General Original Poetry

[overlooked_shadow]

Treat me like a stranger and I will grow strange to you.
The circle has flipped and what you expected of me is not what you see. I'm coming out the other side a brand new child.. The harbinger of tidal waves and destruction , the circle comes, I wield the weeping staff of Hermes, bound no longer as a snake is to the earth. Too long has wisdom kept silent while fools and pretenders usurped the song of eternity....

The grey grey sky
Vortex swirling in my eye
Remind of home
The empty paged
Tome

Fill in the blanks
Wind lashed sail
I've been capsized
Lay down your reeds and run
Into my soft eyes

Light my way homeward
With your hearth
You of the stars
Me of the earth
We journey on as
Life turns toward
The endless dream
I hear you, you have so much to say unsaid, it lets in a scream

Lay down those reeds and run to
My soft sheets
Heartbeats in time
Inside the warm hearth
Glow
Ive been at sea, salt sprayed and weathered and your the last true love I'll ever
Know

[night faerie]

After midnight
Something comes over me
Something draws my heart to breaking

I guess it?s the moon
That starts me to swoon
And fans flames of my pain in the making

I wish that I loathed it
I wish I would sleep
Just shut it all off and succumb to the deep

But my guiltiest pleasure
My lustful endeavor
Is to follow my passions and leap

[overlooked_shadow]

Thousands of years built on a prism of my tears
Kings and castles came and went
All things, great and small
Have come to disappear

My spirit floats on the 4 winds, I ride the whale road
Sirens and songs taunt my melancholy mind
I see the bloated and bleached
A story now untold

I don't fear your hidden, sharp ,spikes
I've been laying on a bed of nails
You walked hand in hand with a fear stricken child
Im headed for that siren song, with my wind- tattered, sails

[night faerie]

A maelstrom of words
on a million pages
And yet I miss the mark

As a swirling vortex
of color and mist
Will still obscure the spark

I can count every fear
Every star in the sky
Every tear in my eye
Blinked away

Yet what does it mean
I have come and have seen
The words on my tongue
I can’t say

A maelstrom of words
on a million pages
And still I miss the mark

I search and I seek
through the days and the weeks
still not finding your face in the dark

[overlooked_shadow]

At the center of things
the heart lies heavy
At the crossroad
Dark dreams swirl around

Exciting entrances, lure us in
facades that deny egress
Don't be fooled
You're in the ganglion now

Look again, see the tumulus
see the shining in the snarl
At the crossroad
The juncture of representation

[night faerie]

Will you hold me till I fall
I failed to count the hour
I lost my way and lost it all
the sweetness turned to sour

I lost my focus
caught the breeze
went tripping 'mid the flowers
and now, too late,
I missed the date
Got soaked in summer showers

[overlooked_shadow]

The universe is trying to kill me
My brain is it's weapon
Seeking comfort in
The fuzzy memories of infancy
Repeating these meaningless moments
Perpetually

I can find no solace
My mind, a powerful weapon
Turned inward
If there is no purpose to life
We will whither
Just an echo
To fade forever
As it leans into
The eternal dark

I'm dying to create
An answer for my existence
Hydrogen atoms fusing
As we accelerate
Heavy with doubt
our core collapses

The ghost flies free
On the stellar winds
The uncertainty of
Our photonic guesses
Will speed us on
To a singular plan

Meanwhile, another light
Burns in the sky
Polaris
Polaris
In the north
Born full of power
And cosmic circumstance
The death/life cycle
Of ?ons
Dreams will bleed
From the edges
Of the plane

Intro/Outro

The light travels
Onward through time

Keep me in your Pocket

I am with you, carry me through hell
I am with you, take me to your heart
Forever is a promise
I will never let us part
As you fall with the sands
As you fall, as you stand
As I wept, tears on my face
Swept from my eyes
Into your hand
Into your hand
You are with me, the voice in my mind
You are with me, under a strange spell
I can't break free
I don't want to be
As I fall with you, I hold your hand
We may fall forever
We may never understand
I hope we fall together
I pray we that we never
Touch the ground again

The soul screams
Wake me, wake me!!
I'm in terror but when I escape,
The lull is brief.
Like secret lovers, in a hidden glade,
Shared but soon forgotten.
Another piece drops off,
So I chase after unknown comfort.
The memories awaken the dream
of hidden things, deep within this terrified soul.

