The Average Woman

The average woman needs no introduction

She simply is and occupies her place with purpose

The average woman lacks no grace

Her potential hidden by of course

all the other average females

Her hair is full her legs long

Her smile always lingers at the corner of her mouth

The average woman fights for

I wish I could afford

the plane ticket 

to travel all the way to you.

But I don't think there is enough

to pay the cost

to really get to you.


Instead you seem to be that beautiful photo

glanced in a magazine

while waiting for my oil to be changed.

I saw you last night I am sure I did
Stood at the bus stop while I was waiting for the 133.
Having yet to meet I knew only the shadow of your face
But I am sure it was you sure it was you stood there.
The bus came the doors

The Stranger I Am

I want to remain the stranger I am

Walking the streets unaided; indifferently gazing

So that when I sit upon that hill

My dreams are not silenced against my will.

And the weeding fields beneath my feet

Are as punished and wild as the soul inside of me

Through the thorns of the rocks
Through the wind and the storms
 
Unyielding stubborn
Collapsing as the crow flies
Undeciphered yet simple
Independent yet humble

Praise the sky and the sun
Your pillar of grief to become
Your pillar of wisdom

You are against

Where have I been roaming
Why do these streets keep calling
I follow the circus out of town
Jump the train into fields overgrown

There’s a freezing blue outside
The darkest hours are still alive.

We are all passing with the wind
To the sky we never cling.

Somebody’s homeless tonight
Asleep on the steps of midnight.

Death isn’t what it used to be
Dying men go

All roads lead to tranquility bay
Each and every river flows down to the sea
But I am lost upon this road
And no tranquility have I found
The sea is millions of miles from me.

And the curse it has been
That I should look into her book
And read the

I sat there naked...but I was fire I saw you just a blur before my eyes but it was everything and I needed you
So I closed my eyes and spoke... and tried to draw you in to my mind closer and closer because I knew the image before me was not you

Just a peanut

Branching out-

Breathing in life-

Inside my womb

Just a form

Slowly forming

Stretching out your arms

Tribute

 Angels a-flutter inside the minds of men

The Mad hatter by design whispering

My name Alice but I was not her

I lay broken by a shattered mirror

In chains my heart a twisted grapevine

Nauseating sweat sustained by time

And my dress was the colour of slain red

Virtue was not

He does not need to close his eyes
To black out the world and the skies
His thoughts and fears reach out
Into a void and a dark sea of ebony

And silence reigns
Though anger may flood his veins
His thoughts and fears reach out
