Day 330

The blaring of horns
As gravity prepares
To fall the ball
To signal in the year
To be and turn the old year
To the end.

Day 329: In Memory of

Dear readership,

Recently I had an acquaintance of mine pass away. It's been difficult to grasp in my young age that life is so fleeting. One day we are here the next we are not. Urryan was a good person, a funny person and I only wish for him to rest in peace and that he hopefully can find solace where ever he is. RIP Urryan

Day 328

The flashing screen
Crack for the common man
His idea
Spread as seed
To the idiots;
Fools-
Sit with the drug
As they lose control
Do what they're told
Complacently,
Calmly,
Quickly.

Day 327

Finish line
Has its numbered made
In plain sight
Yet so far
From the butcher's
Meal plan.

Tuesday, December 27, 2011

Day 326

I still have it
5...4....
The key to the mind
3...2...
I don't
1
The countdown ends
Soul seals
The way of life
Forgotten of glory
To the soul full
Mind
1
1
1
In the head
Of the soldier
Who's countdown
Ended.

Monday, December 26, 2011

Day 325

The secret life
A fact well known
The crouched amazement
In a dreamlike world
Tigers and bears
Oh my
The world
Of dreams

Sunday, December 25, 2011

Day 324

Holy day
Of holy days
The star which
Shines brightly
But one night
Gleams the heavens
Kisses the cheeks
Of soft baby skin
Before going to year past
And leaving the sky

Behind.

Saturday, December 24, 2011

Day 323

The brightening
Flashes
(Star scapes
Pure sound.)
The eyes of
The young child
By the window
Not knowing
What tomorrow
Brings.

Today
Is all there is
For the truth
Of lies.

Friday, December 23, 2011

Day 321

Humble forests
Grow from roots
A disguised blessing
Granted by those
In fig leaves
Of the land.

Wednesday, December 21, 2011

Day 320

A tip off
Is all it can do
For the god
Who waits alone
Aloof of the night
In the flames.

Tuesday, December 20, 2011

Day 319

The demonstrations
Running in the street
A peacock in flight
Tails extended
Can't get off the ground
While the tiger
Creeps from the bush.

Monday, December 19, 2011

Day 318

Dear Pluto,

I regret to inform
The new upon you
That this is all true
We have discovered your trickery
We never liked you anyway
Especially not after
You broke and entered our orbits.

Love,

The Sun.

Sunday, December 18, 2011

Day 317

I am the man
Who lives in a box
Searching for cardboard
To make a mansion.

I am the man
Who makes his own fate
In his life
For the guarantee

Of liberty;
Freedom;
Happiness;

Love
That will never be
For the man
Who finds his freedom
In a box.

Saturday, December 17, 2011

Day 316

The pouring sea
Outside of the soul
The old is excused
For the new;
(A musky husk
Sitting in a chair).

The watery sea of souls
In the line of fire
For those we see
Who are not be.

Friday, December 16, 2011

Day 315

Wiring in gold
Wiring in silver
A wish to dream
Caught in the intersection
Man shall be gone
Woman shall be gone
But mayflies are they
In the scheme
Of the wires.

Thursday, December 15, 2011

Day 314

Journeying
In the aquatic
Land of wires
A current time
For neon in peace.

Wednesday, December 14, 2011

Day 313

Exhaustion
The wave of typos
And poor writing
Which rides
Over a tired mind

Tuesday, December 13, 2011

Day 312

One hundred hours
Waiting in ices
For the box
To open
For the night

Monday, December 12, 2011

Day 311

Traveling waters
A wicked trail
Of cursed witches
Who sit on the beach
While the money flows
So you can feel good
About yourself
How are these
Our heroes?

Sunday, December 11, 2011

Day 310


[Let me tell you,
Of the King of the World;
How he broke-
Naked on the Hills of Pennsylvania]

It's the second time
I'm standing in line
The same show;
Different night
Seeing everyone naked in the rain.

It's breaking me to say
That I'm the king of the world
But I can't climb
The Hills of Pennsylvania.

(Three years back
So close to everything
Gone from his fingers
On the Hills of Pennsylvania)

I never realized
These hills are so big
If I lose my will
I will break.

(If you're the
King of the World
You can climb-
You can be)

What am I?
(My lordship)
Who am I?
(My lordship)
Why am I?
(To break)

No don't turn
And leave the green hills
I've left myself
Naked in the rain now.

A fool to all
(Break)
On these hills
(Break)
Breaking
(Burn)

A burning in my head
Water; Pouring body
In flames
(Burn)


[And that was hell
The man who had everything
You could ever want
King of the world
God of man
Stood broken
And naked to the world
On the Hills of Pennsylvania].

Saturday, December 10, 2011

Day 309

I can't see
What the others hear
In the noises
Of the sounds
I know.

Thursday, December 8, 2011

Day 307

Standing in line for the second time
Tonight by the way I see you
Just over the hills of Pennsylvania.

Lately
Lately
I just want to break
From what is
I would've had it all
But that shall never be.

The truth stands in sheep's clothing
I know where the reality lies
But I can't look at my face
Every morning now.

Lately
Lately
I just want to break
From what is
I would've had it all
But that shall never be.

The hills are larger than they look
All I can do is stare as you
Turn and leave me here
Atop this hill
King of the-

King of the world
Am I
But I'm breaking
I can't take it
I'm breaking.

Break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break
Break, break, break, break, break, break
(The king of the world)
Breaking, breaking, breaking, breaking, breaking
(The king of the world atop a hill)
Breaking, breaking, breaking
(Has it all)
Breaking, breaking, breaking
(Lost what he never had)
Breaking, breaking, breaking
(And now he breaks)
Break, break, break, break, break
(Atop the hills of Pennsylvania).

Wednesday, December 7, 2011

Day 306

Husk of the withered
World drying at the tips
Of a fiery pit
We know not
Of hell in Earth
Or heaven in sky
But only of man
In dirt.

Day 304

Run Johnny
From the land
Today the nights fall
And the darkness rises
In the starless night
Of artificial light.

Sunday, December 4, 2011

Day 303

Silence falling
Never fun
For victim
Whose eyes be carved
When the darkness comes.

Saturday, December 3, 2011

Day 302

Crashing reality
With out a kick start
Into the jungle
Of no wisdom
Where waits the tiger
Of all things.

Friday, December 2, 2011

Day 301

Happy thoughts
Swimming in the sea
Of unknowing depression.

The sound of fire
Waiting on shore
As the remembrance are held
For happy thoughts.

Thursday, December 1, 2011

Day 300

The march of
The soldiers
In a line
From one to ten
Down the rows
Ornate of red
To the war
They sit once more
Stones of grey.

Day 299

The capture
To the hill
Huge success
Operation
For those involved.

From work
To work
In the circle
Of cyclic life.

The words of few
Jumping in circles
To find a truth.

Sunday, November 27, 2011

Day 296

I think I'll stay
For a good time
In this land
It's almost an art

For myself
Sitting on the wings
Watching the show
Unfold.

Towards a time
I see the truth
Of the fire you hold
Before the cave

The darkness encroaching
The flame dies
As the dark beings
March to victory.

Saturday, November 26, 2011

Day 295

The beating wings
Of intense heat
In the land of battle
You see not
What can be seen.

Whirring tags
Flying above
Head of a boy
Who knows
Not what it means.

Thursday, November 24, 2011

Thanks
To the giving
Of the giver
To the know er
Which waits to know
The truth in reality.

A flower grows
Outside the yard
In Brooklyn flourishing
Like a pot to flame
A poor mouse burning.

