Human Condition

Tears are dropping in my mind
This plastic smile is all you see
Digital images of a love once had
And then you tempt me with eternity

Forgotten moments play again
Reversing all I thought I knew
Expanding and contracting, never ending
A universe alive inside of you

Evolution is born again
It all began with you and him
Evolution is born again

A faded traveler stumbles home
He knows he's been there once before
All that is familiar is never the same
How many times had he walked through that door?

Timeless mortality ends with a beginning
Recycling memories yet to unfold
A life will end in the instant it began
The cycle completes a story not told

Evolution is born again
It all began with you and him
Evolution is born again

Time to turn the hourglass
The sands are nearing the end
So close to completing destiny
All that was gained must be lost again
Lost again

My Birthright

Teardrops misting gently upon my cheek As I often wonder why I wander away From what I know and all that I trust And find solace in this game of wordplay Slowly diverging from who I once was Some part of my old self surely remains People will go but more will arrive No part of tomorrow will ever be the same Eraser in hand, I try to clean the slate History has been written in permanent ink A deafening scream sheers through my head As I painfully realize nothing is in sync A treacherous idea is etched in my thoughts No erase and rewind button is in clear sight Restless energy takes on a life of its own This constant insanity must be my birthright Fighting to stay in control of my thoughts Grasping onto some semblance of this reality Forging an alliance with my imagination I have to wonder about my fleeting mentality But then I struggle to remember something Oh yea, I've been here many times before Another moment has passed through my life Challenging me again to a game of bi-polar

Windows

Windows open like little minds Absorbing all that passes by Like conversations overheard But keeping safe, what's inside Wonderous secrets lurk within The windows show only a glimpse Of the world beyond the darkened glass This ever cycling mental eclipse Haunted memories dance beneath The crumbling exterior of my mind Like a window shut to the world outside One blurry memory is now defined Paths to destiny lead those that follow Patterns are repeated as always before A step once taken will become dejavue The shattering glass is somehow the cure

Passion's Polarity

Image
The love I once felt is changed forever Destroyed by words of anger and pain Like fire and ice, we were passion's polarity Calmed into a lull by the night's gentle rain Bittersweet are my memories of you Leaving scattered footprints in my mind Our time together was beyond compare Yet somehow... it was angry words we left behind How did we get here, you and I? At what point did we cross the line? Coming together was inevitable for us Why couldn't we stop the crash in time? Despite everything, you'll not be forgotten I miss your smile, your voice, your sensual touch I miss gazing longingly into your gentle eyes Perhaps it matters not but I'll miss you so much
