Did It Again
"Did It Again"by Roger ParkerI did it again.I let you creep back into my thoughts,At one point I had buried you so deep -Resurrection did not seem possible.The feeling of sadness was replacedWith this calming numbness,That not even a blade could pierce.I didn't hate youNor did I love you by any means.I became indifferent towards what you meant:Your laughter,A symbol of our friendship,A friendship that had long agoFaded into the depths of my mind.I put away all the pictures of youAnd the box of mementos I held ontoBut then you worked your way back into my thoughts.The numbness -Once a calming serenity,Replaced with feelings of angerFor knowing you and the time spent togetherAnd for you being in the right placeAt the wrong time,A deadly situation for all surrounded.The wounds you left upon meSlowly healed themselves,To my shock,And I'm left with the scars of the memories.

Fool
"Fool"
written by Roger ParkerHe didn't think he had it - the skill
To make it out on his own.
"Things will be how
They are meant to be,"
She said, curiously.
It didn't take a fool to realize,
The Jester's no longer entertaining.
He didn't think he had the skills
To leave a legacy behind,
Flicking his cigarette to the floor
He flashed back to her:
"You're a seductress,"
He said,
"Girl, you are bewitching."
Her resounding sigh,
"I've played this longer than you."
It didn't take a fool to realize,
The Jester's no longer entertaining.
Retiring at the King's recommendation,
Those bells no longer sound.

Ohio
"Ohio"
written by Roger Parker
Breaking new ground,
He steps into this persona.
"I grew up too fast," he said,
"Go be extraordinary
Then come back to me," she replied.
He had built himself up,
Piece by piece:
Finding out what it means to be a man
On foreign soil.
His father hadn't prepared him
For this violent thunderstorm approaching,
Mind shattering with possibilities.
He left her back in Ohio,
Left behind his childhood,
He left her behind in Ohio,
In Ohio.

Lilith
"Lilith"
written by Roger ParkerThe sea had rocked me to sleep before you came
"Return and all shall be right"
Listening and debating the proposition carefullyHe from soil and I from fire
From the earth we two, made to lie equalThe water has been my warmth
In these many weeks isolated
I washed away these sins bequeathed to me
In the salt that flowed from his tears"Leave me be"
And with that you recoiled to your GodYou think I'm a slut
The origin of your sin
But I'm not the origin of your sin
She comes with the second attemptWith your absence
I could not keep their babies alive
This troubling serpent
I will survive
I can survive -
Expelled
"Expelled"
written by Roger ParkerThis paralyzing fear
To put down my roots,
Put down my roots here in this home.
Only to be plucked from security.
No comfort in this womb
No there's no comfort in this womb,
Being expelled at other's desires.
Are they my hands?
These intruders in my space,
Grasping around --
Now, is this heaven?
Or could this be hell?
This light at the end,
Being expelled,
Blinding on all accounts.
I soaked my roots in your bliss
Only to find you dead
Upon arrival.