Tuesday, November 22, 2011

Day 291

Flying
Like a redwood
Of leaves in the grass
A snake of sorts
Slithering
For the kill.

Monday, November 21, 2011

Day 290

Speed of light
Navigating the dots
Across the wild darkness
Over yonder
Secrets of the mind
Lost in the war
At the
Speed of Light.

Spoke the poet

Five more times (with feeling)
Spoke the poet.

Growing pain
Spreading
The sooner
Before the later
Growing
Growing
Growing
Growing

Wednesday, November 16, 2011

Day 286

The ocean
Roaring waves
Of aquatic love
Lapping the feet
Of the people
For their good.

Do they know?
Can they know?
Why this is?

Tuesday, November 15, 2011

Day 285

Just keep pushing
Just keep traveling
Until you find the button
To push.

Monday, November 14, 2011

Day 284

Rushing wind
Like water in the air
Less gentle than a breeze
Or an aqueduct
Of everything we see.

Sunday, November 13, 2011

Constants walking
Off the side
Of the world
Into a sea
Of nothing
Devouring life
In a fire
You can't
See.

Day 282

Sight dying
Everything out of mind
For my only
Lonely day
Out of mind

Friday, November 11, 2011

Day 281

Losing the soul
Of all that is
To all that never was
What a greater pain
Then one that cannot be imagined?

Thursday, November 10, 2011

Day 280

On a peak
What a long drop
The ease of falling
Where pain
Penetrates not
Into the abyss
Of the human soul.

Wednesday, November 9, 2011

Day 279

Understanding slipping from
The insane darkness
Of the trolling lines
Which the man
Sit and see

For their folly
They never see a dime
For the err of man
Is there never a penny

Yet still they show
By dozens
Ants at a meal
To catch a single picture
Of what all is
A day in the life
Of a single being.

Tuesday, November 8, 2011

Day 278

They say a drink
Remedies all
Except for the
Chronicles of war.

Father, one of my man wrote this to me the other day and I am curious of what you think about this bit of poetry.

Your revolutionary son,

Benedict Wellington

Monday, November 7, 2011

Day 277

Stressful thoughts
Rising in succession
From wave to wave
Like a submarine
On the surface of land
Flying through the land
A yellow surface
Ice cracking beneath
The weight of you and me.

Sunday, November 6, 2011

Day 276

You know they say you never know what it's like to shoot a gun before you stand in front of a man, your adrenaline pumping, while he aims to kill. The weight of the gun and the pack on your back is enough to hinder your thought. By this I mean it becomes absolutely clear that if you don't shoot first you will be going home in a body bag. That weight is just enough to at the very least have kept my mind from wondering and allowing me to live. Others weren't so lucky like those who faced me. Every day now I see there faces wrapped in a blood curdling scream and I know that when I die they shall be there to meet me once more.

Even before entering this hell house I was one damned good marksman. You know those carnival gun games that are rigged with terrible sights? Let's just say that the guy there didn't know what to make of me. He was clearly impressed but seemed relieved to be free of me once he gave me my teddy bear. I then made the teddy bear do a victory dance. Make of that what you will but keep in my mind that the biggest bad ass in this room is staring you down. That bear is no longer among us like many of my comrades. That was my story, what my whole life was. A bear and some killing.

Sometimes I wonder, was it worth it? Then I look at all of you, how you are still alive, how you can still laugh, smile and play and I realize that it was all more than worth it. Perhaps I do only say this because I was lucky enough to get out alive but I genuinely think that. This is why I am here in front of you today.

I wish to start a new life and I hope that you, ladies and gentleman of the Commission for the Lives of the People, will allow me start anew starting with a change from professions. I genuinely hope that you will allow my request through.

Your Loyal Soldier,

Benedict Wellington

Saturday, November 5, 2011

Day 275

Red
Seeing on the plain
Sprouting like flowers
All that is left
Red.

Friday, November 4, 2011

Day 274

A slipping of thought
In the mind
I cannot realize
Where my soul
Has gone slipping,
They've all gone slipping
Away.

Thursday, November 3, 2011

Day 273

Shorten your arms
They're weakening
Like the slipping of days
Away.

Wednesday, November 2, 2011

Day 272

Where's the future
Your mother once held
So dear in the flames
Of adoration
At the cliffs of nothing
For the benefit
Of he who walks
By night?

Tuesday, November 1, 2011

Day 271

You call this
A home
When I can make
Those ugly tributes
To the Muse
As well?

What home
Is a home
If there are no tributes
Of beauty and joy
To the Muse?

Monday, October 31, 2011

Day 270

A clown
Is not what everyone loves
A creep behind a mask
Of make up and stunts
Wearing a fake smile
For you
Is not
(What everyone loves:
A clown)

Sunday, October 30, 2011

Day 269

Watching
A blank face
In the night
Of the nothing moon
Just watching
Nothing worse then what you do
On the night of the nothing moon.

Saturday, October 29, 2011

Day 268

How can I
I only want to
I mean no harm
How may I
Maybe, possibly
How can I
Help.

Day 267

The sun is leaving
To be no more
On the other side
Of the horizon.

Thursday, October 27, 2011

Day 266

Raining passions
Pouring in the sea
Of no subtle
Peace or war
In the cloudy night
Above.

Wednesday, October 26, 2011

Day 265

There is no need
Anymore for the answer
To the question you didn't know
The search is over
Stop missing it
You sentimental fool.

Tuesday, October 25, 2011

Day 264

Resting waters
Sitting on the surface
Of unbreakable difficulties
Clouding the judgement
Aquatic fields
Like a just
King on a thrown.

Monday, October 24, 2011

Day 263

(Scene begins. A disheveled revolutionary named John and his Fellow hides in a bush and John turns to his Fellow).

John: We can't take much more.
Fellow: No, no we can't but look John we have to. We must to preserve the sacredness of all that is good in life, all that is good in capitalism and all that is good about flowers.
John: They will never be only green and red but now they can be yellow and purple and maybe even pinkle!
Fellow: I don't really know if pinkle is a color but now you have that spirit again! Now do we need to go over the plan?
John: You get the back?
Fellow: Yes.
(John and Fellow split up in opposite directions. As John rounds a corner 2 monstrous creatures attempt to ambush him. He disposes of them and enters the building, gun drawn. There is a great commotion by creatures which look similar to the monstrous creatures.)
John: Calm down, I am only here for The Guide. If The Guide is handed over immediately then no one will be harmed. I repeat I am only here for The Guide.
Creature Leader: How did you get through our guards?
John: Don't think you're immune to bullets. (everyone panics). I see what you are doing, you are pretending to be human so that I will go away. Well guess what, it isn't going to happen! Now all you stinking monsters will give me The Guide and no one will be hurt.
CL: We have many guides, which do you want?
John: The Guide! Don't give me that blank face! I want The Guide now or else there will be repercussions!
(At this point Fellow walks out with his gun to a high ranking Creature).
John: What did you do? This wasn't the mission!
Fellow: Do you have any choice but to go along with it?
High Rank: Look I have a family, let me go and I'll give you anything you want.
Fellow: Bullshit. (High Rank struggles).
John: Let him go!
CL: Who are you talking to?
(It's apparent that no one else knows that Fellow and High Rank are in the room).
John: Please, just let him go.
Fellow: Nah (Fellow kills High Rank).
John: I can't let you get away with this. (He empty a clip at Fellow but with the appearance of no holes anywhere).
Fellow: Pointing a stick at me won't do anything. I'm you. I'm you. I AM YOU! (Fellow attacks John as we get our first look at reality. John is in fact a disheveled man with a stick who appears to be attacked by nothing as he runs out of the building. Reality and John's mind begin to meld for the viewer as reality morphs into John's mind before John suddenly falls. In reality we see him picked up by the police. Cut to the interrogation room. There is an officer and the atmosphere is more like that of an interview).
Officer: So John, can you tell me what happened?
John: Fellow told me our mission was-
Officer: Fellow?
John: The name of one of the revolutionaries.
Officer: So you were part of a revolution. What for?
John: He's here. In the corner.
Officer: Who, Fellow?
John: Yes, in that corner right there. (He is there for John but not the Officer who only sees an empty chair).
Officer: We'll make him go away if you tell us everything.
(Fellow gets up and walks to John).
Fellow: You can't trust him.
John: Get away!
Officer: Is he here?
John: Get away!
Officer: I'm sorry but my job is to be here!
John: Get away!
Officer: Doctor! (A doctor comes in and takes him away. Years later he walks out of the hospitable and walks into a park where he meets his grandchild).
Child: Grandpa, you're back!
John: Yes I am! Let's go on the swings!
Child: OK!
(They both go on the swing laughing. Cut back to reality and John is laughing at an empty swing while on a nearby area such as a hill stands Fellow, laughing. End scene.)

