Will It Be Solved Sooner?
tinkering
on luck one hits
carelessly an
oil lick,
beyond control
oil spreads farther than
your eyes can see
birds soon bathed in
oil, algae no longer growing
corals are dying
a marine world destroyed
with man's
reckless imprudence,
will it be solved sooner
before it reaches you?

Clear Vision
O poet have a clear vision
Sooner or later you are dying
O poet have a participation
In this vibrant poetry community
Sooner or later you are dying
O poet you do not know minus
And you know only plus plus
Sooner or later you are dying
Here is your eyes here is sun
Here is bird here is song
O poet you are here with butterflies
You are here with the whirlwind
Sooner or later you are dying
O poet you are above you are below
You are behind you are a head
O poet this world is your garden
And you are blossoming here in passion
And you are making a story
O poet you have a clear vision
And you are here at this moment.

Red corals and blue algae,
Wet sadnesses and swimming love
Need their own light.

The House Jack Built
Open doors so I walk inside
Close my eyes find my place to hide
And I shake as I take it in
Let the show begin
Open my eyes
Just to have them close again
Well on my way
On my way to where I graze
It swallows me
As it takes me in his home
I twist away
As I kill this world
Open doors so I walk inside
Close my eyes find my place to hide
And I shake as I take it in
Let the show begin
Open my eyes
Just to have them close once again
Don't want control
As It takes me down and down again
Is that the moon
Or just a light that lights this deadend street?
Is that you there
Or just another demon that I meet?
The higher you are
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl
My body my temple
This temple it tells
Step into the house that Jack built
The higher you are
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl
My body my temple
This temple it tells
Yes this is the house that Jack built
Open doors as I walk inside
Swallow me so the pain subsides
And I shake as I take this in
Let the show begin
The higher you are
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl
My body my temple
This temple it tells
Yes this is the house that Jack built
The higher you are
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl
My body my temple
This temple it tells
Yes I am I am I am
Open my eyes
It swallows me
Is that you there
I twist away
Away
Away
Away

Open doors so I walk inside

Find my place to hide
And I shake as I take it in
Let the show begin
Open my eyes
Just to have them close again
Well on my way
But on my way to where Ive been
It swallows me
As it takes me in its fog
I twist away
As I give this world a nod
Open doors so I walk inside
Close my eyes
Find my place to hide
And I shake as I take it in
Let the show begin
Open my eyes
Just to have them close once again
Dont want control
As it takes me down and down and down again
Is that the moon
Or just a light that lights this dead end street?
Is that you there
Or just another demon that I meet?
The higher you are
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl
My body my temple
This temple it tilts
Step into the house that jack built
The higher you are
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl
My body my temple
This temple it tilts
Yes this is the house that jack built
Open doors as I walk inside
Swallow me so the pain subsides

Sick and Dying (Overdose)
Miss Molly in my head
Miss Mary walks in too
Stomach drops and heart races
Vision fades to white
I can hear them call my name
as I sink farther and farther
Lifted to the heavens
Comfortable and Numb
Sick and dying I struggle to stay awake
Sick and dying Hallucinating
Sick and dying The world is shaking
Sinking in and out of life
Struggling to stay on Earth
My eyes roll into my skull
muscles tense as I begin to fall
Miss Molly and Miss Mary dance in my head
I can hear them call my name
sinking deeper and deeper
and the world gets farther and farther
fading quickly, my eyes close
Skin burning, Skin chilling
Hallucinating life
Skin Burning, brain chilling
Looking through a fog
Skin chilling, Brain burning
douse me in kerosine
let me burn alive
and save me from this hell
Sick and Dying I stay alive
Sick and Dying I survive the night

Truth Hits Everybody
Sleep lay behind me like a broken ocean
Strange waking dreams before my eyes unfold
You lay there sleeping like an open doorway
I stepped outside myself and felt so cold
Take a look at my new toy
Itll blow your head in two, o boy
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone
I thought about it and my dream was broken
I clutch at images like dying breath
And I dont want to make a fuss about it
The only certain thing in life is death
Take a look at my new toy
Itll blow your head in two, o boy
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone
Where you want to be
Wont you ever see
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone

