Riffing and Rhyming

I’m creatively exhausted, but too proud to force it
I just wish I had control of the flow from this faucet
I know I haven’t lost it, but where’s the cohesion?
The strings to connect it, the rhymes and the reasons
But I really don’t need them if I go with this mindset
A little bit of this and that, [...]

Facing This

Facing This (4/16/2008)
Is there a way to approach this so we can say that we have closed this?
In case you haven’t noticed, I feel afraid to even broach this
I hate to feel this hopeless and helpless with loss of focus
And I pray these simple words will perform their hocus pocus
Cause I wonder if you know [...]

Scared of Hope

Scared of Hope (4/10/2008)
It’s really been a bit since I’ve put logic in this nonsense
With mind control to prop this, no emotions there to block this
Just talking while I’m conscious and completely in control of it
Not letting my frustration completely get a hold of it
But really, there’s the whole of it that tends to mix [...]

Me and Girlfriend

Me and Girlfriend (4/3/2008)
We broke a few rules because we love to bend them
Our intentions were pure so one day we will mend them
But the words that we send them are the truest and earnest
We can leave them here speechless, we’ll be leaving them wordless
Cause I’m needing these verses like I’ve needed this purpose
My girlfriend [...]

Unwanted Guest

Unwanted Guest (4/1/2008)
Why is it you won’t let me just enjoy this heart’s compassion?
Instead you retaliate by resurrecting what has happened
Cause every single action that you make me over analyze
Is a creation of frustration and I hate the way you fantasize
Looking through these damning eyes, expecting hurt and bleeding
Filling me with anguish when it’s peace [...]

The Ways

The Ways (3/27/2008)
I sit alone in this room and I wish that you were here
I would hold you so close and wipe away our fears
We would never shed a tear that wasn’t out of joy
If you could be here, the girl that makes this boy
Cause your face replaced the void that I could never fill
The [...]

Twelve and Twelve

Twelve and Twelve (3/22/2008)
[christopher]
I’m laying by your side and I couldn’t be much better
Everything has come together and I hope it lasts forever
Cause every tie’s been severed to the past that I once held
You picked me up a thousand times every time I fell
And everything’s gone well and everything’s so perfect
The struggle that we went [...]

Breaths That Leave

Breaths that Leave (3/18/2008)
Every time I see your smile it can take every breath away
Like the air in my lungs decided to leave me and left today
I’m speechless, what’s left to say? I’m amazed by your beauty
The image of this love that can fill me and soothe me
And it’s truly a blessing when I’m unable [...]

Hett Avenue

Hett Avenue (4/15/2008)
On the corner of Hett is where I gaze into her eyes
Escaping from the time, she makes me feel alive
She takes me by surprise with every single smile
I hate to say goodbye, I just want to change the dial
Cause I want to stay a while, if a while is forever
We’re facing every trial, [...]

Infected

Infected (3/13/2007)
I have kept control of this violence inside of me
It hides in me as it waits for the vibe to be
It waits for my eyes to see the anger in odyssey
The infrequent occurrence, some would say it’s an oddity
But now it’s on top of me, the blinding red of the fury
A transformation ensues, I’ll [...]
