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.

Milk and Cookies

Milk and cookies
are the classics caked on
to the stories unwraveled
during love's long yawn.

And we push on
through the times we write
our sweet summer songs,
and the dead of winter
when love's seemingly long gone.

But milk and cookies
remind us that loves never gone.
It's just a pause we feel, like a brief yawn
in the middle of a story
meant to soothe someone's anger
with all the world's wrongs.

And if the cookie crumbles
during the dip,
you'll find it at the bottom
after a few more sips.

Where The Song Belongs

I need to free the bird
its sweet song went unheard
it tried to sing the melody
now it can't wait for you to leave.

And it'll fly fly away,
might live life someday.
It'll lift me by my heart's strings
carry me while it sings, and swings those wings
with the rythm of reality,
the feeling of fatality.

So break, off
let the bags go drop
and don't bother worrying
about if it'll suddenly stop.

Because balloons all pop
and all diamonds cost a lot.
Some things just won't ever change
so don't get too hot.

But the bird's one word
it got stuck in my head
it said, "if you think bitter, makes better,
i'll tell you something else instead"

"the only truth in life, is that you're blood bleeds red,
anything more than that was purposefully left unsaid"

And if you believe in that,
you'll learn that life was begat
by the brain 'neath the skull cap
worn to cover whereat,
your dreams are all real.
You don't question how you feel
because this state of mind is inanely ideal.

It's where you'll fly fly away,
might live life someday.
It's where you can create,
and be great,
and be left to narrate,
what you want to happen
so you won't become irate.

But the bird's gone mad
beats it's wings so sad.
Because it never really had
what made it more than glad.

It loved flying on the wind
but the walls caved in.
It's got a song to give
but it got trapped within.

But don't fret, or fear,
For it'll fly fly away,
might live life someday.
I'm sure it wont stay,
And it'll all be ok.

Street Smart

I cut the ties, in my mind
drew up the draw bridge
that you used to drive by

You were too scared to cross it
I guess you thought you lost it
just the confidence, 'cause when the pain came
you winced.
You cried in, laughed out.
Out loud, and it seems now
that you're all about
being up, down
and going all around.

Well listen to me now
'cause I could tell you how
this life you live will get worse
if you keep calling without
knowing the voice
on the other line, on the other side
of the very thin line, that you crossed
when you toyed with mine.

I wish that I could say
it won't happen again,
but when I send,
false hopes, I tend to pretend
I feign and I fake. My heart's one mistake
is when it makes me take,
a second look when it creates
that love in my veins,
pumping into my brain,
so I could only the think of one way,
one game to play.
And if I win one day,
I just might say,
I'm sorry for ever having acted this way.
