’t true.
Thursday, December 3rd, 2009There’s a certain feeling sliding
Through the linings of my gut
There are things that I am hiding
But I just can’t tell you what
There are answers not worth knowing
There are treasures you wont find
There are places we’re not going
It’s how we were designed
I try to leave it sit there
And fester like it should
Hah. Hmph. Intuition.
Monday, November 30th, 2009Nobody knows this.
But everyone does know it.
Even you and me.
Delivery (I held. The oar all along)
Monday, November 30th, 2009Every one’s special.
Everyone’s new.
Sometimes it’s me.
It’s always you.
Sometimes it hurts me,
sometimes for days.
sometimes the great blues
feel more like grays
somewhere this happened:
i lost all control.
somewhere it worked out.
i was made whole.
Deliver. Deliver. Deliver.
Take me from this place.
Deliver
Deliver
Deliver
Make me hide my face.
Take me away from this place.
I am.

Sunday, November 29th, 2009give these eyes their life back
their torches dim and tire
tie me up and light me
martyr me with fire
House (we’re in this together.)

None of these add up, but they’re there.
Wednesday, November 4th, 2009Please just hold me, squeeze me, heal me
utilize your skill
kiss me, sew me, close me, seal me
breathe through me and make me still
I want to see with the eyes of a child again
and love without knowledge of pain.
I want to marvel, once more, at the mystery
of things like lightning and rain
I want back the pure [...]
Stepping stones
Sunday, November 1st, 2009Are we not
just the things
we
think
(fear)
we might just be?
Wherein lies the problem?
Where is the source?
We are the master, we are the piece.
We are afraid to remember.
Wake us up. Wake us up. Wake us up.
I know why the wolf howls.
