True love
True love
Never dies
Always inside
Haunts us
At night
Love beholds
The beautiful one
Shining bright
Old friends say
He isn’t the same
But true love
Never dies
Out of the blue
Foolish beats
Could’ve been
So beautiful
Thinking of you
Time marches on
Memories die
But they always
Left the light on
True love
never dies
Shining bright
Love comes
To life
Out of the blue
It had to be you
Walking on
Broken glass
Dust in the wind
Is all they had
True blue
I love you
You need
to calm
Down
It’s all for you
A new man inside
His destiny finds
A gold crown
In glory
I feel like
traveling on
God only knows
When it will be
His light
Will shine
Bright for
All the world
To see.
Dreaming
Terrifying dreams
A child knew
A life preparing
Him for all he
Could do.
His life was hard
It never stopped
Asleep or awake
The price was pain
Never loved he didn’t
Know why so he gave
It freely trapped inside
Inside his head most
Of his life anxiety
Controlled his fate
Not much he could do
He knew he was different
He always knew
His dreams always
Showed what he would do
A warrior was made
God had a plan
He would become strong
By the touch of her hand
His life was a prison
Or so he thought
It was really just teaching
Him what he needed to see
A special boy
Became a man
He would light
Up the world
God had a plan
Defeated and sad
The time had come
To put all he had learned
To a test
He failed a few times
Or so he thought
Each one he grew
A little more soft
Levels are levels
They help us see
Where we need help
So we can be free
Gods son saw his light
She helped him shine bright
He’s beginning to see
All he can be
The man leveled up
became all he can be.
no more lies, no more pain (the storms here let it in)
the kiss starts cold, tasting soft grey. muddy, hesitant, nothing is clear- a what are we doing? then moving closer, interrogating further a question what is this, the taste deepens to midnight blue– darker, more intense, concentrated. it’s a mess of emotions edged with silver curiosity; a glint of something in the dark, a there’s something here, do you want to dig deeper? the taste of darkness, in the midnight blue, is alluring tempting, you shouldn’t want this but you can’t help it. then a trip, movement not in synch, sudden teeth and– the taste is a sharp burst of fire-red; eyes snapping open, hands gripping tighter, a gasp of air and then eyes shut. teeth, a closer desperation. a solid, yes. they are in the back alley, pressing against a cold concrete blanketed in darkness. the kiss was a surprise, glint of silver; a sparked curiosity, an oh turning to muddy grey- a stop, hesitance, eyes half-open, a is this real? then tastes of dark blue, eyes closing, temptation and oh yes to a sharp-burning red, a sudden realization-. then, a wrenching clash of blazing fire– yes, yes god yes. a collision of emotions with a staggering force of a supernova, drowning in an eruption of colors,
pink-red-red-orange-yellow-white

Whispering Feathers
My words kiss
Your ears
Whispering feathers
To your soul
Enchanting you
To make you whole.
My lips speak
Softly to your skin
Silently saying
To your whole
Enticing you
Give your soul.
My spirit enters
Your body
Smiling and glowing
Takes your soul
Forming as one with me
We are whole.
Photograph
My fingers splay over the faded edges of your picture.
My eyes linger over your crinkled smile longer than they should.
A ghost of a memory sweeps through my mind, I can almost still feel the sensation of your fingers dusting along my naked backside.
A candle lights the walls of my soul, recounting how you made me whole.
I still visit those memories in my mind from time to time.
As I gaze at your photograph, I secretly wish you were still mine.
Sorry
show some sympathy
some small sign,
sweet sorrow,
salvation stripped so soon,
silently singing, screaming,
so save something
still surviving
somewhere
sightless,
systems steaming,
symphonic star shining
second start, simple symmetry
such similar showboating
staying so symbolic
slightly sad sob story
so shallow, still scared
send sly stories
showing serious suffering
same sins,
shameful stares,
searching, still stupid
scars slit skin,
soulless, she said, she slipped, slain
so sick, so still, so shattered
sorry, so sorry
