Reflection (written around 6pm today)

  • Jul. 10th, 2009 at 10:49 PM
Contemplation

Sometimes I wish that you were much stronger.

Sometimes I wonder if you’ll ever be whole.

Sometimes I hope that one day you’ll find me.

Sometimes I fall down the rabbit hole.

 

Some days I love you so much that it hurts.

Some days you aren’t there at all.

Some days I smell your familiar scent.

Some days I watch as you fall.

 

Often you lurk in the shadows of my dreams.

Often you tap on my glass.

Often you whisper and smile as you did.

Often I sigh and wish you’d just ask.

 

It seems that my heart and my mind aren’t in tune.

It seems that my faith has been shaken.

It seems that I wanted much more than you had.

It seems that my hearts for the taking.

 

Time’s the solution to all of our woes.

Time cures all that is breaking.

Time’s of no use I’ve realized you see.

Time only lessens the aching.

Unnamed and possible unfinished

Music = Life

Ascending madness as hearts lie cracked

Never mind lost love, lovers come back

Your weakness is growing out of control

Careful my darling, you’re losing your soul

 

The blood stained wall paper

The shattered glass panes

Prongs of wire littering the stage

The darkened skylights

The empty black sky

The familiar sound of echoing sighs

 

Your constant sadness drifts through your dreams

The strangers wake you with alien screams

I’ve seen your shadow around these halls

Heard your voices through these walls

 

I hate unknowing

I hate the truth

You fucking bastards

Destroying the youth

Your broke them

Ripped them

Cut them to bits

I’m sick of the lying

You never take risks

 

The blood stained wall paper

The shattered glass panes

Prongs of wire littering the stage

The darkened skylights

The empty black sky

The familiar sound of echoing sighs

 

Never thought I’d say such things

But you lost me when you cut those strings

And now it seems I’ve lost my faith

In all that love and lust relate

Verse 1

Shall we toast?

To all the idiots

We hate the most

It’s always hit and miss

And life’s a joke

I hate your ignorance

It makes me choke

On all that lacks here

 

Bridge 1

You’ll never know

The meaning of

Anachronistic,

Ambidextrous

What it means

To just accept

The worlds not clean

And we’re to blame now

 

Chorus

That’s the way we are

We bring up children

With the television

We work as little

As centre link has stipulated

We hate the wit and dryness

British shows have provided

It’s far too complicated

Since all the mush the US feeds us

 

Verse 2

Break that glass

There is no point of toasting

Happy stash

We need a blissful moment

With all this trash

You haven’t realized

You can’t buy happiness

With all your money

 

Bridge 2

You’ll never know

The world is round

The population’s

Always growing

Taking over

Bits and pieces

Creeping into

Little niches

 

You’ll never know

If one is two

Or two is five

Or if you’re patient

With the ones

That populate

And titillate

And aggravate you

 

Chorus

That’s the way the world is

And all we need is to accept it

We need to play this game

And act as if we understand it

It’s the way society

Has programmed all its intellectuals

To follow all the shit

The government is trying to sell

 

Bridge 3

You’ll never know

How far you’d go

To save the world

From all this sadness

Simply due to

Lack of knowledge

Understanding

Need or wanting

 

You’ll always feel

A strange sensation

Every time

The news is tragic

And yet you will

Remain unknowing,

Apathetic

And uncaring.

Hateful, spiteful

Slight bit hopeful

Lost in confusion

With intrusion

Hiding with

Your broken pages

Knowing you are

Missing stages

 

Ouch

Missing stages

Should i tell you what you missed?

  • Dec. 4th, 2008 at 11:59 PM
Lonely

Should i tell you what you missed?
Or all the things you might have done?
Should i speak of moments lost?
And days of wonder never had?
Should i dwell on days in dreams?
And wish for winter late in spring?
Should i want for you to see
the beauty, love and warmth i bring?

Did you know just what you had?
Or had my features blurred to one?
Did you see how far i'd go,
Just to show how much i cared?
Did i shut just like a book?
And stop you seeing deep inside?
Did i push you off the edge?
And force you to run off and hide?

Would you want me were i real?
Or am i still a rattle snake?
Would you speak your world to me?
And let me in, if only brief?
Would you want to hold my hand?
And wonder lightly down the street?
Would we laugh and kick up sand?
While walking along a briny beach?
 

