Painted Train
I watch as my derailed thoughts
Drip from the canvas catching
Flame in the light of truth hidden
Inside my retinas shooting out a
Beam that illuminates the image
Causing a fracture in the color scheme
I stand between the still image
Created from the ashes of
Past illusions and the hacked firewall
Of a true identity found in a newly
Developed software that disintegrates
The viruses in my memory bank
I paint my skin in acrylic neon

Deluded Fear
I feel the wings of faith
Wrap around me as I
Sift through intense
Memories of things I
Can't express through
The light of forgiveness
I watch tears of love
Fall from the clouds
As I drown in the words
Chosen through complicated
Feelings that emerged from
A volcanic situation
I try to enhance the winds
Of change in my heart through
My actions and inflate
The characteristics of a
Neon future driving the extra
Mile on cruise control while
Searching for gas

Melting The Twisted Dagger
I walk across the shattered
Remains of my previous
reflection feeling the circulation
Of new oxygen posses my lungs
And fuse my heart with my
Train of thought opening the
Windows for fresh air while
Feeding the Fire with genuine
actions
I feel the weight on my
shoulders decompress more
With every demon that's
conquered through the light of understanding and Passionate will power To achieve a greater outcome by applying the most reasonable solution
I cup the hands of time
And pour every emotion into ...

Beautiful Anchor
I feel the winds of change
Caress my body like an
Ocean breeze instilling
Confidence in my ability
To make waves in frozen
Water
I wrap myself in the
Ashes from unfortunate
Incidents and revive them
In a positive light slowly
Facing them with an
understanding mind set
And watch as the war
Between my heart and
Mind fade
I extract the melody
From the birds and
Use the feathers as a
Brush to paint each note
Using every shade of my
Newly developed personality
And inject it...

Masked Deception
I swirl my tongue around
On already answered questions
Painfully battling a war within
Me doubting the trust in
The actions of those
Who hide behind a mask
Painted in the words of
Deceit
I study the ink blots
On the walls of my mind
Trying to develop an
Image of realistic solutions
To devour the identity of
False accusations
I watch the toxic oil
From my body illuminate
The ink as I brush my hand
Across the paper slowly
extinguishing The dark
Flames that burn within

My Inspiration
I feel the heat of passion
Swim through my veins
Melting the icicles formed
By the encounters with actions
From my past reflection
I inhale the dust kicked up
By those who aren't yet sure
How to formulate a reasonable
Discussion and I use the taste
As lessons to improve on the
Weaknesses in my mind set
I drink from the fountain
Of patience and understanding
While bathing in self improvement
Encouraging others to drench

FREESTYLE WRITING
I swim through the ether
And turn it into water
Drifting over Ice bergs
Shooting out the gate
Piercing through the
Realm of night rays
Caressing the gentle
Breeze that deepens
The meaning of my reality
I break through the
Hour glass and bathe
In the sands of time
Stretching out the fabric
Of the universe while
I feel the stars melt
Into my platinum
Mind state drenching
Every thought solidifying
Them in an iron case
I feel my concreted heart
Liquify under the pressure

CLARITY
I brush my feet across
The hot coals while feeling
A light sprinkle of water
Drip on the back of my neck
And slide down my back
While the sunlight beats down
Making the coals flare up
I look to the sky hopeful
For another droplet of water
And I watch the clouds turn
Black and fall from the sky
Blanketing the coals forming
A mist of white energy that
Slowly absorbs the oxygen
I hit my knees gasping for
Air when I notice a light
Piercing through the mist

I see the force of neon
Actions impact my storm
Of emotions driving the
Lightning through the sea of
Words left unspoken by the
Mouth of the unpredictable
River
I watch the waters crystalize
Under the future consequences
Dimished by the mixed paint
Exposing a beautiful light that
Shines through misunderstood
Situations melting them into
A pool of acid that turns into
A colorful smoke that rises
And vanishishes without a trace
I stand on a sheet of
Black ice that begins

Positive Electricity
I watch as a collection
Of colorful butterflies
Swarm around me and
Attach themself to me
Slowly lifting me from
Perdition and sitting
Me on solid ground while
Their colors sink into me
Painting my train of thought
Exposing different shades
Of reality
I notice a pond filled with
My previous toxic decisions
And I stick my hand in and
Fill it with the grace of present
Actions and transform it into
An ocean of Light that glides
Across the diamond I found
In the rough slipping into it ...

Destined For Greatness
I look up to see the moon
Emitting a neon glow that
Flows through the air waves
Creating a soothing breeze
That wraps around me
Whistling a choir filled
Melody that lights up
My soul
I watch as a star descends
From the heavens and sits
Upon the stream of colors
Radiating a fierce passionate
Energy that expands through
The forest awakening the
Souls burried within the hollow
Trees bringing them back to life
I feel the grass grow beneath
My feet smiling with joyful
Tears that drip from their ...

My Present & Future
My Present
I look up at the grey
Sky and watch it melt
And drip down turning
Into blue splashes of
Purified water that
Sink Into my roots
Energizing every step
I take
I start my journey
Down the road paved
With white bricks
Watching the blue purified
Flames shoot towards the
Sky on each side of me filling
The air with glimpses into
My future that melt my heart
I stand still and take in
The energy and I see a
Dragon circle above me
And descend with it's wings ...
