Well, I called to say I love you
Should've texted you instead.
It seems you're my space is the only way
To get inside your head.
My xanga's chock full up with wishes
Asking Jeeves to make come true,
Typing "dub-ya, dub-ya, dub-ya, dot
I WANNA TALK TO YOU!"
FUCKING A!
AOL!
Teen angst riddled cyber hell!
Is there a tech support
For being bored?
When it's four AM and my girlfriend's still online.
Well it's Friday night and quarter to
And I can hardly wait.
It's taken long as Netscape dial-up
To get you on a date.
I sign on to IM
To hook you up with movie times
Check your away, to
Missing you?
I'm not missing you, per say.
At least not in the way you think I do.
More like I miss the way you could be, should be
But never would be for me,
Cause you would only be for you.
Remembering the mix CDs
I made, I tried to find a voice
Who'd better speak the things I thought of you.
But ain't it funny, all along
"Konstantine" was our song
a wistful ballad the best that we could do.
I wasn't much for emo
But I often could relate
To all the singers and the loving their love lacked.
But I didn't want to drive you
Back with words that fell too hard
So I kept the song, but as a secret track.
Barefoot beauty
River's depth reflected in her face.
I wade to meet her
The current pulls me into her embrace.
The daughter of the earth
And sister to the skies
The girl with the evergreen eyes.
Look to her always
Glowing like a fire in midday light.
Is that the sun caught in her hair,
Or her hair making day so bright?
And just who's warming me
When sun has set and moon has yet to rise?
The girl with evergreen eyes.
Passing seasons roll and take their toll
The colors of the forest fade
But meadows in her eyes
Will always keep me in an emerald shade.
The last leaf falls
And winter call

Martyr meets Dos Equis
Well it's uno, dos Dos Equis
then I try for three and four.
You see the family's gone to bed
and I would hate to stay so bored.
So pour my drug and chug-a-lug
we'll pass around my tinny mug
to me, the I, than myself passed out on the floor.
Fill this silence up with ramblings.
Here's a lifeline, phone a friend.
Phone anyone and everyone
who's still awake, who'll still listen
When I say, "Hey, I've done away
with baby games of yesterday.
I'm just like you. Now won't you come and play again?"
"Come one,
Come all!
Come watch me fall!"
This is a the broken martyr's call

I close my eyes
but silence keeps
me well awake
if there's no noise
then all my thoughts take on a voice.
They talk so loud
I can't be heard,
can't even get a word in edgewise
and if I could, you know they'd prob'ly drown me out.
They'd drown me out
or shoot me down
they'd holler back without a sound
besides, their logic is compelling, i confess.
But I digress

Tell me
Whys being the bigger person
make me feel so small?
it seems that getting through to you
has gotten me nowhere at all
except to every corner of square one
we always end where weve begun:
held fast, inside a box
made up of all the square ones past.
My paradox:
cant live without, cant live within.
Well, watch me live by braking out,
by being never taken in,
by moving on, by stepping off

Magnolias will come no more
Heaven blossoms in the spring
all brightly blooming flowers reign
The birds and butterflies took wing
as I walked down a flowered lane.
Soon I came upon a tree
that I had known in Springs before
and there, arrayed for all to see
magnolias had come once more.
Lovely were the flowers painted
fadeded white and coral hues
the colors soft and pure, untainted
sent by mother earth to soothe.
There beneath the laden tree
I felt my sorrows drift away
The pains and mem'ries haunting me
gave way to hopes of temperate days.
But winter sent a final scorn
filled zephyr where I'd found my peace.
My sweet magnolias

