Those We Care About

in the hours of morning
i sit here and ponder
about the ways people are


every person is different
and therefore they have different thoughts
which would be expected


yet in life i see it as
a forming of two groups
well more specific, three


those that are in tune with everything
they continue life through harmonizing
its what they do, they are in focus with the world


related to them are the middle objectives
they walk and don't run
while feeling nonchalant about certain topics


while on the complete opposite
are ones who disregard everything
its golden to them, yet to us we see blinded


for that's what they are, blinded
they cannot see because of a certain anomaly
this which attracts them for reasons all differing


it is in these people we fight for
although they might be all together a lost cause
yet aren't lost causes the only ones worth fighting for


and in this it creates scepticism
on what to fight for in different eyes
yet it is nothing but expected


while the worried continue to worry
and the fighters continue to fight
the blinded shall remain blinded as long as they "see" nothing of it


find a reason for them and they shoot it down
with confirmation that its false, to them
they want reasons to be what they are


they have no other knowing its what they think by
lies and deceit follow to make things worse
and yet we fight

Always and Forever

hours on end can we converse
never can or shall it halt
together we follow the
same road that leads to
different destinations for us both
minds alike and thoughts different
we grow as one and
further on we shall forever walk

Licht in der Nacht

draws closer it does
with the wind at its will
it rips across mountains
and looms high over plains

the wind whispers messages
of secret into our ears
as our eyes are fixated
upon the vast sky

becoming day for mere
moments in time
they travel swift and brief
hiding from the darkness
that is layered upon all

illumination gathers together
to patrol the hidden valleys
that hide themselves under
the all encompassing night

mountains appear and vanish
before our very eyes
taking only moments in time
to become lost once again

Sleep

journey with me
down a road
of unspoken mystic
travel to the edge
of the world
with your hand
in mine





cheat and lie
see what may come

a woman gets stabbed
by a mugger who wants
to only acquire enough money
to feel his children who
get above average grades
in most all of their classes
thanks to their tutor who
volunteers at their school
every Wednesday after school
in the library which is
overseen by the librarian
who spends most of her
time hidden behind a
book recommended to her
by her friend who
is an editor for
the local paper that
only had the position of nights
which was taken by her
because it was within
walking distance to
her apartment


weigh your life on a
thread and hang it from
the higher meanings
does the string break
does it fall


pure emotion
released in
the form
of an
uttered word






hands smell of death
colored by the blood
that once brought life
water does no good for
it is deeper that
what is seen


temperatures plummeting
ice caps expanding
what have you done
where were you


why can one
not understand
the meaning
of the words
that flow
from the mouths
of those
who care


all you hear
is a scratching
it grows louder
as you make
the choice
to get closer






the tears we cry
only shows how
we cannot manage
the pain that we
as humans have
to endure everyday
the torment that we
put up with during
our lives shouldn't
be the reason to end
the once acclaimed
Golden Era that we
once lived in



cold sharp pains
begining to linger
as the moments
that make up
time begin
to pass


broken body lying in a bed
staring blankly at the wall
what has become of them
shall they continue or cease to be
they can be the only ones
that have the power to choose


i turn my back
on the world and
wait for another
day a stronger day






those that have spoken
of thought their minds
drawn close to that
of the open sky


out there
can you see them
they ride forever closer
to those who notice


will you dance with me
in the wind while
the moon watches
we shall let the
grasses create such
music in the
hours of darkness

Transparent

why for is it that i am so different, what factor is it that they posses that i myself don't? why must i be the minority among the majority? the factor isn't about a feeling of such happiness or liking ones self, its more of a question of why difference among the different. as we are all different with each different attributes, but why myself, can i not live through changing times unharmed while i remain up against a wall with nothing at my side?

Fill Them

i run as fast as i can
yet i get nowhere
i take a deep breath
and yet my lungs take in no air
i open my eyes as wide as they will allow
and yet all i see is darkness
i conserve beneath a mountain of blankets
but still i feel no warmth
i drink gallons of heavenly water
and yet my thirst cannot be quenched

Can You See the Black of Night

as for me
i stare at the moon
in the waking hours
of the night while
the stars above
shine like never before
as if knowing they
shall not get another
chance to give off
such a light that I'd
never been privileged
to see with the
eyes that belong to
nobody but me
