Veil of Light

I know that they love when they look above at you against the deep black.
You know they forget that you ever met when they wake up in the rack.
I can see you glow more than they could know, shining in the bright daylight.
Against skies so blue, none else gaze at you like I each dawn after night.

Guilty Pleasure

I know that soon I’ll find us together on romantic nights.
I know that my own mind is full of insects and parasites.
I swear I’m not maligned; I always have nobility in my sights.
If I cared for you just a bit, I would surely never show.
But to myself I must admit that it’s you that I will owe,
Because I lack the benefit of being someone that you could know.
When I cannot reciprocate the stillness that you’ll provide
The sunshine and earthquakes I create will nearly always coincide
And any castle that we create is just another victim of the tide.
I must be so very self-serving to knowingly hurt you and not refrain.
I am constantly observing myself apologize to you in my brain.
Therefore I’m most undeserving of what we both wish to obtain.

White Stallion / Pale Horse

You think you know me very well
I can see your admiration
Everyone else can tell
You think I have not a flaw
But reality’s not perception
There’s what you never saw
You’ve know me since our youth
Through triumph and rejection
Now hear the dormant truth
Your picture of me is an unflawed you
Unconscious self projection
I’m not who you thought you know
Your eyes have not completely lied
You’re created a work of art
This sculpture is inside
You must strip away the clay
That covers your growing heart
And, your true self, display

No Aswers

Smart men to not know.
They do not have the answers.
But they can find them.

Impractical Joker

Hay old man, you’re leading them all.
Your words so indestructible that can’t fall.
They’ll follow where you lead them,
Whether you will save or condemn.
Your stature stands strong and tall.

Hay old man, you said my speech is absurd,
All because I’m able to use a ‘big’ word.
It’s so easy for you deceive
Because what you say, they believe.
You’re laughing and pointing at this nerd.

Hey old man, you sneak up on me in bed.
You try to take clippers and shave my head.
You could tame you inner wild
And not be such a whinny child.
But why don’t you act like you’re ten instead.

Hay old man, you’re acting unprofessional.
In the work place it’s unacceptable.
I wish I could find you a cure
For being so immature,
But there’s no cure for disrespectful.
