Dark 1

Eyes are closed.
Writing in darkness.
Truth will be known.

By the end of this poem.
This is a fear.
Yes. it is a fear.

Unknowing of what the hands will write.
What the hands will reveal
From this soul's
Dark secrets.
Unsteady gazes linger in the depths-
Memories.

Memories of that which have been wept.
This is all in the dark.
Yes all in the dark
Writing, writing
What Is secret even to my heart.

Skin

How many days has it been?
Brushing away the layers of skin,
Skin that just doesn't belong anymore.

Because it's old.
Older than the rest.
Flaking off one's shoulders,
Like the sins they once had.

Holds of a different nature,
Of living messes.
Correctly diagnosed as
Skin's old tresses.

Flicker

In the flicker of the flame,
Life is lived.
Just to keep one sane.

Life is lived.
Battling out the doubts that surface, life is-
Life was.

Reconsider those consequences,
That cause the flame to flicker.

Do not let it flicker.

Colorful Dead

Awake, asleep.
Beautifully invisible.
Can you see the dust slowly fading?
Violet rays of sunshine,
Moonlight always red.
Colorful world to live in.
Colorful world of the dead.

Dreams

In a wishing mood,
People dream.
Dream that which they wish to see.
Forget the laws of physics,
They will not let life have a limit.
Because people dream,
And dreams will always be.

Untitled Day

Bright and shiny days are here.
Lost in this ridiculous notion of fear.
Bold confessions never left one so broken.
Wishing to hear the sleeping bird's cry.
As it whispers to the night,

Good bye.

Good bye sweet night, bringer of light.
Good bye for it is time.
Time for all to end,
And all to be left together.

Thoughts

Far from this which you see.
Hear the whispers up close,
Closer to your ear.

Intoxicating scene of pure essence-
Long lost to this world.
Voices clearly speaking-
Slowly fading.

Fading.

Fading.

Take

We know more than we let on.
About that long droned on song.

The way the ground shakes,
When we think of ways to fully understand its shape.

Those who have heard are those who have seen,
All that there is in this world to be.

A mystery, a garden.
Here.
Gone.

Always what we want,
We take from.

Sail

The Ocean is deep.
Deep and ever changing,
But still the old man keeps sailing.

He doesn't know when,
He'll drop his sail.

All he knows is that sweet sound of the gale.

Secluded

As the dawning of the new age comes.

We rise only to run.

Chase after dreams, break at the seams.

Daring nature awakened only to be left forgotten,

Guilt, anger.

Love devours.

Secluded, we stand.

Journey

I write in my silence.
A smile on my face.

I walk forward, into that space.

Where I know you are waiting.

Waiting for the journey to take place.

I know I'll make it there- Someday. 
Together with you...

Always.

Grandmother

Daring child, leave this place.

Find another kind old face.

Be the one who smiles for all.

Make sure you stand up again with each fall.

Never ignore your grandmother's call.

Burning

Burning sensation.

Filling me now.

I've got to break this hold on me, some way.

Somehow.

I'm wounded like an animal shot in the hunt.

Out of breath, barely holding on.

Jilted with purpose.

Slaughtered by meaning.

I'm  wishing that I just gave into the screaming.

My life is a gash, left on the leg.

Scrapes on the knees-

With no Band-aid.

Nonsense

This is me talking. 
That's right, me.

I'm breaking from the inside out.
I don't know how to sort it out.
Broken from the start I suppose.

Yeah, yeah I know thorns hurts on the rose.

Nonsense ain't my style-
I'm actin' like a cruel lil child.
Spoiled lil child.
Shut your mouth!

I ain't got the time to get ye riled- 
So spur of the moment is this rift between us.

The lion's gonna eat tonight,
Eat them lil lambs tonight.
Once, twice, thrice.

Psycho fallen angel.
Devil in disguise.
Breaking now is most unwise.

Change

I have not changed.

I do not believe that I can

This is what I hardly ever understand. 

Understand the truth behind these gentle eyes that hold a gaze.

Lost amongst the bloody haze.

Remember, remember what you once held dear. 

That is what they tell me.

That is what I'm told.

I love thee?

Do I?

I know not anymore.

For I have chosen to ignore my heart's implore.

Diving head first into confusion.

I have not changed at all.

I'm still running from thee.

Decrease

Being what is expected,
Knowing it will not change a thing.
Driving one down the road of rejection.
Is it the same?
Are they the same?
Vacant expressions say nothing of truth.
Caliber decreases.

Fade

Fade unto me,
Only me.
For me.
I long for thee.
Only thee.
Save me, my lovely memory.

Tale

Spread cheer, spread cheer.
Happy days are here!
In this night was light born,
Years, years ago.
Tales of old, still told-
Handed down, passed around.
Joyous occasions filled with never ending innovations.
On how to bring together a Fam-ily.
To make children smile through out the years,
Remember they are children,
And only children.
Let their minds dream of sweetness and purity of this world.
For they are the key-
To its future destiny.

What is this feeling I feel?
This vast emptiness once again.
What reason?
What purpose?
Why is it filling me now?
Is it something from the past.

Sanity

Exhilarating, this demon suffocating me.
Was I wrong to resist?

Resist this forbidden bliss?
I think I was.

No, I wasn't

Conflictual thoughts plague my mind,
Countering each other out. I don't understand where I'm breaking.

All I know is that I am.

Silence presses down on me.

What's wrong?
What's wrong?
This silence is not my friend.

Whispers are filling my head,
They are not my friends.
Fearing my mind.
Loving my fear.

Asylum,
Take me.
Take me
Away into that place I fear.
To your depths of sanity redeeming qualities.

Forget
Remember
Alone, again.
I have no clue why.
Was it my own doing?

No, I was always alone, always here-
Here in my mind's sanctuary.

They cannot see me.
For my eyes are shadowed by doubts.
I cannot trust.
I will not trust.

Enough.
Enough!

Sanity.
O' sanity.

Please leave me.
