one moment
over and over relived
vivid reflections on past misery and happiness
a thousand
...

Darkness trails behind the warrior
As he journeys to a land
Eyes hid by a visor of pain
As he slowly takes his stand
...

I live a battle in my heart
A thousand wars years made apart
I swim a sea of misery filled up with tears
Of drowned out dreams
...

It was always so easy to point out the wrong
Because the right was not aggressive
So I have fallen to the sins of my father
I did not understand you
...

Questions you ask
So funny for the answers you seek
You already have
And I laugh
...

driven to exceed
my every expectation
only to fall short
tripped up by my own hurts
...

foolish dreams
shattered hopes
fall from the sky
as if an ariel raid
...

Funny to watch the rain wash down the dying light
Take the edge from the coming night
Blurring beings
Hazy endings full of bunched up meanings
...

The room still smells
Like the pants you wore last night
Wild and musty
Dragging me into memories
...

Standing still below a velvet sky
I cry out for an answer
When no clear question exists
A lofty meaning in the dying lights
...

A million misunderstandings
Line the road between
Too many spaces
Places I have never been
...
