Summer Break

A window is open
I can hear the wind
A choir of white noise
With no words to sing
And shout
A brown leather chair
Sits on the cold, hard floor
Whose place is upon it?
We might never know
Until
I go and check the carpet it’s on
With the shadows that rise from the floor and…
What?
*chuckles*
I'm sorry I haven't slept
In quite some time
Just pour me a glass
Of black mud and I'll be fine
For now
The door is on fire
Red marks everything
No places to hide
From all the darkened beings
My string’s getting longer
With corroded green
And summer’s break’s over
With a beautiful day outside

For You, For Me

Walk down the field
And you’ll see
All the flowers bloom
No one left
No one to return
Hello my friend
I’ve been waiting
All this
Time
The notes’
On the spreadsheet
The numbers are aligned
Everything's in order
It is
Time
Time
Distort the voice
Distort the soul
Distort everything that you
See
Nothing but a stupid guitar
To accompany
Have you come ‘round?
Turn ‘round
Could you see the stars align
In front of you?
Don’t you?
Why should I fall?
When you fall?
When the leaves fall?
Can’t you see?
I expected so much more
You did not deserve anything at all
From the leaves around
Story’s found
Spreaded across words
That you wrote
And then you distort
Can’t you think?
I am so tired
I can’t dream anymore
Just like me
And anyone you’ll see
Will tell you:
“Wait your turn”
I…
Tried…
Why…?
At the end of the road
A tree fall
And fall
And fall
And fall
And fall
.

How long?
Frozen in place
I can’t fathom
Your inner space
Now look at what you’ve done
Quite a new norm
Someone might say:
“It’s an art form”
I do not think that’s
What transpired here
Before
Now enjoy
A week torn
Don’t you think that’s a problem?
Stuck away in the
BASEMENT
Walking
Gibberish speaking
Crawling
Air vents are tightening
AGAIN
As night fall
Open the door
Just once more
Hoooooooo…
...How?
Long?
Will you ignore?
That he
Has lost control
Over everything
Time, Space
Stuck in a dream
How?
Long?
Will you ignore?
Every part that he told?
Face down
Say you agree:
“This state is solely on me”

Oh,
Everything
That I see
Under skies of blue and green
Oh,
Everything
That I hear
Any bells that you may ring
Oh,
Everything
To lock the key
Thrown away afar to sea
Oh,
Everything
That’ll scream
Rapture all but you and me
Oh,
Legless Being
Run and swim
For horizon far and dim
When you see
The mountain
You will hear
The fountain
Of your dream
Oh,
Fangless Thing
Wrap your wings
Dive away to stardom
Strings
(Will cut you)
Sharp as dreams
(Will catch you)
Of the streams
(Will get you)
Consciousness will soon reveal
(No one to believe)
Oh,
Anything
That may watch
Raise your head above the clouds
Oh,
Anything
That may laugh
High in voice and low in touch
Oh,
Dreamer king
Who know what’s real
Help the fool collect his string
When he’ll see
A river
He won’t drink
A sliver
Turn around
Oh,
Senseless Ring
Of tyrants
And monsters
And hollowing winds
Drop your beliefs
(Will hurt you)
Open your ears
(Will break you)
No one
Will ever
(Won’t save you)
Accept you
(Help you)
Except of the fool
(Take you)
And the dream
(Again)
And when you notice where the road ends
With the sun rising high above
Do not look down
Smell the petrichor
And hear the bird’s song of welcome
And when you notice where the cloud-line begins
High above and back behind you
Do not look down
Step forward a few more steps
And wake up, Dreamer
Wake up

I look
Behind me
And I see everything
I look
Behind me
And I see everything
As the grass grows tall
Against my feet
On the hill
On the hill
I see
Everyone that has gone before me
On the hill
I hear
Every noise that has fallen
Before me
(It’s not time)
When will it be?
(It’s not time)
I’ll sit under a tree
