“FLY” *from 1990 Stiletto heels – a flashy smile Black dress, tattoo, she’s feeling wild She walks in the room Like she owns the place They know it’s true When they see her face Black on black- Lipstick so red Wild burgundy flames Around her head He knows she wants To take a chance It’s said so clearly In her dance She whirls around In a ball of flames It’s the only way she knows To forget the pain (She’s so wild – but just a child She knows what she wants – but not how to get it) Her eyes glow bright As she flies down the street The bike’s her escape From reality The motor whines Inside her head She wonders what it’d be like If she were dead Faster and faster Life passes her by Now’s a time to fly - not to die (She’s so wild – but just a child, She knows what she wants – but not how to get it) IP: Logged |

Morbid 7/19/1991Morbid sensations? Oh, yes, they might be Decomposing the sense of your reality Darkness intrigues As does the night Shadows that scatter at the flick of a light Curiosity invites A glance at the knife As it tears apart what’s left of your life A glorious bloodbath It washes you in Drown in an ocean of un-repented sin You cannot escape A road bound to Hell Do not pass Go – We wish you well

Destruction 7/19/1991 Another loose end Rocketing towards destruction No time to mend The lull of death’s sweet seduction Timeless thoughts Buried just beneath the surface Another holocaust An accidental circus A tortured soul cries Hands aloft in anguished surrender Twisted evil lies These are easy to remember A cruel twist of fate A hatchet buried in a heart As those old dreams suffocate And your soul is blown apart

Run 2001So why do I feel like you’re still here Lurking and loving behind the fear Staring into my soul As I grow old There never really is an end Are we that weak Or do we just pretend Has something swallowed us Smoking choking Lack of trust CHORUS: Breathing each other’s breath Sliding closer in our sweat I see your eyes It’s no surprise Have I been here before Or am I looking into a mirror Are we running from ourselves? It’s too ******* hard I see it in our stars This world shreds my soul A lonely battle to stay whole There is an easy way I won’t take that path I’ve walked in darkness before I know the aftermath CHORUS: Breathing each other’s breath Sliding closer in our sweat I see your eyes It’s no surprise Have I been here before Or am I looking into a mirror What am I running from? You put your darkness in me I put my darkness in you Now we face OURSELVES Can we handle the TRUTH
Is it Hate Is it Love Are the answers coming from below or above A knife in my heart A knife in my side I twist them sometimes To remember I’m alive CHORUS (modified) Breathing each other’s breath Sliding closer in our sweat I see your eyes There’s no surprise I HAVE been here before I am looking into a mirror I am running from myself What’s left to do What’s left to say We either hold out our hands Or turn away To face this life On our own Forever searching for what we left alone
It all seems crazy To give up before we’ve begun To continue to fight a fight We had already won I breathe your breath I smell your sweat I look in your eyes For all of time

Sweet Surrender 2006Everyone trusts their feelings Love, lust, loses meaning The plan is the plan Don’t you understand? The reality your games Are concealing Fight all you want Create a good story Pain, sacrifice, excitement And glory
I like to float in The sweet surrender I like to suppose that It’s just getting better More love and more freedom Every day All of my dreams On the way Do you have to lose hope? You smoke and you mope I find you quite interesting I like to float in The sweet surrender I like to suppose that It’s just getting better More love and ideas For fun More challenges Waiting to be won

Self Deception 2006(I can feel it) I’m about To do something Stupid Again I convince myself That this Is the end I can make myself Fall For another man And escape this Feeling Of love And of sin I’m a master At Self deception (and SO ARE YOU!) I can’t have you But I can start new For a night Or a year The future’s unclear Does it really Even matter It helps me to forget I can focus on other things Like how they disgust me And my own self-loathing! I’m about To do something Stupid Again I convince myself That this Is the end I can make myself Fall For another man And escape this Feeling Of love And of sin They aren’t even close But I pretend
I’m a master At Self deception