Sunday, October 23, 2011

Day 262

Standing flowers
Wilting in the silence
Watching a daylight
Light the night
Of fire purpose
Like a water pond
Reflections in the night
Knowledge of the day
What a life.

Saturday, October 22, 2011

Day 261

Running of steps
Against cement
Like a cricket
Who sees a reflection
In the sand.

Friday, October 21, 2011

Day 260

The shining spectacle
Moving through the air
Like a sweeping motion
Taking the souls
Of what would be
In the fire of life
Lying to the truth
Of all things
What has the world become?

Thursday, October 20, 2011

Day 259

Traveler's war band
Tracking the dessert
Harsh sand scraping
Into the boots
Rubbing against the skin
Abrasively
Passively
As if it did this all the time
Painfully
Angrily
As if it was tired of doing this
And so they marched.

Wednesday, October 19, 2011

Day 258

The end of the closing
Zipper in the line
We'll meet you at the doors
Of the universe.

Tuesday, October 18, 2011

Day 257

I see no end
To the mayhem
Of yesterday
The death throes
Societal screw up
In the fires of
Life and death.

Monday, October 17, 2011

Day 256

Sleeping with a gun
Beneath your pillow
While you hold on
To your slipping thought
Of what reality is;
Should be.

Sunday, October 16, 2011

Day 255

Fancy jargon
Floating in the river
Keeping the eyes
Afloat
Through the darkness
Of cold shadows
Constricting
Closing
On the soul

Saturday, October 15, 2011

Day 254

Setting moon
Causing the fires
To stop in respect

A beauty leaving
The night sky
Giving heed to day

Friday, October 14, 2011

Day 253

It was a Wednesday like any other at the studio as crowds of people crowded the studio audience to watch there idol provide a performance like non other. No one knew the guest on today's show except that it would be some one famous and that it was neither the president nor Oprah.

Then the curtains flew back to a great applause as a tall man with beautiful curly brown hair stepped from behind the curtain. His walk was almost that of a party drunk but had to much confidence to be that of a party drunk. His eyes were warm and full of greetings to the crowd they scoured but in reality they hid a dark truth to himself that he could never let out. His name was Bach Sius and he was the host of the popular game show The Games just a few years ago before it was cancelled due to budget restrictions. It should be noted that Bach Sius has not been seen since then.

"Hello, and welcome to The Games! Today we have a very special show that will focus on the mythology of the ancient Greeks but first I would like to ask yourselves to restrain yourselves- yes something I know is hard to do around me- as our special guest is one of great stature. Now introducing the Prime Minister of Italy, Joviani!"

Much to both Joviani and Bach's dismay the crowd broke out into cries of booing. One guest had the audacity to ask "How's Mary?" to which Joviani famously replied "she's fine" wishing to give a simple answer that would not vindicate him in the ongoing moral scandal. When the scandal was resolved he made it clear that his actions during the show were influenced by how the audience reacted to him.

"Are you ready?" asked Bach
"Yes" said Joviani
"Remember, we're not gods and we got this in the bag" whispered Bach (better known as Bacchus) into Joviani's (better known as Zeus) ear.
"Got you" said Zeus right back.
"Then let the games begin!" Said Bacchus getting right back to his show. "First question: Who is Zeus?"
"I am- I mean the lord of the sky and supreme ruler of all gods" said Zeus correcting himself
"Look who thinks he's confident" said Bacchus teasing. "Who is Hestia?"
"A dirty, terrible, ugly whore who-" He was cut off by Bacchus' look of fear, "I mean the goddess of the home."
"Absolutely correct. How many girls in here would appeal to Zeus?"
Much to the audience's horror he gave them a good long stare. As soon as his stare ended he began to count on his fingers and when he finished counting on his fingers he looked at Bacchus and said "507" despite not having 507 fingers. To destroy the tension he also added "and Matt" secretly hoping that nobody would guess that the supreme god's favorite past time was watching The Doctor save the universe for himself.
"That sounds about right" said Bacchus, unsure of the actual answer itself. "Call me Matt" said Bacchus hoping for another laugh which worked. The show went on in this way until the million dollar question.
"Who is Haphaestus" asked Bacchus
"I think I need to use lifelines" said Zeus. Instead of simply asking the audience himself he summoned his son Hermes to ask the audience for them. Hermes told him the audience was sure that Haphaestus was the son of Zeus how ever Zeus did not wish to admit to having an ugly child on public television despite having pretty much admitted that he liked Russel T. Davies Nu Who stories compared to Stephen Moffat's, something tantamount to heresy in the fan base. To this extent he had Hermes call the other gods, Hera, Poseidon, Hades, Eros and even Athena all said that Haphaestus was Zeus' son.
"If you don't answer soon, we'll have to stop the questioning" said Bacchus a look of fear in his eyes.
"Very well, you call the forge guy" said Zeus to Hermes. Luckily "the forge guy" happened to be Haphaestus who in his anger at his father shouted through the phone that he was Haphaestus and that he was the God of the forge before Aphrodite interrupted him and Hermes hung up the phone. Zeus having acute ears caught the entire conversation and answered the correct answer and had no need to confess that he has and ugly son. When everything calmed down and all were gone Hermes looked to Bacchus and said:
"Maybe it was a good idea that we never told him about Midas."
"Yeah this was far more amusing then watching him turn Hera, Haphaestus, Aphrodite and Ares into gold. Want to get a drink?" said Bacchus
"Sure" and the two walked away, while Zeus now had the money to hire a lawyer to get out of trouble and never once realized that he was on a game show on unnecessary until about a year later when similar events happened with a younger girl and he snapped his fingers as a get out of jail free card. Never the less Zeus learned his lesson, game shows are always out to get you. Whether or not this is the lesson Bacchus and Hermes looked to teach will never be known because they refuse to reveal it.

Thursday, October 13, 2011

Day 252

The watery grave
Of Poseidon
Sinking from the sea
Into Hades journey
Like all else
The mortal gods
Wonder there fate
In little need of no help.

Wednesday, October 12, 2011

Day 251

Walking fields
In the waking mists
Of watery oceans
The giants roam.

Tuesday, October 11, 2011

Day 250

Carrying the carriage
Of the human
In the bag of fir
If the leaves grow
We know something's wrong

In the blaze
Of heaven
The err of man
Shall sit in crown

The clouds fading
(Separating)
Through the dark night
The folly of man
Growing
In the flames of life
For all to see

Do you have no shame?
Man's err forever known
Do you have no shame?


