Late night with a Sisko

In my home
eating cucumbers, pickled,
my friend Alex dreams
of what seems like being tickled.

I sit alone and think,
as I begin to feel tired
that I wish I had a drink
because I'm still wired-

just enough so
that I can't go to bed
but not enough that I don't
want to rest my head

too many lights
too many thoughts
too much boredom
so I think of people's sex talk.

I can't because my friend...
this has to be the end!
These thoughts that make me cough...

I think I'll turn them off
Yes...
I think I'll turn them off.

Nothing Gold Can Stay

Nature's first green is gold
her hardest hew to hold
her early leaf's a flower
but only so an hour
then leaf subsides to leaf
so Eden sank to grief
so dawn goes down to day
nothing gold can stay.

The Soldier's Creed

The weight of the world is on my shoulders
so now I say goodnight
to all of those who will grow much older
and put up a better fight.

Oh sad's a song that runs too long
in twisted, bitter symphony
and I, the wanderer sleep in peace
to my own thoughts, destroying me.

and I'm tempted to do the better deed
for god, for country but mostly, for me.

I------I

Where but for a soul do these mortal woes lie
that gifted us with proverbial lies
entering chaos in a transparent union
do most of us live and take our last communion.

Ever did I look for the simple way of peace
but found I that I was interred with the beast.
Where does one reach when Satan infects the physical
and doctors look back quizzical.

I dream of perfection and live it in my life
and strived all of it searching for a wife
but as darkness falls I feel myself consumed
what demon has possessed me or fecund my mother's womb?

Where am I, stuck inside this invisible box
and diseased with my own mind a pox
never before have I so much believed the lies
and ever am I ready to die.

The agony in my brain and god cannot be found
I have accepted Jesus please do not put me down
dig me up someone from this possession of love
exercise these demons from heaven above.

Is this my fate John Calvin?
Is this my story?
am I meant to die from woe
before I had the chance for some glory?

It's the stories that I own that are destroying my brain
and my ability to think is destroying my brain
amiable silence from those who need to speak
bring me now moses to your mountain peek. 
Take me to heaven so I shall feel humanity no more
or so I shall meet god and even the score.
forgive oh lord my little tricks on thee
and perhaps I'll forgive thy great big one on me.

anger in silence and I'm cursed to be alone
someone who needs love to keep his worldly throne.
The god of war needs not love for he has something to do.
while intimacy is bread in boredom not far from the truth.

Why do I sit here in contempt of my day
why do I pray and seem to get the answer go away?
I need something else exciting in my life
or forbid myself life when I lose wrong and right.

Where is the road not taken? where is it taken?
I cannot find my path to stardom like Clay Aiken.
I am the demon who lies alone at night
and thinks of the loving in absolute spite.

I cannot even find the remnants of a soul
for I have to work odd hours for the old.
and be it far from me to criticize the lilies
even when the wind at our back breeds boredom
and gives the meek minded the willies.

The fowl of the air can look down and laugh
for they are closer to god where I can't find the path.
There's a specific function for some things in life
but mine evades me so I catch the world in spite.

Imagine the wasteful ocean bringing its devastation on us
in Louisiana I saw the people with wounds that had puss
vagrants stealing in the middle of the night
and military murders went on in plain sight.

Where am I god, I am calling to you now!
Help me out! help me out! help me out
until I'm found.

I need to get out of this tantalizing place
and see a warm face
and see a warm face
I am going insane because of thoughts on the brain
and I can not control the way life seems so plain
because I need a degree to get away from me.
Something special for the world or tempting little girls
looking at me sideways with the eyes of the devil
and fate picks on me the way fate picked on Nevil.

Take me away oh god of today,
you can save the righteous for some other day.
Come into my home where I am alone
and take me at night, to where the buffalo roam.

Make me in silence say more than I did
and make my life perfect or end it with this.

Hokie

I realize my world is in its first upheaval
this town being this way almost doesn't seem real.
I roam my serenity looking at thier faces
those now without a home because thier mind races.

In only a day, thier world went upsidown
I do not know this place I used to call hometown
it's true that I have adopted this great land
but they looked to me for leadership stance.

