I feel like my feet wont ever touch the ground,
I feel like I'm drifting upwards into the sound,
I feel like nothing is impossible,
And that this is forever.
Music floods the senses, and into my head,
I can't lie here and sleep in my cold hard bed,
In my mind I'm soaring in a heavenly place,
Far from responsibility,
Far from rationality.
There is no reason to be happy,
But why mourn what could have been or never will,
Music is my medicine,
Music is my pill.
My heart beating in time to the rhythm,
My soul singing in unison to the choir,
If I were to drop dead, this second, I wouldn't care,
If there is a heaven I'm already there
Hand is black ink and silver lead,
Tie beginning to irritate more than just my skin,
Pride virtually lost to the world of paper-pushing,
Deadlines, reports, customer satisfaction...
It's raining on the walk home. Again.
Soaked right through, and mud on my shoes,
The shoes I polished just this morning.
A bagful of chips and a grubby service.
Cold, empty home awaits,
Killing time on an alternative route.
A road past the towering council flats.
My joy whirls down the drains with the rain.
New paths, same old sulk,
Until the corner of my eye spots something,
Carefree and pure and innocent,
A familiar face to my inner child.

20 Haiku : July 6th - July 9th
This is a small collection of the first 20 Haiku I wrote, which I have done in the past two and a half days. I've fallen in love with these little things. Tell me what you think.
The previous Hiaku I uploaded are in here so I just got rid of them, cluttering everything up.

1.Bedtime
It is time for bed,
When your face is buried deep,
Into the laundry.
(Unless you just like the smell of course)
2.Bad Morning
Headache, Missing shoe,
Unfocusable vision,
Welcome Hangover.
(The aftermath of the weekend)
3.Sushi
When you eat sushi,
And forget to brush your teeth,
Expect no kissing.
(Un
Awake? but at the same time
Not, I can hear birds outside
Sometimes
Althought this room is darkness,
Constantly.
Eyes open when i'm awake,
Eyes closed when i'm dreaming,
But never do my dreams last,
Or do they turn into sleeps.
They want to "Fix" me up,
Medicine will make me better,
Ha, i'm not sick,
I don't feel sick,
They want me to sleep, so they can come get me,
Make me like them.
It's good here, alone, dark, but
It's better than being out there,
Where they can tease, and taunt,
In here I won't
The most beautiful of all.
The flame.
She crawls along the floor.
Climbs up the walls.
Melts away these things which we own.
That own us.
You turn a new leaf.
By burning away the life you once had.
So I set fire to my home.
With all my clothes.
All my belongings inside.
My wife.
My kids.
My life.
And start again.
As who I once was.
Is now ash.
Bouncing off the walls.
Just like my brain.
Bouncing off the sides of my skull.
It aches.
It's like a tumour.
But pills can fix this.
I just need more.
And it'll all be okay.
It'll be okay.
Pills can fix this.
Untill then.
My shoulder will feel the wall.
My back will feel the floor.
My head will feel the pain.
Bouncing of the walls.
Like my brain.
Hitting the sides of my skull.
Pounding faster.
Pounding harder.
More pills.
And it'll be okay.
Promise.
It'll be okay.
Untill then.
My body will lay tangled.
My sleep will be interupted.
My life will wait.
As I bounce.
Off the walls.
But.
If this pain leaves.
I'll b
So I stood with "freinds" out in the cold, and rain,
And we spoke, but with nothing really to say,
And it dragged on and on,
But that's not what put me out of my way.
I had noticed something, in the way they spoke,
These "freinds", and the things they'd ask,
That I didn't recognize these people,
Who each wore a mask.
These people weren't the same,
As they'd previously appeared to me,
It was someone else underneath,
And I just couldn't let be.
So i pryed and poked,
At the new costumes they wore,
And found these were completly different people,
Then I had known before.
So I tried to figure out why,
They weren't being themselves
No matter what you do.
No matter what you say.
No matter who you were.
There is a little clock inside of you.
It ticks.
It tocks.
And when your time is up, you'll die.
You'll die just like the rest of us.
We're all equal in the end.

Crypric title?
The lenght of time since I last entered into this journal for those of you who care...
Dissapeared from here couple of months back, slipped into a spell of unbearable lyrical blockage and focused on composing music which drew me further and further from this keyboard to my other.
So with roughly 300 deviations to thumb through i'll be sucked back into full time deviancy I pressume but I look forward to seeing what all of y'all managed to produce in my absence.
Will eventually get back to loading my shizz up here too...
P.S. I don't feel "helpful" I just like that emoticon!
Yup, that's right as of 10.07.08 i've been a grand old 17 =P
Landed myself a job finally.
And got my holiday to Portugal all fixed up.
Y'all should check my 20Haiku too haha, expect more in the not too distant future.
Cheers
I've decided I'm back for good.
With a newly developed passion for Haiku.
Check out some of the ones I came up with last night.
And come back soon y'all!
