Into the dark no moreNo more dives into the deepInto the dark no more1 year ago in Free Verse More Like This
Let me stay in the shallow
I'll dive into the deep again
But not now, not today
I'll stay away from the dark
and the dangers down there
Let me stay inside the light
Where I can restore again
Let the light touch me
The dark won't get me
I've seen enough of it
turned my back at it
The sun can warm me up
To the inside of my heart
No more darkness inside
what I call my mind
Maybe a spark left behind
To remember how it was
So I don't want to return
To the darkness ever again
Dream Like Kings"Dream Like Kings"Dream Like Kings1 year ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
When we dream we dream like kings
Kings with gold and diamond rings
Rings that shine from eye to eye
Eyes divine like massive shrines
In this land composed of sand
Sand as smooth as silky hands
Hands design these crafty plans
Plans that have such odd demands
They call for walls made of ore
Ore taken from the core
The core of which can not be seen
Seen by those who can not dream
They call for halls made of glass
Glass cut as sharp as grass
Grass as green as those jade rings
Found on hands of kings who dream
For war to cease and peace increased
Peace leased away to nations obese
In weapons, bombs, and viole

I woke up in a cold, dry sweat
Tied to a bed that I may regret
I felt the warmth breathe on my neck
It was a feeling I'd never forget
And there she was just standing there
That sinister smile with long brown hair
With cuffs in hand and snakelike charm
My head was soon to sound alarms
Who knew what she was thinking then?
Her smile was of false pretense
I tried to move but out of luck
I was trapped there under satin stuck
Her words were of the utmost kind
The kind that would slowly blow my mind
The soft-spoken whispers in my ear
Made my shiver into pools of tears
And seeing the sparkles in her eyes
I knew it was so

Life is music.
One long song.
With different sounding.
Music define us.
It makes us who we are.
It shows us our purpose.
It guide is through the darkness.
Giving light in despair.
Showing kindness when no one does.
It's our best friend.
It will never leave us.
It gives us hope.
Light and joy.
In moment of need is there.
Making us happy.
Never abandoning us.
When the world turns its back on us music doesn't.
Music is alive in all of us.
It lives with every melody.
It lives within our souls.
We may hear it with our ears.
But we feel it with our souls and hearts.
Denying music means denying life.

This world is filled with love
And that is so good
And everyone wants to know he has someone besides him
Because no one wants to be alone in this world
But I was alone all this time
Alone staying in the cold four walls room
Stuck in front of the computer
Waiting for that one to come
But as time passed by no one came
And I was alone
All the couples were looking so happy together
And the birds were singing their love songs
I had no one to love
I had no one to love me
Alone I stay away
Alone in my thoughts
But then you came and gave me hand
Lifting me up from the ground
And showing me a beautiful worl
Keep on DreamingThere are dreams in this worldKeep on Dreaming1 year ago in Free Verse More Like This
Dreams of anything and everyone
Dreams are more than we believe
More than we actually dream
Dreams inspire
With a bit of faith
Dreams can become reality
Dream on, keep dreaming
You never know where those dreams may go.
Dreams change the world
Dreams can do anything
Dreams created the world
As everything that ever is, or was,
Began with a dream.
Keep on dreaming~
Living The DreamLiving The Dream1 year ago in Free Verse More Like This
We were both born, we met
each other and it was
pleasant; more than pleasant.
We fell in love, got married, stayed together,
started a family and it was
lovely; more than lovely.
We went back to school,
moved around, got old,
retired, and eventually died
in our sleep.
But for such a deadpan remembrance
of our lives, there was
so much
love love love,
there was
so much, and I...
And I always
wake up, and you are not there.

Is not one I want to get out of
Will you get lost with me?
Inside this maze of ours.
Let's get lost together
In this maze or another
I'll get lost in yours

Created by the beauty
Of your beating heart
Right in the middle
Inside this maze of yours
Let's lose ourselves
of the world outside

Dance of The Fallen
I walk onto the dance floor
And am surrounded by ghosts of summer's past
They dance around me wearing faceless masks
Each move with such grace and beauty
I know it is too good to last
Faster and faster the figures dance
To soon do I stumble
Giving myself away
Each covered face turns my way
Suspecting me of being something
Different, Strange
I realize then I am not a faceless creature
A hateful bane
I am bright and vibrant
Something that should not be covered
Or smothered by other's selfish spite
I reject your masks
Your hateful ways
For I am me and I will never be tamed
So I continue dancing

Another day passes and on our knees we cry.
On our feet we fight and we die for our beliefs.
Damned hearts rot inside us.
Devastation arose from the ashes of war.
Cities turning into black dust of endless cries of sorrow.
Children cry silently in the arms of their dead mothers.
The sun never again shines over the black earth.
Wars of endless cries have consumed the world.
All those who can fight are now dead on the battlefields.
Young, old the government doesn't care.
Victory is at stake so every one fight.
And death greets them all at equal sorrow misery.
Once the children laughed and now they cry.
They die because of the

