Oranges by the Day Full or the Orange Square or From Florida to Toronto or Life via Sunset

Out there the world goes on without me
The sky melts from blue to orange to pink to black each night and into reverse order in the morning
No one cares about what's hidden behind every door
Every door that is every person.
No one cares about the things that they cannot see
There is so much of everything right in front of our faces
That we cannot be bothered with.

I've seen so many things I don't care for as well
I never play that patron saint shit that's faker than a pair of porn star titties
I know what's going down when I'm hiding away in my room typing these words.
I know.
I've always known.

There's an orange square above my head and
I know that it's the sun setting on my wall.
It's there almost everyday and when it's not
It's the blue hue of the winter and fall that embraces my room from ceiling to floor.

The big bright patch reminds me that while I'm in here writing
There are others out there writing
Watching the sun set on another questionable day
Filled with untamed skies and questionable people.

I feel alright.

To Live In Hope

To live in hope is dangerous. It makes you dream of a better life. It takes your mind away from the present. It sets unachievable ambitions. It breaks your heart from time to time. But I need hope.

If not...

What I want and need most in this life is something that stays. Something that I can always look back into. Go back into when everything else go on their own way and disappears. People change.

Orchid

I like to walk. I get a great deal of thinking done when I'm on my own and surrounded by empty fields or darkened by tree shadows in high summer.

If I Could

If I could have more I would, If I could save it I would, If I could stop it I would, If I could fast forward it I would, If I could rewind it I would not.

The Night

Looking into the sky, I unwind. The hues of purple, blue, black, and occasionally yellow silence my hazel eyes.

Fallen

Asking what he's meant to do, When the truth's just another path to choose, 'Cause he's fallen to my knees here, And he has everything to lose. We shouldn't be trapped in lies.

A Cup Of Tea

Give me a cup of tea. A tablespoon of honey. Put in the music way too loud. I'd say sorry, but in too proud. Read and read to take me away, Write because I have words to say.