My little September

You were my little September
that traveled into June
I wonder if you remember
All the wonderful things we’d do

Seasons passed and we stood alone

As a whole year disappeared

I suppose you became my home

Despite the underlying fears

 

My little September lost long ago

My little September so far from home

Your year has faded in the dark

Along with our once illuminating spark

 

My grip wore thin as spring time left

Us standing far apart

Wind brushed away our cozy nest

And stopped the beating heart

 

You had to place me on the branch

Of the tree you picked me from

Another one for you to munch

Had caught your eye in the sun

 

My little September lost long ago

My little September so far from home

Your year has faded in the dark

Along with our once illuminating spark

 

So here I sit, beside my leaves

Awaiting the day to come

Where suddenly I am quickly heaved

To a new and warming home

 

Don’t hesitate to pick my fruit

I offer you no harm

I simply want a love that suits

My every growing charm

It’s gonna be no more than you and me

Stop and look around,

Can your feet even touch the ground.

 

Running around in circles, can’t get a grip on life

You, you spun me round,

Now my feet can’t touch the ground

 

Running running running running around in circles

You are all I can find

Running running running running around in circles

I don’t wanna hide

 

Don’t don’t turn away, I don’t wanna be alone

Take me, take me with you,

I promise I’ll always be true

 

Come with me and I’ll show you everything I can see

Where I have been

Follow me and I’ll help you find yourself, who you are

Where you’re from

 

Running running running running around in circles

You are all I can find

Running running running running around in circles

I don’t wanna hide

 

Running running running running around in circles

You are all I can find

Running running running running around in circles

I don’t wanna hide

Happy
How much i love you i can't even say.

Inside my head though it's on constant replay.

I want to be around you all of the time.

Tell me why is it that you cannot be mine.



Come with me now and let us just be.

Surely we can make it, the two of us a team.

Takes a small chance to simply see.

But i know we can do it if we just beleive.



I held you so close, and oh you held me.

I never felt safer to ever just be.

A messy situation sitatuion is what we called this.

But at the moment i see it as just bliss.



So come with me now and let us just be.

Surely we can make it, the two of us a team.

Takes a small chance to simply see.

But i know we can do it if we just beleive.



I look at your smile and see how it shines.

You make me feel lighter like that smile is just mine.

I can't seem to tell you how wonderful you are.

Mere words are so useless to show who you are.
Confusion

I like to reach into my eye
and scratch my eyeball with my nail
But i must be sure not to cry
or else myself i might impail

Stripper, skipper, raper, ranter
run around and spread your banter

I want to smell words on dry lips
and watch as crackling skin gets bloody
But when the day comes that i die
I wish those words will make grounds muddy

Stripper, skipper, raper, ranter
run around and spread your banter

I love to love the worlds of others
the ones in which we all escape
But what i love more than these places
is skipping down my broken straight

Stripper, skipper, raper, ranter
run around and spread your banter

I wish to crawl inside my head
and run my fingers down the grooves
But this means that i would be dead
before i could release my truths

Time will tell of magic and fire
and i will reveal my dark deep desires

Stripper, skipper, raper, ranter
run around and spread your banter

I’ve watched people fall apart

a small decision cracks their heart

I’ve seen people open their eyes

after years of sleep, and days of sighs

 

I know it shakes your fragile land

and makes you feel less than whole

but what you need to understand

is that it lessens with every blow

 

I know people who never grow up

they sit in their corner, fret and fiddle

I hear of people who live in a rut

and refuse to try or solve the riddle

 

I know it shakes your fragile land

and makes you feel less than whole

but what you need to understand

is that it lessens with every blow

 

I’ve lost people to a world of unknown

where the key is to make a choice or decision

I’ve heard their cries as true colors are shown

as they crack, are fragile, and lose their precision

 

I know it shakes your fragile land

and makes you feel less than whole

but what you need to understand

is that it lessens with every blow

 

I’ve watched people heal and regroup

they choose the path they know is the best

I’ve seen them seek and discover the root

of all their problems, which they then correct

 

I know it shakes your fragile land

and makes you feel less than whole

but what you need to understand

is that it lessens with every blow
 

Close to perfection

Love

You make me smile when my heart is sore

You wipe my tears, drag me out the door

You change the subject when it get’s too much

You hug me close when I need a friends touch

 

One and one makes a muddled mess

And when I’m in it, I must confess

It’s you I long for, and you I need

My little friendlies, to you I plead

Take my hand, take both in fact

My brittle mind, try to keep intact

Take my arms, lead me far away

I’ll follow you into another day

 

You are my sunshine, when I hate the rain

You fall like snow flakes on my window pane

You always know just what to do

You’re in my heart, I’ll always love you

 

One and one makes a muddled mess

And when I’m in it, I must confess

It’s you I long for, and you I need

My little friendlies, to you I plead

Take my hand, take both in fact

My brittle mind, try to keep intact

Take my arms, lead me far away

I’ll follow you into another day

 

You never judge my crude mistakes

You never tell me ‘it’s too late’

You always make me feel brand new

You’ll never know how much I need you

 