(What shame may I have
When all is known
To all but me?

What does it matter
When all is known
To all but me
And I know not
Of what is known?)


If the blaze starts
On the grown leaves
Of the Fir bag
What is the difference
What trouble we are in?

The vanity of man
Stops the err of man
The plain sight of it
From being known.

Err of man
Darkness from nothing
And all
Is the err of man.

When the err is not seen
What difference does the err make?

Day 249

Sail on Chris
Till the golden shores
Of wafty meadows
Wait on the sea
For he who is brave
To claim.

Sunday, October 9, 2011

Day 248

Pow in the night
The bats of lore
Flying on the water
For your soul.

Saturday, October 8, 2011

Day 247

Controlling winds
In the western sea
Of flaming eyes

Sitting the troll king
His laugh like windy demise
To the bells who ring

Death's fortune
In your ears
Of young.

Friday, October 7, 2011

Day 246

Days of sunny
Fire in the rain
Not unlike a tree
Coming off the roof.

Thursday, October 6, 2011

Day 245

The following guilt
A blind man by the hand
Led to his thought
Of what is to be done
In the age of old
What has been lost
A marvel of man
The follower of a thought
A precedent in all
Power to be gained

A blind man by the hand
Led to his thought
In his old age
What never was
Slipping by
Forever.

Wednesday, October 5, 2011

Day 244

Tick tock
Tick tock
Ticka tocka
Till the clock goes bang
Clattering on the floor.

Tuesday, October 4, 2011

Day 243

The sun is gone
The sun clouds are here
To herald the arrival

Of the king
The king is coming
On trumpets blare
For the sun clouds are here
To herald its return.

Monday, October 3, 2011

Day 242

Encroaching fear
A jump away
Nothing in the darkness
Everything is there.

Sunday, October 2, 2011

Day 241

I want to be
A me
And I'm not fond
Of you encroaching
On me

Saturday, October 1, 2011

Day 240

Days are slipping
Through the fingers
Of cracked time
Breaking away from gravity
Like a field of dreams
And a sea of fire.

Friday, September 30, 2011

Day 239

Ready pressure
To be in flames
A new fire
Across a sea of
Hope
And possibilities
A sea of
Nothing
But chaos and despair.

A sea nonetheless

Day 238

Flying dutches
Skip cross the wing
Of the sea
On fire

Wednesday, September 28, 2011

Day 237

I'm nothing to this
For the glory of nothing
I'm nothing to this now.

Tuesday, September 27, 2011

Day 236

Noise noise and noise
This is terrifying knowledge
All of noise.

Monday, September 26, 2011

Day 235

No water in the sky
Pouring in the flood
No ark on ground
To save your soul.

Sunday, September 25, 2011

Day 234

2 waiting near fire
3 waiting near sky
4 waiting near earth

So why do you
Wait near the sea
As the waves crash
Do you see the truth
In the collapsing water and sand?

1 waiting by the sea
Seeing only the truth
Of the storm.

Saturday, September 24, 2011

Day 233

I hear the pebble creeping
Into the water
Rolling into the pond
Nothing to see
As hearing mixed
To sight
A flow of weather
In the sound of fire
Drums ring in taste
Nothing makes sense
As the pebble creeps into the pond.

Friday, September 23, 2011

Day 232

There is no sun
There is no sun
Hiding in clouds
Where'd you go?

Thursday, September 22, 2011

Day 231

I have seen the fear
Of the lonely anger
The night's running
In a circle
Can't you see
The spelling
Of the shadows.

AR TI FO LI ME RO NE DE PU ME

Wednesday, September 21, 2011

Day 230

A shining house
Flying on the ground
Like a shiny horizon
Exotic in the sea
Skimming ground.

Tuesday, September 20, 2011

Day 229

Seeing not to know
In the depths of sea
Rising waves
To forever know
The great nothing.

Monday, September 19, 2011

Day 228

Would you cross the mountains
To find the answer to the question
Asked so long ago.

Why do you watch when you see?
We know the answer is:

I wish to see before it is to late
Fore when I cannot see I do not wish to regret not seeing
I wish to hear before it is to late
Fore when I cannot hear I do not wish to regret not hearing
I wish to feel before it is to late
Fore when I cannot feel I do not wish to regret not feeling
I wish to smell before it is to late
Fore when I cannot smell I do not wish to regret not smelling
I wish to taste before it is to late
Fore when I cannot taste I do not wish to regret not tasting.

And I wish to know before it is to late
Fore when I cannot know
I will not know to regret not knowing.

Sunday, September 18, 2011

Day 227

So pretty
In pinkle
Flying in dark
Of floating night
In the fiery eye
Of nothing tonight
Is the truth.

Saturday, September 17, 2011

Day 226

Floating horizons
Through the sea
Of nothingness
Flying in the shadows
Lack of coherence
In the fire
And the burning pot.

Friday, September 16, 2011

Day 225

Day flying
Catching flies
Eyes up high
A gaze of power
And night of doom
Descending in fire and mist
A forest of fir
In the noon
Of nothing.

Thursday, September 15, 2011

Day 224

Night crawler
Crossing the horizon
Cloudy storm
The horizon shrinking
Over by the sun
Don't look
There crawls the night crawler.

Wednesday, September 14, 2011

Day 223

The world is shrinking
The sea is shrinking
The moon is flying
'Cross the sky
At a low time
Of money
And thought
The moon
Is corporate america.

Tuesday, September 13, 2011

Day 222

Red moon
Flaming orb of sky
Haunting the night
With your masterful aura
The red moon
Is on the rise.

Monday, September 12, 2011

Day 221

There is a river
Flowing up wards
Against the beat
Angel wing's pulse
Flying in the air
The river runs
The angel beats it's wings
Running river run away
Keep your distance
When the angel beats its wings.

Sunday, September 11, 2011

Day 220

Ten
To the days
Of dust flowing on ground
A river leaving
Level ground
All in the past
Remaining
Through the future
Permeating through thoughts
Terror and terror and terror
And finally
The silence.

Saturday, September 10, 2011

Day 219

Crush the sun
Send it into a wing
Up in the air
Thinly veiled
Hidden pilots
Jacks in the box
Popping when needed
Out into the world
Around a cooking pot.

Friday, September 9, 2011

Day 218

Is the moon full
Or does it fade away
In an illusion
To make us think
It is all there?

Thursday, September 8, 2011

Day 217

The circle of the night
Forming the ring of day
Holes poked in it
As it is slowly eaten away
The ravenous hunger
Of the wolf sky
Until it is full
Does it stop and
Let
Go.

Wednesday, September 7, 2011

Day 216

The broken soldiers
All in a line
No dimensions but there own

The broken soldiers
An unseen to the seen
Forming rank

The broken soldiers
Falling like dominoes
And being beyond repair

The broken soldiers
What have you done to them
To break them so bad.

Tuesday, September 6, 2011

Day 215

Crawling in the skin
Of the life of man
The creeping loss
Of what you never had
Approaching anxiety
Thinking of what isn't lost
To you but perhaps to others
A transient nightmare
Darkness waking
All over you.

Monday, September 5, 2011

Day 214

The soul of yesterday
Creeping in the shadows
A jungle of truths
Built beneath the city of lies
As concrete creeps inward
The truth is known
On the shortness of all things
A fly on camera
To live and die
So soon after
In the after of today
And in the yesterday and tomorrow
The shortness of all things which is
The lack of spawn in reality
The lie that is life
To never be known.

