SHADOW
A shadow lurks behind me, like an unnatural force who always claws its way into me
Running towards the wall, my shadow makes it there before me
Painted in the mortar before I break the bricks
Somehow always leaving threads of it embroidered deep into my skin
How many walls will I annihilate before I break its stitch
Running towards the wall, my shadow makes it there before me
Painted in the mortar before I break the bricks
Somehow always leaving threads of it embroidered deep into my skin
How many walls will I annihilate before I break its stitch

SILENCE
some days I like it in the dark
thankful for blackout blinds and cotton sheets
a peaceful reprieve from the false prophet's noise
finding myself as a blank puzzle piece
it is sublime

a peaceful reprieve from the false prophet's noise
finding myself as a blank puzzle piece
it is sublime

PULSE
Thunder grey was the feeling left in her mind
Dead leaves with thorny vines
Suffocating and gasping the air she breathed
Her emotions had imploded
Leaving trails of snarled thoughts
and
scarcely located pulses of light of what was once her life
Crawling throughout the carnage of cruel intent
Razors thin cuts of malevolence
Willing herself towards the first pulse she could reach
Pulling the chains of courage along with her
she captured the first pulse and fed it to the throne of her soul
The only place...
Dead leaves with thorny vines
Suffocating and gasping the air she breathed
Her emotions had imploded
Leaving trails of snarled thoughts
and
scarcely located pulses of light of what was once her life
Crawling throughout the carnage of cruel intent
Razors thin cuts of malevolence
Willing herself towards the first pulse she could reach
Pulling the chains of courage along with her
she captured the first pulse and fed it to the throne of her soul
The only place...

TIME
Time. When it's contemplated, they're so many different perceptions of it's value. We seem to live in a society where our time is taken for granted. We get in the mode of procrastination or complacency ,that for most is a selfish concept that we have all the time in the world, or we live in the mindset that the quantity of our time is often devalued by the quality of our time.
Most people that know me personally have expressed to me that, I am a caring individual that understands that their time won't be wasted,when they have my time. Other's that know me personally think I am a cold...

WARRIOR
Leaving trails of tears
Amidst notorious fears
This warrior became beguiling
She was lonely and disconnected
Her seduction of the heart flayed and afflicted
She knew too much to walk away
A soldier's calm
Quiet as a fawn
Her heart the only echo
Laying wounded and broken
When death had asked for his token
She denied herself safe passage
Luna was her only true form of a lover
Illuminating the stars to guide her
Giving her soul a map to its resting place
Her battles were victorious slaying...

DON'T
Don't tear me down to broken pieces
Just so you can be the one to mend me again
Don't turn me on as you see fit
So I'm left starving and longing again
Don't
Don't make me ache for every inch of you
Again
Don't sit back luring me again with your fingers to glass
As only you know how to do what it is that you do
Don't leave me in a place to make a choice
Again
If you going to start this fire
You must burn for all of me
Don't assume that I don't remember what you wanted
Don't be the reason I walk away
Again
Just so you can be the one to mend me again
Don't turn me on as you see fit
So I'm left starving and longing again
Don't
Don't make me ache for every inch of you
Again
Don't sit back luring me again with your fingers to glass
As only you know how to do what it is that you do
Don't leave me in a place to make a choice
Again
If you going to start this fire
You must burn for all of me
Don't assume that I don't remember what you wanted
Don't be the reason I walk away
Again

MY STAR
I was a child when I first met you in my dreams
Free playing by the river, catching the tadpoles in your tiny hands
Insisting the birds and butterflies were yours to care for, that they spoke with you
Loved by you as you were their princess, to care for all of the creatures to weak to care for themselves
You insisted on making by hand a home for the fairies to land
Gathering the twigs and leaves,the greenest grass, the longest blades
Soft enough to make natures angels a place where when you went to care for them they had a place to sleep, a place they could call...
Free playing by the river, catching the tadpoles in your tiny hands
Insisting the birds and butterflies were yours to care for, that they spoke with you
Loved by you as you were their princess, to care for all of the creatures to weak to care for themselves
You insisted on making by hand a home for the fairies to land
Gathering the twigs and leaves,the greenest grass, the longest blades
Soft enough to make natures angels a place where when you went to care for them they had a place to sleep, a place they could call...

Who I am
I look at the words and I have noticed that they are changing
You have become so far from my reach, I see no point in pleasing our curiosity
You have found your peace and that is all I have ever wanted for you
Nothing for me could be further from the truth that my words are still bleeding out of my head
No matter how long I walk on this edge, I find myself slipping every time
After I catch myself and hang on again
I often wonder why I cling to your crumbling boulders
Or why I reach for the ledge of your slippery edge
Always you have had a place for me...
You have become so far from my reach, I see no point in pleasing our curiosity
You have found your peace and that is all I have ever wanted for you
Nothing for me could be further from the truth that my words are still bleeding out of my head
No matter how long I walk on this edge, I find myself slipping every time
After I catch myself and hang on again
I often wonder why I cling to your crumbling boulders
Or why I reach for the ledge of your slippery edge
Always you have had a place for me...
