A Reunion of Friends
Afraid of the pen,
My one time friend
From long ago.
Once betrayed
And here we stayed,
With no other place to go.
Somewhere inside
The words may still hide,
But I no longer know their light.
My mind must be free
For my soul to see,
For my heart to feel the fight.
So much confusion.
I need this reunion.
Too much focus, not enough time.
I feel empty and drained.
I've become too strained
To stand up, and take back what's mine.
My one time friend
From long ago.
Once betrayed
And here we stayed,
With no other place to go.
Somewhere inside
The words may still hide,
But I no longer know their light.
My mind must be free
For my soul to see,
For my heart to feel the fight.
So much confusion.
I need this reunion.
Too much focus, not enough time.
I feel empty and drained.
I've become too strained
To stand up, and take back what's mine.

The Nightmare Begins
Lost in the darkness.
Can't find my way.
Sick of feeling love.
Need to escape.
Light has all but left me.
The darkness closes in.
Dreams are all empty.
The nightmare begins.
There is no way out,
And nowhere I can turn.
No one now to talk to.
So many things I should have learned.
Once I lived in fanstasy.
My life is caving in.
All my dreams are over,
And the nightmare must begin.
Can't find my way.
Sick of feeling love.
Need to escape.
Light has all but left me.
The darkness closes in.
Dreams are all empty.
The nightmare begins.
There is no way out,
And nowhere I can turn.
No one now to talk to.
So many things I should have learned.
Once I lived in fanstasy.
My life is caving in.
All my dreams are over,
And the nightmare must begin.

The Search
Part I
So many memories...
Voices from the past
Whisper empty words in my ears.
I sometimes see tracers on my skin,
And I try desperately
To wash away
All the handprints,
All the lust,
All the hurt.
They made promises
They never meant to keep.
Some were so angry.
So selflessly selfish.
I saw it in their eyes.
Lust.
Anger.
Fear.
Self doubt and self pitty.
They seemed so sincere,
At first.
By the time they turned
And showed their intentions,
I was devoted.
I blamed myself,
But they haven't...

Hold On
I try to let go of them,
I try to make them leave,
But they hold on to my fingertips.
Wanting, trying,
Almost needing
To stay.
Why is it
I cannot
Hold on
To you?
I try to make them leave,
But they hold on to my fingertips.
Wanting, trying,
Almost needing
To stay.
Why is it
I cannot
Hold on
To you?

Passion Stroke
Rhyming words.
Simple,
Yet full of passion.
Stories unfold
Melodically in my mind.
Words jumbled together
So carefully
Paint pictures,
Create images
Never before concieved.
I'm filled with wonder and awe
As I see before me
The worlds you've created.
You spark imagination,
Open minds,
Bring to pass visions
Few may believe.
You touch hearts,
Summon tears,
Battle unnatural foes,
Color fears,
All with the simple
Stroke of a pen.
Simple,

My Place on the Shelf
I watch you
From my place on the shelf,
Where you put me long ago.
I watch
As you hardly live a life
You do not desire.
As you hope
For a life you will not try for.
From my place on the shelf,
Where you put me long ago.
I watch
As you hardly live a life
You do not desire.
As you hope
For a life you will not try for.

This Is
I feel your arms around me.
Your hand
Finding its place on my shoulder
As I cuddle next to you.
Beads of sweat
Still glistening.
Skin against skin.
Legs intertwined.
You kiss me
Lightly
And hold me tightly.
We laugh.
We talk
Of anything and everything.
Your heartbeat
Serenades me
As we fall softly
Into sleep.
The only other sound
In the silence
Is our beathing.
And I know...
This is peace.
This is love.
Your hand
Finding its place on my shoulder
As I cuddle next to you.
Beads of sweat
Still glistening.
Skin against skin.
Legs intertwined.
You kiss me
Lightly
And hold me tightly.
We laugh.

As we fall softly

And I know...
This is peace.

Love me
Give me back all the tears,
And all those years
Spent so seperate from the rest.
Give me back my innocence,
My ignorance.
Take away all the pain.
Give me back my sanity,
And take the heartbreak.
Heal my soul,
Return my heart.
Or love me.
For without your love,
It wasn't worth it.
And all those years
Spent so seperate from the rest.
Give me back my innocence,
My ignorance.
Take away all the pain.
Give me back my sanity,
And take the heartbreak.
Heal my soul,
Return my heart.
Or love me.
For without your love,
It wasn't worth it.

The Ghost Behind Me
I watch what he is going through,
Reliving my own pain at the same time.
There is nothing to say.
Just be a presence and let him lean,
But I am falling over myself.
Tall as I am, there is still a brim
And I am full to bursting.
Strong as I am,
There is a limit to the weight I can carry.
Whose ear can be leant,
Whose eyes can see and heart can feel
This pain I've lived through again and again?
It keeps me in it's taloned grip
And claws my breath and my brain
To leave every trace of the happening behind. ...

Bittersweet Sonata
Soul is burning,
Twisting, turning,
In my rebelious rage.
I laugh, I cry,
I live and die
Here upon my stage.
So many to choose.
Too much to lose.
The pain won't go away.
Here in your arms
Safe from any harm
I simply want to stay.
Amidst the lies
And bittersweet demise
We scream and cry for more.
Forget the names
And all the games
And go on as before.
Twisting, turning,
In my rebelious rage.
I laugh, I cry,
I live and die
Here upon my stage.
So many to choose.
Too much to lose.
The pain won't go away.
Here in your arms
Safe from any harm
I simply want to stay.
Amidst the lies
And bittersweet demise
We scream and cry for more.
Forget the names
And all the games
And go on as before.

Shift
Out of sync
Out of touch
Out of temper
Out of time.
Waiting
Always waiting...
What is it I could do
To make myself as interesting
As all the things you don't really care about?
Have to fill the void
The silence
The lack of satisfaction
That comes from your lack of attention.
Have to fill the spaces in between.
But then you wonder,
And you wait...
Both waiting for that touch,
That awakening,
That peace that comes ...
Out of touch
Out of temper
Out of time.
Waiting
Always waiting...
What is it I could do
To make myself as interesting
As all the things you don't really care about?
Have to fill the void
The silence
The lack of satisfaction
That comes from your lack of attention.
Have to fill the spaces in between.
But then you wonder,
And you wait...
Both waiting for that touch,
That awakening,
