down yet not out

lost but willing to be found

subjects of a fast receding fantasy

written words swimming in your head

the answers to these questions not now known

subplots and circumstantial evidence murky your final edit

who for not be forsaken to reach this end
I know someday you will have a beautiful Life

    how sweet the sound
    that saved
    a wretch
    like me
    oh i was lost
    but now
    am found
    was blind
    but now i see
    ~all is full of love~

    straddling along the path

    of a never-ending continuation of loss

    time passes with each folding minute

    another wasted thought
    I know someday you will have a beautiful Life

  • the path
    obscured within
    a tangle of burrs
    a tangle thorns
    ripping flesh
    ripping fabric
    ripping hair
    from the root
    each step a success
    against the forces
    from within
    rabbits
    make this place their home
    they give it love
    they give it peace
    finding shelter
    from the predator
    i emerge
    bruised and bloody
    a better man
    than the one that entered
    i feel the power
    from within
    burning bright
    burning hot
    it lights my way
    on a rainy day
    when the clouds are low
    i think of the rabbit
    running from the shot
    hustling thru the thickets
    wishing for a tar baby
    to call his friend
    then think of her hand
    within mine
    understanding
    what the rabbit does
    whe he rubs noses
    with his mate
    life is what we make it
    life is what we make it
    life is what we make it
    life is what we make it
    life is worth
    life is love

    Losing the star without a sky
    Losing the reasons why
    You're losing call and you've been faking
    And I'm not kidding

    It's damned if you don't and it's damned if you do
    Be true because they'll lock u up in the sad sad zoo
    Oh hiding hiding hiding what you trying to prove
    Hiding hiding hiding you're not worth a thing

    Sow your fortunes on a string
    and hold them up to light
    blue smoke will take a very violent flight
    and you will be changed
    and everything
    and you will be a very sad sad zoo

    I once was lost but now I'm found
    Was blind
    but now I see you
    How selfish of you to believe in the meaning of all the bad dreams

    Metal Heart you're not hiding
    Metal heart you're not worth a thing
    Metal Heart you're not hiding
    metal heart you're not worth a thing
    I'm stepping in front of the gushing hydrant in a hurricane. I'd like to see the traction I keep.
  • he sleeps
    uneasy
    but.....
    he sleeps
    undernieth his bed
    monsters wait
    setting bait
    the floor is wet
    with drool
    as they anticipate
    a hand
    falling over the side
    of his mattress
    above his head
    a dream catcher burns
    ignited by nite time visions
    the webbing smolders
    in the dying flames
    two petals hang
    untouched by the ravages of fire
    the cardinal greets him
    in the morning sun
    scratching his head
    he wakes to find
    he's entering
    another day
    another day
    another day
    of sunshine

    you're empty and you know it
    nothing left to do but wait until the pain subsides
    when and not if is the word you hope is the answer
    as you ride high on top the wave of anguish
    I know someday you will have a beautiful Life
