Piscine Kipling Poems

In The Deck Of The American Boat
Ride Up The Rivers Of The Modern Age
Passing The Divergent Tributaries
Where Isolated Villages Sit Still
...

Today was a not a fantastic day for me,
Any day was like it whether its my birthday or a monday,
It'd seemed pretty normal and wasn't exaggerated,
Routine and normality still taking hold on me,
...

I find myself in the dark covers of a mountain's shadow
In a cabin, dying down the memories days past had brought
Raging times and memories we torn up still not mellow
Through my window, I see the black bear's leg is caught
...

What does the sky do but drape over us, in deep blue and solemn gray?
And what is our aspirations doing but pull us further into a bitter end?
Why are we chasing those moments we plan to have some other day?
We know our futures will eventually come, but what happens then?
...

I am lost in tomorrow, I'm already gone from today
Some say I went their alone, but I know the story

I fell into a hole, a place that freezes my time
...

She's just some ordinary girl with a pretty face
Some beauty I don't know and someone I exaggerate
She's a muse to me, pictures of her inspire my poems
I write about her life and its something I don't know
...

Predicament

I have seen it all and the choice I want to make
Now is to retreat into the solemn quiet life of my mind
...

We live in a transparent world with covered eyes and visions veiled
Our self-respect and dignity sold for a job, our lives are sealed
Go to school for years so you can work the dayshift until your lunchtime meal
And when Mr. President comes around your already on the ground in a kneel
...

I'll be the one, to tell you babe, that you ain't crazy, and its not in your head
And if you want to go, I'll remind you of why, you should stay with me for a while

I'll be the one, that cheers you up inside, if your rifted by the alienation of life
...

I remember moments far back in the deepness of my mind
Of past times, of you and me and a life that has been
I remember thoughts I use to have all throughout the night
When my world was about you, one that I have always knew
...
