fall

falling, drowning
downward spiral once again
knock on wood
cuz here it is my friend

we live in circles
i say in spite
do it again?
well i just might

change the game
do something different
find your prose
right this instant

you need no rhymes
you need no flow
just a jumble of words
sway to and fro
please don't let me
lose control

A friend to me

close my eyes
imagine the past
and what once was
as time flies
how quick it has
disguised by the drugs

skip a line
kick a beat
lose what you just wrote
grow up fine
don't feel weak
hang your wet coat

it's as simple as that
i say it every time
listen to me please
i stated a fact
with reason and rhyme
heard only by the trees

you're an animal
one of the jungle
who are you to judge?
"im not a fan of them"
you moan and grumble
"I will not budge"

still all is well
i know its tough
you've no other outlet
since i fell
ive taken up
this as my challenge

you need a friend
and i do too
learn each others side
ill be here in the end
giving you
trust to confide

try to talk

try to speak
though your mouth does not move
choose the words
you feel you should use
say your piece
but still be unheard
you have said nothing
if memory serves
to interest or intrigue
the minds of the masses
uniform status
learned from the classes
you say your words
but what do they mean
you don't know
youre not as smart as you seem

transatlantic

transatlantic continental
fly into Europe
come back
nothing changes
people see you
they say hello
it feels now
like were complete strangers

how strange for me
to come and go
as wild as i please
"we talk of what
he has not done
instead of what he sees"

collect the knowledge
but do not share
its mine, not yours
to keep
but smile nice
and ill try to find
the knowledge that
you seek

i know now
people teach themselves
just be there to inspire
unhinge
take down if you can
your inner desire
to teach
and share
what they
don't want to hear

"you don't expect
your tv to respond
so why should reality
you live through
your favorite star
try to be them disparagingly"

"im better than you
the protagonist, if you will
i win in the end
so don't bank on you to.
if you think you're top dog
then sir, you are beat
im the main baddass
ill bring the heat"

nonsensical banter
you dumbfounded nave
i with my brain
will have my life saved

muse, why?

inspired by random thoughts
drifting through my mind
as abstract as i can
looking at the words i find

who are you
so long in the face
in a town so grey
such a slow pace
where will you go
in a year or so
give your time to nothing
dedicate it to your fling
cuz when you hear her sing
we all just fly away

so bounce back
jump forward
leap from side to side
now you're somewhere new
boogie it up
loosen out
smile cuz you can
and act a fool
stare at the screen and drool
don't be the tool
you know you can be
because with me
you see
you'll always be free


inspired by random thoughts
drifting through my mind
as abstract as i can
looking at the words i find

my muse will laugh

as my typing goes on

read every word

until the story is done

ages ago....

the past and future
they meld together
taking what seems like forever
i guess its called the present

just as you get to know the world
it begins to change
quick! learn to adapt
make it through the strain
fight the power
down the mainstream
sucked in by delusions
and big pipe dreams
of becoming famous
and being special
you're a snowflake
so whatever

you're special to me
even if you don't exist
you say you do...
so if you insist...
ill keep my indie beats going
through the smile
you inspire
when you out-sing
any choir
jam to the mouse
while you dance so free
lost in oblivion
la ta dee

oh the lies you tell...

lost and found

My watery mind calms me

and puts out my fiery drive

The air inside flows 

to cause ripples inside

My legs made of sand

sifting to the ground

becoming one 

with this newly formed mound

Forever one

All and none

I am we

We are all

and all is lost

to be found again 

on another day

My thoughts flow

My hands the conduit

The sun my moon

No one caught on to it

What I have done

some good some bad

Where I've come from

the experiences I've had

Forever one

All and none

I am we

We are all

and all is lost

to be found again 

on another day.

