C'est La Vie!

Leaving yesterday behind
Good bye so long
All those question marks
answered with silence
a number answered
so much scar tissue
hard as a diomand
long past time
let lying dogs lie
not worth stringing up 
clear water
just to look through
murky again
the game ended
outcome so different
then all those plans
all along
where were you
now your gone too
C'est La Vie

The Judas tree

The scent of the Judas tree
Hangs in the air
Lingering like a fresh memory
Laughter and ridicule
Worms need to eat too
Tormented by the inner deceit
A puppet in a game
The pawn to be sacrificed
Rules changed as the play lives on
Living in conjecture and derision
Covering the truth in deviation
Manipulation by fate
The clock reads not quite enough
Thee tree's shadow reaches
Elongated and pointing
Through history weaving a tale
Live long
A ghost of your deceit ferments
Intoxicating some
Haunting the tormented
Rationalization a shield that weathers
The tortured souls wonders lost
Read between the lines
The taste bitter
No matter how sweet the wine

Maintaining illusions

Wake me up
when his dream ends
Stuck in this dark place
Faceless stares in the dark
Shadows in the silence
Day time nightmare
The folding in
Swallowing everything
Without mercy or consciousness
Taking souls and throwing life's away
Leaving an empty void
The sadness overwhelms
Wake me up
From the darkness
Say my name
So I know it is real
Let me feel what is real
Let the faceless stares fade
Let this dream end

Fair

Fair Indifferent 

Nature is fair

 were it is redundant 

Eat or be eaten

Responsive to relevance 

Living the way it was

Tainting what will be

Redefining perfection

Memory that maybe 

Correcting mistakes

Fair indifference

Because no one cares

Fair is redundant 

Tainting what could be 

Tainting what should be

Defining perfection

Correcting mistakes

Shadows sways in the wind

The noose tightens
Oxygen restricted
The last sunset takes hold
A rain over cast day
Some how poetic irony

Broken heart
Broken dreams
Broken lullaby

The cowboy know
Reality has a harsh humour
Even in the last second
Hope lingers like dew
Moist on the morning

Laughter and tears
Smiles and regard
There should be more

Hanging in air
Inches above the ground
Lost between here and there
There is a voice
Telling a stories

I am sorry
For this and that
But mostly for not being more

The noose is cut
The man is lowered
Waiting to be taken home
Answers that never mattered
Questions with little empathy

Broken heart
I am sorry
Broken dreams
For this and that
Broken  lullabies
Not being more

The sun sets
Just another ordinary day
Cloudy with intermittent showers
Poetic justification looms
There is silence

Watching the stars cry

Two minutes to silence
Two minutes to sleep
Five minutes before the end

A single kiss that changed the world
Nothing will be the same again
Tired of this game
Thought about it for a long time
Waiting for it
Fifteen days pass time
Watching the sun rise
One last time

Two minutes to silence
Two minutes to sleep
Five minutes before the end

A single kiss that changed my mind
Nothing will be he same again
Tired of waiting
Life has moved on
Miss you like tomorrow
Miss what you were
I am so sorry
Watching the sun sun set
One last time

Two minutes to silence
Two minutes to sleep
Five minutes before the end

A single kiss that changed it all
Watching the stars cry
August is not the same
Cypress in two time zones
Been back only once
Missing who you could have been
Racing through life
In the fast lane
Racing to get back to you
Only for the sudden stop

Two minutes to silence
Two minutes to sleep
Five minutes before the end

Watching the stars cry
As the darkness slowly turns to red
Twisting in the wind
The wind kisses my face
Tears dry on my face
Salty I am sure
The breeze carries the sound of waves
August is never the same
Two minutes to sleep
Two minutes to silence

Life gets in the way

We make plans

We are alive

We all have dreams

Life gets in the way

We make plans

We are alive

we all have dreams

We are not meant to be alone

Damaged hearts can be mended 

A fly walks on the screen

Distracting from the dialog

Hope you find happiness

Sweet dreams

Damaged hearts can be mended

No matter how damaged

Some words hurt 

Not the words so much as truth they hold

We all have plans in this life

But sometimes stuff gets in the way

Dreams are a reminder of broken promises 

We weren't meant to be alone

Watching the suffering

Prolonging the enviable

Moments that make the pain bearable

Hanging on to each

Trying to make them last
