Hamlet

a dark winter night
never felt such a fright
the look in your eyes
it turned me pale white

so i'm ready to fight
and i think that i might
be right in my mind
but it feels like the time
is lagging behind

and you know what you did
but that's not even it.
you just don't give a shit
and i'd bet that you'd get
a huge lump of coal
if you met St. Nick

do you feel that yet?
that pain in your chest?
i'm glad that you left
you failed the one test
take look at yourself
and forget about the rest

because i'm on to you now
you incestuous clown
i'm not about to bow down
you don't deserve the crown

mother how could you!?
mother why would you!?
you knew this man
i thought he meant something to you?

stabbed through the thread
a sheet stained red.
morning thereafter
my love's dad lay dead

and so they said
off to england
like a kid sent to bed
but what he meant
was off with his head

i returned to find out
that she'd gone and drowned
but i loved her much more
then i had ever let on

oh this show has be going too slow
i'm getting the feeling that the chance to grow old
has passed me by, and now it is time.

drank from the cup, her spirit went up
slashed with the tip, it took me a bit.
forgiveness on a whim, same fate for him.
and with my uncle at his end, my father's avenged.

Stay

i'm not sure if i miss
you or the feeling i'd get
when we shared a kiss.
i miss the bliss
the supreme happiness

but i carry the fire
i hold the flame
could we go on forever this way?

Heart to heart, my love cut short
by a high wall, it kept us apart.
i met you, i thought
i think, too much
so it seems i sing
my melody rings
brings memories
of us and it stings

sometimes, somedays
i'm so afraid.
so whisper and say
"it'll all be ok
today's a new day
and when the sun comes up
i'll love you the same"

Moon light

moon light
spilled shadows, onto mine
and all over her eyes
while trying
to fill, in what might
crack. careful caught
you are, cut right through the line.
melt mine, melt mine.

an empty dark white
canvas made too
rigid. still she
somehow broke through.

shattered water
sharpened so smooth
she never felt it
i never knew you.

her lies
stay stinging, into sight
while heart flutters, feed my fright
mistimed
her jump, off that height.
fell, got lost
now i've, forgotten what it's like.
melt mine, melt mine.

Guide Me

it's your wrong doing. you misplaced
my lovely light hearted lively focus.
and i want to believe, you're still a part of me
but you tore right through me,
you see right through me

and i see the world in a different light
it was just the wrong time. wrong place, i'm mine.
my own sense, of wrong and right.
time flies a one way flight.

the pages you spoiled, with my bitter wet heat,
that ran a red ravine down my glowing hot cheeks
told a story of unconditional love,
oh which little girls confess in their diaries
that they themselves have been dreaming of.

superman, he can fly away.
but i'm no hero, not for her anyway.
i thought i was, but she would have stayed.
i trust in faith, and fate, and what my heart has to say.

Read My Hand

well how i am,
i show you my hand.
you read my cards
you see my heart.

flee. run. while i'm gone.
i've been dreaming of
writing a song.
i get my hugs,
but nothing of
the kind my mind
has been trying to find.
you left love behind.
forsaken. you were mine.

words aren't enough, for this sort of stuff.
my eyes speak the best
and my heart says whats left.
just another way to word,
what i felt and what i feel.
confusing the moments
that i thought seemed unreal.

Sometime

sometimes there aren't words to say,
to explain the way, we feel every day.

sometimes we are, we live, we learn.
sometimes we aren't, we give, we urn.

sometimes i lie, so that i'll feel safe.
but some time is all it takes,
to lose the chance to say,
whatever you felt the day
you let life slip away.

Paths

Jump up to the bounce
of the beat
of the heat
that melts your sweet
smelling scent
into sweat off your skin.
'Cause this world seems
to spin into sins
but regardless of how
someone's always got to win

I'm a cheater, I'm a liar
I'm the slow dying flames,
of a self serving fire.

And your wind feeds me,
but almost knocks me out.
It's a delicate balance,
between a whisper and a shout.
And I'm so lost in the crowd,
the deafening volume
of the infinite sound.

Unconditional love,
led me to an undying light.
And the darkness makes sense
because no matter how bright
you might try to shine,
you'll always cast some shadows.
It's just part of life

You're Eyes Are Smeared

the shadows spilled down the tunnel
burried beneath the ocean
a deep dark blue
black, but cold, with dampened color

she walked along the edge
in the middle
she laid on the road

in her dress
she was a mess
but still pretty nonetheless

eyes rimmed with black
chilled with tears
but a smile shattered her image

so she waits.
for a light, for a ride
for a lift into another life

calmly crying
and still smiling.
a beautiful wreck
came from his death.

she lost her lovely hidden heart
for a boy who had his torn apart.

still, quiet, on the pavement.
her chest moved up and down
and the water started dripping

into the tunnel, into her eyes,
onto her skin, and into her mind.
flooded with memories,
her lungs slowed. stopped.

surrounding his heart's pounding.
a trigger went off.

love was the name.
if only she'd known,
maybe the girl wouldn't have felt so alone

Saturation

Scream, scream
boy you can dream
but you can't, be
one of those kinds that will
sing, sing
or you'll lose sight
of those simple things.

