For the love of Soap


jabon pequeno

keep singing
with your beautiful voice.
you tore my heart in two
seeing you onstage
pouring out your heart
to such a small crowd.
i could have cried
right then 
but you were so lovely.
keep singing
keep singing
and i'll keep
listening.
keep singing
and stir the worlds
heart.

A bristling sense of disgust

DOGS

We gaze upon our own image on the screen
and marvel at the beauty
of ourselves.

We are like the dog growling
at its own reflection in the water.

Narcissist?

We have scarcely heard the word
much less know its meaning.

Do we dare climb down from this precipice?

Or will we marvel blankly
at our own magnificence
until the sun falls from the heavens?

Living the lies of everyday lives

a life theology

the mirror beholds 
that we can never truly see.
we can witness
the passing of time
through the days 
we cross off on calendars .
a scary thing is seeing 
all those days behind us
reappearing on our skin.
it is the price we pay
for the simple sin of life.
this is a realm without
innocents,
that is the contrition
which must be paid.

sin rason

throwaway?

it is impossible
to know all 
the hopes and struggles
we each face in our 
individual lives.

that does not mean 
we shouldn't seek
a better understanding
of each other.

through simple feats
of language we should
strive to gain insight
into our fellow travelers.

New Hearts and Old Starts

fiction / non-fiction

all our lives are fiction 
until the need for action becomes
great enough that we rise
from our day to day lives
to transcend the present
and become something
without measure.


shared sunrise

take comfort in the knowledge
that all men rise 
with the same new dawn
every morning.
as great as some 
of the differences 
between us are made to seem
we all share such simple
things.



a new muse?

your smiling face
makes me believe
in something better
for all of us.
don't give your heart away
so easily to men who
have no interest in it.
you are the guiding light
to those of us in search
of the undefinable.


you embody a worldliness and innocence unlike anyone else i have ever known.


we don't always know what is best for us.


Death has a Lifewish.

but beautiful



Hammer

it is 
necessary
for words
to have the 
crushing power
of a
hammer
in order  
for any effect
to occur
in the lives
of those hungry 
empty
eyes.


beautiful blonde

your kind has always known 
the way to tug at the strings
attached to the heart
and the will to get things done.
that beautiful face of yours
could make me do anything 
in your service.
we shall see how tomorrow
shall go.

A New Grey Dawn


Any Other Guess?

What prevents us
from living life
fearlessly?

Insecurity
and the hardship
that is sacrifice

would be high up
on the list
of these things.



Rising

Waking every morning
is the hardest part of living.
Coming out of the ether
and into the conscious realm
is harsh even in the best
of circumstances.


Sickness

I love you
because I cannot have you.
I dream of you
because you are beyond my grasp.
I idealize you
because I am afraid of being closer.
I do this
so I can keep this game going . 


We are made whole
through our struggles
and learn the worth
to all we accomplish.

For My Father



for my father

this is a memory 
that comes down 
loud and clear in my mind
through all the years.

i remember
being a child
so innocent
as to believe
the unbelievable.

sitting in the car with my father
and looking at the red light
and hearing him say

green

and gesturing with his hand
at the light 
as it magically 
turned green.

i was astonished at my daddy
as only a little boy could.

he told me how he knew
but that did nothing to take away
the magic i felt for my dad
and how much i looked up to him.

even now i still strive
to be half the man
my dad has always been.


-----------------------------

The comfort the night provides me
is only equal to the unease
that a night alone can give.

quip

the future
never ceases
to be full of promise
as it is daunting.

Work In Progress

Fantasy and reality are not quite what they seem.
Unbound, unchained through the dreamers domain.
Where you walk,
I will follow.
Where I wander,
you will never know.

Sunrise and sunset both beautiful to behold.
Your laugh, your smile haunt every marked mile.
When I remember
I will forget.
When I am over
that cannot be it.

You Made Me Realise

You Made Me Realise

I run to you
and away from you
time to time.

We near completion
with each other
but are yet 

to seal the bond
that has bound 
us to each other.


Life is the process of forgetting in order to reach the future.


Your touch always reminds me of better things.


If we did not hope then we would have no future.


An embrace can be life saving.

Get Out

Horror

war is waged everyday
in every conceivable
landscape
both inner and outer.

these wars suffer
casualties in flesh
and thought.

one needn't die 
to be a casualty 
any longer.

there are those
who walk among us
as the living dead.




true innovation is always subject to both extreme good and extreme evil.




destination(s)

the future 
becomes much easier
and much harder
to bear 
once you realize
how much of it
is in your
own hands.

Reactivate


pre sent

sometimes
a change in scenery
is all it takes
to make one
feel reborn.
