No Letters

Sun, 21 Oct 2012 11:18:00 -0400

Father, now how was I to write with no letters?
No letters grace the page
Frame the crease
The crease
You left.

Father, now I’ve spent a year writing with no letters.
No letters have arrived
No return to sender
No sender
Addressed.

I'm Not Him

Sun, 21 Oct 2012 11:16:00 -0400

You slip up now as you slipped up then
Callin’ me the man that you called friend
We may look alike, he’s my daddy, true
But let’s get this straight: I’m not him.

Nature Hasn't The Answer

It was the Allegory which told of our immeasurable ignorance and incommunicable wisdom. Since our inception, the sun and the moon have been beacon to our comprehension, that we may understand duality; good and evil, light and dark, life and death. It is the latter in which I am puzzled, for never has the sun gone out before its time. So why should you, child of nature, be any different?

Do not leave me. The moon does not shine alone.

The Second City

The Second City:

museshoes:

I’m awake again, 4 AM in Chicago. The city whispers with sounds not unlike the churn and clash of distant ocean. The weather’s cool and inviting, and from the window can be seen a thousand lives in one space. The trees barren, bend and contort around the livings of the thousand in one, their…

Of The Things I'll Never See

Sat, 20 Oct 2012 01:51:00 -0400

There are things in this world I never thought I’d see.
You were all there was to have;
Your heart a lock with no key.
Every breath
A step
Towards an end not for me.

You were mine
Never to have.
All the dreams that paved this path.
You’re the mortar in these walls;
My foundation.
Never attained salvation.
Ever growing deprivation.
All I need.

And that is why
You and I
Cannot be.

Out Of This Body

Sat, 20 Oct 2012 01:35:00 -0400

This time makes me feel as I’ve never felt before.
I could fall…
right out…
of my body.

And should you be there, I’m a feather to the floor.
I’ll fall…
right out…
of this body.

Clandestine slips of the tongue, to your lips.
My heart…
falls out…
of my body.

We slip away to a night full of play.
But no love…
pours out…
of your body.

Oh,
You’re his to be sure.
I tried my best to be pure.
When admitting all my crimes,
We had such a wonderful time.
But oh,
You’re his to be sure.

Delusion's Road

Sat, 20 Oct 2012 01:24:00 -0400

Picked up a leaf
On a lifeless road.
Was it really there?
I don’t know.
But I take it as…
I take it as proof we’re close.

Just down the path there’s a mountain that ascends in to the sun.
I’ll climb with you till our kingdom come.
You may be distant now, but I won’t fall behind-
Where’d you go?

I am not alone
On this lovelorn road.
She dispenses clues
Only I would note.
And soon it will come to view,
The mountain where I met you.

Just down the path there’s a mountain that ascends in to the sun.
I’ll climb with you till our kingdom come.
You may be distant now, but I won’t fall behind.
We’re going to reach that place, darling. I never missed a sign.

Where’d you go (x4)
I’m not crazy,
Where’d you go?

My memory fails me.
Was there never even a sign to see?
I got to where that mountain should be.
It only turned these miles to misery.
Checked my pocket for that leaf.
I found a note that read “Don’t wait for me.”
Don’t wait for me…

I’m not crazy,
Where’d you go? (x4)
I’m not crazy,
Where’d you go?
Where’d you go?
Where’d you go…

Childhood Places

Sat, 20 Oct 2012 01:16:56 -0400

White, white distance
Extends in to the
Black, black horizon
All I had to fear is now unknown
Long, long away
Are those memories
Awful, awful memories
Of a world that thought itself a home

Daddy's Girl

Sat, 20 Oct 2012 01:12:00 -0400

When I first met you
You couldn’t remember my name
No, I’m not Luke
But thanks all the same
And if I can be honest
I think you’re pretty swell
And though it was wrong, I fell…

People, not places
Are the things that make a home
When I’d met your daddy
I knew inside you weren’t alone
And though times were tough
You were strong and filled with pride
I suppose it was because you had him beside…

I called up one day
As was common by now
But you wouldn’t speak
Through your friend I found out
He’d gone away
A heart failed much too soon
And you and your home were then consumed…

People, not places
Are the things that make a home
When I‘d met your daddy
I knew inside you weren’t alone
And though times were tough
You were strong and filled with pride
I suppose it was because you had him beside…

As I’d promised him before
I came knocking at your door
I would be at your side
Through that trying night
But my presence wasn’t long
In time we’d be gone
And in failing you, I had failed him too

People, not places
Will always be our homes
When I’d met you
I thought I’d never be alone
And though the tough times are past
You’ll find more on your stride
But you’ll always be your daddy’s girl inside
