The Length of Time February 20, 2009

Why have days stretch out?

...so long

they seem to carry on
like a song so old you cannot stand
like a moment way to cruel it never ends

They stay...

They stay to watch me fall in love with dawn
though they know I want the mornings light and sun
but day, It only saddens and night it bitters me
stuck right in the between
when will you be able to see

That days are timed moment in our lives

and our lives are way to short

we caught ourselves on fire

and messes of all sorts

...

and day somehow still seem to long

Page One

-By Jimmy

The sun is blinding even at night

I press soft on this clear page full of silent lines
soon to scream my truth as of today

and I thank you in this sentence
It's the only way I know how

But I'm still unsure about what I should feel...
It's another way to ask myself if your real

and I don't know....
Do I even want too?

Its the first page...
Page one
and I don't know what to say

My mind is cluttered in every way
but there's still and urge to say "Thank you"
So I Thank you in secret

Still I Thank You

...Today...

Red Roses

Theres a pedal for every emotion on my heart
bright red roses set me apart
The drink pain like water
as I'm nurtured by our father

Long stem
leaf on the left
writes an instrumental song
that amputates the right way
to look at life

Ive picked such sweet roses to look at
but each rose left a whole unfed

now thorns help my hands bleed
to paint each rose bright red
I'll bleed to grow more red roses

Watch Me Fall

Im in the presence of reality
but I cant help to question myself

My eyes turn gray as they fade into sleep
Dreams are nightmares with a smile

where he tells me the lies

your no good for life
you cant take the razor away
watch it become you
scratch your name

and watch it bleed

...

Im here but still absent
and I turn into a bullet

here Im power against life
to show you Im not real

WATCH ME FALL

Ill even let you pull the trigger

The Lord Said "I Love You!"

Show me your stillness
as I hold the hands of silence

Ive spoken softly tonight
to keep my ears open to your whispers

Here I can sleep safely with you in mind
Where dreams lay still as well

Thats when you said "I Love You"

...

Time is frozen in this moment
As I'm slow dancing you stitch your spirit gently inside me

I listen but still cant hear
fear takes me slowly again

Words are slow in this story
being written, ink is low

I slowly turn to lead

As I write recklessly
you erase my mistakes
and perfect each sentence
so when I re-read over my depression

Thats when I read "I Love You"

So show me your stillness
as I hold the hands of silence

Ive spoken softly tonight
to keep my ears open to your whispers

Here I can sleep safely with you in mind
Where dreams lay still as well

Thats when you said "I Love You"

The Lord Said "I Love You!"

A Place With You

Your eyes are crystal clear here

Alone...

sand hides between my toes
but hidden in the sand is your love

I dig and dig for the perfect sand to build the best sand castle I can imagine
but talent is low today

This footstep is home
near your waves
I find the embrace Ive been looking for
but loose from time to time

leave me out the water
and let me fine your presence else where

why...

why can I see your stillness in a smile
your love in a hug

but in silence I loose myself but still remember you?

your eyes are crystal clear here
Alone These footsteps are forgotten
but your eyes see my every step

...I know you wont forget
