1.
Darkness, My Bride

Standing alone with my nose turned up
Sitting awake in my bed
Pouring a glass; a half empty cup
Pouring my glass till I’m dead
...

2.
Fishing For Love

Endless; my search for true love
Shallow; my heart floats above.

Fishing for love on an open sea
...

3.
Stare

Harmless moment,
Safe, seasoned breeze
Tickles my soul as I stare
Aimed away from smog
...

4.
Silence

Braided beauty closely hugs
hardened body tightly tugs
soulless shadow in the light
silence says he lost the fight
...

5.
Fall

Beside my foot, a wedged print.
A track of my own.
A future disaster.
God, let me fall.
...

6.
Together

Layer my life upon sediments of rust
Among my friends, among the rest
Together, viewed; together we are.
Together, viewed; together we are.
...

7.

It seems as though these promises leak through my empty skin
A shallow heart’s familiar song sings to show my sin
An honest breath unannounced might break me from my root
But for now, and history, this world I will pollute
...

8.
Rocking Chair

Wind is your only friend;
It moves you from your place
But there is no time to spend;
Just keeping at it’s pace
...

9.
The Statue

Look at the statue
So proud and brave
The city’s tattoo
He’s all the rave
...

10.
I'Ll Walk

I’ll walk until my feet will bleed
I’ll walk until they burn
I’ll walk alone so I can lead
Because that’s all I’ve earned
...