This one is one of my old favorites Candles Again 2006
Candles again Filling in The blanks With question after question Learning again Yearning again Searching, seeking, I have a suggestion What now And when Don’t do it again Closeness, it ruins my perception Too much to hope for Too much to lose Psychic empathy Cryptic clues I like my pleasure With only a little pain I do like falling in love Again and again…. With you With you Always something new With you With you Forever in my heart It’s true I like to tie off Somewhere firm Floating, flying, Trusting love’s return With you With you Always something new With you With you It’s always you IP: Logged |

More '06 these are scribbled notesI'm not perfect Don't you see? That pedestal's too dam' small for me I need to dance and share my story share the mystery inside of me I can't stay pretty like a doll in a box admired and dusty and never loved Just don't break me or put me away u don't wanna play Let me be your muse and you be my inspiration what 'ave we got to lose well, now that you mention it... Let's lose our inhibitions let's lose our clothes If we lose what we came with You never know it might be beautiful it might be beautiful it might be beautiful IP: Logged |

More from the very early 90'sSweet Sweet Love Soft smooth skin and bright blue eyes Long soft hair and quiet, gentle sighs Two special hearts join together as one It may be wrong, but now it's done They came together beneath the sky And side by side they both now lie The stars smile down at the two young souls They once were young, but now quite old Something special has happened tonight A stronger force than either could fight Their hearts knew the Truth when they both felt lost And they were brought together - no matter the cost Her devil eyes - his angel smile It looks like they'll be together... for a while But how long can this magic last? The future belongs to them - if they can forget about the past The moonlight shines down from above And together in the grass they make sweet sweet love IP: Logged |

Another charming captured moment of bitterness dated 5/7/91 the old ones usually took me about 3 minutes to completely finish each one... if that.Easy Living (NOT!) <--- um yeah, "not" - Anthrax Death comes swiftly in the night cuts through your heart like a knife rips to shreds your tired soul how could someone so young grow so old- so quickly sliced your heart filleted your brain didn't notice the extent of the pain. But it was real. Pass that whiskey bottle to me I'll show you things you've never seen And never want to. But what the **** who gives a dam* No one really understands your mentality So kill yourself show them all let others be responsible for your Fall Isn't that the easy way? Who said it wasn't easy? Some ****** up b*****d who doesn't know the Grand Finale to life's final show Death comes swiftly in the night No need to run No need to fight No need to even shout Cuz baby, you know, you've got the easy way out. So there's no problem who gives a dam* you just **** up God's final plan Cuz you've got the brains you know it All Just don't expect me to be around when you FALL Death comes swiftly don't you know? So, die if you must-- But Die Alone IP: Logged |

Ok, next in the notebook a scribble chart that says the words "bi-polar" and "chemical imbalance". Naaahhh...Then some poems from a "friend" and this little ditty... My soul is torn completely apart So much love to give but only one heart Three special friends - different kinds of love expecting me to choose one heart above - the others But I'm just so lost and confused wondering if I'm being used. Asking for some time for me before I decide who I want to be - my one and only
Wanting to learn to love ME Before facing harsh reality (it was all I could do not to taunt myself here at every line, how melodramatic)

Wrote this one for my friend Matt-- still a beloved friendThat crazy smile My knock 'em dead But what goes on Inside your head You laugh and joke But that's on the outside When they're gone Is when you cry You've been a child but now you're grown You need someone with a heart and mind like your own Take some time Some time to live Worry about who you are Not what you can give IP: Logged |

Wrote this one for Jon who wrote me pages of "songs". Most of the above are amalgams of more than one man and more than one experience, but when I was young I was always "writing songs" to the men I loved (even if it was 3 at a time, like the one after this...) Jon was way too young for me so I took off with a Sag. It's true - I still love you It's true - I can't leave this feeling behind It's true that when I close my eyes Your love is still on my mind
It's true - I'd die to hold you It's true - I'd love to touch It's true - I won't forget our time Our love was way too much So don't just walk away Don't turn your back to me Because our brief and shining love Was my reality. (we used to sit around in a smoky room talking about "reality" man) (is it just me or do I rip off my own lines? So much "dying" and "souls torn apart". Sheesh)

