Like weather worn dissolving walls
Cleansing darkness seeping through
Brooding swelling shades of blue
Foolhardy resistance to divine charms
The only sanctuary her graceful arms
Clarity in her eyes soothes my heart
Slightest of her touch gives me a start
An ember believed to be stomped out
Nursed and mended by a soul devout
Inspired by roaring flame in her chest
Melting the hesitation at their behest
With closed eyes pressed close together
Matching lips for what felt like forever
Progress Of RegressionTime restrained behind a vacant faceProgress Of Regression in Songs & Lyrics More Like This
A sluggishly slow crawling pace
This welcome never presented
Kind words quietly resented
Wild reactions, thrashing out
No clue what it all was about
Enhancing calm of delicate hands
Emotions bound in rubber bands
Gateway to acknowledgement
Revolving door of punishment
Real or recycled communications
Grafting into our conversations
Falling closer, drawing near
Shedding this facade of fear
Steel on skin as we commence
At a fluttering organ's expense
This pulsing river of vitality
Drawn into punctured reality
Precipitating this filthy mist
Transformation we can't resist
Gateway to immortal
Clay HeartsOnce shattered and fragmentedClay Hearts in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
No repair had been implemented
Kept locked away, Keep out
Shrouded in a cloak of doubt
I want to entrust them to you
In your hands to mold anew
A design unique and ours alone
That goes beyond skin and bone
Let our passionate kiln lay fire
Harden the feeling and desire
Unify us in love's artesian eyes
Melded malleable formed lies
Bring us crashing down to earth
Millions of pieces given birth
Half MoonThe half moon rises into the night skyHalf Moon in Free Verse More Like This
As if showing its understanding of me
Half my heart on display for all
Hanging above like a cross that I bare
Yet the other half is still there, so dark
Shrouded in confusion and uncertainty
Missing what it truly needs to survive
Void of the light that nourishes
Just like flying moon high above
My light slowly absorbs the darkness
Overcoming the flaws of my humanity
Letting go of the past full of pain
Until I am complete once again
Ready to share my life, my heart
Overflowing with compassion and love
Is this the one, is this my time to shine
Or am I doomed to repeat this cycle again

Our IliadI was there to steal you away like ParisOur Iliad in Free Verse More Like This
You were my Helen, a caged angel
With hopes of crossing the sea
To a stronghold where love could flourish
But he could not let you be happy
His lies hurt you for so long
Yet he never truly realized
His Trojan Horse of deceit would fail
An Achilles heel made out of his illusions
Seen through and dispelled by a kiss
A darkened shadow over you dispatched
With love's true light shining brightly
Steadfast before an army of envy and regret
Two defended against many
Our walls will not bare any marks or crumble
Embracing, yet creating our own version of fate

Even real life can be j
CautionI wouldn't sell my soulCaution in Free Verse More Like This
Yet I gave it freely when asked
Am I empty
Should I be so cold and unforgiving
My heart is gone
I tore it from my chest to dull the pain
Are you willing to sacrifice your own
To catch these bloody tears
I welcome you into my arms
Your soul is only a morsel
Your heart, but a ripe fruit
Dreams I shatter with just a kiss
I destroy everything I touch
Draining that precious life energy
Leaving nothing but pain and agony
Ashes and dust of destitute decay
So stay clear of my unnatural charm
For Death closely follows my footsteps
Throughout the brooding shadows
I beg of thee, don't fall victim to me
The Demon and The AngelI was but a lowly demonThe Demon and The Angel in Free Verse More Like This
Nothingness did consume
Empty, yet I waited patiently
An impossible chance at redemption
A Star that has slowly risen
But never rests
Drawn to thy calming light
How I befriended thee
So you spread your sweet wings
Dear angel and flew away with me
High above and through
Our burning inferno
Fate quickly stepped in
Forced the sunset upon us
I was banished to the depths
Left only a way to observe
She was set free again
Only to be caught by him
Her wings gleamed brighter
This Pained my demon eyes
But my only wish came true
Her happiness and not my own
My heart stayed heavy, burdened
I kept it locked
Love and LostThe words "I love you" were utteredLove and Lost in Free Verse More Like This
Yet our hearts are in retreat
The flaws are mounting
Our foundation has cracked
The space between growing slowly
Forcing our hands to separate
Clenching with our fingers
Slipping and unable to grip
Drifting away like the morning tide
I am losing touch with her heart
Losing sight of her face
Her voice no longer reaches my ears
Without her support I fall flat
I can barely move my limbs
I am powerless and broken
The darkness closes in
My breath is taken from me
I am fighting for air
Choking on my emptiness
Spitting up what's left of hope
I cannot go on any longer
But I made a promise

Abduct my scarred love
Offer it up to appease your desire

Temperature jars loose reason
Craving that envenomed kiss
I will accompany you into lust's oblivion