A good name reaches far but a bad one reaches farther.
A Member Of The Corps
He was small for a Marine,
The dying boy there in the bed.
Three times he'd fought off cancer
but now, inside his head,
a serious infection
would claim his life instead.
Cody Green was only twelve.
All his life he'd loved the Corps.
They made him a navigator,
The insignia he wore.
An honorary soldier
A marine in time of war.
The crises was upon him.
He would not win this fight
A fellow member of the Corps
Stood honor guard all night
There would be a flag draped coffin
for this member of the Corps.
Cody Green, a Young Marine
A Marine in time of war..

Dialogue Between Hamlet And His Conscience
- She's- She's in the riverbed, in algae
And weeds...She went to them
To sleep, - but there's no sleep there, either!
- But she's the one I loved
Like forty thousand brothers
Couldn't love!
- Hamlet!
She's in the riverbed, in algae:
Algae! . . And her last garland
Has surfaced in the logs by the bank...
- But she's the one I loved
Like forty thousand...
- Less,
Even so, than a single lover.
She's in the riverbed, in algae.
- But she's the one -
I loved??

Youll Find Out
(lyrics: thomas flowers)
Even if you turn away
Sweep it all aside
Under the rug
Nothing ventured nothing gained
But your problems still remain
If youre living in denial
Afraid to face yourself
Wasted all the time
When I look into your eyes
I see something inside of you that was once inside of me
And Ive been there before
I nearly lost my wife my friends and more
Youll find out sooner or later
You find out sooner or later
You find out sooner or later
You find out sooner or later
If your lifes become a mess
And put you to the test
Just like all the rest
When I look into your eyes
I see something inside of you
Youll find out sooner or later
You find out sooner or later
You find out sooner or later
You find out sooner or later

Blind Lies
Open your arms feel what i feel
stare in my eyes see what i see
cause it all comes to an end sooner or
later when the pain is just to great to bare
we hold on to the little things that
ensures us love knowing sooner or later
it can all come to an end
keeping all the pain held back
we put on these fake smile and head into
the world hoping no one will see us hurting
while deep inside were dying and
just lying to our selves

(Rejection Poem) Angel Of Death
The blood is rushing through my veins.
Breaking free of the shackles and chains.
Being pulled away.
I want to stay but I must go.
Oh hell, no.
It wont happen.
I killed all the passion.
Its over.
Done, sorry but this game can never be won.
The angel of death has come.
Reaping those lost souls.
I got to just walk away.
Its no longer my mistake.
I must take control.
Pulling the reins trying to drive me insane.
Patience, is no longer in my best interest.
Just leave me alone.
Let me be calm.
Probably should get stoned.
A unending high in this life.
A dream being destroyed.
But I must let go.
For the angel of death has come.
Reaping those lost souls.
I must take control.
A choice has been made.
As the day fades.
Win or lose it no longer matter anyways.
I'm not playing.
I'm not staying.
So let the angel of death come.
Reaping those lost souls.
I must take control.
I was the fool.
I was the fool.
A life so cruel.
I'll watch from afar.
Like a distant star.
You can no longer reach me.
You can no longer b*tch to me.
The line has been written in the sand.
Everyone one on that side is damned.
So let the angel of death come.
Reaping the lost souls
oh reaping the lost souls.
I must take control.
By saying no,
i will not follow a heart so hollow.
I'm not blinded by the sickness.
No oh no.
So let the angel of death come.
Just let her come.

All Sunsets
Every sunset
reflects the dying day
in the western sky
bathed by Ocean blue
the body is due
for the funeral
lit red hot is the sky
some soft music flows
darkness shrouds the air
it is time to depart
the crowd hastens
to secured rests
the very birds
sing in a horrible tune
the mystery is solved
soon his majesty is dissolved
Every sunset
touches me deep within
there is melancholy
in the air unholy
sighing nature
singing unbearably
every twilight
heralds night
visionless
insecure hands
waiting for the dawn distant
every sunset
kills my half body
I could see
imprinted in the mind
my mother
father and loved ones
our family
like a garland of love
diminishing
disappearing into nothing.............

