Safe on the Shore

I’m not in the business to save, there are much higher powers for such a career.
How I have encouraged you is dangerous. I made your recovery my mistress
When you are lucky enough to see the shore…..dry land isn't what you are searching for.
We talk in riddles….slay in tongues……but if we listened with our lips & spoke with our ears…..are we wrong?
In lies I’ve trusted…..what is vibrant doesn't appeal to my  darkness any longer
Don't forget to breathe through the now
Passion wasn’t solid when it fell through
What if I told you that in order to fix something, you need to watch it break…..and to heal a broken heart, you need the souls of the fake.
If I happen to drift into the sea, to save my life….you must fear me.

Are You Ok?

My life is before your heart
Censored bliss is not what I beat for
Happiness is not a meme that reads “Goals” or the mat at your doorway
I wish you curved roads because the straight & narrow doesn’t work for the open minded
I’m not worried about you finding my skeletons as much as I am afraid of being buried by them.
When is the last time you truly cared about all of you?
Cleansed your mental. Followed your spirit.
Happiness is not on your keychain nor did it come to your house for temporary fulfilment after drunken nights
Your happiness just slipped out of your bed…..square one, stay stuck.
Until you realize that you might need to look to the shadows to gather yourself instead of hiding in the light…..true liberation won't occur
Self destruction is the easy route….turn that bitterness to sweet, tell yourself it’s alright
Never get livid at the idiotic people though I go berserk at the dullness of my life
Sit & gaze into a dusty window…..the empty face stares back at me and whimpers
Look to your core to be joyous before you starve for the world to make you happy.

Choosey Susie

Where will you stand when there is no stability?
After you change your pace, fall flat on your face & you don't known if the almighty will remember your grace…..it could happen
The savagery to live & be comfortable will leave you reckless
Those fun time smoke clouds can only give you so much shelter until your demise starts to pour down
Did you really think about what you did?
You've stated your cause now where is the effect?
Find a new release
Don't always suspect the suspected
Where will you be after the shadows have receded?
Will you look for more darkness?
Now it's time to be choosey……you are not your choice, you will live your outcome.

We Are Just Friends

People change just like a thought process
This time I was just being hopeful
You were never an afterthought
Maybe destiny stops here
Soul sharing eye contact must leave
Let's coast, that's easy for you
But why can't you be my kind of difficult?
Your words change my world while you’re trying to change the world
I’d rather not fall or fail with your nightmare
You put me in danger when you held my hand
I was thrown under the bus when kissed by you
Now I’m dying in this bed because of my own faults…..I allowed you into my daydream
We are not the angel without wings, when we’re alone together……I’m the devil that speaks
So shake my hand comrade……since that’s all we’ll ever be

Troubled Release

In a world of smoke and ashes, mmmmmm…… you are my milk and honey. My spirit is UFCing my logic. I can't untangle the confusion. You are a pathetic man’s illusion. Educate me silly…..our laid back silence has me tamed. When the rain is blowing in your face & the ballad doesn't feed that empty space, let me offer you a warm embrace. You are delightful to my soul & I know why I lose control whenever I'm around you because you are exactly what I’ve been missing. I am fighting. Solely, the ups & downs have had us jumping back and forth but will that be our leap of faith? Can I  hold you for a million years……after the ribbons are untied…..flowing into tears. Since you are unsure, don’t touch me when the late night shadows and the stars appear. I’ve known it from the very first hug….no doubt…..in my mind, is where you belong. Would you go crawling down the avenue, compromise your sanity….honestly, the savage travel through the unaware has my next journey entitled…….you. Torn apart. Don't take away from yourself. Bring your heart back….don't take it straight to hell because when you emerged out of the River of Jordan…..you purified me.
I’ve survived the rage of a rapper
I controlled the lashings of a singer
I longed for the passion of a painter
I’ve devoured the loneliness of the man behind the camera. I am tired of being the bass of the drummer. Caress me like your guitar…….player. I'm in love with a man who could change the world....but I need to know if he is serious so I can back him. Should I love him or leave him? Time will tell me.....if he is ready

Unfinished Business

There is nothing wrong with being born into the arms of imaginary friends.
You won't be tragically vivid
Shout out to the pain that gave me understanding
Epic pain has arisen
Grossly untouched, sadly shaken
Without all the burdens, I am traveling light.
When you are lost, the rapid search has you wisely weary
But where is my identity? What is this family? Why don’t I belong? Is it me?
You are not forsaken.
Your treasure is to be off rhythm. Your sound is high pitched, not for everyone to discover.
For you….walking is harder than running & crawling is ridiculous.
Being microscopic doesn't mean you aren’t  vicious.
So do your dance……write backwards….eat slow…..read constantly
When your recovery has found you & your journey has set you free……you’re not finished
Lost or found…..Life is always unfinished business

Light Dance

When he left the light, it wasn't really a choice.
The untimely brightness burned his honesty.
Constant shimmer tainted his imagination.
Was it time for him to see if he was human?
Candid Crash. Royal Fumble.
There was no choice to leave the light for the light clawed & pushed….chased & stabbed
He was broken.
Not apart of the group because he was that one.
You can never carry a light you are tired of defending.
Earth strong he was but his brain bled black & empty.
He had left his compassion.
There was no choice to leave the light until he let the sun set.
Even though the pain troubled his heart……4 steps away never felt so powerful.
He left the light for his dim life to shine.
Phoenix, he is now living

Where We Left Off

I carry you with grace & silence. 

What I can't feel isn't real & what isn't real won't change. 

So easily mesmerized when I read your colors. 

Before I felt your essence, I knew your pain. 

It screamed from the corners of your eyes and melted from your lips. 

Deep rich torture. 

On the blind side, I want to live your dark side.

Slash the ripper, Jack the king.

Born from your breath, mysterious from Oz.

You are my slight truth while I lie next to you. 

The tension is mad heavy but with you, I'm lightweight. 

I carry you with silence because I'd rather not share. 

I carry you with grace because I'm the shadow of your flare. 

When we run out of words to say, I promise I won't make you feel bad. 

Let's just be. 

Matte Grey

Matte Grey

Don't ever forget how you lay 

Vibrant, no tyrant....i always can depend

When i forget, will you help me remember?

A solid mixture of the mass produced 

Scuffed metal or a iPhone wonder 

Let all your tones show what's wise & how we still learn from you 

Just always remember you're way out is your way through

Quick Draw

Quick Draw

So she clinged to the gun smoke
A rise to the occasion
The lick to the open bullet hole was the garnished poison
Taste so warm, felt so sweet
Full lips dripping peaceful sin
She thanks the warm metal for the passionate release
The lady speaks......Well done, we've been there before & 10 times over.....she has been saved
The healing comes not in the morning but when she realized it was my turn get rid of her. My one...the one. I heal....she drops....seasons change...
I speak.....What wrong my love? My air? My water? We prepared for this.......she hands me our brain, i hug that sweet chilled metal
I drink the poison from her fulness & i remember our life. She is frozen. My fresh release will be her bullet hole...she saved me because this is our forever. She is my negativity & I'm letting her go
I am my survival and I'm dying slow
So i used the cold brain & blast.....the peaceful sin. The revisit to this sanity is my day to day. I've been here before & 10 times over.