Sunday, September 4, 2011

213

Welling at the side
Of what is exists
What was and what shall be
All at the end of what is
A great sea to the future
A great sea to the past
A welling channel in the present
Swelling with strength
Swallowing more rocks
Stealing tomorrow
Like Robin Hood
And giving it
To what shall be
Keeping it from what shall never be.

Saturday, September 3, 2011

Day 212

Story of a season
Closing a page
A sun setting
Fiery burst of happy
In sadness
Of water
Cooling energy
Making ground
Ending the story
The story of a season.

Friday, September 2, 2011

Day 211

Darkened skies
Showing among the lights
Of humanity on the ground
Pointing to the nothing.

Thursday, September 1, 2011

Day 210

If nothing is real
Then how is it here
To be created in a pot
And spilled over a flame
To create
Nothing.

Wednesday, August 31, 2011

Day 209

Sounds of the after
Singing the praise of yesterday
Visiting in the dark
No night in the light
Breaking free from the cage
That holds them
In the sound
The sweet glorious sound
That touches your ears
Of a million angels
Humming there song
Through that which was
And never will be
Into what is and shall be
From yesterday to tomorrow
Is the sound heard
Splitting darkness and shadows
To make room for light
And destroy all evil
From forth the outpost of man
Never does it rise
Into the world.

A shadowy creation
Living in the song
Preying of off its fear
To create itself
Anew at the end of the song
Before another can start
That he may begin his own set
Like fire to fire
Shall he circle the notes which he plays
Dissonant on his recorder
And pure evil in the head
Sprouting the lies of tomorrow
In the world of today
So he may march
Upon the world of yesterday
And claim it as his own
As the song of today ends
Once more.

Tuesday, August 30, 2011

Day 208

A thick mist
Descending on the land
Blown by an imaginary wind
Screaming what is to be
To what is not to be
As the smelly mist
Smelling like a dozen rodents
Descends on the kingdom
And what is meets what is not
Will it live again.

Monday, August 29, 2011

Day 207

The stars are glowing
Through the endless nothing
A steady beat
Twinkling in the night
Seen on delay
A fleeting glimpse
Of what was once
And may no longer be.

Sunday, August 28, 2011

Day 206

There never was a pause button
But to think if there was
They could do so much better
In the clouds of ice
And watery flames.

I'm quite glad actually
Its almost sad
To be so far away
And to almost feel
Like the wolf with glowing eyes
Pulsing red with evil
Right through my veins
How it feels now
Brain running cold
Through watery flames.

Saturday, August 27, 2011

Day 205

They say there's a bad storm comin
Gonna blow on down lil red's roof
The big bad wolf is forming
In the clouds.

They say there's a bad storm comin
A big bad wolf is in the clouds
Sneering down on the metropolis
An old beast ready to march again
Towards to its death
To its end
With one last thing to do
Before it crumbles
A slow end
A painful end
Not knowing it is coming
But forcing others out
Of its path.

A big bad wolf is in the clouds
Looking for sheep
It will never find
Before the end
Sneering and howling
The wind and water
At its feet.

A big bad wolf is in the clouds
A big bad wolf shall leave us.

Friday, August 26, 2011

Day 204

Warm guns
Smelting through the sea
The mountain is the sea
The trees
Large waves
Rocking on the side
A rising sun
Peaking through leaves
And a setting sun
Scattered in leaves.

Day 202 and 203

One update due to absence from computer
202:
Happiness
A sword's fire
Dancing in the woods
A blazing light
In the night
Not moving through the fir.

A sword's fire
Not to be
Extinguished
To be.

203:
Hitting through
In confusing lines
A wizard in disguise

Loose on
Pure speed
God speed
Of the wizard.

Tuesday, August 23, 2011

Day 201

Notice: will not be near a computer for 2-3 days. Next update on either Friday or Saturday.

Sometimes a profound idea
Shaking the head
And awakening the beast
Reality will die
When the dark priest
Shall come from the temple
And time will crack at the seams
When the dark priest
Shall come from the temple.

Monday, August 22, 2011

Day 200

An ear mark
For the corner stone
Never seen
But once
With so little time left
But so much to go
In the sun
Middle of the sky
Slowly descending
Into the horizon
Sunken clouds.

Sunday, August 21, 2011

Day 199

Rain is rising
As silence sets
A sun on the horizon
The closing of an era
To be continued
Anew in soon
The moon is pretty
But the daylight
Will be back for me
Anew in soon.

Saturday, August 20, 2011

Day 198

Accidental coincidences
Raising questions
Asked not before.

Friday, August 19, 2011

Day 197

Anticipation
The rush is waiting on me
Going through me
A sugar rush
In the eyes of a child
Only tonight will tell us
What will happen
In wonderland.

Thursday, August 18, 2011

Day 196

Reaching for a star
You will fall
Maybe you end
A little higher
But you will fall
To the sea
A shooting star
To grant another's wish
To reach
For the stars.

Wednesday, August 17, 2011

Day 195

Sweaty beads
Unfelt as they fall
Slowly down
Forehead glistening like a sea
In the morning
With spotlights raging.

Tuesday, August 16, 2011

Day 194

The stars are blinking
Into existence
Blinding the eyes
Sun going black
Insane people
Crawling from darkness
Shown the light.

Monday, August 15, 2011

Day 193

Lightning's breaker
Across the beaker of light
Fire which engrossed
The city of the stars
Crumbling at the feet
A hero with no song
No poem or story
Marching on those who fear
They fear him
The bringer of death
As blood drip from his hands
Lightning breaking
Through the clouds
And death crossing the night.

Sunday, August 14, 2011

Day 192

Seen many people flooded
Through a sea of life
Not knowing where they're going
And getting washed away.

Memories of death and those dropped down
Into the sea of life
Being washed away and through.

Keep your eyes
Keep your eyes
Get on back
Home before the flood.

Watching ice
Fall on down from the sky
Hitting memories
Getting washed away.

Saturday, August 13, 2011

Day 191

Majestically flowing
Through the winds of choice
Making the impossible
To be as a good man
Conquering the devil
Whose dice has been weighted
By the evils of man
And a solitude not even he
Can understand.

A good man
His cape majestically flowing
As a war rages around
Ravaging his mind
Opening his eyes
The destruction brought
The child was lost
At the cost of a victory.

Friday, August 12, 2011

Day 190

Lonely wanderer in the sand
Divine in appearance
With out a name
The master of time
A lonely god
In the sand.

Thursday, August 11, 2011

Day 189

Living intensity
Pulsing
Down your neck
A cool breath of winter
In the warm summer sun
Laying waste to your soul
Until you; a barren wasteland
Remain
A pulsing in the sand
Living intensity
Breathing down your neck.

Wednesday, August 10, 2011

Day 188

(The doors begin to have a banging on them).

