Black Clouds

Here are the lyrics to a song I've had written for quite awhile. But on a more exciting note, my poem "Stalemate" has been accepted to be published in an up and coming literary magazine here in Lincoln, "The Lincoln Underground." I'm super psyched about it. It's scheduled to be released sometime in January for their winter edition.

I fell asleep with you on my mind

But you were heavier

The thoughts were heavier

Than I’d planned

So I woke up in the morning

With this headache

Its just heartache

Above my neck

I swear your eyes could put me down

You punch me in the chest

Your crystal eyeballs

Predict a future

Where I don’t exist

While your skin

Is inches away

I try to resist

Black clouds

Are in the skies

Bad dreams

Are in my mind

Nobody

Seems to see

The side of me

That doesn’t want to breathe

There’s something moving in the covers

I’m thrashing

Thrashing around

Nightmares

I think I’m alone here in my room

But there are spiders

Spiders crawling

Down my wall

I swear your eyes could put me down

You punch me in the chest

Your crystal eyeballs

Predict a future

Where I don’t exist

While your skin

Is inches away

I try to resist

Black clouds

Are in the skies

Bad dreams

Are in my mind

Nobody

Seems to see

The side of me

That doesn’t want to breathe

LoveSick Symphony

I'm going to begin posting more recent poetry, seeing as I've really been on a roll and accomplishing a lot, which makes me joyous. So here's one that I started on a while ago, but got finished today. Enjoy :)

I met you last night

During a dream filled flight

Vivid and bright

Everything felt right

Sleep found the two of us

In a moment, spontaneous

Revealing years of trust

And feelings, robust

Twas more than an act

For my brain was cracked

Yes it was quite snapped

And so emotion reverted to black

My mind drifted

To the sound of a violin

Found the source

And was shy again

Therefore shifted

My heart’s trickery

To the rise and fall

Of a lovesick symphony

But the notes echoed in my head

Reverberated off walls instead

They bounced and floated like lead

Crushing my chest as I lay in bed

Hungover from dream juice

Neutrons firing so loose

Stalemate-induced truce

Reeling from reality’s noose

Senses dull, though my eyes did dart

In the morning I woke with a start

To find my feelings still in my heart

And us only existing in my art
