I am not

"I am not, therefore, I do not think" said Mona Lisa on the wall I stared back and raised an eyebrow And she raised one back and smiled "I am not, therefore, I do not think" said the light bulb illuminating the cobblestone steps before me so that as I continued my walk in the dark of the night I wouldn't stumble and would feel less lonely "I am not, therefore, I do not think" said the cold fire inside my chest but I listened to it anyway all the burning, wrenching, twisting – When will it be put to rest? In time, twinkling snowflakes would drift and drop upon my head In time, the halo of calm would all return And I'd be at peace each night in bed

two trains

All it took was a moment's scan of your words And some of my dying embers were relit Soft spoken but very real, the flavors of reality still sweet In all that you write It's too bad we just missed each other - like two trains speeding towards one another so quickly, only to find that they're on different tracks Maybe it's better that way. So there's no wreckage.

shroud

A shadow of a portrait that I once held on the wall People still stop and admire, rest their chins in their hands and thoughtfully smile But I have since took down the frame And let the dust settle on it from afar An occasional smile, glance, eye contact But usually her hair shrouds her queenly image a sliver of brilliance; a whole history of accomplishment hidden

rituals

sunrise melts the tip of my brain to sharpen it nightfall chills it to an icy cold knife it pricks my skin, drawing ink for the words that hide here I can feel some of the words shouting to each other, trying to link arms, join hands I want to let them, but they divide into clans, cause war

stormy

your words are raindrops on the window I sit inside, facing away, by the fireplace waiting for the storm to pass and when it does if it is still dark I will be the candle that directs its heat this way and that occasionally settling to be someone's bonfire

Beethoven and Eminem - Fur Elise and Stan flutebox cover

Polar Music Studios was kind enough to record me for this short cover!

I have to thank my friend Conner Frey for introducing me to the different equipment involved and giving me a bunch of recording tips.

One dollar shirt and tie

One dollar bill folded into a ring. I think I might pick up origami as a new hobby.

throwing vases at windows

the walls must be talking; the ceiling, wagging a finger; the floor holding me up so I don't fall any further. they cursed themselves yet they say they are cursed they throw vases at windows to see which breaks first. do they create a way out, or merely shatter their inner art?

stockholm syndrome

so you lock me up, both heart and head, in an invisible hallway taunting me with 2 doors the key is as invisible as your intention the doorknob as smooth as your skin I look both ways, the doors facing each other at opposite ends the hallway shrinks, threatening to suffocate the walls close in, forcing me to decide yet I hold both doorknobs, refusing to let go why can't you just free me of this stockholm syndrome?

autumn wind

autumn wind turns to rain the night is long, drawn out, tame slake a thought slay that maimed injury felt out, pain tremble that so feeble hand shake the world the palm again drop the sword hold it high let it stop the feeble cry

Guitar holder Laser cutting project using the laser cutter at Google. I made this so I could rest my guitar down without worrying about how the frets might be turned if I didn't set it down carefully. ("daze" is one of my aliases.)
