This was a poem that I wrote for Spring Sesshin 09

Roshis calm wind breath
bumble bee can not resist
the dharma dance

more lyrics

once you've found love you don't know how to find new love

now every new love is just a shadow



--the low anthem

ten

has lost faith in people
ideas, promises, truth
it's funny that such a state
and over sized nails could make you realize
how far away you want to be from other people
revel in silence, and get away from
this fucking place.

Lyrics that I <3 part I

Wait, they don't love you like I love you.

I'm holding out for that teenage feeling.

I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to.

On this mountain's the only place I can see clearly.

If anything could ever feel this real forever, if anything could ever be this good again.

Ireland Haiku

Really Cheesy Haiku coming at you:

emerald moss on trees
hidden valley of two lakes
exudes peace and love

7 AM, Old poem

my life isn't an indie band's
abstract modern lyrics
i breathe out and it feels like there is something inside me that is missing which might be vital to sustain my existence


I had this laying around in the memory of my computer.

a change in mood....

Two happier poems, both without titles.

the wind blows and your life can change
in a matter of minutes
sometimes you have to give up any sense of
control and just let yourself be
in the moment



nervous laughter
squints and squirms
what does this mean?

well....what could i expect?

it doesn't matter if i spill my heart and soul out to you
you want to erase it and hit fast forward
or ignore it completely
i felt your words paralyze me
i know you meant what you said
but i don't want to believe it
there is no one to believe in
nothing to stand up for
no one to confide in
nothing to look forward to
people are just people after all

Two Sad Poems

The Imminent Feeling is More Imminent

the feeling of defeat lingers in my bones
rejection after rejection
and i haven't started yet
there is only so many times you can hear
what is this going to do for you?


Well I'd rather....

apparently psilocybin is a better experience
than i am at this point in my life
is this worth it,
trying to pull you through the muck
when I am not sure what is on the other side


well they aren't really sad I guess, just real. I titled them, that's always nice.

blue b ale

Teabags and beer caps try to solicit their advice to me
I usually tell them to go fuck themselves
Who are you my mother?
I just wanted to enjoy a micro brew
And now I am getting asked questions about my future
Maybe my rooibos is right though, what am I doing?
Hoping that I will find something out there worthwhile
Move back to a warmer city that’s less gray
Looking endlessly at job postings and airline tickets
There is this feeling of imprisonment, but it’s self inflicted
Because I am the key holder to my own cell
But I am keeping it tightly shut, closing the windows and blinds
Just give me a week or two…
