Lords of sorrows
A leaking pen of
Blue ink
Compose sad letters
that fall into mourning words
contrast against
mystic and romantic
anecdotes that whirl in a frenzied
dance upon the
window pane
they, do not suffice
to lure you
from the hurt, you feel
the dampness of regretful pain,
Salt weeps
from your eyes
to drop
and crystalise into beautiful
rocks that I
collect in my velvet pocket,
But,
Summoned magic cannot liberate
your enveloped state ...

Blue figure eight
You are like a bunch
of forbidden figure eights
No matter how I try,
I can never quite turn them into
A king of hearts
You are attractive like a blazing fire,
Casting fiery sparks into the frozen winter air's chill
Your ray of light is addictive, I'm addicted
Got to collect your rays, your fire flies, like Christmas lights,
When I most need to decorate the space
Space that counts, keeps track of how far away I am from you, tugging me like a rope that I can't seem to grip
A segmented chess board stares me in the face from every corner ...

Funeral Tears
Why
Are funeral tears expected
The smiles of nice memories
Rejected
The occasion is dismal, dark and drear
But amongst it all
Happy thoughts are near
Thinking about times long gone
Laughter you had
Parties gone wrong
When saying adieu to loved ones dear
Don't let sadness lead the way
My philosophy is that you ought
Make some room for one happy thought
Let that be the forefront of the day
Push the sadness far away
Keep that thought in your mind
And heart
Then you and your beloved
Will never be apart...
Are funeral tears expected
The smiles of nice memories
Rejected
The occasion is dismal, dark and drear
But amongst it all

Don't let sadness lead the way
My philosophy is that you ought
Make some room for one happy thought
Let that be the forefront of the day
Push the sadness far away
Keep that thought in your mind
And heart
Then you and your beloved
Will never be apart...

REFLECTION
Looking in to darkness in the middle of the night.
seeing a person wondering who it is in this dim light .
As I get close to look I see a broken girl bleeding from the heart covered in bruises and scars screaming on the top of her lungs.
As I see the blood drip from the open hole in her heart I go to open my mouth to ask are you alright.
But then I see that the person looking back is me and it's only a reflection of the broken girl inside me ...

Concrete Barrier
mere seconds
a life can change
irrevocably
damage so concrete
even the cracks
reject composition
the barriers are up
an infinite ascension
you’ve no key
my pain is singular
no amount of interest
can pacify
the stifled scream
i will wear it forever
it is indelible
internal signals
fire the sirens
the sound clouds
all judgement
my delicate being
has been vandalized
all feeling has dissipated
emotions are futile
only i will care
at...

Wandering Goodbye
Sometimes love's just not enough
You can keep trying and cryin', flying and dyin'
But love's just not enough.....in love
When you're tearing up and sobing inside,
But trying to swallow every little sound
I wanna drown my soul
I wanna let you go,
But i can't face my demons
Without your hope.
And you didn't even know how to love,
I tried to teach you but i wasn't enough,
There's other people who you can't trust,
And i couldn't kill them before you gave up
Biting into the memories,
Suffocating in old...
You can keep trying and cryin', flying and dyin'
But love's just not enough.....in love
When you're tearing up and sobing inside,
But trying to swallow every little sound
I wanna drown my soul
I wanna let you go,
But i can't face my demons
Without your hope.
And you didn't even know how to love,
I tried to teach you but i wasn't enough,
There's other people who you can't trust,
And i couldn't kill them before you gave up
Biting into the memories,
Suffocating in old...

Somehow
If we could have made it to September,
Do you think we could have made it back through May?
We will never know what could have been,
But still, remember…
We could have found a way.

Caving In
The walls are getting closer again.
There's no where to turn anymore.
Everything I have touched has somehow been ruined.
It's like curse.
It's getting harder to breathe now.
The light is getting dimmer.
I feel myself disappearing little by little every day.
And people are disappearing too.
Hope is dimming.
The last little bit of light is fading.
Nobody too really talk to anymore but the words on this page.
I feel so alone.
So forgotten...
The walls are carving in.
There's no where to turn anymore.
Everything I have touched has somehow been ruined.
It's like curse.
It's getting harder to breathe now.
The light is getting dimmer.
I feel myself disappearing little by little every day.
And people are disappearing too.
Hope is dimming.
The last little bit of light is fading.
Nobody too really talk to anymore but the words on this page.
I feel so alone.
So forgotten...
The walls are carving in.

Not Like This!
Death took you away from us.
We did not deserve this!
In life's place, emptiness -
A void...
Irreplaceable.
Most things in life are replaceable,
But not you, unfortunately.
We only get one shot.
So here we are; finding ourselves...
Shortchanged; without warning,
Time runs out, no second chances,
No last goodbyes.
Before you know it, your number's up,
It can't be redrawn, that's the thing.
Someone stole you away from us,
They're hiding you somewhere,
Death's hostage, so final. ...

Calling out for my angel of love man
Calling out for my angel of love man
Who is supposed to watch over me
Every single night
After sundown before sunrise
The one whose supposed to stay close to
My bedroom window at night
And guide my sleep with soft whispers
Of constantly repeating
I love you to me
Searching for my angel of love man
Every night under starry skies
The one whose supposed to
unfold his two large angel wings
And slide them gracefully into
The stiff arches of my back
The one whose trying
To cocoon me with his...
Who is supposed to watch over me
Every single night
After sundown before sunrise
The one whose supposed to stay close to
My bedroom window at night
And guide my sleep with soft whispers
Of constantly repeating
I love you to me
Searching for my angel of love man
Every night under starry skies
The one whose supposed to
unfold his two large angel wings
And slide them gracefully into
The stiff arches of my back

This space
this terrestrial trance..
transformative and true.
I love this space, I really do
despite the thoughts
torturing me,
I feel free,
free to be
whoever and whatever
at any moment really
so it's quite silly
to swim in the sorrow
not expecting to drown as
the raging sea of sadness drags me down down down..
it is the light
lingering through the waves
which pulls me to the surface
where I can breathe once more.
