At the fireplace you kneel
Watching the pearl smoke
Possessions burned
That you covet so..
How were us boys supposed to know
Until dreamers dive from upstairs windows
As the whales stream past
Your fingers drag on their backs
Retinas cling to the smokestacks
In the lonely backseat of taxi cabs
We paint our clothes on the football field
In the eerie morning light you’ll wake...
The Quiet Siren
Dear twilight. Please dance on our skylights,
Clear arabesque’s shine,
As the deafening snow chimes, Fingers rake back and forth, Across your aching bones.
In the end I’m left,
Happy and whole.
You painted,
“My New Horizon”
By a Quiet Siren.
Oh moonlight.. Soak our sheets till the daylight,
I see your fuchsia outline,
Through the ghost-buss’s windows,

THE FOLLOWING IS MY BACK CATALOG OF SOME OF MY POETRY OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS. Some of which have become songs for my acoustic project Nobodys Moon
ENJOY
"You be the paper waves, ok?"
Cold eyelids penetrated
By traffics black exhaust
Sunlight’s been perforated
By the winters shameful frost
And I wont move a muscle
Till things start looking bright
Dreaming on the couch again
Through stormy clouds my head will spy
I don’t want to die,
No, I don’t want to die
I don’t want to die…
On New Years Eve.
And I’ll rip apart the pillows
The...
L'étés(Summers)
You make the seasons change
As you shimmer through my mind
Sunshine will spin the threads
Of our paths, I hope we’ll wind
You lay in knee deep water
And on my air I’ll choke
Lucks eyelids flutter slightly
The moment, takes me home
And these
Seeds
Oh what
I wish
They’d sew
And trees Might
Fly
And though this storm is strong
You’ll knock the wind
Clear from its throat
...
In Light Of The Nuclear Winter..
We took the November sky,
Spread it out on the ground
A sudden change of contrast
The city’s drunk and blacked out
And we will eat our words
We picnic on the stars
As ants quickly converge
We watch the falling shadow from afar
This is the last time
We dive through rings of flame
Break loose while were young
From the webs we both spun
We may lose hearts and lungs
But we laugh...
The Day The Wolves Met..
Storm clouds tore across bright red rocks
Blowing away footprints of people long gone
A Grey wolf with no pack
Sniffed at the tracks
The scent of old lovers that now stuck in the cracks
The winds screamed a battle cry with a dark tangled smile
And the trees all trembled right where they stood
And though the roots stayed firm
A lesson they’d learn
About gripping too strong to something...
5 Haikus For The Luna, The Lover And The Lonely...
You want to give up?
For my wings just need to dry
Looks like rain again
No one is watching
Everyone knows what we are
Even with city lights
No starting over
The bookmarks in me again
Pick me up and read
Very tough to say
Does the ocean still need waves
When the moon explodes
Youre all that i need
No bigger and better things
Just bring me flowers
Banjos In The Sprinklers
We’re hours deep in the vodka sunshine
And the fingers slam on frets in such great lagging time
And the back of my mind
Feels sick and confined
But as I still have no spine, all my mouth can do is keep on smiling
May I ask you miss figment of love in my head
Did that pill just off me just like the song said?
After all the time that we spent
Did you leave for a junkie?
And are you...
Spidermums
Rain shows no sign of stopping
And I guess I might stay in
But my voice is slightly rotten
To be singing for a friend But Im getting dressed for no one
Cuz I know your out again
And your headlights light the pavement
In my mind it plays again The lights are flashing in the water
As I soaked that moment in
And Im floating at an angle
Just to reach for your right hand I wont lie Im getting...
Traintrack Confessions And 8Track Obsessions
The sun seemed much brighter the days before,
And I wish there was a better way to compete,
But while I was lost
In your lips, my thoughts
Deeply fell downwards towards my feet,
The candles twitch lightly before my face.
I sit on my window,
My deep exhales chase,
How everyone sang,
And my true feelings came,
My god Is this how real feelings taste,
I feel shamelessly strapped to the...
Plural Secrets on the Whitest Day in April
Then you picked me up drunk A black car door slammed Real life’s in the trunk And you had this planned? Wandering light Hide our spotlights Your eyes move, so slow Drunken lungs reek In a losing streak Did it somehow, tame you? Your why im feeling low Our skins feel so much softer Under this moon Let me sing real slow I know it all feels right Expecting to kiss you And im through with going slow...
And Swimmers Under The Pier
We trudged west to the pier To kill time with the view In a seaside town Where no one’s around Just you, me and the blue You stare off on the dock Your hair in the wind The seagulls sing wet tones “Let’s just dive in” You say with a grin And our bodies will plunge like stones We dive off the railing and fly Hit the water and sink down deep In the navy blue Where the light...
When The Night Goes Straight Downhill
When the night goes straight downhill
what to do or what to say
i had so many optionsthat suddenly turned gray and now the song makes sense
and i wonder if its gratifying
to live within a love songthats oh so death defying
So my stomach feels so warm
is it the whiskey or the cold
i used that winning charm
but i guess its getting old
cuz now the song makes senseand i wonder if she kept...
What If Spiders Had Wings???
With no law
And id give it awhile
Wele be teething like a reckless child
With sundown
And Im tearing around
A pack of smokes and a ripped off jaw
Thoughts suppressed
but the feelings aloud
you are the one
who gunned me down
Im pinned down
and were rolling around
A shifty glance
and a crooked smile
Kissing passions fists
Did you ever really care about me?
But its tempting to read...
The Great 16th Street Champagne Heist
Taste mornings spit
Thoughtful light frozen air
That heart winning smile
that stripped me so bare
You know that its done
wave goodbye to the rain
I sat on a ledge and
back to coma again.
Theyl never breath the same air
as the one who stole your heart
Theyl make the gestures, theyl say the words
but theyl still be held apart
So lets just eat the sunrise
and forget that it came
and...
Playing Games With Blonde Planes
Steal what
you dont need
you dont want
and its out the window once again
I couldnt handle
feeling your hands
reaching out
and your
lips just wrap around
just like i was your prey
quick take
deep breath
fake
reasons
lose
my winnings
trade for new
begginings
with me
you just
might school
what i knew
about love and its plurals reach
this supervillian
wants his
better half...
Sharks In My Bed
we lay under the red light
we lie to keep ourselves safe
its a blue light sale on your heart
but id rather steal it anyway
Fake a laugh of something said
just to pass the time
you bit me so hard i think i bled
but that wasnt considered a whine
we wake to sunrise just like you said
but to tell you i slept is a lie
for that morning to come i wouldve rather been dead
i lay there content...
All The Blue Shirts At My Door
Glowing lanes and highway lights
take an empty breath and just glide
the morning sky burns, lets take turns
cuz this is the worst taste of your life
il run fast but no where near
the fate i thought i was meant for
the forest so bare but sleep was so fair
where is my new frontier
take a drive lets go downtown
the buildings eyes have seen so much
of all iv lost and all that im not
i carry...
Torsos and Butterflies
And we all know
The texture of your skin on snow
and we all remember
what love looks like when it goes
so we could take
a trip to where the sun don’t shine
or we could make
a face like we wouldn’t mind
but when you get back
will you still be calm
when i get my heart back
will you take me home
will the sound of a guitar
finally melt the ice
that has stuck on you this far
