Forever longing
Forever yearning
Time ticking
World turning
Life
Flying away
On soft wings
Never to return
The darkness creeping
Silently
Eating away
At the soul
Tormenting thoughts
Hope, no more
But a weak feeling
Forever longing
Forever yearning
For the freedom
Never to be found
The life
Never to be fully lived
Trapped
For an eternity
Voices whispering
Dark words
In my mind
Never letting go
Of the pain
In my short existence
Forever longing
Forever yearning
For hope and feelings
To return
Freedom
Never to be had
Never to be felt
Never to be lived
Time ticking
Worlds turning

And destroying the equilibrium of the house.
Well, forgive me for dying in what I thought was private.
It's a noisy affair,
Escaping hell.
I'm going nowhere..............

A Crumbling SocietyLives lived unlikelyA Crumbling Society10 months ago in Haiku & Eastern More Like This
The flawed human condition
Makes them a system
In which lifestyles are like
Diversity; gone.
White clouds into smog
And ink to binary code
The computer age
Common sense of man has changed.
The sheer laziness
And utter stupidity
In the Web we trust.

You are that butterfly
the pastel dye,
the painted wings
a puppeteer's tangled strings.
Memory of views from the sky
as hard as you try
Velvet antennae
to heavy to fly
But flight you will gain
for in the Red Rain
your beauty is shed,
wings flapping instead.
Scarred you'll remain
lost blood and new stain
forever with pain
but fluttr'ing again.

Living a LieI say farewell to her as I walk out the door. Not knowing that I would ever see her again, not knowing I should have stayed. As I walk down the sidewalk towards my car a light appears in the sky, a wave of fire sweeping over the horizon. Everything in the explosions path being thrown in front of it and disappearing into the fiery inferno. I try to turn around but before I can it hits me and for a brief instant I feel my entire body on fire and disintegrating into nothingness.Living a Lie11 months ago in Short Stories More Like This

I Try To Hide ITSo many things I try to hideI Try To Hide IT1 year ago in Free Verse More Like This
But I just can't
I care about others
When others don't even care about their self
I try to hide it at times
But it's hard
It makes me sad to see them hurt
Even though they try to hide it and push me away
I am a friend that wants to be there
But you have to let me in
So I can help.

Safe placeSAFE PLACESafe place2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
jump
jump over a bridge
jump over the moon
jump over this entire world full of hurt
and just go to that safe place that is in jumping distance
and place your heart there
then come back to this world of hurt
only because you know your heart is safe
away
away from the hurt
away from the pain
away from the two faced people
and away from the messed signals
so so very far away
safe and warm gentely
placed on a bed of feathers
in that safe place where
no one
no one can hurt you
no one can find you
no on can make you cry
no one can stop you
where you can be you and no one is in control of your life
you
except you

There was a somewhere over the rainbow
Where me and my dog can go
Pain washed away by the rain , warmth and sunshine remains
A place where love and happiness flows
Tears and fears we'll never know
Flowers of joy always grow
What a dream it would be
Only if it were so ..

not enough to so few
all soon to be no more,
and nothing to do
yes I chatter,
and clamor,
and chuckle,
and cluck
to try not to think
about thinking
such thoughts
I'm doubtful,
and skeptical
convinced of a dream
can you hear me?
feel me?
ripping apart at the seam?
I seek light
so awareness
may dawn
to stop spining
these spirals
so far downward

Love was my mistakeWhat hurts me the most,Love was my mistake1 year ago in Free Verse More Like This
Is the fact that I care.
I care so much,
My heart breaks.
The pain in my chest will never go away,
Never, until my dying day.
My dearest love, how could you go?
Leaving me here to die alone.
I loved you so,
Yet it wasn't enough.
If you told me so,
I could change.
I lived off of lies,
The lies that I once believed.
I guess that it is no use anymore,
I have figured out my mistakes.
Dearest friend,
Who was once my true love,
I shall never forgive you,
Not after what you have done.
Yet life must go on,
With you here or not.
I won't let it kill me,
I know what it's worth.
The lies you fed me,

Hide and Seek.My life is a constant game of hide and seek.Hide and Seek.5 years ago in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
I hide from the world because I am afraid,
because I've been hurt so many times before.
Because I love to hide in the shadows,
where I am safe from sorrow and pain.
I hide from the world because no one notices,
when I'm gone, no one cares.
I hide from myself because I love what I've become,
but no one else does, no one cares.
I hide from the world because as I play,
no one else does, no one cares.
I play alone, in the shadows, waiting,
for someone to find me.
They have no desire to look...to seek,
they leave me wounded and hidden, alone.
When they decide to love me for what I am,

Tomorrow is

before yesterday's day
after flowers bloom starkly

and pour rain

blending the priest

as he takes a sip of cider

wickedness abounds
as the young lovers
meet around the master flowers
their lusty perfume clouding
their senses
but they don't exist
they never exist they lie and they don't breath,
they never learned how because no one had the time
oranges
blossom in the trees blissfully
waiting but never seeing, never losing their colour

Departing many memories, along with friends.
The three years were quick, but I'll never forget
These fun-filled years you presented to me.
I never thought I would ... change this way.
Stepping in the classroom, I felt just different.
That grasp for an answer, that is just right there
That feeling of love, for the beauty of math.
I never thought I would ... depart someday.
To the cruel, fuzzy land high above.
I'll miss you all ... but I must go.
Go and go, to seek something new
Something which I can spin out, from all of those years.
To share the love
The excitement
And beauty ...

I've DiedNever has my day come so deadI've Died1 year ago in Free Verse More Like This
In the night when a haunting voice is heard
And my ears shield to not hear
But the tremble is impossible to not hear
So like thunder it strikes my ears
And going back to see...
As I look and stare out to the night.
Running across my mind
Is a road that never seems to end
Darkness covering my feet
Not knowing where I go, where I run.
Then I stop, hoping not to fall
And I come cross a divided path.
The paths say, "Death" and "Hope"
Am I then stuck here
Because I've already passed each path
Not knowing where to go
For all that you know...
I'm dead.