All I Want
All i want,
is the memories of us,
Like the one we use to know,
In between the pain and hurt,
We didn't realise what we were losing,
I didn't realise that i had lost,
The one thing that meant everything to me,
A family that was whole,
But now it broken and unbalanced,
My life is like a jigsaw,
But all the pieces don't seem to fit,
Tears fall from my eyes,
And roll down my cheeks,
As i think of what I lost,
A family,
Now i'm living in a world of distruction,
A destroyed world,
Broken, unbalanced,
I'd crawl across the world,
I'd go to hell and back,
If i can just have my family back
And i don't want love to destroy me,
Like it destroyed my family,
It ain't easy growing up in World War 3,
Never knowing what love would be,

Stars In Your Eyes
(graham russell)
We are civilized and free from all confusion
And yet we always worry for the things that we cant see
But now to give your love away, a miracle in motion
You know what seems invisible will never ever be disguised to me
I start to lose control
I start to lose control
(chorus)
I know I will remember for longer than forever
All the love and the stars in your eyes
Until my arms surround you and I build the world around you
All I see are stars in your eyes
First you hear the angels sing and then you see the wedding ring
Shining as the threads of life so secretly are woven
You know what youve found, you want to last forever
Your heart has found its wings and left for never never
And then I lose control
I start to lose control
(chorus)
I know I will remember for longer than forever
All the love and the stars in your eyes
(repeat chorus)

Noahs Dove
You won a prize for that,
For telling lies like that
So well that I believed it.
And I never felt cheated.
You were the chosen one,
The pure eyes of noahs dove.
Choir boys and angels
Stole your lips and your halo.
In your reckless mind,
You act as if youve got more lives.
In your reckless eyes, you only have time and your love of danger
To it your no stranger.
In that august breeze
Of those forgotten trees,
Your time was set for leaving,
Come a colder season.
In your reckless mind,
You act as if youve got more lives
In your reckless eyes,
Its never too late for a chance to seize some final breath of freedom.
Very, so very wise.
Dont reveal it. Im tired, tired of knowing
Where it is youre going.
In your reckless mind,
You act as if youve got more lives.
In your reckless eyes,
Its never too late for your love of danger
To it youre no stranger.
In your reckless mind,
You act as if youve got more lives.
In your reckless eyes, its never too late
For a chance to seize some
Final breath of freedom

Stars have eyes! !
Stars have eyes
Did anyone ever see the eyes on stars?
The eyes on stars full of soul
Look any longer they take control
Did anyone ever see the eyes on stars?
The eyes on stars behold the sight
Look any longer and glide free like a kite
Did anyone see the eyes on stars?
The eyes on stars oh what a smile
Look any longer they’ll lite your darkness for a mile
Did anyone see the eyes on stars?
The eyes on stars share the love
Look any longer you know it comes from above
Well now you’ve seen the eyes on stars
Shared the beautiful soul amazed by their wonder
Enchanted by the smile
And overwhelmed by the love
But look any longer you will see the pain
The pain on the eyes of stars
Never to be concealed by the rain
The eyes on stars cry
Never to be wiped dry
The eyes on stars cry
The eyes on stars cry blood tears
Permanently there reminding of fears
The eyes on stars cry
The eyes on stars cry
Stars eyes cry
Stars eyes cry
Stars eyes cry
They cry blood
Stars eyes cry
Stars eyes smile
Stars have eyes
Stars eyes.

Carelessly
Charles f. kenney / nick kenney / n. ellis
How carelessly
You gave me your heart
And carelessly I broke it, sweetheart
I took each tender kiss you gave to me
Every kiss made you a slave to me
Then carelessly
I told you good-bye
But now at night I wake up and cry
I wish I knew a way to find the love
I threw away so carelessly
