In the eyes

Strangled by this constant distraction

Stifled by indifference

It could have been the best I ever had

And this foolishness may turn to folly

But these demons have taken over

And my once peaceful life has been quelled

Get it over with

Let the blade fall

Vindication waits on the horizon

For whatever consolation it may yield

Destiny belongs to those who throw caution to the wind

Brash and raw is pure and fierce

And the voice of reason agrees

If we do not do this as if we were crazy

It wouldn't be worth doing at all

Seed

I'm running out of my mind

In, three levels deep

Seconds are years apart

Fantasy mixed with memory

You keep me up

Nights turn into days

Lost in the search

Confused in the dreaming

Where are we?

And what will be?

Riding on your every breath

2 days ago

Two more days
Till two years after
Not quite the plan

He's a good man
With a good heart
Who loves her
Without a doubt
She is happy
Content
On life's path
Or so it seems

The sound of settling
Can barely be heard
But is a chill through her veins
She laughs
Her smiles genuine
She loves,
Trusts
And that is all she needs
So says the world

He comes in often
He just sits there
He speaks
Smiles
His laughter stirs the ground
And somehow his eyes speak volumes
A thousand words in two brown mirrors
A million questions asked
A million and one answers
An invitation never given
A confirmation never said

The coolness in her blood dissipates
There is an uncomfortable yet assuring warmth
Her eyes alight
Yet the coolness and the calm clash with this energy

Reality breaks
A phone call
An appointment
A Tuesday night date

Two days to two years
A lifetime in waiting
The right guy
The right time
The right place
Yeah
It seems so comforting

Kindling

You are like ember
A steady flowing glow
Anticipating the brush of life
If our spirits were free
We would be set ablaze
Fire, endless bliss

Tangled

I see you
But I can not speak
Caught in restrain
When truth finally reveals itself
When clarity ensues
Fate’s twists silence
We are powerless
We wait
For twists to untangle
Trust in truth revealing itself again

5 to 8

Slouched in a depression
Staring up at the ceiling
I reach out my hands above me
The daylight falls on my palm
I reach into the empty air
Hymns lull me into the emptiness of space and time
Horizontal lines on the window stare me down
Numbers on the wall is my heartbeat

Eyes wide and moist
Flightless in the nest
Dreaming of green fields and blue skies

There are no chains, just bad habits
No sentence, just dependence
No bars, just distance
No dream, there is no dream

The day shines bright
But where is the light?

Falling Leaves

From a thousansd miles away she wakes
A world of possibility waits
She steps into the brightness of a new morning

She is strong yet she is fragile
Always trying to prove herself
Struggling to bloom in a world of loud palettes
But her presence is the gentle hue that inspires
She thinks that the world is filled with gloom,
Her silent pain is the world's contempt
Yet she shines like the sun
She is the vision, the muse and inspiration

She remains unsure, oh if she could only see
She is the song that keeps the world together
And she doesn't know how much she is loved
But she is my only hope
