i'm just an iceberg, many knots ahead.

out in the open ocean
overtly obscure
out to get you for sure
bound to sink a thousand ships
just before the horizon
and into la belle ideé
let's dance the night away
on the deck under the stars
la belle ideé
idea of you
and what we share
this setting
ideal
complete
your hand in mine
only for a short time.

sorry

everything makes sense
it happened to me
and it's happening to you

i can't keep the dog in the kennel anymore
it's not fair to either party
i care, i do
but just not in the way you want me to.

dishwasher

chew me up and spit me out
too fine a fabric to wrap yourself up into
just yet

111

i need to stop trying
then i wouldn't be let down so often
stay in
stay close

it's raining again
sleep a hundred days
that's what i really want
the most

Moleskin#1

i'm up at 8:37am
with a headache
with a bad feeling
this time it's not the alcohol

i moved to catch your eye
slither side to side
can't even find my feet
between these pulsing walls

i haven't felt this way
in a long long time
hold on
malevolent & sweet
i'll hold my
sliver tongue
today

walking across the bridge at 4am

"i read your star sign before i read my own..."
this make more sense then you might know

i get what i want
and i want what i get
it's not hard when i set
my sights

they just bend to my will
my fingers a conductor
number 7
deny to you
i'm done with making easy

strike a match

cold hands like cold hearts
i'm falling in
even after i've fallen a part
can't hinder what comes
can't read what's in front of me
feel out the patterns
still can't quite get it
then i stop to think for just a moment
it could be easier if i went with the current
...

lips sealed

looking down upon the city
only in a good way
refresh and replenish
as i take a drag
as i take a sip
as i see everything from here
new dawn and new year
