Like a Diamond in the Skytwinkle, twinkle, little starLike a Diamond in the Sky7 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
how i wonder who you are
in my mind or there with them
taking all my peace again
up above the world you are
reaching to me from afar
twinkle, sparkle, little light
relive all those wondrous nights
stuck alone inside two hearts
inside minds begin to rot
down inside the world we go
weaving to the river's flow
twinkle, twinkle, tiny light
hesitate to my delight
bleed your rays inside our head
drifting young ones off to bed
deep into the world you'll find
the things they thought that they could hide
twinkle, sparkle, on and off
reassure me its not a loss
comfort me with empty words
remain silent

Julia of the Seven OceansJulia of the Seven Oceans9 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Abandoned she lays
just the clothes on her back
a rock to her waist
and a rope colored black
With an Ocean so red
you wonder how it turns blue
Shes lost all that shes said
lost all shes held true
"Should I jump in this sea?"
"Should I fall down this depth?"
"What's the use being here
When all I've seen is this death?"
"All the people I've loved
All the people I've met
Either up with the doves
or down with the rest."
As the color of blood
envelops the ocean blue
she kicks the rock in the sea
and then she dives in too
The people now stare
as she fades into black
but she smiles so sweetly
and does not once look back

amongst the laughter in your smile
i find the gentle tear of pain
that is sown beneath the rafters
between the walls that hide the stains
through the hidden gleam of shadow
that is overflowed with light
in the faintness of your laughter
that is swallowed up by spite
in the emptiness of youth
transpired from a thought
in the metaphoric blight
that swallows everything you sought
in the sorrow of your sins
that you have yet to commit
in the feeling of despair
that seems too hard to forget
and in those bitter moments
when i can do nothing but watch
and hold an ear open
for all things that you've thought
and hold my arms out fo

Beat Black Birds down
as they rise to the skin,
Concieved in the heart
that is firtle within
The Heart was born vile,
and the flesh was made weak
thus I give birth
to this cherubs' deciet
The malace that moves me
to Love what I hate
Moves also my hands
sealing my fate
The war wages on
'neath rotten flesh
The soldiers all fight
some for Life some for Death
I fight for my cause
so my body I beat
Gouging my eyes
and sev'ring my feet
I'll pummel my body
and lead it a slave
Break myself to govern
the way I behave
The path is not pleasant
and the road walked is cramped
I stay true to my course
and in this path my feet

Soaring with this downward spiral

Sick of everything we have to bear

I'll pull the trigger
On my motives
Before they
Kill my means
I'll burn intentions
at the stake
Before they beat me
To my dreams
Could a pauper
Warm a graceful queen?
Can the moonlight
By the sun be seen?
Could this thorn
Give a flower to a rose?
Will kind words descend
To make sure he knows?
Could the sky
See earth as a goal?
Could a diamond
Ever love a coal?

A Gift..I'm tired of always watching you dieA Gift..7 years ago in Songs & Lyrics More Like This
With every word you seem to sigh
and every time at me you glance
It brings about your circumstance
But you cant hide the dark from light
So just listen to these words I write
You're beautiful dont you know it
your eyes peirce me like a speeding bullet
and render me helpless unable to move
yet with one touch all my fear you remove
and do you know what a gift you are?
and do you know what a gift you are?
I'm tired of waking up without you there
without the scent I smell from your hair
to be unable to watch you sleep
to hold you in my arms to keep
but pretty soon it'll last forever

I don't know what it is I should say
Your skin and bones slowly decay
From the destructiveness of your opal rays
Living life seems like a dream
You turn your head and talk to me
crystal clear i hear your diamond taunts
a lovely blur, a bittersweet jaunt
Hexagon pearls shine with grime
instantly and out of time
You turn your head and talk to me
Your scrambled words and empty deeds
Emerald words were all that i would speak
your sapphire pretensions would covet the weeds
Ruby eyes seemed so serene
You turn your head and talk to me
Complacency amongst the trees
Were found among your garnet dreams

Blank page
as the mind sleeps
while the trains collide
as the thoughts weep
An empty sky where angels run
the shattered moon of those you've shunned
encyrpted hopes of tearful thoughts
the shadowed path of love now lost
The aching pain of feeling now dissolved
drowning into a filtered song
through vacant tears and blistered thoughts
My blatant memories of you gone
And for a moment the love has come and gone
with the crippled hopes that keep me going on
through the crumbled thoughts of tragedies unknown
with the muttered words that help me stand alone
on the blank page where the clouds sigh
where the hurt mourn, where the lep

I dont have the spine
You took that smile back
But it was mine
Roll up my sleeves
And break my back
Today I learned
Nice guys finish last
Kick me till I'm blind
And wake up in the sink
How can I care
What we think

From cure to disease
Did I plant
Any doubt seeds?
Never caused you pain
Never will
But if its pain you wany
Go get your fill
Do whats right
Put my head in the noose
Got me screwed
every way but loose
No ones wrong
Just those that count
Theres nothing but

Kill myself to earn

how was life
when you ripped into my skin
did you enjoy the times
in which my blood was shed
did you laugh along with me
as my tears turned into red
Were you saddened
when i wouldnt show pain
did you cry
when death couldnt cut my viens
I'm sorry that you couldnt keep me down
I'm sorry that I got up off the ground
I'm sorry that I remained sane
I'm sorry that I ended your reign
so i say farewell to you
to my painful past
so goodbye my memories
