Dreams and Reality

Empty thoughts and hollow words make their way through my head
Idleness that tries desperately to stave off the night
Resisting the earthly temptation to climb alone again into a bed
Subsisting on ideas and dreams of a naive man's plight
World weary and exhausted in mind, body and soul
Bags collecting under my eyes like they have somewhere to be
Travelling off to distant realms that are yet unseen
Slipping past physical bonds remains the key
The last trial between the physical and the fantastical
An effort to become something ethereal if only for a time
The ephemeral effigy of all that's possibly possible
But the journey eventually ends as all do
A tragic fall back down to the reality of man
And soon it all fades away, the trials that have been passed through
Endless cycles begin again, just have to do what you can.

Void

Everyone has a desire to be heard, a desire to be recognized

A dream full of naivety, trapped inside those with stars in their eyes

To somehow break through the surrounding noise 

To reach out and grab hold of something in the void

An innate will that refuses being relegated to silence

A push back against the waves of violence

Everyone has a desire to tear down their artificial walls

And create a ripple so large it reverberates the halls

Raging against the machinations of the world at large

Gnashing and clawing at those in charge

It's not a revolution or coup d'etat

It's the next evolution of the human coup de grâce

The never ending spiritual renaissance  

That echoes on in a shallow ambiance

Moving with the ebb and flow of those employed

In the effort to make something out of the void

Comfortable

I want a love like a comfortable silence
The moment so still I can hear the movement of eyelids
Fluttering shut in a slow and steady manner
Where emotions hang in between like a banner
A wordless type of love that doesn't need expression
One that remains forever present like a silent confession
Entrapping each body in the ethereal nature of the universe
Bubbling up inside until it's necessary to disperse
To scatter the thoughts buried in the heart
A desperate attempt to pour it out before it falls apart
Before the silence is over and the moment ends
Melting back leaving words to try and contend
To match up to the conversation had without word
Like trying without a net to catch a bird
Something that can permeate the void between bodies
And create a intangible type of remedy
That heals from all the cuts and bruises
Something to push back the normal excuses
Between people creating a sense of balance
I want a love like a comfortable silence.
