haven't written any straight up poetry in a while, but I have a bunch of lyrics to songs I've written here: http://www.bandfromsociety.com/lyrics.html

and here's one more song called "next to you"

another night of quiet reflection
thinking about all the choices shaping life.
i'm trying to figure out just how i got from there to here
i'm trying to figure out just how it all went by so fast.

i've never been so certain about anything,
but somehow I know that this is right.
cuz when I touch your face and see the way you look at me
I want to hold you like this every day until i die.
it's not a matter of futility,
I know that life's worth living everytime i make you smile
and it's not that it's a mystery,
but it would take a million pages to describe just what you mean to me

so take me down
to a place where i can be a waste and explode without a sound
i'm falling down into a hole
when i'm with out you i am not anything at all... you're so beautiful

Another night of mind crazing subjection
to all the tortures I inflict apon myself.
talking to myself i lie in not so restful sleep
I couldn't force myself to think about anybody else
cuz i've waited all day long to go to sleep tonight
just so I could dream about you.
Imagining expressions on your face,
Inventing all the words that I wish so much that you would say

so take me down
to a place where i can be a waste and explode without a sound
i'm falling down into a hole
when i'm with out you i am not anything at all

intoxicated by this late hour
all these thoughts devour me
i taste my whole world turning sour
when you walk away from me.
and I can't seem to find the right words
so I'll have to use the wrong ones
I will write every emotion until i become undone
i would walk a million miles in anybody's shoes
and in another fifty lifetimes
i will still want to wake up next to you