And we'll breath, as one
i'm already here
just hug, me love
i've already seen,
what you're capable of
with my feet off the ground
i've drowned, enough
to know, it's you.

Light was, spilling
shadows filling
up, your forgiving
smile.
my lungs swelled
they started to bleed.
so i sang half heartedly
for a while.

Leave, leave
stop holding on
and release, me
you're only fooling yourself.
sweet, sweet
just leave me be.
it's too much to hold
leave the heart on the shelf.

Filter

it's times like these
when i wish i could see.
live and roam free, in my memories

and sit by the fire,
by the light.
on the roof top,
loving the sight.
in front of the sunrise,
and by your side.

it's times like these
when i live for my dreams.

untitled

i started this blog about one year ago. i'm so greatful for the push i got to do so, because it's meant a lot to me. i probably wouldnt have written nearly as much as i have if i hadn't gotten the blog, because it makes it much easier to get your thoughts out while they're still in your head. i've learned a lot in the past year, and i don't mean about calc and physics, sorry public education, but i mean about life. i've grown a lot, and i'm still growing. i hope to continue to progress with my writing and my music. who knows where i'd be if i didnt have this outlet, life gives you some curvey paths to take sometimes. but hey, at least there's a path. happy birthday riley

Make It What You Want

fading out, 'round the room
not so loud, i'm leaving soon.

dusk to dawn, another ruse
tie me on, a beautiful noose.

not a sound. just a sight.
half way drowned, in a dazzling light.

might we let life try
with time, to take our signs
our lies, our perfect designs
when the moment arrives
and bend that shine
the blinding light
into an assortment of colors
with six blurry devides.

so the overwhelming light,
became the artist's delight.
way too much was really just right.

Glow Blue

its like a damp heat.
its warm and inviting.
moist white lightning.

its blinding.
but so sweet.
oh so calmly, we will weep.

until the push is gone.
until the pull feels strong.

move on, moved on.
only to meet, at the same song.

we couldn't leave.
a late light breeze.
i've waited for you.

i couldn't say.
what makes love stay.
but the flame's still blue.

All For One

you've robbed me of another night
another nice, quiet sleep.

you've robbed me of my one true dream.
another restless struggle, deep
runs the well, of stones that tell
the stories of the watermarks.

so high, but dry.
and the grains of salt you poured in,
show at the bottom.

you've robbed me of my wealth,
my health, my real true self.

you've robbed me of my mind,
my eyes, my thoughts, my life.

but i don't mind,
i look in the sky
and see the baby blue horizon.
every bit of my sense, is certain.

you've robbed me of my heart,
this explains it.
that's the most important part.

you take all these things it seems,
can you take the rest of me?

Catcher In The Rye poems for lit

Lie Loud


You think a thought and let it get lost.
Behind your eyes
is a mind full of lies.


You begin to feel sorry about
having your head up in the clouds.
And i can't help but wonder,
when you'll go deaf from the thunder.


The clouds crept down
to fog up this town,
our eyes, our minds.
It's getting quieter now.


Too Far


Creeping. Sleeping.
I'm awake, but it's late.


Late becomes early
as night becomes day.
This dream could go on
forever this way.


This city. It's winding.
The sun rise is blinding.
Time's begun to blend and bend.
When might I be able to meet my end?


Caught Up or Lost?


A child's heart
is innocent,
and curious.


Caught up in this,
field of bliss.


Unaware,
without a scare.


I'll catch you.
I'll catch you.
Still sweet,
we'll meet.


Before the fall,
after it all,
became too tall,
so we couldn't see.

Dear My Love

first the oil dripped out of her mouth.
her eyes dimmed and her hair thinned.
her body went limp, she blended into the crowd.

frost formed on the tip of her nose.
her fingers went numb and her lips felt cold.

life was such a beautiful sight.
a boy blows bubbles and a girl flies her kite.
a kite that flies in a painted sky.

I painted it this time.
with my mind left behind
her heart bled the colors
I used as war paint for mine.

she landed and left with her feet off the ground.
leaving behind an unfamiliar sound.

machinery replaced the warmth I knew.
the gears turned and grinded,
until she was no longer you.