OH! The agony of it all!!! ONE Last time to be with you
ONE Last chance what you put me through ONE Last dime to call you on the phone ONE Last dance and then we're both alone Each line has a different guy's initials. What? It was a rough year. :rollseyes: Actually, I over dramatize... I only "did wrong" two guys in my life. One was totally my fault (see line one above when I left my young poet for a rock n roll Sag) and the other was this stubborn ass Taurus who was in the Army (oh that was something) wouldn't budge on anything or try to hear me, and I kissed his friend without any warning to him because he took off for a brief time with full intentions of coming back. Why am I unloading all of this? Because PLuto says so.

Ok, I think it was Xena who posted the anti-smoking poem..? Well, this is the one I was thinking of when I read that... the one I wrote as a teen (or maybe I was 20 in '91?) anyway... it was after one friend died from substance abuse, one committed suicide, and another was stabbed. It's MUCH more offensive than the anti-cig poem. I was dramatic. Ahh, to be young at heart.typed below as it appears on the original (lucky you, although it will be highly censored, it rhymes, well, except the last word, just pick one there) page: Don't Run Under the Gun Stupid A Hypocritical Song I've got the drugs If you've got the time I hold in my hands The destruction of your mind Cuz I don't care What you do I don't care who I screw Cuz thanks to you-- you ****** up slob I don't even need a job I just take money from you ******* ***** You'll pay anything for your fix And it doesn't really matter to me Cuz All I care about is the green So you're on the street Or maybe you're dead Brains blown twenty feet from your head I don't even give a **** I just deal the destruction And wish you luck (*******) IP: Logged |

This was written the same time as "One More" I was 19 or 20. Boo hoo but true.Too Many Too many decisions Too little time Too many people Saying "mine! mine! mine!" Too many people in such a hurry Too many problems Too many worries Too many times the tears run down your face Too many times You get caught up in the race Too many times You don't know what to do Too many times Feelings are hurt by you Too many times You'd like to scream Cuz life is crushing All your dreams IP: Logged |

unfinished scribbled one, must have been "trying" to compose instead of letting it pour outSomeday baby I'll wake up to find You're next to me Not in my mind My mind starts to wander, and I think of you. We had just begun And now we're thru Sometimes it's not worth it Livin' each ***kin' day The feeling might be there But there's nothin' more to say It started out a dream But it's going nowhere fast Each day it gets worse Can't keep livin' in the past I try to hold on tight but I can't do it alone (that's it) (scribbled on the back says something about "smokin' a last cigarette" and wondering what happened to my life) IP: Logged |

Ok, and the 1991 GRAND FINALE!!!!!! Da dada DAAAA!(there's more, I'm just done typing them for the night) Mellie was a good girl Said she'd never smoke Now she bitches for the joint She wants another toke What happened to the innocence? What happened to the dreams? She takes another drag And pours a shot of Beam She sits for hours Tears in her eyes Those who knew her then Understand why she cries Her mother always told her Each day that school bell rang To do her best Forget the rest It's that potential thang She stays awake all night Waitress at the truck stop She smiles and offers another drink And wonders when she'll drop. She lives each day and thinks all night She tries to look her best Without water for a shower Without some time to rest. She checks the mail As she drives by Another day, another bill She wonders why she tries. Her mother always told her Each day that school bell rang To do her best Forget the rest It's that potential thang There might have been a chance But the grades went down and so did she The diploma sits in her trailer But what the hell does it mean? Her car broke down - no way to work Got kicked out - can't pay rent On the streets all alone Her money and energy spent. Her mother always told her Each day that school bell rang To do her best Forget the rest It's that potential thang Now she's moved away Found a place that's calm and sweet Blood pours from her head the car's aflame A diploma at her feet. (hey, i thought the car was broke down..? ahh, no matter it's THE-AH-TAR!) Goodnight Seattle! IP: Logged |
