Balance

read the writing on the door

didn't mean to set the pace

caught a glimpse of someone else

in this absent minded face


in another universe with

1,000 mountains and my trees

a river pulls me slowly

with it's confidence and ease


the balance hides inside

le ingenue that binds it so

and baths in both worlds

living it as living no




Beautiful

i only own one dress, my hair is always a mess,

i hardly ever guess, i'm not bad at chess,

some say i'm beautiful


i have a cat named moon, i never cum too soon,

i rarely wake at noon, they'll call me aroon

that's so beautiful


i know a girl called rose, we always go to shows,

she's got weird toes, she'll never have our foes,

cause she is beautiful


i have tears i shed, i love you in bed,

it'd be you if i wed, never heard the words, i said,

you're my beautiful


i only see my dave, my mind is so concave,

it's my heart...my grave, and your love i crave,

beacause it's beautiful


i only hide my fears, i can drink two beers,

it's been many years and i still hear their jeers,

i'm not beautiful


i love human touch,i love 'making love' so much,

you know i always blush, at all you say, you gush,

you think that's beautiful


i only hear to see, i'm never eye-candy

never the one to be, bird drowned in the sea

how rarely beautiful


you say i was the best, my heart beats in my breast,

you surely jest, i always be such a pest,

now THAT is beautiful




Because We Dream In Black and White

Behind the dreams we dream

Black chariot, white sky

The color washed from the pallette


Absence and lack leave only

starkness, pale, unyielding

And we are left with strange oddities


We will never know the joy of

color; life in the day,

Because we dream in black and white




Beliefs

Do not let the spirit of lament

run over you time and time again.


Do not wish for things, undreamed, with

starry, awe-stricken eyes.


You have the power to succeed

with the greatness of your mind

and the strengths that lie within your soul.


Sweet harmonies will echo through

your mind and tunnel sugared lies into

your untainted thoughts.


Have the faith that draws you on,

the beliefs that carry you through

doors unopened.


And do not let sweet nothings be

whispered in your ears, you do not

need these coy distractions


Discard the maps that have your course

engraved upon them, and make your own way

through this muttled world.


A moment of truth, live for it.

A meaning to live, search for it.

A second of love, die for it.




Black

water trickles sin

black contrasted against white

a shade found within




Bowl Of Cherries

The stain in the rug won't

come out, trust me I've

scrubbed at it myself.


The little girl in the

room wearing curlers

denies help for reach of a shelf.


And the stars are shining.

The wind is blowing.

The world is perfect,

Yet tears are flowing.


The fog swallows me whole

No cherries, no cherries in the bowl


I can't be amused under

these tainted sheets, no

Life to suck from these teats.


The innocence stares from

the doorway, shocked at what she

sees and shamed


The stain seems small now

that the rest is blemished as well

But the wind will blow and

The stars will swell


Till the fog swallows me whole

No cherries, no cherries in the bowl.




Burnt

You say beauty is a gift I hold

Another bestowed upon

unknown features and clouded eyes


I live locked in a cage

which I built around myself

Cold unfeeling bars and stripped

Insensitive by unseen forces


Gossamer wings on satin skin,

glowing in your sweetness.

Basking in my lack of freedom,

I watch you as you glide around


Original; stolen qualities that

made me a reality.


A soft breeze, like little kisses deep at night,

extinguish stars until tears of acid

burn through the blanket of darkness


Daisy chains and queen anne's lace

all sway gently through the air

My locks of fawn lay still,

unfettered by this untimely freshness


I crave a newness;

not this repetitve circle and orb

A star burnt out must wait to be lit again.
