Kindred
Enraptured by your descent
Of consciousness and exhaustion
Beneath twilight's destruction
Into a renewed dawn's breath
Anticipation gleans my
Fixation upon your resting
Senses, leaving steadily
Our realm of shameless madness
Into another, far beyond
My grasp, my failing reach
Could that I join you there
Would we ever wake from sleep?
Now I await your sudden
Exhalation and brightened shift
Like a cloud burst with sun
Rupturing through the mist
For your mirth is my mirth
Repurposed and repossessed
And what haunts your health
Shares my shadow--kindred to death.
Crime of Passion
I will always remember
the day you said:
I love you.
I was a fool
to believe you.
Now, I lay half conscious
on the kitchen floor
blood seeping from
the knife wound
which you forced
into my bare skin.
Memories of you and I
run through my mind
because after all:
I will always love you.
Maybe a part of me
thought I deserved the pain.
Fall
Love;
A belief,
A truth,
A lie.
One word;
Many meanings:
Friendship,
Family,
Romance,
Tears,
Passion,
Pain.
Sometimes meaningless,
For true love is only real if returned,
And unrequited love will only hurt,
Burn you to colourless ashes,
So you forget there was ever beauty in your heart.
Yet love heals,
Love gives a reason to live,
Creates hope in a hopeless shell,
Gives life to ashes,
Binds together broken pieces,
So a work of art is made.
Love is weakness,
Love is strength,
A perfect paradox,
An eternal force,
A momentary sensation;
We fear and crave it,
A toxic drug,
Invisible and silent.
For in the end,
Love fades,
Love dies,
We fall forever,
Arms never catch us,
The ground envelops every soul,
We're left infinitely and utterly alone...
There will always be an over in lover,
An end in friends,
Every family grows apart,
So is the high worth the fall...
Shattered
Once a heart is broken:
it can never be mended,
or remain constant
with a steady rhythm.
Our hearts are fragile,
like thin glass shards
whose pieces are nearly:
invisible.
It is impossible to forget
the feeling of our hearts,
shattering and falling
as we fear to get close
to another heart
who will know:
the truth.
Comfortable in Your Own Skin
Listen to your peace in stillness,
own the sound that beats inside,
kick off the dust of yesterday,
wing like an eagle to tomorrow.
Ladle out love in big scoops,
accept the winds of change
and ride them into the horizon.
Eavesdrop on heartfelt songs
of innocence reverberating,
uplift your questioning eyes
and seek your own advice
because others have not trod
your path scattered with
withered flowers and scars
of darkened corridors.
Stir laughter into your tears,
flow forth in lively colors,
speak your truths loudly.
Play with fire and flesh,
develop strength of spirit,
run swiftly into the future.
Remember who you were,
recognize who you are
and discover who you will be –
but above all, be yourself,
comfortable in your own skin.
The Simple Truths of Death
Buried beneath the dirt was more than a human body recently deceased, but a hidden treasurer of secrets. Words that never could, will no longer be formed or rehearsed. It was too late. Actions left undone will never be practiced. Once death comes, our lives are returned, for they were only temporary. Our breaths will freeze as our bodies grow rigid and stiff with the stop of the clock which death struck. Nothing is forever. Never get your hopes up for your heart will be shattered and torn. When we die, all that will be left behind are the memories we created, whether they bring life or death to our sulking eyes of another life that whispered on by, without a proper ending.
Bully no more
Bully no more
Whose the blame for my pain
Why should I stay in the game
Even my feelings and emotions are at each other's throats
Whose the blame for my pain
Why should I stay in the game
No matter where I walk it rains
Whose the blame for my pain
Why should I stay in the game
When my name brings you shame
You tend to make me look strange
I'm the only human with horns
I know you said your sorry
But everyday hurts even more
You make me apologize as if I'm the blame
You stop hinting that you want me dead
Now you just throw it in my face
Why should I stay in the game
Just knowing i would be the blame
Only make sense to blow my brain
At least the pain will stop
And no one would be able to point the finger
Because my finger be on the trigger
All I ever wanted was to be loved
But it's abuse that gives me the most hugs
I'm tired of alcohol
I'm tired of the hospital
Why I can't I be a child that has fun
Instead of living in a wheelchair
Or standing on crunches
I guess its only one way to change
Trust me I see you in hell
But don't forget the hell you brought me everyday
I don't want to go this way
But it's either me or you
I can't allow you to take my life away.
