Rowing Or…

Am I really going forward, where am I going, and really wherever I’m headed do I truly want to be there at all. Rowing Or…; I’m no longer drowning but I suppose I was less loss when I was still in the water, for down seems so much better than around.

Rowing
Ass backwards
It’s a curse
Not knowing
Yet I’m going
Yes Ma’am, yes Sirs
Why… I’m not sure
I’m thinking of forgoing

Oars
To sink or swim
I don’t know where to begin
But no more
Dreams weighing me down
Slowly let me drown

No One Goes There

Nowhere to run or hide, to be stuck and afraid, or sometimes to even embrace this place in life, but who can truly do that? No One Goes There but how I have been reminded I was on my way so many years ago.

Where you gonna Turn
Which direction
Haven’t you learned?
Nothing but correction
Going round in circles

Left or right
By those that claim purple
Blinded by the light

Where you gonna Seek
Already there
What they say about the meek
Why should you care?
About a cure

The answer
It’s like cancer
Truth kills faster

Where you gonna Go
It’s a small world
Don’t you know?
So what if home were
Real

Monsters don’t confess
You know the deal
A life repossessed

Where you gonna Run
Can you even see?
In the setting sun
All you have is feet
And then you fall

Flat on your face
Do you bawl?
When the monsters taste

Where you gonna Hide
Nowhere
Because you’ll believe the lie
Are you scared?
You should be

Already lost
Not like me
Your soul the cost

Where you gonna go
Run or hide
No one knows
Or finds

No One Goes There

Happy Endings Don’t Splat… Sometimes

I see what could be happily ever after; I see my beautiful crush, so why would I want to close my eyes for even a second… a kiss and other things perhaps. Happy Endings Don’t Splat… Sometimes, maybe that’s why it’s better I can’t reach her.

To a first kiss… there’s no guide
Front, back, side to side

Could it be I’m falling?
So why does all my clothing fly
Standby…
Your body’s callin’

Just no angel falls out of the blue
As I make capes out of bedsheets
Zero to hero would be quite a feat
Maybe it’s you
I’m still wondering where will meet
Now I’m waiting for an atom bomb baby, we come in peace, sex zombies
Even a magical amulet; would you love me like you do

The sun, the moon, the very stars fall
Why do I want you from all of the above?
All of me, my love
Wants you to stay up there is all

“Stay with me”
Falling is not happily
ever after, and I don’t know what the ending will be

I…

Through the Roof Expectations

High expectations for love perhaps… maybe that’s why I never find it because when “she” comes around I’m always looking down, maybe a quick smile, a quick glance in my direction but no more. Through the Roof Expectations, I have to look up.

To every star in the sky… thank you
My love’s on fire, so take the night off
God shouldn’t see that

Dear neighbors, I think we can be loud too
What were we doing… REALLY at a loss?
Just look at her, you can cut me some slack

And you scream “love me like you do”
But what I want… *cough*
Shouldn’t be said… while I’m on my back
