Inkwell

The mind fragile and of glass
Isn't steel, metal, or brass
The brain, our personal inkwell
Often lays dormant, under a spell

This cursed trickery revels in glee
It has won out in our conformity
The inkwells dried up and bottles empty
Because we don’t need paper, save the trees

No medium of personality transferable
No way to express individuality preferable
Waste away each and every day
Discussing and pondering what you should say

Forget the technology we appraise so
Separate yourself from this death row
Dust off your inkwell and fill it to the brim
Pull out your pen and brush so form-fittingly slim

Speak words aloud freshly scribed
Sing songs whose lyrics you’ve long past modified
Even if outcast and misunderstood
Genuine emotion can find its way from the woods

Stop hiding in the forest so lost and alone
The trees are the people all carrying the same tone
Clean out the attic so dusty back home
Rediscover your inkwell and let your mind roam

Illusion of the Heart


Romance and passion

Subconscious revelation

Love and lust

Deceit or trust


With a look in the eyes

That was your demise

With a part of the lips

Your sanity slips


An accidental glance

Suddenly entranced

Gazes locked intently

Seems out of reality


Can’t break away

To one’s dismay

But mere seconds gone by

Then not a wish to try


Breath forgotten

Too besoughten

Others around

Nowhere to be found


Fogged up mentality

Lost all trace of rationality

Heart over mind

Senses inclined


Leaning forward

Inclining toward

Through the eyes’ windows

Reveals their true souls

Steal My Tears


note: My friend, Emil, saw this and did an arrangement of it and wrote chords and turned it into a song: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=169034873120457&subj=534179660

Steal my tears away
Game’s too hard for me to play
Laying here tonight
Unable to sleep alright

My mind wanders far
Thoughts adrift to where you are
Heart rarely along
Cannot tell where we went wrong

All the pain and tears
Drowning further in my fears
Spinning out of reach
Walls that we can’t ever breach

Took up all my time
Tore apart my heart and mind
Was it false or true?
Unsure of what I should do

But for you I fought
You have never left my thoughts
Twenty-Four-Seven
Being with you was heaven

You – my other half
Together, we cry and laugh
That way we should stay
So don’t let me slip away
