Tipped

I climbed the ocean
To reach the tree tops
To walk against the sky
To make my way across clouds
To gain wings and glide
To see the world from a birds eye

I jumped off the ground
And landed upside down
To see a different picture
To hear backward sounds
To cry about different reasons
To find new winds and seasons

But im sitting in white
With a window wide open.
Lights on, dark nights.
Fear is your own creation.

Catching Airwaves

What was the reason
The reason for you
Wish I could steal
Your cold heart from you
Washed up and thrown out
You left me to bleed
Can't take anything else now
From me

What else could you ever need?
I gave you all I had,
Till there was nothing left to breathe

The air left my lungs
When your hands left me bare
Nothing to mask the pain
And I ached
Lied awake

No more light
Was left to see
You were the light my eyes believed
And I wrap myself
Where it's safe to hide
Lock the door
And stay inside

Scared to face the world
Now it's just me
You took a part
That'll always be empty

A hollow bone inside me wears
And I still wonder where you are
I live in a different place now
Deep inside, I've travelled so far

This bullet lodged reminds me of you
A dirty scar you left me with too

The Answer You've Been Looking For

Have you ever
Been so empty?
Inside is a hollow room
Outside is a darking loom

Where petals fall
And shackles break
Where pain is felt
And quiet is fake

We take pictures
That just dissolve
And strum guitars
That dust and grow old

Like a temple of wine
And an age of fire
Like a bible that lights up
Infants in laughter

Just a cage
We feed the thought

Cut your chords
And jump
Open your parachute
And fly

Shut your questions off,
And just try.

Orange

Sensual
It tingles
I swear you could be real

Not just a presence I believe exists
Not just a tempted, loaded kiss

My heart, it breathes
My limbs, they ache.

And everything is soft and full of desire

Everything as white as snow
The temperature drops
And everything rises

We are heat, and warmth
Bed sheets to ravel our secret
Between closed mouths
We keep it

Drink In my spirit
And turn off my light
I'll never forget
To kiss you goodnight

Sleeping in Space

Last night I had a dream
I went to space
I didn't come back

But I'll tell you this
I stood on mars
Red and absorbing
Mesmerizing and shaken

I slept on Saturn
Bright and yellow
Danced on her rings
explored all the fellows

Different creatures
Different games
A reality we have found
That's not sane

Closed my eyes and went to sleep
Lost in space
Where I'll stay,
Go to sleep.

They Call it Caving

I feel like I am
Standing in a novel

But it's just a building
With windows

Cause outside looks so far away
Overcast and filled with grey

Traffic sails and winds that fray

Cities filled with pride
I hide in mountains, life's disguised

Because if reality is this crowded
I'll need a secret place

People tight and wounded
All living a dysfunctional race

Out of balance
Pop your pills
Cast away the black that spills

And hang on to the glitter
Reading through the night

Escaping from a box
Without a manual
Within the rocks

Overtime

Just a piece?
He asked.
But I am not full of pieces
Or answers
Or questions
Or mirrors
Or tension.

I am a picture without a frame.
I am solid without a game.
I don't need words
Or whispered songs

You said too much
And it was all wrong

But I have stars
That fall apart

And I have skies that lay above
And you have love that is lost

Sorry for leaving
Sorry for your silence

I broke, you faded
I once was blue, lonely and jaded.

Then something speaks to you,
Traveling and gleaming true.

I have nothing left to give
So don't look this way
I have found a place to live
So breathe now, let's forgive.

The Comatose State

Upside down
Trees look more tangled
More frightening than sheltering

The sky looks more like a postcard
To a place that can't be traveled

The ground looks more dull
And frozen

The shadows look like yourself
And you're terrified

When you move, they move.
When you think, your thoughts think.

Biting your nails won't save you,
But you tend to continue the habit

Bite your tongue instead,
Believe the dark is dead.

Arrows fly far ahead,
have you followed
Where they lead?

Have you healed where you bleed?
Swept the dust from your knees?

Kiss the stars that shed
As you lie awake in bed
Waiting for the panic
When your minds satanic.

Burried in books,
Words are oxygen.
Keep reading.

Agoraphobia

I swerved into a galaxy
Everything was red
Like I was standing inside a fire.

My hands shake, and my heart
Beats
Beats out of my chest

And I try to find a pill to cure
What's happening
And I try to find an exit to escape
Where I've been

The more you run,
The more lost you'll get.

The hallway becomes longer,
The door gets further
Until you realize
The door is an illusion
A tease.

Hold on to your rope
Clench on to light
It still bleeds through cracks

If this were another dimension
I wouldn't know the difference
Between life
And death.
Black or white.

Sparks

You were a glimpse of light.

The one people wait for to peak over the horizon.

But you never rose.
You fell, you burnt out.

More like a comet, but I was hoping for the sun.

I'll still stare at the sky,
With starry eyes.

Wait for the night
To arrive.

Look up; you are guaranteed beauty.

But by foot I have the world to see.
A map to hold.

A friend to sing,
"Embrace the sky."

Sorry I'm so Far

Some days
I swear I could hear a voice inside me.
I could see the truth in front of me.
Just a shadow that lingers.

I swear that somedays I am strong and fearless.
And others I fall and melt away.

And when the panic kicks in,
I'm surrounded.
And when goodbyes are said,
I am bounded.

There are pages I want to fill,
Words brewing, waiting to spill.

I am paralyzed by the cold.
