Loud Darknes
The loud darkness
Within my heart
Is dimming the light inside
Echos of death
Closing all the doors
Trapping me
In this obscurity
Where no one is home
Wondering if I'll get out alive
Crying alone
In the infinite dark
Terrifying whispers
Consuming my thoughts
Trembling as fear
Dominates my mind
I am afaraid
There's nothing left
Of me to be saved
Remaining lost
In this dark eternity
As a memory
Of an infinite light shattered then
Consumed by the loud darkness ...
Within my heart
Is dimming the light inside
Echos of death
Closing all the doors
Trapping me
In this obscurity
Where no one is home
Wondering if I'll get out alive
Crying alone
In the infinite dark
Terrifying whispers
Consuming my thoughts
Trembling as fear
Dominates my mind
I am afaraid
There's nothing left
Of me to be saved
Remaining lost
In this dark eternity
As a memory
Of an infinite light shattered then
Consumed by the loud darkness ...

LOVE POEM

His Love
He so desires to be her peace
Offering her his best
Seems often
He fails at daily tests
He wants to be her safety
While she rests
Through his pain
Through his struggles
Shes consuming his thoughts
Again and again
He wants to dance upon moonlit sands
Walking together holding hands
Awaiting upon the arrival of their balance
He desires her at his side
Tranquil views
The sky
The water
Sandy feet
Uninhibited conversation
Between them
His desire to provide her a peaceful life
With his pains...
Offering her his best
Seems often
He fails at daily tests
He wants to be her safety
While she rests
Through his pain
Through his struggles
Shes consuming his thoughts
Again and again
He wants to dance upon moonlit sands
Walking together holding hands
Awaiting upon the arrival of their balance
He desires her at his side
Tranquil views
The sky
The water
Sandy feet
Uninhibited conversation
Between them
His desire to provide her a peaceful life
With his pains...

Whispering For A Father
I yearn for the silence of the madness around me ,
Finding solace in the darkness to hold and cradle me in this twilight of tears
I am a withering rose slowly dying
as life giving water of my fathers love will never fall upon my heart
my soul dreams no more for happiness
I find refuge in the shadows
Where fates kiss of farewell surely falls upon me
I try to hold onto memories melody to the rhythm
Of my broken heart
Whispering the words to a fading song that none shall hear
There is no peace in my heart for what can be...
Finding solace in the darkness to hold and cradle me in this twilight of tears
I am a withering rose slowly dying
as life giving water of my fathers love will never fall upon my heart
my soul dreams no more for happiness
I find refuge in the shadows
Where fates kiss of farewell surely falls upon me
I try to hold onto memories melody to the rhythm
Of my broken heart
Whispering the words to a fading song that none shall hear
There is no peace in my heart for what can be...

Seeking Your Approval
Many years
Seeking your approval
Of me
Many tears
Fallen from my eyes
Everytime I was denied
All I asked
All I wanted
Was to be appreciated
And shown love
Because I'm your daughter
My loyalty to you was
Solid like good wood
Not a time
Nor a day
Have I not been there
Continues
Respect
Honesty
And my presence
Has been my fare
Never have I asked for anything
With my hand out
Nor any reward in return
Money, cars, a house
Can't love me back
Only you can... ...

Living In Isolation
She yearns to be free
From his world
Of condemnation
She has dreams
And goals she
Wishes to reach
He punishes her
Then destroys them
Her desire is Only
To live in peace
In a world where
He’s always waging war
She struggles
To be freed from
His shackles and chains
Of humiliation and insults
Degrading her further
Into shame
She mentally escapes
Into a world
Of her own
Where she feels free
To relax putting her
Guards finally down
Shes finally safe
Safe enough to...
From his world

And goals she

He’s always waging war

To be freed from
His shackles and chains
Of humiliation and insults
Degrading her further
Into shame
She mentally escapes
Into a world
Of her own
Where she feels free
To relax putting her
Guards finally down
Shes finally safe
Safe enough to...

Lies & Rumors
Choose not to believe
The lies and deceit
That deviants spread
And can't be unsaid
A demon of deception
Seduces their reception
With slanderous myths
Of various trysts
They add to the absurd
From what they've heard
Destroying minds
Of an innocent kind
Exaggeration can kill
Can a liar feel?
Is their conscious clear
When a victim is near
An edge of a gully
Because of a bully
So don't be naive
With what you believe
Look at the source
And don't be forced
Into the game ...

