In the Company of Silence1. I ask the open window Whether I am true Or false, As if I were as easily solved As flipping a coin.In the Company of Silence
No answer.
Bit I need answers, And noise, I want the air to reverberate And glisten with sounds; Sharp and Biting and Jarring and Cruel and Seething and For a moment raking Against my eyes and lips.
I need answers, Because I'm sometimes bright And sometimes dark, And I don't know How to separate myself From my own shadow;
Or if I should.

One Dose of Elation, PleaseUntroubled in the deep, Our sorrows wafting by; We laugh instead of weep.One Dose of Elation, Please
Let little white lies sleep, And secrets safely hide Untroubled in the deep.
No winter, hid beneath, No tears to frost the eyes; We laugh instead of weep.
And not a whisper speaks Of hurt or aching pride; Untroubled in the deep.
Pills bottled nice and neat, No longer forced to cry- We laugh instead of weep.
And we smile, dance, and leap, And casually lie Untroubled in the deep; We laugh instead of weep.

A young boy once visited here And stared wide-eyed at the passerby; But age and knowledge have their tolls, And the world just drifts on by.
I'm etched into the shadow of the trees; I lie where immortal dreams lie, Wrapping them around me like blankets And the world

SunsetWhen the sun flared red and hid away, I was left restless in the night; I gaped at the sky in my open grief, In the absence of that light; But the dark was undeterred, Where it towered in the night.Sunset
I found, then, I was an acolyte of the sun, I was restless in the night; It had etched itself upon my face Each time I had squinted in noontimes bright, And left my skin a honeyed brown, Where once I was lamb-fur white; A branding of my daily servitude, Lest I lose myself in the womb of night.
In that laughing dark I became a nomad, I wandered r

Welcome the NightFading to twilight ushers in the night as fireflies glow and fade, reminding me of the beacons of distant towers during evening drives.Welcome the Night
The scent is sweet, speaking of hidden rain, drifting on the breeze, cool and pure, as if it were untouchable, not uttering a whisper.
Lull the senses of the day, calm the spirit amidst a symphony of crickets, leading the mind to a tranquil resting place.
Welcome the night.

In the EventCan't you understand you're not the first? You can't own faces and colors and words And even if you did, does that make you the best? Does that make you the king of the God damn world? What are you doing? Who are you helping? Don't you think there's someone but you who needs assisting? What do people do for you? Are they these little playthings for you to use? Believe me, I'm trying but I can't seem to get throughIn the Event
I bet you feel so damn achieved Every time you look at people like me Because we're ten cents short of the dollar you have So we have to be lower t