Soldier 3: Ummm, Gingers first
(pushes soldier 5)
Soldier 5: No wait, I never told her- Aaaah (He is over taken by the radishes who surround him, he is gone when the radishes clear the spot).
Soldier 2: Man down, man down!
General: Stay calm soldier! (To the rest of his man) Battle stations, we must hold them here so they cannot enter the village!
Soldier 4 (to soldier 1): This wasn't in my job description! (They shoot furiously at the radishes as a few soldiers and the general are able to eat some).
Radish soldier: Bring in the box.
General: Wait what box?
Radish soldier: The box.
Soldier 4: Sir, is the charge in place?
General: Don't say it out loud.
Radish soldier: What charge?
General: What box?
Deep voice: This box, rejoice my children: Daddy is coming home!
(A box appears in the middle of the floor)
Soldier 3: When did that box get there?
(Out of the box appears a black hole out of which Soldier 5 steps).
Soldier 5: Father is coming.
(The radish release a screech)
General: What's going on?
Deep voice: They're laughing, my soldiers. I'm Home! It's time to burn!
(He steps out of the black hole).
Man: I am Gary the garrulous, traveler of dimensions and ruin er of worlds and I like to talk! Almost like a gossipy girl, oh wait what are those shiny things (trails off).
General: Ok Gary, I'm giving you one last chance, leave or have more bullet holes in you then swiss cheese (soldiers cheer).
Soldier 5: Father won't leave, we need him here.
Radish soldier: We can't live with out father.
Gary: That's right, my children adore me. If I leave they won't exist just like I made your ginger here. Who's next, you, you or you? Come on, come to daddy!
General: So we're all going to die?
Soldiers: Don't speak that way (ad lib)
Radish soldier: Yes you will all burn! Burn and burn some more!
Gary: He seems like a nice fellow though, please continue because if you don't die you will be my child. I think you'd make a good one.
General: Then tell me this, if you're traveling dimensions what happens when we destroy the box?
Gary: You need a nuclear war head to do that so I see no harm in telling you. If I don't go back in I'll be stranded, unable to eat and eventually die.
General: And your children as you call them?
(The children have a great uproar)
Gary: All but the ginger will die, you see the ginger hasn't been near me long enough to fade if I do, but if the portal is destroyed the radish army will have never existed. Well now I see no more reason to forego your demise...
Soldier 1: You forgot last words
Soldier 2: Everyone gets last words
Soldier 3: Except maybe you
Soldier 4: There's one thing you didn't count on
Soldier 5: What?
General: Never, ever let me talk. (He pulls out a detonator which detonates a bomb in the floor while all the power goes into the portal).
Gary: Are you insane, you can get us all killed!
General: Security protocol 130945678, in case of invasion all generals on the planet Earth are to do what ever it takes to defeat the invasion which includes but is not limited to small nuclear devices. In thins case the portal will take in the energy but look at your children, look! (he looks they are in pain).
Radish soldier: Help me, the pain...
Soldier 3: Shut up (he shoots it).
General: You brought this on them. If you stay we will try to help you!
Gary: Bull shit (he jumps into the portal as the soldiers open fire into the portal, the explosion calms and the portal disappears).
General (approaching soldier): Are you okay?
Soldier 5: What happened? Did we win?
General: Yes we won. Let's go tell the towns people! (They all run into town and then into a shop screaming "we beat the radish people!". The town people look confused)
Soldier 2: Sir they don't exist anymore, that's why they don't know.
General: Don't worry, go about your business (they leave but Soldier 5 looks pained).
Soldier 4: Are you okay?
Soldier 5: It's not ginger anymore. (He runs up behind General with a knife and stabs him) Daddy's back! (The shock causes convulsions in both as Soldier 5 takes over again).
Soldier 5: What, what happened?
General: Nothing, you did good.
Soldier 5:Are you, are you ok?
General: Yes (Solder 3 approaches behind him). She knows son. (soldier 3 shoots him dead).
Soldier 3: I hope you understand.
General: He would. (The general dies).
Soldier 1: There's only one last thing to do.
Soldier 2: Give them a decent burial?
Soldier 4: Steal their possessions?
Soldier 3: Get away before the cops get here?
Solder 5: No, yes, definitely and burn the bodies. I hat zombie movies.
(all agree)
(The scene ends)

Tuesday, August 9, 2011

Day 187

My stone statute buddy
Is such a good buddy
He lets me get some hearts
While he smashes the competition

If your evil and made of stone
You hear some stompin
Don't look cause
Its my stone statute buddy and me.

You've been so much more useful then my shadow
While I have to enslave you
At least you can help me
Reach my goal by smashing things.

If your evil and made pof stone
You hear some stompin
Don't look cause
It's my stone statute buddy
My stone statute buddy
My stone statute buddy
And me.

Monday, August 8, 2011

Day 186

I lost something
Never did have it
Don't think
You wanna hear
This tale.

I lost something
Never did have it
Always just round the corner
A feeling
Now its gone.

I lost something
Never did have it
Lost hours which bore you
Before I lose this tale.

I lost something
Never did have it.

Sunday, August 7, 2011

Day 185

Ending the peace
Tonight the flight
Taking the night
All those in the way
Tonight the flight
A path with out end
You may find an adventure
But you will be lost.

Saturday, August 6, 2011

Day 184

Walls crawling
In the shadows
Of the posters
Of the walls
Shaking challenges
Through heaven
It shall never leave
'Till heaven cries.

Friday, August 5, 2011

Day 183

And I see
A strain on the soul
Stretching
Beyond the wall
A spider broken
In the fall
To never be recovered
Broken mental peace
To be known
For healing must begin
After something has broken.

Thursday, August 4, 2011

Day 182

Forests of illusions
Sneaking from the cheese
Bread of life
To be not
Mine anymore.

Wednesday, August 3, 2011

Day 181

Exhaustion
Nearly over
Almost time
To fly like the Eagle
To the sea of moors
And prepare
For the next
Mission.

Tuesday, August 2, 2011

Day 180

Its been fun
To watch you burn
But know I guess
That this has to end.

False meditative states
Unconscious desires
Pull me to want
To see more.

It cannot be
But its been fun
I'll miss it so
But eh, I still have
Terraria.

Monday, August 1, 2011

Day 179

August afternoon
As the rocks of water
Fall from the sky
Smashing into the concrete
Amidst the pouring rain.

August sun
Hiding in a corner
From the golf balls of water
Pouring from the sky
Saw it stretchin from
Albertson to Wantagh.

August afternoon
As weird as it gets
Gone as soon
As it has come.

Sunday, July 31, 2011

Day 178

Do you exist
Am I floating in a tunnel?
Do I see
I cannot see in my mind
The rolling black outs
If I don't know you
Do you exist?

Saturday, July 30, 2011

Day 177

No splash
As you dive into the air
Soundless wings
The harbinger of doom
For the little mice
Who does not yet know
As grace personified
Wings stretched out
You lose
In the night.

Friday, July 29, 2011

Day 176

Washing fear
As the shore leaves
A quiet peaceful life
For the war on the hill
As they begin to fall

There are no turtles today

The rolling green
Rolling red
An abrupt stop to peace
As the sea turns its back
On the suffering of man

There are no turtles today.

Thursday, July 28, 2011

Day 175

Silence in the face
Of others
Excuses, excuses
Not living up to yourself
A shame of existence
Shunning others
For no reason.

Wednesday, July 27, 2011

Day 174

Good bye my friend
I wish I had said those words
Where have you gone?

Back home I presume.

In my head
You are missed
A smile gone
To the back of my mind.

I wish I could dwell
But I have a mission
To take on here
The best of luck
To you.

Please keep fear away
It is never good
And if we meet again
I hope it is in happier days.

For now
Good bye my friend.

Day 173

Written Tuesday, 10:30 pm

Shuffled around
Passed from hand to hand
From silly games
To my self.

I wish I had another hand
To treat you well again
Never knowing where you were going
On the attack.

Till cheeks are tearful
As souls are past
Will you make another smile
For me?

And if we are to meet again
Return not to me
Stay forever away
And keep a soul to be.

Monday, July 25, 2011

Day 172

Only 24 hours
Today, tomorrow and yesterday
To see the unfairness of life
Creeping across the valley
A fear of retribution
Never achieved
Life is unfair
And Life
Life is life.

