There was once a time where I lived and breathed this song. For those familiar with the HBO series Six Feet Under, it appears in a beautiful montage on the series finale.
It’s okay to miss insanity sometimes as long as you don’t succumb to the urge to return to it.

Just put the finishing touches on the first Christmas gift of the year in JoAnn’s Canditi Purple wool…maybe I should spin up a matching hat as well..?

I need to get out
and let the world
bring my colors to life
and illuminate my shadows.
Life should be so much more
than a mass of computer searches
black and white phrases
pointless pass times
the whirring of fan blades
in small empty rooms.
What about
the ruby red trees
covered bridges
fireflies in the forest
the soft, stirring echoes
of birds in flight
and dancing around bonfires
on cool autumn nights?
So much I have missed
staring blankly at
mindless television shows
out of foggy windows
across dark parking lots
into bland cubicle walls
and driving in circles
through this tired, dying city
waiting
for the phone to ring
a plea to be seen
a chance to be heard
a voice to call my name
a single sprout
from the seeds I have sown
for something..
anything….
to happen.

Drawing up the blinds
staring out into the night
searching for your face
Peering through the glass
hoping for a ray of light
to fill the empty space
Melancholy dreams
wrapped up in a thundercloud
smolder in my soul
Running for the door
maybe just a whisper there
maybe something more
but the amber moon
shines a wicked smile at me
hiding in this room
guess it wasn’t so
guess it wasn’t meant to be
guess we’ll never know…

On your island
Forever
unfolds before your eyes.
Waves of desolate emptiness
wash up debris on the sand.
The continent of normal life
is so far away
and the ocean swells are rough
and too hard to cross.
but this isn’t loneliness -
it’s your own private paradise.
No more temptations
No responsibilities
No fears
Now you’ll never have to worry
about running away
you can just dry up
and disappear…

Moon
Silent marble stone
Cold dead eyeball, ghostly pale
watching mortals sleep
—————————–
Self-defense
Spiders stay outside -
once you step into my lair
then it’s death by shoe
——————————–
Trick or Treat
Spirits from the grave
Rise again for just one thing -
Chocolate, of course.
