I feel like I’m on a train with no destination
The people change but their actions stay the same
Train With No Destination
Nils Bowery
Here lies Nils Bowery,
The man the myrrh the legend.
The woman the mysterious the majestic.
Nils was a private person with a quiet confidence.
Nils would light up a room as soon as it was entered.
With a smile, oh a smile that would make snow shy.
Bowery gave us hope through filmmaking, photography, art, and music
And as the world turns, will bring us joy through nostalgia as we remember the good times.
So I say again, here lies Nils Bowery, gone but never forgotten.
The resisting River
The river flows downwards
And resistance is a symptom
to keep ourselves from drowning.
We push ourselves onward
thrust through the punishment and grow our powers
The End of The Affair
Forged together by poverty and struggle.
Broken apart by wealth and power
By the grace of the fire and the flames
The heartache and the pain
Stuck in a trap between love and abuse
Down in the dumps with some terrible blues
Time will eventually knock on my door
To tell me that nothing stays brand new
Confusion struck when suddenly came war
I thought that we were alone together
But really I was just alone forever
Freshly immersed in this new September
Time will take us into different weather
These drifting nights I can no longer take
My hearts become way too opaque,
A battered vessel but within beats a dream.
While the blood pumps in my veins
I will push forward
Until I am, as right as rain.
The One I Lost, The One I Found
Dear Katherine
The woman that made me a man.
You gave me purpose, passion, and drive
The second you took my hand.
Lurking outside your window,
Pining away.
Chasing you in the garden,
Every single day.
Looking for a partner in crime.
I would change my plans on a dime.
I loved you and you loved me,
But my brother stole you away from me.
A Bulgarian seductress.
With brown hair that is lustrous.
Fireworks and rockets red glare.
My first love forever,
A majestic affair.
–
Was brought up to be a gentleman
So sweet and polite
A girl just broke my heart
Isn’t that a sorry sight
No need for tears though
There’s nothing to fear bro
There will be another one
There will be another one

Dear Elena
I was roaming through the streets
Then I fell in love with a stranger
Found passion, adventure, and even a little danger
Dancing together,
A lion and a gazelle,
That’s what I’ll remember.
Physical perfection
With olive complexion
Powerful, mystical, and naturally recurring,
A beautiful Doppelgänger, desire is what you’re stirring
You give me goosebumps
You give me chills
When I’m with you, time stands still
I wrote in my journal
The promise I gave you,
That love could be eternal
Two lovers that found each other
Spirits kindred
I’d be honored to be your partner, husband, and father of your Children
Friendship
The thing about great friends
Is that they bring out the best in you.
They seek out your essence
Not only do they accept all they find
But they settle for nothing less.
Power
Power, something so many people crave
But at what expense?
Although it gives the freedom to choose,
With a propensity for abuse and corruption
How worth it is it?
It can be hoarded by the mighty
Or stolen from the innocent
Turning pacifists into militants
And freedom fighters into tyrants
Causing good intentions to turn to crisis
Leaving many unfortunate souls lifeless
Because the ones who have it indulge in their vices
I’ll ask again
How worth it is it?
Children of The Damned
In a world without an end or beginning,
My sweet little rose tried so hard just to blend in.
She’s been walking through life looking for a connection.
She pretends to be tough but she’s really codependent.
All she ever really wanted was some sort of affection.
Forced to take life in so many directions.
She became cold and so unforgiving.
She needs me to fix her but it’s always too much.
I gave her everything I had but it was never enough.
My baby girl always calls me because she scared to be loved.
She wants me to soothe her with my rhetoric,
But I can’t bear to tell her that my love will only ever be synthetic.
It will fade like the sand in an hour glass.
And when it does it will only bring out our immense contrast.
The Things We Lost in The Fire
Girl I’m so conflicted
it’s been so long since we’ve kicked it.
But babe your really expensive,
I’m not sure if I’m still with it
You got on a plane and went back to your hometown,
And ever since then I’ve been trying to track you down.
Wood floors in your SoHo Apartment.
Good girl gone bad, I wonder how it started
Every week in July you would pick up the call.
Then I would race my way by past Webster Hall.
I would have been the Tom Cruise to Katie Holmes,
But what you really wanted was to be alone.
Going down the path of Veronica Lake.
But one good conversation is all it would take.
On second thought your more like Sophia Loren,
Una bella ragazza che è motto bello.
And no baby girl I didn’t mean to offend,
I just didn’t think that this is how it would end.
Last time we met you stared into my eyes so hopelessly
And ever since then I’ve just been walking around woefully.
Brave New World
The righteous God came to take me down
Empty Cathedral roars with a silent sound
But the Devil sprung out to drag me around
He clenched my skin and took me straight to the ground
I’ve been ripped of my graceless heart
The demons circle round to tear it apart
Consumed by the darkness I’ve become undone
But the Angels fought hard to help me restart
They held so tight I had no place to run
The only one that can save me now
Is desperately trying to hide in the crowd
As God reached out and yelled my name
I rose like a Phoenix soaring through the flames
But with sinners and saints roaming all through town
Uneasy remains the head that wears the crown
God came up and said it’s your turn now
And as I pierced into her golden eyes
I was struck by a light that made me question life
In her arms I felt so soft and sweet
One million miles away from the terrors of the night
No more dragging around my faded fickle feet
I will no longer be ruled by what’s in the deep
