Destruction Disruption
With threat of a monster lurking
She tore off both of his arms
Turned swiftly to the winds
To face an unseen swarm
With trembling legs he crawled to her aid
Smiling at death as he gazed upon it's face
She cut out her heart, realizing her mistake
Betrayal embeded only in her mortal state
War escaped her once contained center
Only hers, forcing the voices to shatter
She made him whole once she remembered
The ancient healers, they do not dismember
Arisen, a flame came from a silver sword
Wings dried her tears and...
She tore off both of his arms
Turned swiftly to the winds
To face an unseen swarm
With trembling legs he crawled to her aid
Smiling at death as he gazed upon it's face
She cut out her heart, realizing her mistake
Betrayal embeded only in her mortal state
War escaped her once contained center
Only hers, forcing the voices to shatter

Eternity
Open wings, Angel of death,
desperation climbing,
losing his way home
as he walks intoxicated, alone.
Breathlessness arriving,
shadows now appear,
reciting a silent prayer,
no one listening here.
Sentencing depriving,
court in full session,
the judgement is eternal
no remission possible.
Saluting sweet shadows.
Parting as we shiver;
Life, sadly, is immortal,
free falling into endless fire.
Amen

Parting as we shiver;

It Takes A Rose To Light A Tomb
Rising to greet the morning
Darkness slumber washed away from the night
Eyes of sorrow, eyes strain to open to greet the coming day
Throw on the cloths that cover the vail of empty inside
Step out to the overcast day, a chill creeps inside these bones
A light grey covered the sky, a light rain fell
Clasping covered hands to warm,
A hat pulled to hide, to shade from the pain
A while has passed from a light now gone
A warmth from whence a rose bloomed
The pedals of a heart closed not to open again
A memory, distant of a...
Darkness slumber washed away from the night
Eyes of sorrow, eyes strain to open to greet the coming day
Throw on the cloths that cover the vail of empty inside

Clasping covered hands to warm,

Untitled 3/17/19
I've done a lot of thinking
Some good
Some bad
And some random
I haven't slept much
My sleep schedule is way off
I'm practically nocturnal
I barely eat
Or drink
I can't think long enough to focus on work
Nothing gets done
I'm pretty pathetic right now
And I hate myself for it
Some days I cry over the smallest things
Other days I'm frustrated at everything
But most days, I'm numb
Family, friends, ex-boyfriend, school
Its complicated
And stressful
I wish I could turn off my brain
I want it...

Dark Dreams
She breaks his heart,
For each night they spend apart,
Feeling the weight of loss and despair,
Sobbing in the pages,
That now seem lost in ages,
The lovely dream seems like a nightmare.
Now he writes in vain,
Sitting and writhing in pain,
Thinking his letters somehow will get to her,
But the ache is so deep,
As each night he loses sleep,
The sight of his beloved is becoming a blur.
He takes all the blame,
As the ink bleeds her name,
Pouring all his emotion on every leaf,
With each tear he drops,
He sighs and...

The Speed of Sound
My frequency, your waves
I make a ripple and before it can become a wave,
Your waves crash into mine and overpower.
I can scream, sob, yell or whisper but it will not be heard over you.
Can you hear me over your noise?
Can you listen at the risk of losing your voice while you steal mine?
For once, just be quiet so I don't lose my mind.
How I wish to tell you what runs through my fields of thought.
How you would recoil at the snapping, angry dragon-lilies,
Shrink away at the loud criticism of the Black-eyed Suzies,
Bite your lip at...

One Man
Just one man
A world of horror and pain
And against it stood
Just one man
Alone, he stood and he saw
He watched as his people are persecuted
He watched as his family was cut down
He watched as babies where torn from their mothers
He watched as his sisters were forced to flee
He watched as husbands turned on their wives
As neighbors cheered as their supposed friends were killed
He watched as his brothers were hunted
Killed for who they were
Killed for where they were born
Killed for how they were born
He watched as his...

Sorry..?
You owe me an apology!'
"I can't afford that."
'Apologies cost nothing!'

the depression
I’m down
And depressed
But who cares?
With this depression I could lose friends
I think that would the greatest thing
Will ever happen in my life
Because I don’t want to bore
People with the same story
They might end up saying
I am lying.
I have been praying to Jesus
And praising him
But I’m not loyal enough
I have chosen alcohol over him
I don’t trust him enough
With my problems
But who is perfect?
I have been told to find help
If not, I’ll be miserable forever
Who will able to help...
And depressed
But who cares?

I have been praying to Jesus

The Forest
If we have a belief
an opinion
on what we think
yet
our belief
refuses
to self reflect
serious questions
new information
previously
hidden facts
Have we not
become lost
within a forest of words
with trees of sentences
that we don't
really understand
walking the forest
with head bowed low
in circles
with faceless friends
losing the ability
to bend
in life's winds
to up grade
ones opinions
to allow ones mind
to flow
where ever
logical...
