The Afghan Whigs.

Wall.

My wall is great
My wall is grand
You can't see my wall
From where you stand

You ask why i'm so bitter,
I ask why you're so vain.
I have this wall
It's built out of pain.

Last FM

Halloween is here and the haunting is gone
I can smile as i sing along
To the sweet sounds at last
The new tunes cranked full blast
At awe with the way it moves
all them folkie grooves
Hold me close like a sweet caress
It all started from a new BS

Meaning?

Is there a course for the meaning of life?
Or is there a meaning?
You live the meaning, we are all examples
of what it is to be alive
But to think there is a right way and a wrong way
is the cause of death itself
There is no right and no wrong
we just have to get along

Sanity

Got a new view of sanity
Only after the long view
of the insane has completed
The only sane human left
is locked in a padded room

What is that?

Its just a line of crumbs that will lead you to me

Music moves the Soul

To you, wherever you are tonight.

There is no rush, it's not like i need to get to work
I know you are there, and when we collide
the earth will shake, for something so grand
can't be ignored, can't be denied, just collide
like two protons in neutral territory
One day you will see, as will i
what the meaning of love is
Writing love letters in the snow
Not even the rain can wash it away
For its energy runs eternally

The path

I travel through this journey on path alone
i met you and thought i found a pair
We held hands and continued on
until one day i hit that stump
fell and scraped my knee
i lay in waiting for an outstretched hand
it never came
instead it continued on by your side.
i am now on my feet, all dusted off
going down my own path again
i can see the flowers and the bees
their beauty moves me
i am happy with what i see
For now i know its me
that holds the key to my destiny

Monday Meh in Mid October

Got my coffee and now i'm set,
A little Godiva, dark chocolate
And my pipe. Flip open the book
Now this is the way to spend your day
As my fire burns and sparks
I can now see it only needs me

Why? Right when i'm about to step out

i spent the day wading through the debris
crap left behind from a life lived long ago
non of this matters, i can pick up these shattered pieces
throw them into a box and store them until
that day comes again, when i need to sort through
my past to find meaning in this day i live
tomorrow i will awake to find that cold spot on my bed
i wish i could let the dog up, he knows the meaning
of unconditional.
Until the day i find anew, i will ponder and stew.

lets give thanks

Today's the day we give thanks
For all that we have, its great
I am especially thankful
for the people in my life
All those that bring me joy
and the ones that bring me grief
For without them i would be lost
I am also thankful for where i live
as i get to do as i wish

Grassy Ass

It's 1am

My biggest problem in life is i usually see people for who they are
Its tough to get through this, as i find that most of what hold people back
are simple little EGO based traits. People at their base level are brilliant
But you only get this when they are traumatized
Otherwise its in human nature to build oneself up to a level that
no one else will ever match. The only people they surround themselves with
are people who agree with them. Yes men they say. I will not say
i have no ego, but i am fully aware when my ego is at play.
Most are not. You are not better than i, and i am not better than you
It's all about the learning experience.
Teach and learn

It's that simple

muah!

...

Its a front can't you see. An armor that protects me.
Nothing more, nothing less. But for it's reasons are yours to guess

Roses!

I wonder if the roses notice.
They could be busy too.
Or are we really busy?
We have yesterday in our back pocket
and tomorrow on the calender
But today i have roses.
Wanna smell?

Mission Accomplished

As my past regrets would haunt, i thought it was me doing wrong. But as i look at the path i travelled all i see is beauty. It is now known that i have done as i intended. These are not regrets no more, but a mission accomplished. These pieces that were broken are now better off than when they started. Time to walk a new path where nothing needs fixing, to ease the burden i have placed on this heart.

"Calamities have opened my heart and
Tears have cleansed my eyes, and
Errors have taught me the language
Of the hearts"

A snippet from Kahlil Gibran's "Leave me, My Blamer" poem.

IMO the most sighted writer to have graced my eyes and ears.

Cycle

Sitting here i feel the pain
of this October rain
it rolls away in a stream
to a place far from here
the cycle will start over again
and soon it will be resurrected
white fluffy lovely snow
that makes you smile
while causing grief
till it melts away
into a stream
to start the cycle over again

An oldie...

Pulled this one out of the journal from a couple months back......


You held me down to see your eyes
Within them i despise
The beauty that lies inside
It holds me tight to solid ground
Except i could see no one around
To give me the breathe that i desired
Filling my sails is what's required
