Anger caused by past loves deaths.
The pain of betrayal throbs in your chest.
The tightness of throat barely able to swallow.
Teeth clenching agony, a mind full of sorrow.
The tainted residue of love left for all to see.
The only cure to be sick again and be set free.

Never wanted to need someone
Could never admit I really did-
Walked the road on my own
Kept all my emotions hidden.

But it was too wide and too lonely
til you came along that day
Now Ive decided I should
Tuck all my pride away-

I see forever in your smile
You make me want to hold you all night long.
There is a tear in my eye
For my emotions overflow-
And in your arms is where I belong...

I didnt want to love you-
Didnt want to take the risk,
And I cant put into words
Just what this really is.

BUt I know I've never been as high
As I feel with you right now
You've broken through the walls
Though I cant explain how-

I feel the heat in every touch
You make me want to hold you all night long
There is a tear in my eye,
And my emotions overflow,
And in my heart is where your love belongs...

were it me,if I were this only one,
my heart wouldn't be a lonely son,
none to fall,come to call,
please tell me of this Lone Gun,
yhe lonely one who stands so tall,
for in your eyes,
who makes your sighs,
through your grey skies,
flight of high,
to clear your sky,
who would be this so lucky guy ?

RUE


I've been trying to convey ,
The pain I feel , its hard to say
The sorrow fought on through the day
The grief I fight in evey way
The hurt so deep .
What can I do?
How would it be if you lived in my shoe?
Could you handle or have a clue ,
For every day I wake ,suffer and feel the rue.

Intelligent , rational , intellectual and factual
Incomprehensible , asinine and inane .
Understanding the shrewdfulness
Might make you go insane .
Unprofound and superficial ,
Really is the meaning .
Witticism not criticism ,
Is what I am convening .
Apptitude , intelligence
It really does not matter.
Words come to me and flow ,
Like constant chatter.
Cognizant and mindful.
Lunacy insanity ,eccentric
You might say .
Shrewdness and perspicacity ,
Acuteness and audacity,
It is just my way.

looking for the road to hapiness
got lost on the way
all i found was sadness
and pain to fill my day

looking for love
my hearts heart
thought i found my dove
but she tore me apart

an angel came to me
when i thought all was lost
and helped me to see
i had what mattered most
my daughter

I had dream....
The whole world had a peacfull quiet blue glow to it.
Every man woman and child thrived and enjoyed life.
No pain, no hunger, no malice no strife.
Then again ...it was only a dream?
And if not..what would that mean?

WE TALK, WE LAUGH, WE PLAY, WE SEE,

CALL ME, CALL YOU, FOR YOU, FOR ME,

I WANT, YOU WANT, FOR US, TO BE,

BUT ARE YOU REAL, DO YOU REALLY FEEL

A GHOST OF MY DREAMS, THIS IS WHAT IT SEEMS

LETS PLAN TO MEET, AND MAKE SOME HEAT

NOT TODAY, OH NO NOT RIGHT AWAY

SO STILL MY GHOST, AND WE STILL COAST

NO CLOSER TO FEEL YOUR TOUCH, WHY DOES THIS HURT SO MUCH

AM I TO LIVE THIS LIFE APART, OR WALK AWAY WITHOUT MY HEART

JUST TO KNOW YOUR REALLY THERE, I WOULD DRIVE ANYWHERE

BUT STILL WE DO FOR ALL TO SEE, THEY SEE YOU, AND THEY SEE ME

WE TALK, WE LAUGH, WE PLAY, WE SEE,

CALL ME, CALL YOU, FOR YOU, FOR ME,

I WANT, YOU WANT, FOR US, TO BE,

BUT YOUR STILL MY GHOST THAT I CAN'T SEE.

Escape
From this box I'm in
Lid on tight ,air is thin
Suffocating me in my sleep
Waking me in frantic weep
Making me want to tear through the nite
Screaming clawing , chase the fright
Scare IT away , get IT out of here
Keep it far dont let it near
Take a bite and swallow the fear
End the pain and wash it clear.

Electrostatic Thinking


Like electricity , I am following a path
Resistance all around , unyet I still find a way
Something magnetic in that poetic surge
Drawing from all around , and the currents merge
Convection in the words that flow
Turning them on to watch them glow
Lighting them all up in an array
Charging me through the hard long day.

MTPABBIOS

My soul hurts its been cut so deep
The blade is sharp and haunts my sleep
Dark so cold , I feel its creep
Pain so harsh , watch it steep
Anger within ,driving nails that reap
Bitter resentment inside I keep
Building exasperation to add to the heap
I am looking for a chasm in which to leap
Or a crack for my soul to seep
Smothered now I'll return to sleep.

electricity for you and me,
not just for us to see,
but not even for complicated machinery,
we build dams across our streams,
clog us down with dirty dreams,
industry,with smog,nature screams,
fish hate poluted waters,
cow chewed grass,or chicken fodders,
progress please,do not do this,
you drag tuggs up n down O'l Miss.,
our seas have donr their best,
to give this poor planet just a rest,
cut down forests just for wood,
lost more meds to help us feel good,
cleared the land,raped 'er good,
mother nature please,save our woods,
break those dragons of steal,
let those loggers know th' deal
fuck 'em back if you can,
shove 'em in a trash can,
let 'em see one and all,
progress sucks for some not all,
we do need a lil' but not all,

STREAMS OF THOUGHT



I am channeling words from another place
trying to keep up , its like a race
Here they come flowing through my brain
They permeate my skin even through the rain
Wind blows , there they are ,
I cannot escape them , even in my car
Maybe if I drive real fast ,
I can leave them in the past
They will not stop ,they will not go
Where they come from , I just dont know .

HATE*ING


Take my heart you wicked thing
Keep it , I dont want to feel the sting
You ruined it , you crushed the thing
Tainted it , no longer want the spring
Bitterness and malice for what you bring
Into the fire , I wish to fling
And I blame YOU for my loss of zing !

PLEASE oh please no hate please,
no more of that, if only you tease,
give us hope,or even loves fear,
question unknown,make it Dear,
but this one thing we ask,
if you take this rhymes task,
please make us ask,pleas,
make me weak in my knees,
not more jealous hate,
please do not castigate,
fancy turns,not ugly burns,
this is poetry please,
no body hackin'
no jaw slackin',
please love only please,
love the sky,
the ground and neigh,
the forests and I,
from our waters in th sea,
'tis poetry for you and me,
no hate,unless it's greed,
greed is one, we don't need,
feelings born,
emotions torn,
or jokes of corn,
and some smoke weed,
love is all we really need..........M.
