battery

my battery drains when i’m around you

using me up tried and true

if you charge me up at the end of the night

you can come see me again, with the morning light

i’ve got my highs 

my low lows too

you make me conserve

last the whole day through

i’ll help you with any task

that comes to mind

traverse through the city

with our forces combined

we can share moments

until we live for the night

as the stars come out and play

go the undiscovered way

so just take me home

plug me in

it’s like i said

we can do it again

when i’m around you

my battery drains

so charge me up

electricity in my veins

see me again

with the morning light

departure

i dont want to tell you what to do
i just think things could be better
if you change your mind
if you look me up
if you gave up on those
stupid hopes and dreams

maybe one day when you wake up
just to realize that it was right
past mistakes of love
past regrets of life
let it sink it
let there be some modesty inside of you

but if you cant change who you are
going forward with this in mind
take your hands away
throw them in to something true
never was one to stick to it
well i was told to keep quiet too

and if we fail to recoginize
truths, lies and reprecussions
wont you just put your arms down
fighting never was our thing
let our lips be kept shut
we can guve ourselves up

origin

adherence to the border you established,
safe in the confines of the walls around,
concrete and still built up as defence,
for the city where nothing happens – to the ignorant.

disappearance in the wilderness,
nature acts as a museum,
a testament to the untouched,
to the innocence we longed for.

urban development in a rural scene,
exports that import,
the next big thing,
closer to you, to me.

when the oxygen goes,
the carbon will suffocate,
our eyes will gloss over,
the sky turns grey – the mountain lives, looking onward.

cool off

catch a breath
let your lungs expand
exhale
feel the wind
rustle hair
toss over
mind race
tough decisions
bad moves
learning curves
constant mistakes
fluid motions
caveat beginning
dreaded ends
terrible lies
tragic mistakes
stomach pains
heart beats
sweaty palms
bright lights

stop

catch a breath
let your lungs expand
exhale

slander – pt i

“you don’t fear it, do you?”

“what’s that?”

“why that you might one day befall the same fate,” she said her hands trembling letting a short breath out. “i don’t believe you would want to share in that type of demise.”

“can’t say i do,” i looked her over, “however, it beats the alternative.” i smirked at her ever so quickly before turning my back on her again as my teeth gleaned out of my whip mouth.

“you’re always so foolish, with words that follow themselves out the door.”

i felt her turn away from me, knowing i was having my jest with her. she walked over to my desk and begin to draw her fingers through my paperwork.

“i don’t recall hiring you as my new secretary, though i’m sure i could find a position for you around this place.” I walked over and slid my hand over hers and followed through to the papers she was eyeing, and put them out of sight.

“what idiot would work for you?” a grin arose on her face.

“oh, can’t say i could describe the person with the type of mentality that would.” I sat up on my desk stretching my arms as i looked out over the city scape that framed my window. “though some have – and with less stamina then you contain angel.”

“well, i can’t spend all day standing around with you – wasting the hours of the day talking of nothing.” she gathered her coat and belongs and made a move to exit the room. “i’ll send word for when we should meet again?”

“that sound’s just right angel, just right. now don’t forget what we discussed. keep quiet of this incident until i can gather the word. we don’t need any hassle from the uniforms down the road. can you do that for me angel?” i titled my head to the side with a half witted grin on my face.

“of course – such a simple task is not nearly enough to discourage me. good day.” she opened and closed my office door quietly and delicately and heard her speaking with tammie outside before leaving the building.

“i just hope i can keep that mouth of yours breathing before tomorrow has come and gone.”
