    this is a collection of my poems that i've decided to put together as a story.Most are reposts that i've made so ohh well


    story of life


    the story of my life
    born out of death
    blessed by god
    rejected as an equal
    heard without knowledge
    lost in heart ache
    found by aquintences
    remembered out of guilt
    left alone ... forgotten


    we'll see

    sitting there but nowhere in sight

    invisible to the world around
    we'll see, we'll see he says
    coming and going within a blink
    assuring his sons he'll be back
    we'll see, we'll see he says
    I ponder what might be
    hoping in anticipation by the door
    we'll see, we'll see he says
    grown out into the world
    he asks if I'm to busy
    we'll see, we'll see



    just missed it

    so close yet so far
    always one step back
    trailing behind to cover the rear

    i'm out of range now
    far enough to know
    what lies ahead


    can't fix the past
    the future unknown
    Alone, being pulled along by the current of life
    with no help to catch up

    out of reach
    by my finger tips
    I just missed it


    Night Souls


    Here we are again
    drenched by the rain
    drenched in each other
    Our souls bound to each other
    by the moonlight's vast radiance
    we dance like wild naked children
    only living for one not there own
    as dawn breaks so does the lasting
    of there existence until the next lunar
    presents it's self over the hill
    and with it comes the hope
    of a new night that will last forever


    Dream of Death


    Riding in a car talking to a friend
    the road ahead has a bend
    in it that leads to nowhere
    I stop for some gas
    when I comeback I backup
    not able to stop alas
    falling off a cliff
    I turn to her and laugh
    I say I love you
    She loves me
    looking back toward my dying
    there lies two gravestones
    each with death standing by
    I close my eyes and awake a new
    lifting up the cliff I see a river
    in the distance giving me hope for a few
    turning my head forward
    almost into the light
    seeing her losing sight
    I wake up.


    Nothing

    Dark void filling with pain
    over the brain, weeping down my face
    sliding it off onto my battered ego
    hurting with every touch
    every sense it seems to much
    to bare witness against myself
    Lying on the floor stunned in shock
    as my mind wanders feelings not
    numb beyond repair, wallowing in despair
    nothing left in me I let go
    to the world unknown.



    the path

    As I awake from my slumber
    looking around to center myself.
    Opening my door to breath the morning air.
    Strolling down the road out of town
    a sign to the left saying "the path to light."
    How could I resist such a obscure quote?
    Widening my eyes seeing nothing ahead.
    A breeze of mist fills the air that settles on the path
    telling me to carry on with the great journey.


    Decisions, Decisions

    People moving on, i'm left behind.
    Wondering should I go or stay.
    Should I be scared or should I be brave?
    in a world it seems to pick sides,
    all I want to do is just get high.
    whats wrong with me or is it the world?
    hard to know what to do,
    perception is truth or is it a lie?
    being lost is one of the worst feelings,
    until you die.



    The great Journey


    The great journey lies ahead
    farther than anyone could grasp
    Beyond Time, Beyond space
    Beyond, love, Beyond disgrace
    Where does it end
    When does it end
    why does it end
    Who ends it
    What is the end
    will it come as a friend or foe
    is it going to be High or low
    so many questions to be thought
    and each one has it own


    tree of light

    moving through this path of smoke
    over the mounds of fungi
    around the heiron valley
    south of the caicon Mountains
    just shy of Lake ShomaDa
    lies a plain of green
    luscious fields of gold and purple
    with a crisp aroma coming from the center
    there lies a tree, the greatest tree of all
    the tree of light
    as high as the stars
    an inscription sits at the base saying
    welcome my children, enter without care
    and you shall know the greatest
    feeling one can bare.


    Coming home


    And she saids "Look to the west. Your home."
    As I turn a flash of light bends around a boulder
    piercing my eyes, blinding me, passing over me.
    Her arms draped around me in a loving embrace.
    In the distance, smoke flows down the path
    this plain of green, gold and purple fills my eyes.
    Kneeling down looking at a small growing plant
    I say to her "I am home."

    We'll see

    Reminds me of the song "Cats in the cradle"

    Dream Of Death
    is powerful, different and insightful.

    we'll see actually made me a little sad.
    It reminded me of the times I said "we'll see" to my son.
    I hate that society has us so friggen busy that we hardly have time for our families sometimes.

    In fact he asked if we could go out for ice-cream yeasteday, and I said "we'll see". But the bright side is, we did go out for ice-cream last night.

    So at least sometimes it doesn't automatically mean "NO".

    It did with my dad. good guy but sometimes a bit absent minded. you'd be surprised at how 2 little words can mean so much. sometimes it's better to just say yes or no.
