Broken

Darling, when you lose that grin, I turn away in tears.

‘Cause I know the melancholy song that follows,

and each tune’s never easy to hear.

She sings out of key, lips tremble with a chill;

eyes like a furnace, she’s goin’ in for the kill.

No I couldn’t leave her side this time.

Even though she never asked for this rhyme.

’cause no one knows the woman inside; no.

They never bothered to break through the pain in her

azure eyes.

Waving away a broken Angel, never wondering what’s stowed inside,

why she weeps through nights, why her smile only shines,

with a gentle hand at her side.

Reckless Endearment

I stayed up all night with her

Because that’s what she wanted
I cried because I cared
That’s what she wanted
In every word I say she feels comfort
Because it’s what she wanted
But what about a word from you?
That’s what i wanted
A loving smile
It’s all I wanted
A chance with you
Is all I needed
But when i look you’re never there

My heart it beats faster
When I get to see her smile
It feels of disaster
Yet I know its only butterflies
The feeling I get over
When it’s my turn in line
I’ll make it to your eyes
When we climb into the sky…

We can watch the world together
I’d watch it all night
On the moon or the stars
Spend the night on mars
This could be a new begining
If I only knew where to start

I try, But I can’t lie
I’m not the perfect prince
Just the laid back guy
But I’d be anything
Short of the wrong man
Just for one chance
To walk hand in hand

That lonely road

Yeah I know this road leads no where
But I cant help myself from hangin on
Yeah the medication daily is a ritual
It numbs so I’ll keep hanging on
This road leads no where, and
I cant help but wonder
Whats waiting on the other side
If it found the path
The path to a luminous life…

Rough Landing

In the end I’ll open with

an empty harmony,

a soul-less riff

to show how much

or rather how little

I care for your

enchanted riddles that

keep me up

’till the break of

dawn…

…just another of your

helpless

pawns

fore light cannot shine

on curtains drawn.

Though you,

Strive in the darkness

You live to feed on,

the weak-willed

the “cheap-to-thrill”

with a knockout punch

and legs straddled cowgirl

you’ll roll the lifeless body

down a rocky hill

*splash*

another victim of a siren’s will.

The Man Cold

A place of healing

feeling

more like

inevitable death

as I sit

in the room of

impending time

waiting like cattle

For a healer’s cry

To soothe my

inflamed throat and

runny nose.

Preliminary tests show

promise

My height, average

My weight, improved!

The nurse was

mildly

Impressed too.

Oxygen levels strive

Blood pressure

Could be better

But hot damn,

I’m still alive!

Led to an examination

room flooded by

Fluorescent light

“The doctor will

Be with you

Shortly; will you

be alright?”

I don’t hold my breath…

Finally, a being

with a doctorate

arrives

To probe my mouth

and nose with

Stainless steel

And listen closely

To my airway’s rhythm

It’s “just a cold”

She says

“Go get some rest”,

You big baby.

At least the consultation

was free…

Siren Song

It all sounds like a broken record
When you say that it’s the distance;
No, long distance.
Or did we just grow distant?
Because I have heard this all before
From the mouth of a siren by the shore
Dragging me to the frigid depths
A last caress, to compliment a final breath.
