Heartache on aisle 5
I wake with sudden ambition, a deep sadness stretch's across my face and I take A moment of reflection
my ghost of past lost visits me once again, A bitter-sweet reunion of the face I wished to lay beside.
for A seemingly unrelated dream can shift to the most serious of moments and it is the heart that seems locked in A eternal nightmare.
with eyes as sharp as glass she stares into my soul and lights it asunder with every second I am forced to remember her everything.
how is it that after this long I refuse to let go even when I have begged for...

Burden of the mind
Flames of regret engulf the pyre of a life unknown,
a man ponders his decisions and the path that has lead him so far from his wish,
time like a raging river has carried the man down years of emptiness,
hope for the dream is but a fairy tale, a fond memory the man holds dear,
he reach's into his chest and grips the source of his pain to mollify its influence,
like poison it taints the mans mind despite his efforts and breaks away his hope,
was it even real, was it just a dream or was his mind just intoxicated by the idea.

Curse of a memory
I live in my dreams and die when I wake,
cursed to be happy but only for a moment.
from her voice to her laugh I hear it all as if she were there,
just to hear it disappear.
Though i know it isn't real, I feel her warmth clinched in my hand,
a cold reminder how lost I am.
my heart feels heavy now that I wake,
to look to my bedside to see an empty space.
I lay back processing every detail trying to hold on to the false memory, trying to pull the dagger from my heart that bleeds desperation.
so I lay there knowing how...

Eyes
I wake with the unsettling feeling of something that feels like it watch's my dreams.
this familiar feeling that draws me back in like a receding tide.
a bitter sweet taste left in my mouth followed by flashes of pain and regret.
a sore that wont heal, a lie that must be told again and again.
I begin running down an endless corridor of memory's and lost hope searching for an answer that never comes. the shadows of my past tearing at my psyche with every step I take, stealing from me the very understanding I so desperately need.
I am trapped in...

A prison of Dreams
A dream is truly a window into the hidden experiences of a persons life.
Whispers of the past, echoes of the now,
A dreamscape where emotions plough.
The hidden experiences, unkept and unbound,
In the silent theater of the subconscious dream.
We are reminded of pain and regret, of Pleasure and Rejoice.
Each scene a reminder, a cinematic art,
Of the turmoil within, tearing at the heart.
Scripts of sorrow, inked in shades of gray,
Unfolds in the mind where suppressed memories hold sway.
The dreamer, a captive in a phantasmal cell, ...

Incomplete
And thus I realized what could not be fixed, A life time of chances all ruined by my hand.
how dare I believe I could live A life in which I had always dreamed.
my sins bare to much weight to redeem.
The world feels bleak now and I wonder the city lost and alone
thoughts of the last time I would ever see her rack my dome.
It pains me so but I must stay away
her happiness means more to me, I'll miss her everyday.
I like to think that in another life, I'll find her again and make things right
until that day my heart stays cold
for it's your touch...

Forever Holding on
In the face of trials that seek to confound,
There stands a man with love profound,
Through life's troubles and trials unkind,
He persists, his true love in mind.
Like a phoenix rising from ashes of old,
Love blooms anew, a story to be told,
In the heart's hidden chambers, memories reside,
A troubled past, but love stands beside.
With every sunrise, a chance to renew,
To build a future where love will shine true,
The troubles may linger, but love will outlast,
A beacon of hope, A love unsurpassed
In each other's...

Realm of Thorns
The man layeth in a patch of thorns,
the brier poisoning this thoughts with every twitch.
A life sentence of deserved misery, gasping for breath, strangled by the words that he couldn't keep.
oh, what fate for this misbegotten fool.
Residing in the pits of despair and reflection the man falls to it's depths,
echo's of a bitter sweet life cutting into his very self, bleeding a ichor of sorrow.
draped in a vail of unattainable dreams, desperate to shed a tear, entwined in the memory's I hold most dear .

Forever waiting
I lay here waiting for the day we meet again
why is it the great gears of life not turn in our favor my dear
why must i deal with the anguish of having to wait for that day.
I am a broken man but strong to these words
"I will wait for you"
and so time goes on unchanged
springs, summers, falls, winters
still I wait for you.
and as I draw my last breath, I wait for you.
now we get to meet anew
me as not me and you as not you.
finally we meet for the...

devils flame
There once was a devil, whos rage was untamed.
something to prove, his soul unrestrained.
he watched from afar, with rage in his heart,
he'd act on his rage, and tear them apart.
Then came a girl, she'd settle the beast,
There was something about her, that put him to peace.
the devil felt love, a world all to new,
and for once in his life, he had something to loose.
In her eyes, he found solace, a tranquil reprieve,
A chance to unshackle the tempest's upheave.
Her presence, a balm, a soothing embrace,
A melody of tenderness,...

Inky Heart
My mind it wonders, of a better time,
when love was young, and you were mine.
I gave you half my heart to hold,
this ink runs deep my love you hold.
I still think back about that day,
when I first met you,
I couldn't look away.
you had me then, like you have me now
I knew right then, my heart was bound.
I ponder on our youthful days, the things we said the promises made
and it brings me PAIN,
like a knife wedged into my chest,
I can only look away at best
but blood seeps through, and so do you.
But I know...
