The Last Two Wars

War 1:
I was looking into you
to find me.
I loss that war,
I loss it bad.

War 2:
I was looking into me
to find you.
I won that war,
I won it bad.

Hero of Poem

If I have truly lived a life of my poems
would that make me a better man.

I would be a hypocrite if I told you so,
for I am no hero of poem.

I live within my dreams and the dreams of poets,
my reality is dark and somber.

Each and everyday, I try and I try...
to be a hero of poem.

A Pretty House in Germany

She stood out there in the rain
oh was she beautiful.
A cup of tea warms the heart
the flowers were perfect
and oh was she beautiful.
The grass grows faster
than faith at a church
oh why did she have...
to be so beautiful?
Is this what I've wanted?
A pretty house in Germany
and oh was she beautiful.

Ghost Sutra

Children, children, play on the grounds.
For years will pass and you will feel the bound.
Row your boat down the endless way.
Dreams of dreams covers the grey day.
Conform or die is what we live.
A simple way to lie and give.
They made up stories that they fed.
So play on children you're already dead.