Sunday, July 24, 2011

Day 171

A foggy blank
Pulled by the grasping mind
Breaking the fairy tale
Of the air in your lungs
Almost forgetting your project
And leaving your life to the thieves.

I see the way you work
Leaving this mind for the next
I see the way you work

Drawing blanks
Leaving a mess in the shadow
I hate to have to be clean up
And I get no help
Fixing your messes
As you mean talk me
With your lack of skills
You hidden coward.

I see the way you work
Leaving this mind for the next
I see
I see
I see goddamit
The way you work
Forsaking me
In this hole of a sanctuary
I need to know why.

And now I see
The fault is all mine
Can I return
Can I be home?

I see the way you work
Fairness has forsaken me
What am I
What am I?

Saturday, July 23, 2011

Day 170

Cracking sounds
Splitting the screen
As the break crosses
Through my heart
A silver bullet
Racing in my spleen
As the break crosses
Through my heart
Why me
Why now
Why heart
Why?

Friday, July 22, 2011

Day 169

A calm and peaceful wave
Can you feel the sound
The ringing of the air?
Can you feel the vibration
Knocking the room?

Sandy percussion shores
Lined with genius gold
Spending their days
In discussion of what is
What will be.

Will they be?
Will I be?
What is this world heading to?

I can hear the ringing in the air
Feel the vibrations in my feet
But even on a good day
We must take a breath and see
The world going to hell
At our finger tips.

The burning of each pluck
Adding to the sound of the air
Rushing through the cliff face
The speedy sounds of the spirit of memory past
Chipping away the cliff base
Slowly the houses creep
To fingernails below
As no one takes warning
Only the sound in the air leaves
Abandoning the evil for a better place.

Day 168

The problem in my head
Is all that's left here
I can't move back on in my head
Until you're out of the way.

The evil which is here
Is all in my for now
I know what is in my soul
The conflict in my mind
Is in my mind
What have I done to me?

I need to solve my self
You will be mine
Is that right?

I don't know the evil in my soul
Is that right
Is that right
Is that right?

Day 167

Narrator: Today we will tell you the story of a boy. A boy with red hair and freckles and the lack of a soul.

Boy: I have a soul.

Narrator: He is a brave boy. A humble boy. A boy who will crush you with his pinky.

Boy: Damn right.

Narrator: Now here's footage of his everyday life and us following him with exclusive interviews with his friends.

Boy: Don't I get a say?

Narrator: Haha, no. You're ginger, so sit down and watch.

Day 166

I hear the voices
They say the stars are gone
They're no longer home
They've jumped boat

And now your crying
Tears which reach the ground
Reality washing over your cheeks
With a betrayed feeling

But no one can see
It does no good to linger
In the past
I see no good in the future
When the hammer falls.

We're all blind man
Keep the blindest out
We all think we're man
But really we're boys

And tears which sprout no good
Beat down on evil's wing
Bringing fire in the wet season
As you gossip your life away.

And it does no good to linger
Stuck in the past
Point thumbs all you like
It won't help you now.

Still it fell on deaf years
Deaf due to years of the past
Old dreams and loves
Blocking their ears and vision
And yet again the blind man
Was blocked out again.

Sometimes they don't change
Never will, those closet queens
Inarticulate junkies whose ears are closed
What has it begun?
What has it begun?
What has it begun?

Nothing.

Sometimes still you can see
Where the stars were
And nothing has changed
As the people still linger
In their pipe dreams.

Monday, July 18, 2011

Day 165

When first I saw
I saw the shades of dark
When next I winced
The light entered
I only wanted
My darkness back.

Where did you go
Comfort?
Where did you go safety?

I'm here all alone
In a nice big world
All alone.

Lost some friends
A week ago
They say they went easy
Others are gone with out a trace
We still don't know
Where they are.

Lost in this big ol world
All alone
With out any friends
Will someone please
Save me.

Day 164

Its the second sun
Shining in the opposite
A light bringer in the darkness
My Prometheus
Carrying away darkness
For civilization to see
Upon the the face of Earth
Its the second sun.

Saturday, July 16, 2011

Day 163

I saw the sun rise
On the day for you
I took you in
I rose you up
It is a shame
I need to take you down.

My game was set
Before my heart
Came to be mercy on you.

Now I see what I must do
It is regrettable, I admit
But my game was set
Then you crawled along.

It is a shame, I admit
We had a few hits
You made a good wing
But my game is set
My close is ready
And you shall lose.

It is regrettable, I admit
A down right shame
I see the potential in your eyes.
You are a good man, I admit
But my game is set
And I shall close
I shall close.

Friday, July 15, 2011

Day 162

Fading dust
Time is ticking
In every passing moment
The relief of peril
Screams in the air
As the dust
Fades.

Thursday, July 14, 2011

Day 161

Blinding flash
Surge of heat
To the ear
And out the other

Stunning power
For a single stroke
Lifted up;
Beating the sun
In the game of light.

(The crowd that gathers
Stunned in shadows
See the light;
Know what is here).

A graceful swoop
A foul swipe
And flicker of cape
as they rush back to coolness;
To shadows.

The man's face wrinkles
He stands in the badlands
His march now here
His power known to all
Clear as his sword
Upon which he rules.

Flash by flash
He cuts the ties
They wish to see the stars
But he has let them;
Be swallowed by the void.

The floating man
Stares at the flames
And wonders
How he wonders
How we broke so easily.

Man by man is a Faustian bargain
The breaking of the waves
A natural balance to the flames.

And that time
That time we razed the city
Broke through the wind:

(Quaking of the wayward souls
A shadow on your heart
Scar on your soul
The evil you are).

To believe that once was pure,
A joke to all
But whispers from a burning wind
Burn in the soul
So you never forget
What you done.

But what you ain't done
Scars your mind
So many opportunities
And missed goals.

And like a seagull
The shaky wind
Wavering flight

The losing of grace
Alongside the flames
Of cool ice;

A shadowy blast
The blade comes down
Un emerging light
Concealing all hope.

What has this world
What has this world
What has this world
Become.

Fires burning
(Help me)
Raid on the City
(Save me)
This which lived
(Cut me down)
Burned to a crisp
(I feel the wave).

The only sanctuary
The only sanctuary
Was up.

The only sanctuary (burn)
The only sanctuary (burn)
The only sanctuary (burn)
Is gone.

BURN
BURN
BURN!

(Help me
I don't know why
One count of jay walking
I'm F
A
L
L
I
N
G
Sins are weighing me
D
O
W
N.)

The trapped seven
Await the fate
As Dresden falls
And they sit silently
Knowing the mess they made.

And as the sword falls
The sun comes out
The failing king's eyes
Has lost its shine.

He sits glazed over
His facial wrinkles:
Profound an ugly in death
Ugly in death.

As the flag; the hammer falls
Man falls to the throes of
Anarchy.

The floating man wonders
What had become of us
What has become of him.

(The blue and green has faded
All is stain red; fire and bllod
As anarchy comes the smoke is a signal:
The end is near

There is nothing left here
My guilt is free
And so am I:
I must leave).

So the floating man left
As the falling man stopped
He had hit the ground.

(Not so long ago
A flight I had
A peak of fire
And in a plume of smoke
Did I descend upon them.

To them my guilt joined
And now there is nothing
For me left here

Why am I
Why am I
What am I
What am I
What am I
Why am I
Why am I
Who am I

Who am I?)

And slowly he faded
In to the sea of shadowed dreams
A calming wave washed over them
As the sea broke free
Blinding flash;
Surge of heat;
A well heeled explosion
As the light fades
And the creeping cool
The creeping darkness
All that remains intact.