Literature
Insomniac with a cause
Waiting on the line
to hear a line
To put my thoughts at ease
the ticking of a wrist watch
Makes you deaf to all my silent pleas.
Can't you hear above
the roar of minutes passing?
Can't hear the love
in all the things I'm asking?
/I/ can hear the questions loud and clear
they're screaming like a freight train
but in my head, not in your ears.
So maybe I should say it plain:
"So do you want me?
Will you love me?
Not now, but in a year or two.
Just tell me who to be
And I'll be him for you.
Whatever makes you stay
awake with me
than that's the way
I'll faithfully
walk down to get to you."
Leaving gray reality behind
We set a course for brighter seas
And sailed beneath
an everchanging sky.
Just you and I out on the blue,
where all our love served as a crew.
We had no captain, we were monarchs, we were free.
We sailed for us and us alone when we went to the sea.
We /drifted/ aimless o'er the leagues
and let the wild, wan'dring tide
serve as a guide
across a sea that had no age.
The sea birds raged that you and I
so far below could soar so high
above them in a way that no one else could see.
We rose above the clouds themselves when we were on the sea.
The dolphins laughed at how we cried

Is that what I'm supposed to do?
Just risk it all and hurry after you?

I've put my faith in dreams before

Weasel Fred went into town
To buy a splendid evening gown.
He shopped and searched to no avail
For such a gown, with matching veil.
He went to Target, J.C. Pennys,
Kohls and Wal-Mart, Dots and Dennys.
Marshalls, Cache, Annie Sez,
Dollar Stores with discount Pez.
He looked until his eyeballs bled.
How can this be?! shrieked Weasel Fred.
Is there no store with evening wear?
I need pizzazz, pin ash and flare.
If no such gown exists in life
Ill end it all with mine own knife!

Pete liked Sue and Sue liked Pete
Through out the school twas known.
They walked to class, danced in the grass,
Spent evenings on the phone.
Pete grew weary of just friends
And thought Sue thought the same.
She flirts and flirts, and wears short skirts
Around me, was Pete claim.
So Pete wrote notes to good friend Sue
And poems about her hair,
Her lovely face and dainty waist,
And eyes with piercing stare.
Then one night Pete got the sand
To ask Sue to the mall.

wayward walkers stalk the shore
fields and forest, misty moor
over barren mountains climb
seek to see the grand design.
how came they to such a place
scorned by all inhuman race?
why waft they through cave and mine
longing for the grand design?
fancied fame is now forgot.
dreams of glory they have not.
home and hearth they leave behind
searching for the grand design.
stones and insults aimed to kill
flung by fathers. why then still
do sons leave home and undermine
their blood? tis for the grand design.

Wafting through the halls of youth?
Makes the bold man stand as craven
Makes the saint stand as uncouth.

Of a glass of sweet forgets.
Sends you tumbling down the twelve steps
Leaves you nothing but regrets.
Flying down a tube of fire
Sends sweet smoke the fool adores
But this filthy, feathered liar
Fills your ill days with remorse.
See the raven roosting dour
In a lovers tempting stare.

A Declaration of My Dependence
Uncertain Terms
You werent meant to mean this much,
But how could you mean any less?
The simple kiss that caused this mess
Has left me wanting for your touch.
Would that words could find a way
To tell of how my fool heart aches,
The misery my longing makes,
The doldrums in the dreary day.
But even if I had the choice,
Id loath to sacrifice the pain.
In doing so forfeit the gain:
The hallowed healing of your voice
A voice that brought back life to night
For one like me, long robbed of sleep.
My foolish company you keep
Making lonely shadows bright.

Wasted wishes unfulfilled
I cast on stars beyond my reach
As months and madd'ning miles build
A boundry young love cannot breach
Scathing stars scoff at my plea
to hold my distant darling near
while creul Fate makes a fool of me
and dashes dreams of romance dear
Still, against the stars I strive
and forgo fears of flouting Fate
To keep the passion's flame alive
till angst abetted storms abate
For I find myself reborn
In things you say and leave unsaid
from midnight through the early morn
your whispers are my dailey bread.
But mere bread cannot sustain

Stones
A name etched in unfeeling stone
A soul left here to lie alone
A woeful date of sorrow great
All tell of life thats flown
Just one of oer a hundred score
That rest here in this misty moor
So little said of lives once led
And what they settled for
The love they had, the love they lost
The tears they shed as bitter cost
The heart felt fling of early Spring
Before the Winters frost.
None of this does cold stone show
No talk of battles long ago
In darkest night some strove to fight
Against the fated flow.
If able, would the names here tell
Of hallowed heights from which they fell?
Dishonest feats, the d
