TBT: The Captured Soul (2004)

My soul
Is energy-

It stands apart
From the world
It now lives
In my mind-
A home that it created

Yet, now all on its own
It is still keeping me connected


My soul
Is watching-

It is shaped
By the manner
I have lived
In my life-
A witness for the universe

Yet, in searching for its own
It is still keeping me collected

Deliciousness

Very accomplished-
Can’t get his bones to relax
He believes in lasting logic
His sister has a brother that waits for gratification
With a name that makes him hungry

Always interrupted-
Can’t get his ashes resurrected
He envisions justice shouting
His father has a son that waits for patience
With a name that makes him angry

Challenge accepted-
Can’t get his power restored
He presumes his own infallibility
His god has a worshipper that waits for drama
With a name that makes him manly

TBT: The Captured Heart (2002)

Your hands
on my arms-
your kiss,

I've missed you
...so much...

My eyes close,
...this bliss.


Your comfort
in my heart-
you're sweet,

I've been through
...so much...

My breath slows,
...this heat.

Rocking Horse

             There were no bigger
        steps
to take
     Than the ones
                          I
painstakingly hate
                           My legs
cannot carry me over the mountain
                  My doubts created over lifetimes

             There were no bigger
        dreams
to create
     Than the ones
                          I
painstakingly curate
                           My mind
cannot carry me over the false memories
                  My imagination created over lifetimes

TBT: The Captured Mind (1999)

Sitting at the top of the stairs
I thought I could see
Thought I could read
Seems I was lost
In these stairs to nowhere
In these lost stars

Bridge to my mind
It was looking after me
Running free, my legs took me
Seems I couldn't swim
In these stairs to nowhere
In these unknown oceans

Giving support to my soul
I thought I knew the truth
Thought I could breathe
Seems I couldn't walk
In these stairs to nowhere
In these captured minds

Move The Moon

The plan right now
Is to get out of here
And get as far away
As I can from my fears
Look at all the misery
You can surely avoid
There’s plenty of reasons
To always be annoyed
I’m not asking you
To move the moon
But I will need a favour
I’ll ask of you soon
