[find-solace-in-yourself]

under a rock

where the bugs reside

safe in my shock

feeling to the side

pretending i belong

with the insects and dirt

no feelings or hurt

knowing im wrong

but fearing the worst

you might find it surprising

i wasnt alone in this rock

i had someone who

would always knock

the hard part is

when youre under that rock

theres no way out

unless you open the lock

she was of light, its built into her name

passed down through

societys reigns

and i felt it, every day

those surrounding sun rays

im learning to leave that rock today

even if you walk away

[find-solace-in-yourself]

the armors chinked

through the scarred abyss

a lovers blink

to the darkest pits

of weary eyes

and weighted souls

shielded by

plated holes

horizons came

battlefields reign

the bison tamed

the siphon slain

many were bruised

many were moved

the dirt had fused

with the bisons hooves

a dawn became

the bison remains

beneath the chains

of the armor frames

[find-solace-in-yourself]

moving too fast

a force of the past

the timing is off

like always it scoffs

maybe the time will tune

one day when the flowers bloom

until then I dont know

you'll find me in the snow

with the wind I will go

as above, so below

[find-solace-in-yourself]

stopping myself

from making it worse

I put it on the shelf

it feels like a curse

deleting texts

a lingering ex

it would be fine

but you didnt speak your mind

now I'm the one

who reflects

[find-solace-in-yourself]

kiss me slow

before you go

did you look for me

through the air plane window

as the sky steals you

away from my home

my scent leaves with you

with your thoughts to roam

in your drunken haze

amid the maze

your lilac gaze

it makes me insane

so kiss me slow, let time suspend,

for this is where my dreams won't end

though you fly far, my heart will know,

I'll carry you still, wherever you go

[find-solace-in-yourself]

Things will never be the same

As quickly as it came

Like an ocean to a flame

For carbon to reclaim

There's no blame or shame

To whoever collects the claim

As death is never in name

Things will never be the same

[find-solace-in-yourself]

as the wind blows below

a rose could not sew

the threads of love

so blistering cold

in the winters soft kiss

soft snow and moonlight

within a cinders bliss

fleeting hearts in the night

[find-solace-in-yourself]

Orpheus - a Jeff Buckley tribute

As a man of wisdom

And a man of song

He wept so beautifully

He poured his heart into his lungs

A melancholy so common

That the rocks could only weep

When you move the world you weigh on

Then the eyes begin to reap

Able to calm the vehement rage of an animal unprovoked

To cross the seas and trees as they curve to every note

In the underworld, where hades is remote, Even He becomes one from the fathoms of the throat

Return now to the land of love and light

Your cries remain here to shine through the night

[find-solace-in-yourself]

As she held your hand and begged you to squeeze

You lay there with your head in the breeze

Aware of it all but unable to greive

We surround you, wanting to believe

Hopeful joking veils the room

For it is death, and he's come to consume

Dont be afraid of the makers tomb

The final breath, as the flowers bloom

[find-solace-in-yourself]

O’er thy misty shadows

Amidst the rain of yesterdays

I succumb to my shallows

Before the sun breaks the grey

[find-solace-in-yourself]

There once was this old, old crow

Who never knew which way to go

He couldn’t hear his fellow birds

All the cawks and the currs

I’ll always see him outside the window

If I would ask, then mama would know

We’d look at the birds come and go

With Pa in the chair

And now it’s time for the snow

To come slow and blow the shadow

I see myself in that little crow

And we’re all still here

[find-solace-in-yourself]

When I reach my room

An empty tomb

Bury me alone

No belongings but stone

I belong to the sound

As the worms wriggle round

I'll give back to the ground

The planet drowned

As I stand before Osiris

Waiting to be judged

This journey isnt over

Through the duat I've trudged

Will I reach the field of reeds

In time for my soul to move on

Will I preach the shield of needs

Mid climb I prime the pawn

Will I see the faces above me

As I leave this temporal chamber

Or will I see the cracks in the ceiling

No one to blame but my danger

Which side of the scale

Will my heart compare to the feather

If I were to prevail

And complete this endeavor

[find-solace-in-yourself]

How would it feel

To jump from star to star

Just to remember who you are

Amidst a fury of gravity waves

How would it feel

To return to sender

Of gods ember

the universal sender

A blitz of fire and blaze

A cells mission was never written

From dust we arisen

It all comes from the same rythym

Who's to say whats meant to be

I wont say itll never be me

Some of these people have faith in destiny

Some others could, use some desperately

And then another may treat it, like weaponry

The next one attacks it with zealotry

All I know is we come from the same place

Endlessly

[find-solace-in-yourself]

Scuffed

And one day when the world succumbs to snow

And all the things we know have come and blown

Youll catch me on the moon

With my toes dipped in bloom

No room to consume

Ill be laughing at it all

The hysterically impalled

Will march forever in torture beyond our eyes realms

Searching for whatever they can find

Grasping onto whatever is alive

To ground themselves to their past lives

Cemented into the sands of time

[find-solace-in-yourself]

Looking for the answers

While winter's hue fades away

Like dancer like prancer

All the blues and the greys

Through the rain and the blame I can't help but feel shame

As for the aim and the main silencer of the flame

Adolescent connection pressed to test the best

Prepubescent convection dressed to impress the rest

Left to dust to rust and compress the next

Petty little reminders of what once was, and whats left

[find-solace-in-yourself]

Never enough to crumble to dust

Whenever I must get up I fumble to just

Fall back down again into the seemingless end

Of a tale once told by many old folks

A trail left behind on the old oaks

To not go chasing what may be breaking

And leave you aching and shaking in your own self portration

[find-solace-in-yourself]

A poem floating through the stream of consiousness

Every night

When I go outside

To inhale my aspirations and exhale my sorrows

I look at the night sky

And all the little white dots

Flaring through the universe

I'll always end up thinking

About those stars

But on a particularly clear night

I was on a stroll through the moonlight

Gazing through infinity I had found

the brightest of them all

it had shone and sparkled so pure and sweet

I could not help but stare

A thought occured to me as i stood there

insignificantly beautiful with all our little quirks

We think its all meaningful of life in our little nooks

Well maybe it is but that is subjective

in the grand scheme of things there is but one objective
