Obstruction Seduction

Targeting the eyes of many
I harvest validation
Feeding off a made up sense
Of personal confirmation
I will pick so many lies
A pool of fabrication
Then I'll drown within my prize
Of identity destruction
Floating far away from me
And into integration

Free As a Bee

Dear little bumblebee
I kept you in a jar
Left inside, you'll never grow
Or realize who you are

Holes,I pushed in the lid
Gave glimpses of the show
But there are great, abounding places
That you have yet to know

It's for me, and it's for you
I put this to a stop
Now you'll see so many things
And never reach the top

Ballad of the Battered

The lady sings a smoky song
Of dead beat men, who did her wrong
In mournful tune, she'll tell you soon
That she will not be prey

But I'm familiar with the beat that's heard
The second time it sounds absurd
The bitter chorus, most surely shows us
Girl can't bare to stray

She will sing in grievous tones
All the while, hold to her stones
Yet, the audience waits, and let's her state
That she'll go far away

An Agreeable Goodbye

It dances near, yet far away
A spectator to the world
Painted sun meets rusted lips
As Earth meets light, and curls
From the wreckage of a kiss
Comes amorous clouds of yellow
Hoping to escape today
The desperate star does bellow
A heavy eye, the sun did have
And met the ground in sigh
Praying just to give, for now
An agreeable goodbye

You Can Only Break The Broken

The world will try, with futile stab
To take your courage from you
Smile in the face of drab
And you'll be met with angry jab
Revel in their undo

Sunshine falls on every face
But only some will see
The others live in dark disgrace
And boy they like to share it
The world don't like to set you free
Looks like you'll have to take it

Far Off Ways Fill My Days

Flustered, standing on the edge

I look in desperation

My heart ran many miles here

And pulses for redemption

I stare deep into the void

Dense with disappointment

Feebly, though, I'll keep on waiting

Set on a reaction

When will my life's sunrise come

In form of your affection