Day 159

The face in the shadows
That we all know
Creeping in the dark
Do we know it?

Insight;
It sits on the mind
Heavy and lonely
Lost in the sight
Of thoughts that shuffle
From wire to wire
Head to head.

The burning sensation
It seems to be in
A face red as fire
Staring into that which it perceives
That which has burned it.

The scariest thing of all
The face we see in the shadows
Our own face-
Kept from us
Kept from them
Kept from us.

Monday, July 11, 2011

Day 158

Creeping flame of obscurity
Reaching the sky of night
Lighting the stars
On there heavenly flight.

To where
We do not pretend
To know
Not even the wise man
Or his fool ponder.

What is is
The fire is
The fire is.

Sunday, July 10, 2011

Day 157

Mountains
Climbing up
A sea of sand
To the sky
The sea of blue.

Saturday, July 9, 2011

Day 156

Circular glow
Spinning lights
Take me away
Send me up
Send me home
Home.

Friday, July 8, 2011

Day 155

Almost soothing
Like an aroma wafting in the breeze
Of a calm summer evening.

Drip drop
As the destruction falls
From clouds of black
And the crashes are heard.

Almost soothing
Drip drop.

Thursday, July 7, 2011

Day 154

Shadowed moon and silhouettes
Dancing in the light of grace
For their own glory
Flowing in the sea
As clouds of white fluff
Eclipse the good
And the bad
Towards the journey's end
Darkness sinking
As light is in balance
No scale tip
Until the end begins again.

Wednesday, July 6, 2011

Day 153

Soon I'll be half way there
Ready to seize my day
My control.

A new day is coming
The moon is setting
For the rising sun
Revenge must be found.

Losing remorse
Slipping through darkness
My knowledge.

My world will know
When the angels sing
And when the devils weep
I shall be one of them.

Is there fear yet
In my soul I hear
That I have one.

The mission bells ring
The tale of darkness rise
And falling in shadow
It was my turn.

Tuesday, July 5, 2011

Day 152

New eras beginning
In the fire and flames
Detroit burns.

Let there
Let there
Let there be light!

I need some light
Ease my pain
Find my self
I need some light.

Let there
Let there
Let there be light!

Day 151

Sorry for the lateness of this, it looks like it didn't go up properly:

Breaking dawn of cracking skies
Horizons light full of bombs
Light giving forth on the day of birth
That the nation was on.

Sunday, July 3, 2011

Day 150

Sparrow flying in the night
A fleeing desire to be heard
Unto the ears of the trees
Grown to their height.

Fly, fly away
Come with me now
Fly, fly away
I will wait here for you.

As the darkness grows
The leaves turn
The rattling of the graves
Grows louder
Like an archer's arrow
It pierces the air
Giving the fright.

Fly, fly away
Come with me know
Fly, fly away
I cannot wait here.

Flying sparrow
Crying to the sky
Of all things seen
In the rattled
Night.

Saturday, July 2, 2011

Day 148

(Scene begins. Troops sit while a general peps them up).

General: Well troops, if I may call you that, tonight we have a tough battle ahead of us. Who brought guns? (counts the number) Only (insert number)? That is pathetic! The rest of you will have to eat your way through the opposing army?

Troop 1: Sir, who is our enemy?

General: The radish army.

Troop 2: Are you sure its not the French or the-

General: Enough of this nonsense! It's the radish army! If you have a legit question please ask it.

Troop 3: Do we at least get forks and knives?

General: No.
(A murmur goes through the room)
Troop 4 (to troop 5): I think he's insane.

General: I heard that soldier! (he stops). Listen, they are coming, battle stations!
(There is a great flutter as radish attacks. Scene ends).

Thursday, June 30, 2011

Day 147

The sun is losing light
Sinking like a ship
Whose hull is broke
Into the sea

As the Dutchman rises
For his due
The new dawn keeps him away
A ship to sail once more.

Wednesday, June 29, 2011

Day 146

Voyaged flight in to the end
A flutter of the wings
Swiftly from flames
Undetailed as sunshine on a cloudy afternoon.

Loss of the mind
In the flames of the truth
Oh my irony!:
Why do you do me the way you do!

Tuesday, June 28, 2011

Day 145

(Scene begins)
Man: Hello I am Bendict Frollo and I am here to tell you about the friend pill, Friendz2you! While you may think that this is a complex and complicated hoax like certain spam messages let me assure this has nothing to do with attractive 25 year olds living in your area but rather a clean cut business centered around making you more popular then that jock which beat you up for lunch money when you were in high school! Here is some user testimony:
Man 1: I used Friendz2you and am now always flocked by beautiful woman
Woman 1: I used Friendz2you and loved the results
Bendict: Here is how the friend pill works. It releases hormones that you can't possibly understand and most certainly cause cancer. These hormones make you more attractive to men, women and beast. But don't take my word for it!
Woman 2: I began dating my boyfriend out of pity, he looked like mr. krab met a whale: in short he was hideous. However once he began taking Friendz2you he became the most attractive man on Earth and know I love him!
Bendict: And all this can be yours for a few easy payments of 69.96! That's right you can finally have friends for 20 easy payments of 69.96! Call now or lose out on this remarkable offer that is most definitely legit and not funding organized crime! So call now or else you won't find a horse head in your bed, nope you definitely won't find that!

Day 144

Day 90 (Ending) revised:

Citizen: Help

Ganondorf: No.

(Citizen bangs on windows)

Ganondorf: What do I get?

Citizen: My (insert item)

Ganondorf: Nice (He lets him out as citizen rejoices. They exit. End episode.)

Sunday, June 26, 2011

Day 143

Sky on fire
Smoking the sea
Burning the clouds
Smoking the sea.

Saturday, June 25, 2011

Day 142

Blinding lights of hypnotics
Capturing the thoughtless mind
Flying through space and time
In the clock of all.

Ticking it ticks
Knowing what is true
In the light of things
To be said are
True.

Friday, June 24, 2011

Day 141

The lighted fires of the night
Spreading in the wings
Quiet darkness waiting
Nothing told
Remembered quite so well.

Thursday, June 23, 2011

Day 140

one
two three
four

Can you hear
The numbers
Beat down

one
two three
four

Can you hear the hearts?
They beat as one
Through the darkness
And the light.
I hear them,
Here they are again:

one
two three
four

Can you hear them?

Wednesday, June 22, 2011

Day 139

Carried into the dark
A lack of breath in sight
Enemies who know less
Know more and more.

The voices tell me
You are crazy
The voices tell me
You are crazy.

Shadows covering the heart
Losing the fight of the day
Night falling over the hill
Darkness creeping; a lonely ninja.

The voices tell me
This is crazy
The voices tell me
This is crazy.

Tuesday, June 21, 2011

Day 138

Speeding ripples
Racing to the turtle
Who cares less
Skimming the pond
As the dragons fly ahead
Gracefully and beautifully
And fish which eat
The young swim in packs
Making ripples which head
To the turtle that cares less.

Monday, June 20, 2011

Day 137

Clipped wings of the bird
Regrowing from the cage
As heat scorches its body
The chains that bind it
Break away.

Breaking through the clouds
As freedom dawns in the morning
And mourning the loss of safety
Individuality and creativity
A dawning like no other.

Sunday, June 19, 2011

Day 136

Final strings
Of burning bridges
As fire rages
The scorching heat.

Agony of the windows
As they all melt
Slowly but surely
Being free of this hell.

Saturday, June 18, 2011