Somewhere In My Mind
On those sleepless nights
I lay in bed
I gather up all my thoughts
Inside my head
Breathing
I begin to relax
As I cease the flow
Of my existence
Leaving behind
The insanity of the world
To indulge in the
Moment of clarity
Breathing
Letting myself go
As I begin to breakdown
Forfeiting all my beliefs
Of who I am
Who I was
Who I’ll be
Breathing
My spirt rises
And set sail in the breeze
I dive into
The depths of my thoughts
Lost in the vast
Open skies ...
I lay in bed
I gather up all my thoughts
Inside my head
Breathing
I begin to relax
As I cease the flow
Of my existence
Leaving behind
The insanity of the world
To indulge in the
Moment of clarity
Breathing
Letting myself go
As I begin to breakdown
Forfeiting all my beliefs
Of who I am
Who I was
Who I’ll be
Breathing
My spirt rises
And set sail in the breeze
I dive into
The depths of my thoughts
Lost in the vast
Open skies ...

Fueled Frustrations
Frustrations are fueled
You neglecting my needs
Falling apart in front of you
And you don't even see me
Behind my smiles
Behind my brown eyes
Lives so much hurt
I work hard to disguise
Frustrations fueled
Constantly degrading
Receiving discredit in return
Denying me any claim
Less you forget
I am of your design
Our blood is the same
Fueled frustrations
Behind my calm demeanor
I'm angry inside
Voice without chords
Replaying then rewind
Kept closed up
Suffocating my soul ...
You neglecting my needs
Falling apart in front of you
And you don't even see me
Behind my smiles

Denying me any claim

Sheets of Rain
Past two years
And sheets of rain
Repairing her life
Healing her pain
Committed to home
She still feels displaced
He opens her wounds
Calling her
A disgrace
Clips her wings
From taking flight
Hell bent and
Determined to
Decimate her light
Feeds her poison
Watches her slowly
Die from within
He leads her
Back toward
The path of
Self destruction
Her life seems
Pointless
Her head now
Hanging down
Her body is
Now weakening
Shes ready
To bow out ...

SPIRITUAL POEM

10th Sep 2019 5:45am
How Does Your Soul Submerge?
Do you retreat to a secret place
When you break down and cry?
Does your conscience nag at you
When you tell a lie?
How do you express your anger
When your mad?
Do you feel your spirit brighten
When you laugh?
When does your plate become to full
Too much for you to take?
Have you ever lost yourself
In so much hate?
Does your mind surrender
Under the blazing rage?
How does your heart mature
When held captive in a cage?
Where do your thoughts roam
When your so consumed by grief?
After you break down...
When you break down and cry?
Does your conscience nag at you
When you tell a lie?
How do you express your anger
When your mad?
Do you feel your spirit brighten
When you laugh?
When does your plate become to full
Too much for you to take?
Have you ever lost yourself
In so much hate?
Does your mind surrender
Under the blazing rage?
How does your heart mature
When held captive in a cage?
Where do your thoughts roam
When your so consumed by grief?
After you break down...

Silent Symphony
Do you honestly believe
I am your muse?
To write and compose
The melodies of my agony
I’m not your sheet of music
My suffering is not
Your notes for you to choose
And to be honest
Only a man Of dishonor
And bad taste
Would conduct a symphony
Playing my tears of pain
Boasting his power
For the audience to applaud
How perfect you really
Believe your are
So go ahead
I beg of you
Play the melodies of your
Cowardly tune
Play till your hearts content
Play I beg of you till

Psychopathic Predators Game
She wasn't given an option
To live or survive
In an environment of
Demonizing corrupt perplexity
On the outside perfect picture
Who would fathom
Such a thing?
Behind the doors closed
Psychological manipulation
Overshadows her with
All of their
Malevolent darkness
Gas lights flickering
To annihilate her placidity
Tearing her down
Brick by brick
Exposing her nakedness
Weakening her mind
Chipping away who she is
Who she was
Everything she was
Meant to be ...
