all to save face,
for the one you love to hate.
it's comin' round again.
that internal sense of duty
that visceral compulsion
to no longer be
a neutral actor
in the tragedy that is
our clandestine affiliation.
A declaration of sins
to confront that which is wrong
end it's tyranny of soul and heart
and abolish the need for this facade.
I would stand and scream

I Just Don't Understand.

Dishonesty and speed bumps
hiccups to truth
why do people lie?
so Much easier
the truth is to me
How do you feel
what is real?
Why is it my heart
you all want to steal?!
Playing these games
while you make up the rules
tell me I'm right all the time
in the end I still lose.
A simple answer is
more precious than gold
so rare in occurance
wanted, desired, desperately sought.
I'll beg and I'll plead
and get down on my knees
still they keep
side stepping the story I want.
Why do people confuse
mislead, and distort?
I'm a slave to my trust
though I have
none of my own.
Until I start reaping the untruth
they have sown.

watching from a window
a whole world
passes by.
across the way
a sight for sore eyes

Distance creates questions
what I see is
too far away
for answers to behold.
verbal telescopes
to prod away at
the mysteries.
It's aggrivating!
I see it but
details escape me.
It could be anything
it could be
what I want
it to be.
Bold actions
assertive fortitude
The strength of will
to suck it up
and ask.
but...
ask what?
dammit!
just ask!
I was wondering....

I Like Your Face.

paired
together they
never part nor
stop.
What they have
is forbidden
what they want
is each other.
They mix,
dance, and
collide
like rain drops
on a puddle.

where one
begins and
the other ends
no one knows.
They

They always
smile.
You would too
if that happened
to you.
