freedom's just another word for...

a wrinkle in time
finds me standing
between
what you thought you knew
and what i know is true

do you feel different now that...
you know?

and i know
and he knows i know
and so do we

has the truth set me free?

(believe)

you will never know how important you are, to me. you will never know the impact you've had on my life. you will never know the significance you play. every day. thank you so much for all you have done to make me, me.

(believe)

you never cease to amaze me.

ps. your soul's not done yet.

the off days

this revolving door
keeps spinning
i push
heavy on the date
that turns the on days
off.
you scoff
at my reflection
not to mention
the attention
we are opposites
at odds
cross wedges
as we turn
at equal pace
a constant race
without a win
yet still we spin.

three days
the sun shines in
watch through glass
too quickly pass

its dark inside
the off days.

searching for ways
to kill this curse;
just makes things worse.

quest

i am in your eyes
you see
i cant change
the way you look at me.
you play by the book and
follow rules;
i'll search for clues
and pay my dues
with elves...
and sorcerers...
and harlots.

keep connecting dots
pour more shots -
a grand slam breakfast
on a mushroom cloud
a serious explosion
welcome to the next level.

black velvet sweeps the floor
as we dance
(apart)
how do we do this two step?
tango?
twelve step?
shotgun!
i shall ask the oracle...

i remember to not go back
to the places ive already been
i have already found what im looking for
there
i just didnt know why.

keep collecting thoughts
and items in my satchel.
the four cheeses lead me
to the cold metal chest.
i find water
and drink.

continue the quest.
chase the dragon.
capture the wizard.
music is my goddess given power...
this is what i draw

i know i will beat this game.

archers

i give up
you give back
shoot arrows at my heart
attack me
when im down
grinding thoughts until im grounded
nothing matters of the heart
i press stop
you push start
you dont see me
but im here
confusion leads to something clear.
pluck arrows; take aim
both at fault with nobody to blame.
a final shot at fate complete.
done deal.
fait accomplit.

im sorry i missed you.
