Standing Letters

No more will I be the letter, The Writer softly spoken in your ear... but left. I will be lOuD & def!ant! I will THROW my words in the FACE of whoever stands in my way. On this page I am your writer - Beyond, I beckon: A voice.

Our Mom

She spoke so soft,
"I will love you forever",
it never became its own lie.
Strong were her words
as they took away shadows,
keeping safe our fragile minds.

I have never known someone
quite like her,
and not care I, what you have to declare;
she is mine, she is his,
& I will love her forever,
'til given my last breath of air.

Does Your Love Hide?

Do you watch me sleep?
Does your love
hide under a rug?

When I'm singing
do you hear me,
as I flit
along the gardens
of, lonely too,
the silver bells?

Donkeys Dont Da Vinci

In my mind
I'm fairly fine...
Yet sometimes
these thoughts are out of line.
Strewn 'cross the page.
Bottled, but broken
from the way they savagely tear my brain open.

The clowns are all laughing,
donkeys, they cry
all for the fear of these elegant ties
which fasten our bodies to our minds.
For I know our hearts work hardest
to bleed a masterpiece
through the hands of an artist.

Brother (you can be anything)

There is something I have never told you

the deepest secret no one knows.

Behind the darkest buildings,

beneath the patina of pages...

Some have tried to follow,
others have come close.
But I have kept it harbored, safe at bay
& still no one knows.

But I may tell you.
Let it slip, today may be the day
that someone hears the hollowed truth.
The secret I have kept so safe.

So brother, I'll let it come free now.
From the bottom of the coldest seas,
in the warmest rooms of royalty,
you have always been my biggest of dreams
& I believe in you more than I do me.

I love you with all of my soul
& in telling of tales & letting secrets go,
there is not a sweeter child my mind may know.
For you dear brother, my heart, it grows.

White Lie

I wish I could watch the planets align

Standing on mountains made by mankind.

Washing our hands in the stream of mere mortals

clearing all their natural grime.

We are but only humans
the mistakes we fear are that of our own mind.

& I dream to have the scripture in mouth;
something so extreme, divine.
But all I hold are those words foretold
& the cavities of my own lies.
The dirtiest filth & the hollowest cries
that fill your gasping soul with cyanide.

Incomplete

When it comes to words, I work wonders;

until wonders fall on you.

Then my script splits as a serpents tongue

past speech, I know not what to do.

So I drown myself in the slimiest grey
hoping some genius will fall through.
But in all my mess, I still confess
my weakening is you.

Its sick and twisted, rotten and cold
addicted to a someone I never knew.

Tell Tale Queen Of Hearts

You're a beautiful face, but I fear somethings wrong

I see it in the world, it's alive.

They speak of a game, it's danger I hear;

Love? What a thick sounding name...

I once met a man so humble & dear
love fell upon him as the snow did that year
& I watched as it crumbled, so tender in his hand.
Yes I once knew, now I've only met, a man.

Be stolen! A princess, she walks with no name
but beauty still became her.
Her lips were as red as the hearts she would take;
such a cruelty to befall on a stranger...

I heard of love once, a story so twisted,
wrought and cruel to its core.
Well, I have taken a liking, as would anyone else,
so I dove into the horror;

Until it became horror no more...

I found the light, it was in your eyes
and love, oh love! It sang.
I heard it as sweet as my darling to be,
I heard love speak my name.

God's Broken Home

Curiously, you're wondering why I have called you here?

To take your breaths, to keep the time turning.

This place will wear your feet as well as your heart.

Making you into nothing more than what you have planned for yourself to become.

It's an ageless rumor that calls upon a purpose, alas, there not be one.
When the days drag on & you've come to lose all you've found,
that is when you will know why.
That untold being that keeps your beat hidden within their palm;
the hour will come when a life be taken,
and in all that golden love, lust, and chemically balanced brain function,
you'll lose it all as all lose you.

Beneath the half hidden truths, there is not a human that live within happiness above hope.
All beings be equal, all humans be humane, & within decency we find it.
Let go all whispers, beneath the loudest voice we find validity.
The softest beings possess the hardest tongues, and for self worth, my dear, is why I have brought you here.

Youth Verse

I hope you never know what I have gone through,
and wish you a life much better.
All I ask is that you walk a straight line,
and keep your head high as heaven.
