Nice reaction
Real distraction
Reefer unknown contraption
Filter me inside
Itinerary tricks me
Clarity invisible
Branches collect simple
Horrors
Photograph burnt
Displayed
Been there?
Missing your rest
Chest to chest
Nothing is left
Diversion insists
Then a pioneer
Calm appears
Single precise chance
Erroneous expressions
Versus genteel
Restless response
Fortuitous mutilation
The mecca burned
Hear me
Bestow yourself
Once more
Radiance exposed
I�m luminous
If only you could see
Especially what I hid



It swirls by in a rush,
You don�t notice it till it�s gone.
It sweeps you along, as if
You are a helpless leaf in its current.
But in a way you are.
There are rough spots �
Places where drowning is a possibility,
But every time you come close,
You resurface.
As you float along, you pass many.
And, like you, they are cautious,
For no reason.
How could we assume we
Could control it?
Some fight the current and
Try to go back upstream,
And others just get swept away.
You came close, but at the last second,
You resurface.


I�ve had enough
Remember
When I said it
Wouldn�t matter
I lie
A lot
I never knew
How easy it is
Then I got there
On my own, aren�t you
Proud?
It matters to me no more
I know when it is near the end
Because its me
Remember
Who was there
Its not important anymore
Nothing else matters


Who gave you that poison
I want to know
Its been given to me
But from who I will never know
I rescued you
But who will rescue me?
I may never find out
Its raining in here its pouring
Its crying like death came here
Why why why
I can�t see what happened
I can�t sense the pain
I can�t understand what�s here
I can�t feel
I missed out and its too late
Its all gone and I
Am left
Take me there take me where
They are
The ones who decide
I want it to end
It should be over
But I am left!
I will follow you
Take me there
Take me where it all is
I want to see
I want to feel


This is my beginning
I can feel the earth beneath my feet
The dust of the dead
The soil of life
The past is prominent
The future is only where I look
The present is what I expect
This is the beginning of forever
I need the comfort
The shame�
Its been too long
I cant wait any longer
This dry hope leaves
me barren
This is forever