on my way

Someone once told me

you are what you make

you live your life

a game of give and take

 but most wont give

with their lives at stake

I'm on my way

I'll see the light soon

in flight

I will see the moon

my journeys have ended

at least for now

it's time for a new quest

time to travel mentally

time for self respect

forward moving steadily

I'm on my way

I'll see the light soon

in flight

I will see the moon

taking a step back 

I really move forward

honing my skills

finding new honour

joking around

best medicine for it

the sadness and drama

in my life wont fit

I'm on my way

I see the light now

at home

I see my own crowd

no sleep for the dreamer

to dream as I do

sleepless nights

bring dreaming days

this insomnia

lack of reality

hoping its a phase

I sleep alone

but not in my head

worlds fill in the darkness

hiding behind my eyelids

the view is beautiful

oceans of silver

the ships have all sank

the officers are home

relieved of their rank

over and under 

the skies so vast

flight takes place

aboard this floating mast

the stars sparkle 

yet the daylight reigns

kindling the fires

hovering above

leaving smudge stains

incognito 

we go

to wonders

we could not have know

when I wake

when reality

 breaks this spell

I shall find refuge

a safety net

of no one I will tell

learning to fly

I close my eyes

thoughts with you

I fall asleep

remembering your touch

being apart

is beginning to be too much

darkness comes

it takes me in

on a journey 

I begin

green meadows 

eternal spring season

weeping willows

crying for no reason

clouds go by

some fast some slow

floating carelessly

through the wind

somehow they float

somehow they go

down the hill

a cottage sits

temptation to go

isn't easy to resist

I run 

fast as I can

wind catches my sleeves

it chills my hands

my legs feel weightless

my head is a cloud

my body a feather

a sensation begins

my heart glows strong

I lift off the ground

the view is majestic

the earth so far below

the most beautiful place

I will ever know

to go, to stay

will I go

will I stay

oh I wish

I knew the way

there's so much

I want to know

I'll give it all up 

give it all away

I just want you

I miss your smile

I miss your eyes

I miss the total 

lack of lies

I think of you

all the time

I watch

as your black balloon flies

it flutters and flurries

catching the wind

to go

to stay

black balloon

lead my way

her black balloon (the real version)

"I see someone
I see her well
I don’t know who she is
But she’s close as hell

I love her
I know it
But I’ve already
Blown it

She was mine
Now she’s gone
And I remember 
We had some fun

Not a day goes by
Where I don’t miss you
So I'll never let go
Of your black balloon"


its amazing what a small change in wording can do to an entire poem

my thoughts are bleeding

waving in and out
fighting the urge to scream
resisting the temptation to sleep

stuck in a paradox
of perpetual sameness
my thoughts were bleeding out of me

my heart is left
inside this green bottle
I dream of travel
going full throttle
to a destination
and place in time
where I can rest
where I can fly

heading word of mouth
I listen softly
a refugee of myself
lying honestly
don't believe the words I think
connections to nothing
you'll find me someday
when I join the living

waving in and out

fighting the urge to laugh

resisting the temptation to wake

stuck in a paradox

of perpetual changes

my thoughts are bleeding out of me

reality is relative

reach inside my heart

pull out the charred remains

this old wick has burned out

survived all his growing pains

this life

the one you're accustomed to

so intricate and fragile

is nothing more than a lie

a patsy

distracting you

so inside you'll die

another lifeless drone

another ant in the colony

grow up 

to add to the work force

and support this fake economy

its your duty

but you know this of course

it doesn't have to be this way

you don't have to conform

you don't have to fall for their lies

you create your own norm

feel what you want to feel

see what you want to see

know in your heart

that you are totally free

let go

suspend disbelief

let your mind run free

let your soul soar away

be where you would like to be

be there every day

fight club, and modest mouse

I am the warm little center

of this calm little world

fight through the crowd

go till I hurl

fuck off with your sofa unit

your string green stripe pattern

I say never be complete

the chips all fall and clatter

is this crazy?

people do it every day

they talk to themselves

they don't have the courage to say 

fuck damnation 

fuck redemption

we are gods unwanted children

please tell me again

first you have to give up

first you have to know

not fear that some day you will die

someday you will go

We were waiting
For something new
Although we knew
It's just not true

We live our lives
Talking of places
We hide our cries
But keep our faces

There's the boat
And we have our tickets
We want to go
But we've already missed it

Content with our place
We do not leave
But I know it's not
the life I want to lead.

more or less

I can not sleep

but I cant be awake

it feels too unreal

feel the earth under me quake

shivering planet

throughout half its design

longing for a second sun 

to warm the other side

my mind wanders

not letting itself rest

one second of sleep

one second less

my face is numb 

from what sleep I did get

maybe I'm dreaming

my worst dream yet

I can't focus

wandering quandaries

think so wildly

of our worlds complexities

one more second

one second less

the sun will rise soon

traveling east to west

new and old, its all relative

I love both of my skateboards, but each for a different reason. the one on the left (Rascal) is good for going down hills and carving. the bigger wheels make it so that i can go onto rougher terrain. the one on the right (Creation) is good for tricks, I've had this board for much longer, and if the pavement were adequate here in Ireland I would use it more.

ride though the dark and travel lightly

the bubbles
they circle
around my head
and in my life
coming and going
without any strife

some stay
for quite some time
some go
right as they come
when the soap is all gone
ill be left with none

people say
thats the way it is
we live
we die
but i believe
its all a lie

to die
first you must live
to live
first you must feel the sting
its only after you've lost everything
your'e free to do anything
