Idle Before the Motionless Lights
Shadows of clouds darken the already night sky
for now I will focus on the snowy white peaks
that mask on the silhouette of mountains
that face above the approaching highway
The song on the radio serves a timely reminder
as I await before the final intersection
idle before the motionless lights
I watch the windshield wipers
push the water of these raindrops
my favored casualties
my intolerable souvenirs
I’d like to think this red glare
would stay forever
but it will soon turn green
and I will have to move on
To a bed, just to rest my head
heavy with the thought
of how I could just turn back
and do it all again
Lonely One Life
Walking by a cardboard shelter,
you hear a quiet plea’
bothered and in a rush, you ignore him’
and continue walking.
He’s homeless and continues searching the floor for scraps,
he’s helpless and continues searching the sky for hopes.
Sure he might take your coins,
to buy drugs and alcohol,
…..but only if it numbs the pain
…..and if only for a second.
He didn’t choose this life
Im sure you’ve made mistakes too,
But it’s too late to change it now,
he’s too far to go back anyhow.
While you worry about rush hour traffic,
he worries about surviving the night,
and while you cry over a spill on your new suit,
he cries when thinking about his family,
….his father who passed away
….his alcoholic mom who disowned him long ago.
His lonely eyes fill with tears,
as the heroin addiction takes hold once again.
One thing you both have in common,
you both have one life to live,
no where to turn
no way to go back
no one to love
nothing to hope for
…..One life.
A Road So Covered in Snow
The twisting in his stomach
was telling a tale
of a turning heart
While he filled the pages
with the shards of words
of a burning art
She lies under sheets
and stares up at a dancing thought
that’s has taken the night
Beneath this chilly sky
it’s the hope of something beautiful
that has taken the night
Between them sits a road
a road so covered in snow
some say, it could make you blind
A road so covered in snow
some say, if you waited just long enough
it would be a beautiful place to find
October Leaves
If I can see the Sun
then why am I still
so cold?
Watching the leaves dying
just to be
picked up
again
Im as naked as the trees
Im as frozen as the ground
I will keep watching the leaves
as we both fall down
So I will follow October
as she slowly
walks away
Im sure I will get it
right
next time
I promise
The Thief
Some say I could have stopped this crime
but I swear it happened too fast
as I watched her escaping
escaping her past
just in time
just
in time
And some say she’s trespassed these walls before
but I swear she’s just looking for light
as I watched her steal this heart
steal this heart tonight
just once for
just
once more
