The Corrections Page

I won't correct what isn't right

And sing songs I haven't heard 

I won't try to change your mind

And save you from the lesson learned

Some things are only ever taught

Through the harshest bite of pain

Some things are only remembered

In the emptiness after you came 

So I won't tell you that you're wrong again tonight

And I won't argue and I won't put up a fight

Because we know that of course you're always right

Even when it takes tears and years out of sight

I won't correct what isn't wrong

With my silent disapproval

But in silence I still speak now

Correcting with my personal removal

I am not one to be ignored 

An I'm not one to be emulated 

But now consider yourself warned 

And listen up before I'm vindicated 

My Analytic Bezoar

It's all been done before

What a bore

Hang up the quill and write no more 

Leave this chore

Seek a different door

And don't be sore

It's  in the lore 

The artist's core 

Only wants them to adore 

But no muse to implore

From days of yore 

So the pressing feeling now ignore

Against the urge to write now roar 

And wail against the unfair score

Too late your art made war

To an empty battle field lacking gore

It's own heart alone now tore

Never to rise up above and soar 

Never to land on that shining shore 

Too late libation it will pour 

Waiting not to see what's in store 

This muse a fussy and a whore

To make each poet her amore

Superficial

How shallow you must be 

That I think to win you 

With looks and charms 

And a clever turn of phrase

How shallow you must think me

That you'd beguile my heart with treacherous sighs

Or perhaps no thinking between we 

Maybe the realm of love truly belongs to the mad

Is it madness still

When logic and reason comply

Traitorous logic

Villainous reason 

Complicit in my murders

Both my longtime bedfellows

Now I see plainly you have abandoned me

Left me to loves vicious maw

And I submit too willingly

Traitor will

Against my better judgement 

Maybe I am shallow then after all

Maybe I can hope you are as base as me

And maybe we can just be human together 

What I mean

And that us why when I say yes I mean no

And when I say lets go I mean to stay 

And when I caress you I am still hurting you

And why my smiles are all spent tears

And why when I say I think I love you

I mean I know I love you 

And that I mean it when I say 

I am still going to hurt you - my dear

Sleep and Slumber

You slumber yet you do not sleep

You sleep yet you do not dream

You dream yet you do not hope

You hope yet you do not walk

You walk yet you do not run

You run yet you do not move

You move yet you never arrive 

You arrive yet you are never satisfied

You are sated yet you are still tired 

You are tired yet you do not slumber 

You slumber yet you do not sleep
