No Name



Our arms, our legs, intertwine
In a world unknown to the human eye
Our bodies rooted to the ground
Five feet above the surface
No where to look
But up.

We fell in to the cliche pool
Of a four letter word
Written by the thousands of hearts
That lay across the universe

Our hearts are racing as fast as a new born's.
Our palms, glued together by the sweat.
And that moment,
Where all else falls down along with the world
But your still standing here
With me, for what feels like an eternity.

We're falling, we're crawling.
Your calling, I'm reaching, I'm reaching.
Your speaking, I'm speaking.
I'm yelling, I'm wailing.
I feel it, you see it.
I live it, you speak it.
I'm crying, you hear it, i hear it.
Your shaking, I'm aching.
I'm aching, your breaking, your breaking.
And I'm calling, I'm reaching, I'm reaching.
Your speaking, your seeking, your seeking.
I'm trying, I'm crying.
I need you, I need you.

And when everyone else fails to see
You open your eyes and you see right through me
And now its me and you.
Falling and crawling and crying and drowning
Me and you.
Hearing and seeing and feeling and speaking.
You and me
Shaking and aching and breaking and quaking.
Us We
Calling and seeking and reaching and trying.
Trying and trying.

And once again I feel at ease
In the arms of one's heart
Drowning in the love I wish to have fallen.
And the people whose hearts that have been broken
One day, may it be today or tomorrow
Are mended, for

Lovely Bones



I sat online today...
I watched lovely bones. I have read the book, and although the movie is very different from the book, it was a good movie. But it made me wonder, do you ever ponder on what may be beyond us? Beyond this life? Beyond the rest? What happens when we finally close our eyes and rest in sleep for eternity. I realize people believe in certain religions for this very reason, but how can you keep telling yourself there is something beyond this point if we really don't know for sure? How can you live your whole life doing only what rules apply in your religion, but not really know for sure we'll end up where They say we'll be when we pass? Is there really a heaven? A hell? Is there an in-between, where we grow to move on from the past and proceed into what we call heaven? I mean, if you really think about it, dyeing is like sleep. But in this case, a sleep we never wake up from. How do you normally feel when you wake up from sleep? Tired, of course. But beyond that. Beyond that observation. How long did it feel like? In my view, it felt like 5 minutes. You can barley remember sleep, besides your dreams, but even those are only up to 15 seconds. Its like falling into darkness, blacking out, and awakening to the world once again. Is that how death is? We fall into the darkness one last time, but this time, not waking up is quite inevitable? Can we still think? Still believe? Still see, or breath? Do we see a light? It sounds cliche, but how many books and movies have based it on a light. Do we follow to what there is beyond? Or is that it? After the darkness there is no more. No more seeing, or breathing, thinking nor believing? What about the so called after life many speak of. Some say they want to be a bird, or a fish. Me? I'd want to be me again, just in another life, another situation, different circumstances, a new experience, but does that mean I must forget everything I learned once before in my old life? There are "new" souls and "old" souls upon this earth. Meaning some have lived a life before, and some were born brand new. Well, why do we have to forget the old stuff, the old circumstances, lessons, and mistakes? You know when your walking down a street, maybe crowed with hundred of people, or just one or two here and there, that split second where you see a face you feel like you once knew? But you know, there has never been a moment in your life you've ever even encountered this person. I dont nessisarily know where im getting at. But do you understand me?

Do you ever ponder on what may be beyond us? Beyond this life? Beyond the rest? What happens when we finally close our eyes and rest in sleep forever? Do we go into the in-between and proceed to heaven, or do we lay in the crevices of our own dead body underneath the dirt in darkness for eternity?
