Torn..
Ripped as my dreams play in my head..
Don't understand my dreams
once said..
Tossed and turning
once learning..
stopped or paused.
Torn and tattered
my feelings and thoughts
are scattered.
Please slow down the Merry-go-round..
So I can understand..
my feet could land..
plant firmly in the ground
and I could sleep sound.

It would skip a beat when...
Seeing your deep blue eyes......
A chill runs down my spine...

Morning and Afternoon...

The only time I see you...

Your peaceful life...
I wake up from screams...
When seeing you in my dreams...
Cold sweat and tears passing...
Over my face, wakeing me in the night...

And you're standing there
Watching the sun go down
I wanna be everywhere
If I'm feeling you around
We just get blended by the light
Looking at each other so blessed
Loving and holding the one beside
Messing with our hair poorly-dressed
My heart beats as loud as a thunder
And I'm hoping you can't hear it
Suns last ray's rising and going under
Your holding my hand in the heat
To keep this moment in my heart
I do everything for additional time
But don't force me to go back and restart
Can't stand to see you're not mine
Love's no logical thing my dear
And every beat of our hearts confirm
That hurt is made o
The wonder of YouThe wonder of You1 year ago in Free Verse More Like This
Mere words can not explain the wonder that is you
How you make me feel just by being there
I love your eyes, the green of a forest dappled by the light of your smile
Your smile which makes the most amazing sunrise pale in comparison to nothingness
Your laugh which is like the tinkling of silver bells by the choirs of Heaven
Your voice which is the purest music to listen to, golden on my ears
Your elegant, feminine hands with their slender perfect fingers which I long to hold
The entirety of you, the perfection I behold
My breath catches in my throat just looking at you, how utterly beautiful you are
My heart feels like a bird caught
Fallen From On HighFallen From On High7 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Embrace sweet calamity,
The darkness which engulfs you now.
Apollyon, of that intrepid verse,
Now awaits, drooling with a gaping mouth.
Of temptation, the liars tongue,
Striking up the deals that bring you only to ruin
Just below, Tartarus waits for you...
And the patient welcoming shall be of no surprise.
Embrace now, bitter calamity...
The retribution that has longed for thy touch.
The clustered storm, prolonged, procrastinated,
hovers over to knock you down.
The portal, that vortex, to plunge you down.
Have you to own, no peace...
only what is allowed to your filthy hands...
that bitter...sweet...calamity...

I'm very far from perfect
But for you my love I will be
Just so you can love me
Equally as I love thee.

I am so sick
Your patient, been for a while
Give me some fuel
To drive, another painful mile
One smoke shield-
Don't fire this up, to protect me from
This painful truth
Whatever it pumps, is making me numb
It's ok...Let go.
Tranquil SuicideTranquil Suicide1 year ago in Free Verse More Like This
Singing sweet, soft melodies
Muffled by the currents in my head
The will to find the song is drowned
So words come out in screams
The pressure of the water grows
As I fall faster, deeper
So in this flooded, lonely room
No one ever hears
No tears to sting my eyes
Only water crashing broken mirrors
So my eyes begin to close
And I let the darkness blind me
Now the liquid fills my lungs
Collapsing bones and bruising heart
No more life to pump the blood
I truly miss my breathing
The furnishings all drenched and old
No one has lived here for a while
Doors sealed shut and windows barred
Just letting in a pale blue light

"You mean you ain't never heard of the Gunslinger?"
The bar was almost dead at this time of night, and the question seemed to echo around the room - emphasising the sudden silence, rather than masking it.
"No, boy, I ain't."
Only a handful of stragglers remained, the dregs of the evening clearing the dregs of their whiskeys. The lights shone dimly, and everything moved lethargically in the warm Texas night.
"Well I'll be. I thought everyone 'round here knew the story of the 'slinger'," said one of the stragglers – a tall, skinny man wearing a pale cowboy hat. A battered guitar rested on his knee.
"I'm new in town."

The Tears Are DriedThe Tears Are Dried1 year ago in Free Verse More Like This
The tears are dried, but I still cry
There is something in me that won't stop
My sadness has ended, but I'm not happy
There is something in me that won't let me
I'm trapped in the past, and recovery is 50 miles away
I have tried walking but I do not get any closer
The blessings I have had, they are counted
Now I will find all my curses
I think I deserve this, am I wrong?
Can even the one up above forgive me?
Moving on, oh I wish I could
But my heart is stuck and I can't help it
The tears have dried, but I still cry
There is something in me that won't stop
Let me breatheLet me breathe1 year ago in Free Verse More Like This
You're crushing my dreams
This is really the way it seems.
And as I sit here
with tears rolling down my cheeks,
fighting the urge to cry,
holding it all in like always,
because I don't want you to see my weakness,
I realize how much you're bringing me down.
Really pushing me to the ground
When, finally, I summon up the courage
to tell you my plans and hopes,
you bind them in ropes
and suffocate them
like you're suffocating me.
Let me breathe
Let me breathe without being afraid
of your words and voice that scares me,
the voice that has scared me my entire life.
You're supposed to be my dad
You're supposed to be the one gu

Than to be seen
For who I am
People everywhere
Are always telling me
Who to be
And who I am
I'll shout to the sky,
This isn't me
Only I can be me.
Listen closely,
I'll be gone before you know
I'm not
Who you think I am
People everywhere
Are always telling me
Who to be
And who I am
Hush be quiet
Listen for once,
To the real me
Don't fall to others
Stand on your own
Even if
You're torn to pieces
People everywhere
Are always telling me
Who to be
And who I am
Rise again
Be a phoenix in the ground
Don't let them get you down
You are you
And no one, no one
Can ever tell you
Who you are

Sudden Sadness
She looked away from the large window in her room and sighed as another unprovoked and intense sadness racked over his small frame. She shivered, and clenched her eyes tightly shut in an attempt to fight the tears that would soon flow and not stop no matter what she did.
She had no idea why she cried like this. She knew there were things in her life that were sad, but, honestly, she didn't know why she was so overcome.
There were those in this world with lives far worst then her own, why should she cry over something as simple as a man, and a death that had been forgotten by everyone else.
Five months, and she was still cr
Eulogy for BearEulogy for Bear3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
A friend devolves and a beast acquires a soul
These journeys are begun for reasons
that we soon forget. Some of Adam's kin
jettison little-by-little their sacred selves,
finally separating from the human family to
run mad with the currency of
wild nature's uncharitable law.
But some of the beasts become us;
attached by leash they pull us through parks,
we wrestle them like unruly boys
and dress them in old clothes (forgive us).
And in the darkest night when evil is about
we steady their tattered nerves
when we ourselves are fearful
and thus we find our common tongue—
loyalty until death, courage, love.
