this is a photo i took at my lake house last summer.
oh how i need summer.

don't come knocking

don't come knocking
we won't be here
we'll be enjoying life
facing our every fear

hello summer days
good bye winter cold
creating fresh ideas
ideas to conquer the old

don't come knocking
you never know what you'll find
we're out forming a universe
leaving an old one behind

painting the stories
crafting the poems
capturing the photos
and an issue to hold them

so don't come knocking
we wont come to the door
we'll be falling together
from the universe to the floor

cliche

up rooted from normalcy
slammed against society
kicked against the curb
difference is the key

dress different
be unique
feel emotion
defy defeat

smoke your pot
let your hair grow
read your orwell
preach what you know


create your art
avaunt guard at first
flowing with emotion
so much it might burst

the unavoidable truth
of this new day
in the search of unique
you became another cliche

from the marble pedestal that was once my home

into the dark spiral

what,that once was true, is not

down

until the light vanishes from sight

the spiral consumes everything

sounds lost, feelings disappeared

numb

my heart is

it falls from my chest, motionless

the spiral consumes the ablility to love

steals the memories

captures the music
