Homeless

I walked to the man in the lake and he asked

where will I lay my head?

I said,

"it won't be on a pillow

you won't be lying on a bed

but the best dreams are under the stars

so I'll see you on Jupiter

and maybe we'll make it to Mars"

"then I'll see you on Jupiter

and invite you to Mars

mars has the best restaurants

but Saturn's got the bars"

"we'll be dancing on Saturn's rings"

as a choir of angels sings"

"they might just be aliens"

"I'm not worried about these things!

I'll see you on Jupiter"

"where the cold wind shall blow"

"then lets forget about Jupiter

and I'll meet you on Mars

we lay our head under the stars

but we'll wake up on mars..."

detached

In a crowded street,

some busy boulevard,

of my lonesome musing,

where the cyclists pedal

and families push strollers,

friends talk

about future and past weddings

about newborns and baby showers

they whisper funereal small talk

new and lost jobs

classes, professors

the occasional hey or how you doing

long time no see

what've you been up to

still with that baker, nurse, brunette?

yeah, Sarah, Christian, Rebecca.

no,

yeah,

we're engaged.

congratulations

sorry to hear that

she was a mess anyways

nice catching up

have a nice day.

skateboard punk rockers,

yuppies and thugs,

on their cellphones

as vendors sell

and beggars beg

churches and clubs

carrying fliers

as cars roar past

and babies cry

I hear it all

through these ear-buds

attached to my pocket

as I walk alone

detached

to the dry beat of my empty heart

Hurt

How can I find the words to express the pain

though none is felt

How can I find the words to express the hurt

when I'm in ecstacy

How can I perfect the smile

so that you can see my tears

I can't

only in silence do I feel this

If I could convey to you the beauty of this torture

and your heart could wretch

in such a way you question its existence

your legs could tremble so that you walk straight

your eyes could cloud with fear and doubt

as you gaze upon the beautiful trees

If serenity could overwhelm you like like soft pillows

Then you could no nothing as I do

you could not understand my suffering

as I do

And we could walk alone as I would.
