Up in the air

down in the sea,
careless and free,
humming your symphony..

wobbling in the sky
break-free to try
and yet scattered within me

flattened to the ground,

oblivious to any sound

swirling round and round

and waiting in the

holding up in shade

wiring up in maze

circling in haze,
puzzled to hide or chase,
living upto a gaze

city of dreams and dreams unto me
joy of hope
and the ruin of destiny

kill me but give me hope that
what I see will be
and I will be me
and you..
you'll belong to me

midst of the day,

amidst all of the things keeping away
make two reasons that will make you play

come fly away

and drown in the spires
that you built one day
and in the depths
you'll find the threads that char
were burning from afar

blue in the sky,
that's black to the sight
turn back away
while not demented my might
and one day, you'll see colors new
somewhere within, all of you...

Chiaroscuro

I'm holding the shades until darkness falls
the light outside is too bright to let reality stroll
Too tender still to dream

I'd take it you don't feel that way,
but then again we can never ignore
what we just couldn't say...

Bring it out, the reasons for despair,
will you take me if you aren't there?
How'll you hold if you lose your might
and why the echo of despites...?

Strange hold, this mutiny of despondency allures
the caricature of reassurance fading fast,
who's the winner in the race to submerge in ruck?

Denial denial, who's won the trial,
and how've kept emotions at bay?
Throbbing more and more to decimate the demons,
but no angels out to play

Cut to the chase, where is our resting place?
Why is it seeming
like I'm losing the blot that was just my space?

What happens if we don't live today,
tomorrow will will bear the same blue
Hollow insanity in a circus-town
waiting for a joke that draws a smile
on the nip/tuck faces that no longer emote

The faded brightness will merge with darkness one day
the differences blended logics ended,
will we in our own destiny have no say...

tethered to dry in this balming summer
reflecting shades of the bygone
holding to shapes, holding to dawn...

and similarities challenged true
from where I started to what I've become
I've landed myself a different hue,
a different me, a different you...

Dark

Blend me in where there's a heart
I want to feel an emotion,
devoid of the cold,
living in two-fold

Are you proud of this make believe?
Hanging in purpose to be a need...
Flesh on my skin is beginning to wry,
Hold me in till the bleeding is dry

Sink into the silence and you'll hear
the voices that no longer speak
were the ones that brought out tears

Soothing even in the despair of those cries
there was a hope intermittent in those eyes
making me see the truth in all of the lies...
letting me run free without alibis

What do you believe in?
Where do you take flyby's
you can rake in the moolah,
but you can rattle in lullaby's

run now, run to the darker shades
take what you can get,
and we'll make it to our dawn

who can say that's not to belong...