We walk in a line with chains at our ankles.
We sing a song of devastation.
But no one is there to hear it.
We are prisoners with no life left.
Misery is left for us.
Rotten food we ate.
Poison in our water.
Damned our souls are.
All the riches of these lands are now take away.
The culture is now at dawn end and nothing can stop it.
The road is infinite but only the wrong one.
At the end we all fall down in our polluted graves.
All this greed has made you foolish and soft.
All your devotions toward gold have made you mad.
You all should be in a clinic for mad people.
But you are not, you are the ones in control.

no, honey. don't scoff already.
we were perfect together. kind of like dismantled, deranged chords that sound terrible if put in a soothing melody separately. but we made a song of our own, based on sharps and flats people were too afraid to join.
it was because we had it all.
from Wonderland to a land of candy to getting high and imagining it all, we had everything. the world was falling apart around us, crumbling to its knees but we had our bikes and our gold summons of theft and misfortune to remind us of the everything that has now turned to nothing that we had.
it was because nothing was right.

Alone riding on the eternal road.
Home is left behind burning in flames.
Screams of the city echo across the dry land.
The sky is red as blood turns into black smoke.
The city burns and screams in agony.
The sunset is drowned in the blood of thousands.
The road keeps going on but I can still hear.
I hear the screams of all those sinners.
They scream for redemption.
Begging for death.
I gave it to them.
I've burned their bodies and souls.
They are pure from all the sins.
But now they scream since they die.
The flesh burns and it becomes black.
The bones break and turn into ash.
The souls depart with the final d

You haven't heard it bubble and you haven't felt it touch your bare ankles,
because, like I said, it's inside my head.
I am, almost literally speaking, a fish out of water with you,
with my foggy eyes and gaze that always
avoids yours.
It has never bothered me like it always bothered you
but you smelled of human skin and your palms were sweaty -
I could not hold your hand for the life of mine.
You had anger and something else, pity, sadness, all the like,
in your eyes as I took my sleeping pills
I can't remember how you looked like back then

Disaster struck upon the Earth
Chaos spread like a wildfire
And the humanity split
Turning on one another
Soon nothing was left but the bare dust of the burned
The virus spread and killed everyone
And in time the dead came back to life
Hunting the living and punishing them for their sins
The Armageddon came and we couldn't escape
The world fell in to the dust of destruction
With each day the living decay as the dead arise
With each moment the remains of humanity fade
The sun blazes over the dying lands
The dry rivers and burned fields
Only the road keeps on going forever
Only the road keeps us alive

I wish I could remember your eyes and their color-

I wish I could speak to you again, {Your voice always calmed me down}
You always knew exactly what to say,
& You knew how to make everything seem okay.

Forever YoungIf you could live forever, would you take that chance?Forever Young1 year ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Imagine, watching your own life from afar.
Remembering the heartbreak and the tears,
Seeing all the people who left you with scars;
Coming to terms with your hidden fears.
Remember the day when you said to me,
"I want to die young or live forever."
Surely after all these years, you can see
You cannot simply wish for whatever.
Because every time I see you cry,
I'm reminded of just how much I love you.
How could you possibly wish to die?
If only you knew, if only you knew…
Do you really want to live forever?

Awkward TensionAwkward TensionAwkward Tension1 year ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Awkward…
Confined there is no way forward,
And no escape route to look towards.
Forced and fake conversations.
A very time consuming situation,
Words subjected to manipulation.
The moment persists,
Eye contact impossible to resist.
The occasional glance over that is always missed.

He made sure I was never found
He inflicted those scars
He locked me in those bars
He hid me from you
I hid the pain he insued
He screamed at me
I made sure I did not breathe
I carried on like life was fine
He made sure that I was in line
I did every thing that popped into his head
He made sure I was lead
His abuse is becoming more than I can bear
Talk against him- I wouldn't dare
Then a chance- it now called
I would run away I would never fall
I ran away from this place
I made it like a race
It did not matter the cost
As long as I was lost
Keep Running.

It can't be found behind a shrub
It can't be found in the skies above
I've searched beyond the bars and clubs
For this crazy thing we call love
If you look before you leap
You may chew off more to reap
But if you take a chance that's deep
You may give your soul to keep
In the hands of someone you don't know
But watch this love now grow and grow
Like magic in the air with someone you care
More than life itself I dare to share
And once on track you can't take back
Nor lose slack between the cracks
Let yourself free to be what you see
And honesty will foster what you mean
If you lose before you gain