One and one makes a muddled mess

And when I’m in it, I must confess

It’s you I long for, and you I need

My little friendlies, to you I plead

Take my hand, take both in fact

My brittle mind, try to keep intact

Take my arms, lead me far away

I’ll follow you into another day

I’m tired of these dark nightmares

The sleepless nights and broken stares

The constant games I loathed to play

The fact I knew you’d never stay

 

No time to talk,

We lots ourselves

The dark desires

Left on shelves

 

I broke the dishes, spilt cups of tea

Lost my wishes in the spring time tea

My tears ran dry when I hid my heart

The gaping wound still visible in the dark

 

No time to talk,

We lost ourselves

The dark desires

Left on shelves

 

‘What’s the matter?’ I know the truth

It’s not me you ache for, but I for you

I’ve put our world inside a chest

Do not enter, I’ll try my best

 

No time to talk,

We lost ourselves

The dark desires

Left on shelves

 

You’ll always keep a piece of me

Somewhere deep down, secretly

And in my heart you will remain

A friendship developing someday

 

No time to talk

We lost ourselves

The dark desires

Left on shelves

I thought i saw a rainbow, i was wrong

No fireworks,
no candlelight,
no red wine or roses,
no words of romance,
or intimate gestures-
no talk of the moonlight,
no sunsets in sight,
no hand holding or whispers-
just an ordinary meeting,
one ordinary evening-
but i'll admit,
i think we knew,
that my heart would someday love you,
and yours would someday love me too.

Still not really in the mood for posting, but i shall anyway, as i have nothing else to do.

Dad is home now, arrived on Monday. He brought, with him, plenty of gifts and hugs.

I am stressed. Two assignments that i have not begun. I need extensions. But first i need special consideration.

I am a weak, little pushover. I am sick of it. Sick of this. Talking to Zara, listening to her romance issues. I wanted to curl in a ball. I think she did too. *sigh* We suck. We all suck.

I am dying my hair, either today or tomorrow/ Purply, weird, dark colour. I like it. I need a change from ordinary Astin.

Verse 1
don't want to hear your piano song
your words are never long enough
you open books you never seem to close

Verse 2
the running games, the hide and seek
the break of dawn, the broken glass
it all adds up to worlds we've never seen

Chorus
sweet sweet darling, the words are fake
please count 1 2 3 for heavens sake
don't you fear the unknown place
we're all here to help you
and you know i'll catch you

Verse 3
the bitter cloud has risen up
i never thought i'd utter this
but run away to worlds of evergreen
 
Bridge
You'll se the shadows, touch the moonlight
and laugh at colours too
hate the lack of secret feelings, oh

Chorus
sweet sweet darling, the words are fake
please count 1 2 3 for heavens sake
don't you fear the unknown place
we're all here to help you
and you know i'll catch you

Verse 4
read your textbook and you'll understand
the mechanics of this distorted land
are never far away from those who care

Verse 5
i'll clear the cobwebsm you'll mix the porridge
we'll shut the blinds and use the candles
and the night will creep up as it always does

Chorus
sweet sweet darling, the words are fake
please count 1 2 3 for heavens sake
don't you fear the unknown place
we're all here to help you
and you know i'll catch you

A little slice of sanity

Confusion
You watch the wave’s crash on the shore
and see your hair move in the breeze
The sun beats down upon your brow
as you disappear beneath the sea
 
Your head dips down and joins the rush
as the tide manipulates you in it’s palm
The sun still beating, now upon your feet
as you are pulled far from the calm
 
You hear the voices call your name
the softest letters a mumbled mess
Instead you duck back down beneath
the coiled waves who hold no stress
 
And for a moment in your head
you think you’ve been defeated
The waves rock you, back and forth
you enjoy how you’re being treated
 
But not by anyone of flesh
more so by ones with scales
The ones who promise solitude
and put your mind back on it’s rails
 
Your head emerges once again
the sun peers from it’s perch
It seems those moments underneath
had continued with the search
 
The one your brain had taken out
to help it clear it’s path
Perhaps not healthy, most would think
though no-one dared to ask

I’m growing old, my mind informs
But still taking those first few steps
I know it’s time to embrace the world
Put my knowledge to the test
 
My clock says midnight, the magic hour
As I now realize the day
Officially a year has passed
Not much else to say
 
Coloured paper, ringing phones
Boxes filled with things
Sometimes tears join in too
As everyone around me sings
 
My smile is big, my eyes are wide
I hug all those who are near
But secretly inside my chest
I am harboring some fear
 
You tend to grow into your age
As kids into their clothes
Then suddenly it’s stripped from you
More growing then follows
 
You grow and grow up and up
Until you reach the sky
Wisdom joins you, as do wrinkles
And you give off a sigh
 
But for now I’ll eat my cake
And act as my age suggests
The sun will shine, the wind will blow
And I’ll smile and hug my guests

The Ever Watching Voyeur

You've never met me
yet you read
the details of my life
the love, the laughter
special times
the smiles and the strife

You send good wishes
hearts and hugs
as if you know me well
but do you know me
well and truly
or are just under my spell?

