Accept me as I am
or reject me
but I am no object
to be picked up then discarded
for I have departed
beyond this veil of light and life
I come to you hard hearted
but watch me melt in sunshine rays
give me my glory
my past is my story
another word, another note
I’m past thinking that’s all she wrote
give me your hand
I swear I’ve got a plan
though they mostly involve asking you to stay
I’m a forever kind of lover
but leave me at the altar
and I’ll find another
my heart is too full to falter
my core is emotion
and emotion speaks poetry
to the last you’ll know it’s me
I may be to shy to say it in time
but I’ll always
know how
to say it
in rhyme
Poems
Walking
I saw your beauty
let it sink into my heart
then look away
because while you walk as art
you are not owned by anyone but yourself
I won’t be the one to posses you with my eyes
But I’ll carry that look and that moment for all of my days
And I’ll hope you carry me with you

Calm dividing lines
There is a audio file with this spoken as it was intended. You’ll need to go to the site to hear it.
We calmly accept
our choices are few
left left, right right like some Konami code
choose me
it’ll all be different
but a single choice
works only when all choice is taken
we’re all parishioners at the same fat trough
elections made to break us
choose the choices we chose for you or
throw your vote away
to someone we don’t control
these party lines have all been erased and polarization just makes it easier to herd us
we are young and want a purpose
want our dreams back
but it serves no purpose
cause our choice is the lesser of two evils
all men and women
strawmen in this race of equals
both feeding your fear of the other
lest you vote your conscience
they say they’ll make it all better
but how can corruption and cancer heal our wounds
the lesser of two evils has been killing us we’re electing the butcher to be our doctor
this one takes a kidney and that one a lung
but at least I’m still alive to pay for the privilege
They rigged the system
And we keep tightening our own noose
Red and blue
The choice between blood on the ground and oxygen deprivation
I’d love to be the rallying call
but I’ve been screaming for years
and you still haven’t heard
choosing who holds the gun to your head
doesn’t matter if they’re Blue or Red
dead is dead
the body just hasn’t stopped twitching

Gradients of light
Suns blocked rays filter in the dark and grey
each second reminding me of the wider world without
though within the desolate heart
remains broken amidst the ruins of the past

Toasted and candied
The weight of those hearts
Held so close
slow trip, trip trip in 4/4 time
resound with clot and baited tongue
honey too thick to taste sweet
this side of heaven
may as well be this side of hell
for all the good that love brings
these frigid highs
crystalline and sharp
plunge deep through the earth’s crust
till molten oblivion gives way to peace

New song
I don’t have a title for this yet. I just know I can’t sing it. It requires a softer voice, one with a wider range than mine.
I’m singing to you
It’s bout all I can do
Trying to tell you, you’re not here alone
You’re crying your tears, I swear they’re just fears, I’m not walking away, you’re my world, you’re my day,
You’ve been hurt, you’ve been hurt before
You’re my heart, you’re my heart, you’re my darkness in day
Its not all been a lie, let me hold you tonight
You are loved, you are loved, you are loved
No need for your tears, your harboring fears
I bind up your wounds,
You’re my morning,
my noon
These words on the page
Are,
all,
that’s left,
to say
These broken memories, these shattered hooks, they’re lost in the melodies, this ain’t a storybook
I’m singing to you
It’s all I can do
Just sitting alone
Trying to tell you you’re not here alone
You’re crying your tears, I swear they’re just fears, I’m not walking away, you’re my world, you’re my world, you’re my day,
I love you, I love you, I love you
Why can’t I get you to stay
Why are you walking away

Sussurra
And I’ll falter through my falling lines
Dancing my depression
Remembrance of the passing time
It’s sifting down to sadness
Our drinking has reached its peak
And brought a passing semblance
Of passion that is ours to keep
A welcoming of madness
A drifting dream
I seek to wake
And claim a rightful lightness
But ere I dream
I’m lost to sleep
And drinking only darkness

I can’t know
I would wait forever, if I thought you’d come back to me.