I cannot imagine the pain you must have felt
but know that we Hokies have never been by ourselves

To the one I love

I touch hot spots non-stop/ I follow you/ bitches want my dick like some slut voodoo/ I follow simple laws/ the only ones I know/ don’t be a dick and you might just get a ho/ When you is away/ I sweat and wake to sorrow / your first day of life/ starts with me/ fuck tomorrow/ forget completely/ the next half hour/ I’ll lick you up and down/ make your candy sweet and sour/ I’ll change you up/ like who you’re meant to be/ I’m your private corporation reppin’ pleasure I.N.C/ I heard you like the dogs/ and this one is raw/ I’m the smoothest motha fucker your eyes have ever saw/ damn baby let’s make a family tree/ welcome to the cruise/ I’m the hypodermic D.

Like I said before/ the fear is in your mind/ just lay back/ and let me wow your kind/ I promise I won’t hurt and I’ll always be gentle/ my lovin’s so good/ just my smell is sentimental/ I’ll wait for you if I can rub you down/ make your life better/ make it turn around/ make every day/ into casual foreplay/ love you till you wake to me/ and always wanna stay.

I’m the one master with a technical beat/ the way the music strokes you/ is how make the heat/ but it’s not over/ ‘till your got what you want/ girl you are my weakness/ like a vampire’s sun/ but don’t you fret/ ‘cause once it’s all over/ I’ll make you comfortable/ take a drive in the Rover/ this is how I’d like to live my life/ just two kids/ doing what feels right.

There’s a lesson to be learned/ from what you thought was wrong/ listen to my lyrics/ I hoped you liked my song/ I only speak about/ the things I know as true/ you’re all I ever wanted/ you’re more then just a boo/ eternally you’re like/ the girl I want for me/ I’ll never want another/ so if you’d just stop and see/ I care about your interests/ I’m not just dull and plain/ I’ve waited it for forever/ so we could share a name/ I made a little promise/ so we would work just right/ I’ll even build a body/ so I’m a pleasant sight/ I’ve finally got a plan/ and no it’s not just fronting / I made some money girl/ so I could make you wanting/ I built a reputation/ so I could protect you/ if you fall down/ you know I’d resurrect you/ I waited till this day/ to tell you that forever/ is right around the corner/ you are my life’s endeavor/ you are all I dream/ and you are all I see/ I’ll be the perfect man/ if you would be with me.

Till this life is over/ I promise I’ll be true/ in sickness and in health/ till death parts me from you/ sex at the beginning/ loving till the end/ you are now my lover/ though first you were my friend/ I dream that you say yes/ and never tell a lie/ I am the best solution/ and hope to be your guide/ treat you like my queen/ but also charm your life/ warm you when your cold/ hold you close at night/ I want to know you better/ I’m always asking questions/ satisfy your needs/ be there for your protection/ I’m the guy wants you/ but never makes you work/ I’m not some deviant/ I’m not a little jerk/ I am a lover true/ I’ve waited all for you/ you the woman of my dreams/ so I’m askin’/ can I marry you?

The moons of Neptune

I particularly liked the moons Neptune
their size being relative to earth
their nymph like toes meandered accross the cosmos
watching and nurturing for millions of miles, our births.

How dare his majesty Uranus disguise
Neptune with his sea bred eyes
it's quite a joke to conceptualize
that water resides more on Uranus then Neptunes 8 moons combined.

Where is our god of the seas then
to make the great Neptune wet again,
ah no, all we can hope is to sea the blue of his eyes
rather than the sea of his glory, we'll watch him develope through our skies.

we'll dream a thing or too,
but my friend don't be blue
That's up to Neptune to do
I'll proove it to you-

for one day I'll take you to that far off distant place
and show you the moons of Neptune and the Mole on Poseidon's face.
I'll show you the glory of his might
from Triton one warm summer night

from there you'll see the methane rise
through the dark december Neptune skies
there you'll see the glory grow
but for now we'll wait on the earth below

and simply like to stop and swoon
about how we particularly liked, the moons of Neptune.