A witten page is merely that 
words someone can read
a truth, a lie, a solem vowel
strings of words, are these

You believe it all
these simple words
no doubt inside your head
I cannot see how
you trust me
and all that i have said

So why i ask you,
once again,
do you take the voyeur's seat?
I think perhaps
it is because
from our own lives we retreit

A witten page is merely that 
words someone can read
a truth, a lie, a solem vowel
strings of words, are these

A witten page is merely that 
words someone can read
a truth, a lie, a solem vowel
strings of words, are these

Unconscious awakening

I had some thoughts, late last night
at 2am, came on the light
I remembered moments long ago
and wrote them down, so here they go
 
when you move among your things
you hear the sounds of crushed bedsprings
and times that passed on summers days
relaxing under warm suns rays
 
and curling up on soul mates floors
spilling secrets behind closed doors
loving the simple company
smiling at all we planned to see
 
I thought of winter and the frosty snow
of secret crushes, and time moving slow
and longing for the warmth of home
while the country side I’d always roam
 
I smelt the rain and watched the skies
I wiped the tears, and heard your sighs
I thought of moments in the past
relationships that moved so fast
 
and friendships that grew apart
perhaps not destined from the start
though memories have lasted still
like gawking out of window sills
 
we loved our special made up place
and the toys you kept on your bookcase
your swimming pool, times on the boat
despite some tears we kept afloat
 
And when the evening came to a close
I said farewell to my minds’ echoes
put down the page, switched off the light
the moon lay there, in dark midnight

my wishing star now out of sight
 

Sideways

You know it aint easy
For these thoughts here to leave me
No words to describe it
In French or in English
'Cause diamonds they fade
And Flowers they bloom
And I'm tellin' you

These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
They've been knockin' me out lately
Whenever you come around me
These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
I keep thinkin' in a moment that
Time will take them away
These feelings won't go away

These feelings won't go away

It aint easy
For these thoughts here to leave me
There are no words to describe it
In French or in English
'Cause diamonds they fade (diamonds they fade)
And flowers they bloom (flowers they bloom)
And I'm tellin'you

These feelins won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
They've been knockin' me out lately
Whenever you come around me
These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
I keep thinkin' that in a moment that
Time will take them away
These feelings won't go away

Stranger (written last night)

Contemplation
I am yet to decide whether this is a poem or a song. Perhaps a poem due to it's lack of a chorus, and story-like manner. I am also unsure as to whether i like the extraordinarily cliched ending. It was the suggestion of Damen, who decided the two characters should not meet, at THAT was a cliched ending on not his. Let me know your thoughts dear friends.

Her smile is wide,
And his reserved.
She walks aside,
He joins the herd.
 
Her braids are tattered,
His hair combed neat.
She’s never flattered,
He’s told he’s sweet.
 
And when they meet,
Cross paths one day,
She smiles her smile
And he ducks away.
 
Ten years pass by,
As if cars on a street.
She gives off a sigh,
He slumps in a seat.
 
Her make up is thick
His tie far too tight.
They set off quite quick,
Disappear in the night.
 
He bumps her arm,
She drops her coat.
His gestures are calm,
She leaves on that note.
 
He climbs in his car,
She drives up the street.
He’s not traveling far,
She turns up the heat.
 
And in a split second
Their glances are one.
No time for reactions,
The both of them gone.

What did we do?
This is me, asking you.
Give me clue.
One clue.
Show me you.
Take off your disguise,
Can't see your eyes,
Only hear your sighs,
And your wish for lullabyes.
Are you still there?
Do you even care?
Not sure i can bare
This everlasting stare.
I hoped my glass would break,
Or the earth would quake
For Gods sake.

Why pretend?
I see the end.
It's over the mound.
Then under the ground.
And round and round, again.
Just count to ten.
One deep breath in.

I lost my rhythm.
Couldn't find my rhyme.
And look, the time,
It brought me my rhyme.
What matters anymore?
The law?
Causing the war.
Look through that door.
It's sad i assure.
With broken faces,
Shattered places.
Destruction of races.

Why was there silence?
No more patience.
You don't want words.
You don't want this,
You don't want that.
I give up.
Empty my cup.
You gave up.
It's so obscene,
We've been so mean.
Cannot be seen,
The truest gleam.

I wash my hands,
And cross the sand.
I'm over the bland.
It's so mundane,
Feels so insane.
Washed away by rain.
The world's now plain.

And you are free.
And i can see.
And we can be.
