Keeping Secrets

You've been keeping secrets

When there was no reason to lie

They burn deep inside of you

And you can't find a place to hide

Yes, ive been keeping secrets

And i can't find the reason why

I've been searching deep and wide

And everytime i come up dry

We keep keeping secrets

And these secrets tell it all

We keep keeping secrets...

We must learn to create things that are not real

With the things around us that are.

I find my perfect picture with this viewfinder

And thankfully the thing I create is not the thing I see.

Backwards and Forwards



I can read this poem up and down

Going forwards and backwards.

It's a flow of words,

A single current in a mighty stream.

Upon which I laid myself
And I gave myself to you

Now my eyes burn
And my cheeks turn to red
And I'm washed away with shame

And I remember the bed
Upon which I...

I want to stand in the rain, feel it dripping down my face.

I want to stand on mountain tops and scream out to the world.

I want to leap off buildings and never fall.

I want to fall in love without ever falling out.

I want to jump from a plane, so that i can feel the weightlessness.

I want to stand on a...

Dance on child, among the clouds

Or maybe in the tulips and the daffodils,

Or in a mountain stream, quiet and serene.

Sing on child, strong and loud

In the country with the birds or in the street in front of crowds.

Laugh on child, even when you're sad

With you'r friends or even when you're mad.

Love on child, all your life

To those...

An epiphany is only a sad realization...

Of something that you unfortunantely did not realize sooner.

I do not know what I feel today. I was happy this morning and most of the afternoon. Until I realized, sitting at home, that I am not happy. Not today atleast.

Is it odd, that I can be living the life that i've always wanted, but half the...