- I must find a away out of my eternal dilemma.
The world doesn't end, life won't end, I'm afraid it's not that easy my darlin',
We must do what we must do.
The old legend states- What has been and is, will cease to be.
The soul screams, wake me from the end of this dream,
Where shadows of mystery hide.
There behind the ancient oak, in the thicket, you will find me.
We will sleep there for eternity.

I have to reach you before you go
Oh no
Oh no
Times up, sands in the glass
Will flow
I need to lay inside your voice
When i cannot see
Where i cannot be
A sharp pain reminds me
Reminds of what i cannot say
To make you stay
Don't let this fleeting moment go
Go so
Far away
From me
I have to teach you
Something I don't know
If I cannot see you, my love
This is something I cannot show
Words are halfwits
As good as I sound
I'm too lost to be found
At the end of wires, junk and cables
Underneath the ground
Just go
Cut me loose
I am the fool
One foot over the edge
My neck in a noose
I started at zero to find my trust
One eye opening
But i can't see the way
I'm groping in the dark
For a heart that
Will always stay
Please
Please
Say it one more time
That my words ring true
Talking to you, searching for
A reason to continue
This
My only refuge
Your voice
In my mind
Through time
Past future tense
Nothing now has sense
I am reaching to the sky
In the pitch of dark
Ignite the spark
And watch the fire growin' high

[overlooked_shadow]

I hold my hand over your candle tonight
I let it burn
So I can learn
I pay the price
I make the sacrifice

To let you heal, I let it go for you
I made the choice
I hear no voice
I feel it fade away
I see the end of play

To the journey, to the dream
I raise my hand
So you understand
The sacrifice in me
The way to eternity

I will lay down on this empty throne
For I am no king, I am but a man
Without a home
I will make this promise to you and you alone
Queen of the night, I burn for thee
As the candle melts through, to bone
So i can feel my friend
Be real again
I am reborn in the light
Of my sacrifice

[night faerie]

Someone stole my smile away
I couldn't walk the mile, so i stayed.
Weary, mis- wired and broken, i cried
Then pulled myself to my feet again and i tried.

And in the pitch of night
When shadows hid my tears
I released a silent scream
And wiled away the years
Somewhere i got lost along the way
I find... I forgot who I was... when I stayed

Frightened and forgotten
I was hiding in the dark
Misty- eyed and melancholy,
afraid I lost my spark
Somber silent screams
wondering why and what it means
Somewhere I got lost along the way...

The Bus Philosopher-

If I was a bus philosopher, I would idle all the while

As the people step up to get in my cabin, single file

Wondering at the wanderings of the folks to and fro

If I was a bus philosopher, I could tell you where to go

[overlooked_shadow]

Don't you know ive always been terrified of you
I saw a thing in you, little sparks of love for me
Even way back then
I felt a kinship, no...much more
I needed you so bad my lover, more than
my friend.
I always knew what you were , i thought i could fix you, teach you to love me * the fool*
I saw you cry for my pain, I knew a deep part of you could be awakened but i was scared, I felt your lack of humanity, empathy, conscience. I cried myself to sleep . I wanted to be like you, the others. I hurt people trying to be cool but i lost who i was, what a tragedy. I lost my power, for i am more than decent, i am an angel sent to this earth and I got lost darling. I can help you.

Despite your lack of humanity, i felt a deep affection for me.
I wanted you so, there was in an instant a soul bond , always bound
To be a part of you
I didn't know what I needed to grow, how to be, you see I had lost a great deal of my humanity.

I doubted your ability to be true to me , so I kept myself alone
The pain...
You were always the one I needed
I lived a life of of hell
Oh how I died
I felt I went to far to meet you halfway
I wanted to know how to get back to me, the me you wished for .

What have I brought out in you.
What have I summoned in your soul .

I see you now, I see, I feel your intensity.
My love, my doll, you have me in a hold.
I can't escape, like a dancer in the pit.
I swing my arms and dare them to come get hit
A scary man who looks like a hound from cu'Chulain.
They fly and kick, they suffocate, I'll rip them all down.
I get to air, i get to quench my thirst.
No fear of death, i already died 1,000 times.
I just want to live with you for an internal eternity, (a second, a minute).
I know you've been waiting for an unknown quantity.
I think we fit, I think I can show you to love another me, please let me, there is so much you can teach me as well.
(Brain cracked, soul mad, and a teaspoon of my heart, heavier than the galaxy.) Expanding forever.
