Ruled by Logic

Sometimes I feel my voice is radio static to your ears
it's nonsense garbled within the wind
my words are thoughtless and tossed to and  fro
my purpose still unknown
I`m a carbon based lifeform ruled by logic, seeking perfect, and finding faults
I`m a dreamer needing reasons but finding dead ends...
and when I sort it out I might just be an echo on the wind
A problem never solved, riddle that was hard and an investigation of the heart
I will fill the silence with letters and speak in complicated terms
so these thoughtless words will die on my tongue in the air
When I figure it all out I will be invincible and free
and not chained to logical conclusions or meanings boxed and labeled
I will be like the bird who takes flight not needing to understand why it is that it can fly

Dark Blue Light

"Blue Light Spring"

you were starlight, you were snowflakes
you were blossoms and blue eyes and earthquakes
you were blue lights drowning out the red that took my hope
you were a dancer and a dreamer and a newborn make-believer
and hope born upon the sun bursting into Spring
And every moment after was a magical journey
Dancing through the daylight like a dream
You drowned out almost everything
you were music, you were melodies
you were glitter and sparkles and daydreams
you were blue lights drowning out the red that took my hope
you were a dancer and a dreamer and a newborn make-believer
and somehow through it all you were like Spring

"It Was Dark"

And it was dark, so very dark
and clouded inside my eyes
There wasn't but a pinprick
and that light was sure to die
I was wrestling in the corners
for forgiveness that ran away
trying to grab a hold of something
so I could remember the way
The way to let go
the way to move on
the way to breathe
But I was faltering...
And it was dark inside the car
and lights were in my eyes
And you let me speak it all out
I had never even tried
I'd been battling the cobwebs
trying to run the other way
But you had me lay it all out
Not knowing what I'd say
And I finally let go
and I moved on
and I could actually breathe
I'm so very grateful
So very thankful
For that gift that you gave me
No matter what may happen
What life may bring
I am lighter and better and happier you see
For it was dark, so very dark
But you helped me come back...
...back to me.

Wake Me tomorrow in Paradise

"Dream-maker"

It's late and I'm awake, oh Mr. Dream-maker

Take the silt and sand from my eyes

And take me to your world of paradise

It's 2 a.m. and I can't sleep, my Dream-maker

Take the ash and soot from my bed

Take me wear you lay your head

I wanna sleep by you

Wanna wake in my dreams with you

Wanna spend the night beside you

and wake tomorrow there with you

Wake, wake, wake me when we leave

Take, take, take me when I sleep

It's passed 2 in the morning Dream-maker

Take the dust and cobwebs from the night

And wake me when the world is sunny bright

It's far too late and I'm here my Dream-maker

Take the air and scent it with happiness

I want to see your world and decompress

I wanna sleep by you

Wanna wake in my dreams with you

Wanna spend the night beside you

and wake tomorrow there with you

Won't you wake, wake, wake me when we leave?

Take me there, take me when we sleep

Let's just together close our eyes

Wake me tomorrow in paradise

Hello Mr. Dream-maker come lay beside me

Wake, wake, wake me when leave

Take, take, take me with you please

A Sad Poem: "Little Boy"

"Little Boy"

Little boy who dances

not the drummer from the song

This one stands tall, head high, all wrong

He never got a chance

Little boy who answers

pleads a favor of the strong

but this one fails, and breaks, all wrong

She never had the answer

It's a tragedy

But who's to blame

The dream giver or dreamer

or the one who ran away?

Little boy who reaches

not so young this time around

asks for nothing but the impossible ground

to carry her feet

Little boy who understood

all the pain and the let downs

knowing the miles of ground

would never make her bleed

It's a tragedy

But who's to blame

The dream giver or dreamer

or the one who ran away?

Her failing and breaking make it all wrong

And who can cross the distance

To save a boy without a chance?

It's a tragedy

But who's to blame

The dream giver or dreamer

or the one who ran away?

or the one who ran away?

Little boy who dances

not the drummer from the song

This one stands tall, head high, all wrong

He never got a chance

Little boy who answers

pleads a favor of the strong

but this one fails, and breaks, all wrong

She never had the answer

Only the dreamer

She was only the dreamer

Such a tragedy

And who's to blame?

The dream giver or the one

the one who ran away?
